us on the Chiefs game

Tough place for a first start.  I did like the energy and no quit from Perkins.  If I was King of the World, I’d decree that he should start the rest of our games.

Perkins lacks zip in his passes… picks were and are inevitable…..

Their red-zone defense played a very good….this game could’ve been a laugher….

Rams had 13 first downs… and 27 mins of possession…. it seemed a lot less.

Seattle is next…

Yeah, and if they have anything in Logan Bruss that would also be a bonus.

Some positives for me: Hoecht hustles. He’s a pretty good athlete for his size, though he needs to get a lot stronger to play well along the D-line. I saw him numerous times downfield, trying to make a play. No quit, and he’s good on ST too. Arcuri seemed to play well for his first start, though not perfect. The o-line was overmatched, of course, going against the first team KC defense. The Rams are essentially playing their exhibition season team, and they showed No Quit as well.

Perkins is obviously good as a runner. He needs some serious help, though, with his passing. Puts waaay too much air under his throws, and that’s a pic waiting to happen. He showed more zip in college, if memory serves, so I think he can throw the ball hard. But there may have been changes since then, so I’m not sure. It’s another positive that the team seems to like him and want to do well while he’s on the field.

I think the Rams need to try to trade Floyd in the offseason, but if they can’t, find the ideal time to let him go for cap savings and a comp pick. I’d like to see them keep Scott at safety, but I’m guessing they won’t. If they do move on, I think they should at least cross-train Kendrick for safety. He seems to be a willing tackler, and aggressive, but lacks the speed to play corner, IMO. Safety may be better for him. Which leads me to a more radical idea: Ramsey should play safety as well, but that would depend on the Rams upgrading their corner spots. Free agency is the most likely route there. If they can field two good corners, move Ramsey to safety. The flipside is obvious: major upgrades at safety would mean Ramsey stays put.

(They never should have let Johnson go)

Even with the loss, I’m glad I watched the game. That hasn’t changed for me since 1966.

yeah. it would be unfair to expect anything more. i mean this has to be their second string offense out there at this point right?

anyway. i expect guys to come back healthy next year. but that still doesn’t fix the oline problems.
