That last time out call was dumb. Giants have no time outs, it’s 3rd and 12 with 37 seconds or so and counting: force them to organize their own chaos, don’t help them.by Ekern55 - RamsFootballFans.com
:flush For sure!!by Ekern55 - RamsFootballFans.com
And we were all screaming to stop with the bend / don’t / break defense. It’s hard to cover 5,300 yards of field with 11 guys.by Ekern55 - RamsFootballFans.com
What happened?by Ekern55 - RamsFootballFans.com
Maybe a Frank Corrall redux to attempt to save the kicking game?by Ekern55 - Game Time Forum
LOL!! I’d love it just to set an unbreakable record but also to watch the draft coverage say, Rams are picking and Rams are on the clock 15 times.by Ekern55 - RamsFootballFans.com
Right. All I’m saying is one flag was thrown. You can throw two and give the defense the option of declining one and taking the other. But no second flag was thrown for illegal formation, just for the not reporting.by Ekern55 - RamsFootballFans.com
That would be an issue if that’s the call, but the penalty called was for not reporting. Video shows both Skinner and Decker reported.by Ekern55 - RamsFootballFans.com
The elf looking guy was bailing out the Cowboys all night. Watched the NFL channel and both Decker and Skipper reported to Elf McFixer. The NFL has go to cut the cord with the gambling interests.by Ekern55 - RamsFootballFans.com
Glad you’re back and healthy, Rams brother!!by Ekern55 - RamsFootballFans.com
Definitely. Shanahan has take Rams’ week way more seriously than the Rams have.by Ekern55 - RamsFootballFans.com
Yeah, Morris has grown on me. I hope he doesn’t get an HC job actually.by Ekern55 - RamsFootballFans.com
Holani was impressive. Runs a little like Kyren. I like Carson Steele, but he didn’t play. I wonder what his 40 time is? If Steele can fly out to the corner, he could provide a lot of value.by Ekern55 - RamsFootballFans.com
Let’s pray we get a Lombardi for a belated Christmas gift from Stan and company!!!by Ekern55 - RamsFootballFans.com
Great point about the Lions. Not to look past the Saints and Giants, but the Rams need to beat the Niners for multiple reasons. Top of which is getting into the playoffs as a team that controls its playoff spot.by Ekern55 - RamsFootballFans.com
He forced two 1st and goals at the 1 and the defense stuffed the Commanders 7 or 8 times. You could tell the Bienemy was calling plays for Brisette to pick on Kendricks. He’s been the weak link of this defense all season and I fear it’ll cause the Rams’ more problems as this season winds down.by Ekern55 - RamsFootballFans.com
So true. I love Hoecht and (don’t dump on me) I like watching him do his thing in coverage.by Ekern55 - RamsFootballFans.com
I used to hate the state of Texas but got to know a lot of Texans through work over the years. Pretty decent people. But Niners fans are so presumptuous that every season they are the greatest NFL team in history and your (fill in the blank of your team here___) team sucks and due to that, you can’t even fathom what the game of football really is.by Ekern55 - RamsFootballFans.com
For the position to be effective, a running back has to have a level of fearlessness. KW is better than Gurley was between the tackles. And I’m not discounting what you’re saying about vision, but when you’re running through the thick of the line of scrimmage, you have to have fearlessness to even keep your eyes open. I think a lot of these guys close their when they go through the line.by Ekern55 - RamsFootballFans.com
Life’s too short and I don’t care to count how many times I’ve said ‘There’s always next year.’ Sneak into the playoffs and try to catch lightning in a bottle. Getting the Lombardi is why we watch.by Ekern55 - RamsFootballFans.com
Happy Thanksgiving, Ram Fam!! I hope you all have a hardy day of food, family, friends and football !!by Ekern55 - RamsFootballFans.com
Patterns? Yes. Stafford locks onto a (by his book) 1A receiver and makes the opposing defense’s job really easy.by Ekern55 - RamsFootballFans.com
Spoken like a boss, RR. Most of these QBs coming out of college are so closely rated when it comes to talent. I do see Caleb Williams as a large tier higher than the field but I wouldn’t take him because he seems soft mentality-wise. But since QBs are so near to being even, I think you need three things in them: athleticism (get out of their own way), arm strength/skill, and intelligence.by Ekern55 - RamsFootballFans.com
It takes discipline as a coach not to run into Frisco’s trap as is being mentioned in this thread by Goat and Gator: don’t drop back into crazy suicide mode and invite their pass rush to clobber you. If you can’t move the ball against the Niners, it’s best to play field position until you get or force a break.by Ekern55 - RamsFootballFans.com
Jimmy Johnson made famous the draft maxim: don’t draft stupid football players. How about the coaches not being stupid, you know?by Ekern55 - RamsFootballFans.com
The last three losses were the road map. All Pederson had to do is play ball control for the first quarter and come out even or get up a score. Shanahan then loses his game plan, because he has one strategy: Get in the first punch to stun the opponent then keep bringing the pressure. But Pederson went three and out. His punter biffed the punt and his D-coordinator went Morris soft shell toby Ekern55 - RamsFootballFans.com
Glad you found us, I-Ram!! Looking forward to your insights.by Ekern55 - RamsFootballFans.com
Assuming he’s grown up, I like that they don’t have to expend draft capital on a 1st round QB. I don’t think Edge is very deep in this draft, so maybe they’ll get their LOT of the future.by Ekern55 - RamsFootballFans.com
