They built their football success on an Angelino, Bill—Straight Outta Compton—Walsh. But do we get any thanks?by Ekern55 - RamsFootballFans.com
Well, this is easy. Don’t know if he’s had injury problems, but Jordan Howard should be starting at RB.by Ekern55 - RamsFootballFans.com
Chris Jones legit strip sack of Carr and recovers the fumble. Nope. Roughing the passer.by Ekern55 - RamsFootballFans.com
McVay doesn’t honor the run game. I’ve said this before. The run game is just a ruse to keep the defense honest. In actual fact, the run game is very complex and requires as much timing if not more than the passing game and tons of reps. But McVay is not inclined to treat it with the attention it deserves.by Ekern55 - RamsFootballFans.com
165 yards rushing. Not good. Another 57 yard scamper to pay dirt. Not good. Their backs were pushing the line forward for 5 plus yards on runs up the middle. Not good. Yeah, our offense sucks. McVay’s never going to become Vince Lombardi and talk 8 hours on the power sweep. (Wouldn’t that be nice?) But the defense needs to do a better job of tackling and that’s on the coaches.by Ekern55 - RamsFootballFans.com
Opponent defenses do not feel the core of their defenses—the front seven—are threatened. Who would you rather have, Ezekiel Elliott and Tony Pollard, or Cam Akers and Darrell Henderson? Snead and McVay keep drafting running backs that fit with the ‘chunk play’ offensive scheme, but they can’t evolve into selecting guys that run north and south. And so defenses are cheating because theyby Ekern55 - Game Time Forum
The defense gave up nearly 150 yards rushing…against a QB that was cut this season. Maybe stack the box?by Ekern55 - Game Time Forum
Exactly. Bail on the route and help your OT. You aren’t going to catch a pass when Pasons is running full speed at your QB.by Ekern55 - Game Time Forum
I watched the entire game. I’ll always pull for my Rams. But when I see a plan for a team (the Rams) that doesn’t measure up to competing with that team they are playing against, then I’m glad I have a message board so my thoughts don’t just sit in my head all week.by Ekern55 - Game Time Forum
That’s what I’m worried about too, mex. Les Snead often likes to make stock and bond analogies. McVay has been a beneficiary of a boom market. Now teams have him figured out and it’s changed into a bear market.by Ekern55 - Game Time Forum
This gives McVay a chance to look in the mirro and say we’re a middling team. I hope he can figure this out. But this season is taking on water at a high rate.by Ekern55 - Game Time Forum
He’s not a complete coach. He can’t handle physical teams. You’d think he’d diversify and have Snead draft/sign player that just play tough football on a consistent basis and let the chunk play mold be shelfed every now and then. But the way this team is constructed, there’s no well to draw from when you need those players.by Ekern55 - Game Time Forum
Lol. Yeah. That would be bad.by Ekern55 - Game Time Forum
Morris does not have a defensive mindset. He’s more versed on the offensive side of the ball. I don’t think he grasps dominating an offense to the point where they wave the white flag. He’s probably the only D coordinator in the league who doesn’t have defensive chops.by Ekern55 - Game Time Forum
The D was thinking about it.by Ekern55 - Game Time Forum
Seriously. I’ve run the ball with a concussion. You avoid contact. He’s useless in this condition.by Ekern55 - Game Time Forum
57 yards was the same distance as Deebo ran last week. What’s up with the sub-college level tackling?by Ekern55 - Game Time Forum
That was the cherry on top.by Ekern55 - Game Time Forum
Just run tot he goal line. Don’t run to the sidelines. My goodness.by Ekern55 - Game Time Forum
Run north and south? Too much to ask?by Ekern55 - Game Time Forum
Does the NFL really think reasonable fans will buy this? They know they won’t. But the league makes money by hyping villains and Brady is a villain to everyone who doesn’t live in Boston, Tampa Bay, or who understands the game as opposed to the casual viewer who jumps a bandwagon moving forward.by Ekern55 - RamsFootballFans.com
