Remember Bill Munson? Backup QB for the Rams for a few years in the mid to late 60's. He wasn't very good... but I remember, ah youth, loving the guy and believing him completely. I had the utmost respect for Johnny U... but remember the '68 season, '69 SB? Earl Morrall took them to the SB only to be replaced by Johnny U in the SB, (playoffs to maybe? can't remember when he came back in)..by JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
those slow developing runs in the 1st half that pretty much went for naught suddenly worked in the 2nd half... they didn't stop running those plays, they stayed with them. Left me scratching my head and I'm still scratching my head today. - JamesJMby JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
or rather... Ron Weasley.... when Hermione scolded him from not noticing the 3 headed dog was standing on a trap door he replied something like "Sorry, I was a little busy watching his 3 heads". What the living hell am I getting at, you might ask? I was so into the game... and wondering if Goff could snap out of it.... the last thing I paid attention to was Demby. Odds are they cby JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
Backups can and should be better prepared. Absolutely agree that there are not 64 quality starting caliber QB's in the league.... that doesn't mean to me, however, that the less than starting caliber QB's can't be much more prepared.by JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
And I'm not ready to put this corp in their league BUT... if not 'there' they are certainly doing their best to GET there... we have some great route runners... which leads me to: Total mystery to me why in that first half Goff seemed to take so long.... someone in the game forum said he has to have everything running 'perfectly' or he won't make the pass.... I don't know if that's true but itby JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
I don't think it was even mentioned? I didn't think, however, it was a 'sure' penalty... just close. - JamesJMby JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
with the same diatribe I've been having since the web was invented... approximately the same date, ironically, that the 'all your eggs in one basket QB approach' began. I think it's going to grow more and more incumbent on the NFL to loosen up a little on the current training/roster rules to allow for adequate preparation of backup QB's. Of course, that alone won't do it. Because coacheby JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
although I'm not 100% this is true.... but I highly suspect it. Anyone else noticing that when your cursor hovers over some ads the 'scroll' function gets shut off? I can't say this is 100% intentional but I've noticed lately that scrolling down on a webpage with my trackpad if I stop over an ad with the cursor then try to scroll again I cannot... not until I move the cursor OFF the ad.by JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
this is just general perception. Seems to me most good RZ teams, the OC's, run plays in the RZ that are smooth transitions from all the rest of the plays... with obvious adaptions due to the more limited amount of turf area in the RZ... in other words... it's basically the same game plan squeezed into a smaller area. With McVay I get the feeling, well, more than just a feeling, it's nightby JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
but like you I can't remember who said it... maybe the same place you heard it, maybe not. But even with my penchant for 'overestimating' the Niners I think predicting an NFC West Championship is a stretch. Even if one believes they have filled enough holes with talent they still have to make it all come together. - JamesJMby JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
again, hate seeing any player go down with injuries.... seems especially poignant with Brees at this time.by JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
in regards to players who have a huge impact on a game even if the 'flashy stats' aren't present. Remember last week and the posts here about Donald being 'triple teamed"? Sure you do. :laughing But my point is I had a Niner fan friend mention that to me without me saying a word about it.by JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
I tend to always overestimate them... shell shock from the old days, I guess. So I agree with you, they are emerging... but then I almost always think/fear that. - JamesJMby JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
has more wins than any other division in the NFL. Much to early to read anything into that... never the less... could be a dog fight this year.by JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
sstrams brought that up during the games yesterday, on the Game Time Forum... having done ZERO research I firmly believe when the Rams are quick to put the play into action they are better. - JamesJMby JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
sorry to get all nostalgic on ya :laughing I remember scratching my head THEN at how many people showed up late to the game. Of course... back then I was even more of a fanatic. I'd pull into the parking lot hours before they opened the gates.... no, or very little, tailgating in those days so I'd be waiting at the gate to enter before the night crew was relieved. The second the gates openedby JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
although I have not seen the Cowboys this year. On paper, however... WOW.by JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
I think that was the most 'consistent' D performance I've seen in a while. There are always ups and downs but I thought the D in this game from start to finish was very well executed. - JamesJMby JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
but on that particular play Wentz wasn't doing anything foolishly brazen. He was simply going that which every QB in the NFL faces every Sunday in the NFL, only better than most.by JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
and I couldn't agree more. The effort from all after the catch I felt to be extraordinary.by JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com

I've been around since leather helmets... happens all the time.... I misread all the time... except with ZN of course, he's always wrong. :laughingby JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
I ASKED.. that's a BIG difference than pronouncing it LAW. I don't KNOW... said that in like 3 threads now? I'm ASKING.by JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
I don't remember Goff being shaken... or allowing anything extraneous to the game itself interfering. Obviously that doesn't mean he hasn't played badly... but I don't think external pressure has ever been a factor.by JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
if that happened to the Rams I'd be hysterically irate... probably write a nasty letter to the NFL officials. - JamesJMby JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
Wentz has always come off to me as a bit of a gunslinger.by JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
but if your talking about plexiglass supports then yeah, that would work. I also think the black metal corner pieces would be great.. I see not problem there. See, what I have in MY mind... is a very clean yet nearly futuristic look... but obviously I may not be on the same page as you.. hard to visualize over the internet. - JamesJMby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
this next year... crab feed at the Dante Club... lets plan early so maybe it can happen. - JamesJMby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
