    Nice to see some middle in the passing game. Keenum certainly played better and made some nice throws. Tough sledding in the run game. No complaints from me however.

    Interesting Trent Green covered this game as this is who Keenum sort of reminds me of.

    He won’t beat a lot of defenses with his arm strength and probably needs to win before the snap, but, he has nice touch and can get into a nice rhythm.
    Will be interesting to see how he does on the road vs a red hot Seattle team next week.

    Gurley joining Bettis and Dickerson as rooking Ram RBs to hit 1,000 yards.
    I even enjoyed the yellow uniforms.

    Keenum does remind me a little bit of Green, though he’s a better athlete and has a little bit weaker arm.

    Was moving last week so Im gonna go ahead and smash these together …

    Couple things to note up front … I think Fisher and Snead aren’t going anywhere, I’ve been saying that a while, and when we play well I THINK it’s pretty clear the kind of talent they have put together over of the years. We still have a couple huge holes I think that could use some playmakers … and how we resign and manage this offseason is something Im looking forward to seeing … also … we’re not ruled out of the playoffs yet so I still have that in the back of my mind also.

    The Great

    1) Aaron Donald … I could probably put him up at the top every week but my expectations are high now so he gets up here when he’s really played lights out. 3 sacks on Detroit. 3 stuff and 3 bug hits in the FIRST HALF of the Detroit game. He single handedly took Jameis out of the game mentally … I have to say he’s simply the fastest football player for his size and maybe one the best players I’ve ever seen. He actually is physically as talented as Gurley, and that’s insane.

    2) Barron’s shift to WLB. I saw on the stat sheet they posted for Donald that Barron, when combining “stuffs AND sacks” is tenth in the NFL … that’s crazy because he only has 1.5 sacks. That’s 15 TFL, more than one a game. Wow. I’m betting we can sign him for something that makes sense and keep him and Tree and have the fastest OLBs in football.

    3) Trumaine … ugh it hurts to think of how many millions he makes each time he comes down with the ball or breaks up a play. But what a two game stretch for him too. Shutting down CJ and then coming back strong the following week. I think we can onl;y keep one of the two guys, and now the “who” I would keep may be even at 50/50 between the two. (I know many prefer him, but I see Jenks freak athleticism and hips and have been putting him above)
    Thoughts? Jenks at 11 million a year and Tru at 8 … who would you keep? Any guesses on how much they get?

    4) Gurley … not at all upset by his slow games. His goalline awareness is some crazy Quantum theory superpositioning stuff … he knows the exact spot on the field he can get the nose over the endzone from … he’s like the Chris Carter of RBs. I am so impressed with his ability and his focus.

    The Good

    5) Case played within himself, made the right reads, and didn’t make any major mistakes … I have NO idea what our QB situation is going forward, but IM glad I get to watch him the rest of the year vs. Foles.

    6) Mcleod is really solid. Watching him come up and play the face version of patty-cake with Doug Martin over and over was inspiring. I mean he’s giving up 30 pounds. Seriously. Contract #s? Ideas, thoughts? I’d love to keep him. Im finally all on board with that.

    7) Cook played his best game as a Ram IMO. He made contested catches and and ran through tackles … I have no idea what to do with him at the end of the year if he keeps this up.

    8) Britt is playing like he wants to keep his job. My bet is Quick walks and Britt stays to tutor and play his career out here as a slowly fading vet.

    9) Roberson is solid depth, pretty impressive find with him.

    10) Wichmann is the guy I want at OG next year rather than Saffold. He’s dependable with heavy hands and is developing better pass pro every game.

    11) G Rob still has some lunges, but for the most part I’m seeing real improvement … and the holding calls are gone now. He also had a really sick pancake on the Austin TD.

    12) Austin seems to have a home, 10 TDs is real.

    13) Boras called a solid, imaginative game … gotta wonder why Cignetti was promoted over him, but hey, Boras still has a few more games to not do well and I could change my mind.

    14) Backup line played pretty well …

    The Bad

    15) Barnes needs to be upgraded. I’m sick of seeing guys run all the way around him and through him. Garrett Reynolds too.

    16) Quick has not come back from the injury, that’s just a bummer.

    The Ugly

    17) ST penalties. the guys need to get it in their heads that Austin can get away from the guys they hold.

    18) Nick Foles’ contract going into next year.
