    .@RamsNFL early returns on the Big name acquisitions by the @RamsNFL are positive as they are the #1 defense in the @NFL through 3 weeks. Only a 3 game sample but very promising upgrades. #BaldyBreakdowns

    Peters. I don’t agree with the idea of “well, if he can play let him play.” This team is in a unique situation to already be considering implications for December and January. They have to play the long game. If Peters is already “day to day” then he likely has a good chance to play in week 5- and beyond. And their approach with him and decision becomes exponentially more important with Talib out.

    You can survive without two starting CBs for a game when you have Shields, NRC and an elite DL and you’re playing at home on a short week. You cannot win without two starting CBs for 8-10 weeks… They should absolutely err on the side of caution with Peters here. In the longer run they need him to face #1 WRs when they go up against Rodgers, Brees, KC, etc. Give the guy- who couldn’t put weight on his leg 3 days ago- a little time here to get right…

    #Rams Sam Shields on potntially starting for 1st time since ’16/while dealing/w concussions most of last 2 years. “Something to show. A lot of people still want to know, is he alright? Things like that. For me it’s kind of to show people that I still got it. I can still do it.”

    Rams Aaron Donald: “Any time you lose playmakers and big-time players that are part of your defense that’s going to hurt you. But we’ve got guys that are going to step up and fill those shoes and be out there and productive.”

    More from #Rams Donald, if he feels any added pressure to get to the QB to help the secondary: “We need to quarterback a lot more and get him down. We’ve been getting there, but (they’ve) been getting ball out. It’s frustrating but it’s gonna come. We just have to keep working.”

    I believe that this is what I believe.

    Fuck it. The worst that can happen is the Rams lose this game, and Peters would have made the difference. That’s the worst thing that can happen if he sits.

    But if there is ANY risk of aggravating that injury, just…no. It is already clear that the other 3 teams in the West pose no threat. The Rams can afford to lose this game. And Shields and Hill, while not Talib and Peters, would still be a serviceable set of corners. Blitz more, and threaten to blitz more, and take your chances. The West is already won.

    It is time to think about getting healthy for the playoffs. And, yes, this may be the earliest anyone has ever uttered that sentence.

    Talib on I/R requires him to miss 8 games, per newly-worded NFL rules. Joins Cooper & Thomas on #LARams I/R. So, one of those players likely will not play again this season, as only two can be designated to return. Next chance to see Talib would be Wk 13 at DET, following bye.

    Barron again listed as doubtful for Thursday for #LARams. Although, Barron was listed as a limited participant in Wednesday’s session.

    “I might have went to the ground a little bit to sell it.” –
    Ben Roethlisberger

    I cannot think of anything a QB could say out loud to the media that would be stupider than that.
