from Rams Q&A: Vinny Bonsignore
Kupp will be out at least 3 weeks?
I suspect it’ll be along those lines. Not three more weeks, but possibly two more for a total of three. He dinged it pretty good. And there is zero need to rush him back. They have to think about the big picture
Best bet is that Cooper takes all the time he needs. They were fortunate to land Nick Williams, who plays the same position and has value.
Rams believe that with the combination of Sean McVay scheming a game plan and the surrounding talent at hand, they would be competitive with Mannion. But obviously, that remains to be seen.
Rams were 35 runs, 24 pass attempts on Sunday. Part of that was due to the nature of the game – big lead, running clock – but also what the 49ers were doing defensively. I think the difference with the Packers is, if Aaron Rodgers in on his game, it’s almost inevitable they’ll score points and, as a result, the Rams might have to throw more to keep pace. Ideally, they want to be balanced. But if they run 35 times again, that’s a really good sign the game is in their favor
The defensive line was dominant, but so were the LB’s. Good to see Samson more involved. Tough to say on Talib [coming back] although I haven’t heard anything about any setbacks or that he got off track. It’s really all about where he is the week of the Detroit game.
Joyner’s doing what they’re asking and playing the deep part of the field. They like what he’s doing. Does that mean he comes back long term? Tough to say. Might be a candidate for a second franchise tag
Very interested in how the Rams control Rodgers. He’s a little bit like Russell Wilson in that both extend plays with their legs. Unfortunately for Aaron, he doesn’t look 100 percent healthy with the knee and that affects his mobility. That will be a problem against the Rams. I think Goff has a really big game.
Seattle?
I really like what Pete’s doing up there. I think they make a Wild Card run. I had someone from Rams tell me: The Legion of Doom started out, for the most part, as no-names. Kind of the same thing happening now.
Yes they will play an International game next year. And I believe because they got a Super Bowl they have to play another one at some point too.
