canadaramParticipantHigbee keeps getting a fair share of targets as well.
canadaramParticipantsomeone correct me if i’m wrong, but it seems like woods is becoming goff’s favorite target which would make sense. he’s a smart savvy veteran wr.
Yes, I agree with that. Woods is currently my favourite Ram. Compared to some other NFL WRs he’s not the most athletically gifted guy, but he’s tough as nails and reliable.
canadaramParticipantSpecial teams; how many times can you count on your special teams to put up the points needed to win? Super happy that the Rams are 4-2 instead of 3-3, even if that felt like a Fisher era win. Hopefully the Rams passing game can get back on track soon.
canadaramParticipantWinning on the road is tough. This is the beginning of a crazy long road trip for the Rams. I see another low point output from the the offense. If they’re going to beat the Jaguars the Rams will need some big plays from the defense and/or special teams.
I guess I should have said multiple big plays from the ST will be needed.

canadaramParticipantComing into this season my Rams spirit had taken such a beating that my only wish was for this year was to be encouraged about this team’s future. The Rams offense looked ugly yesterday. Between the offense and Tavon’s fair catch fumble the Rams turned the ball over 5 times, but they still almost won, they probably should’ve won. In year’s past yesterday’s mistakes would result in a 21 point loss. Through 5 weeks the Rams have had a chance to win every game in the 4th quarter. I realize that the winless Niners have been in every game too, but the Sean McVay era has me hopeful. I was disappointed yesterday, but I’m feeling less so today. I don’t think that the Rams are a playoff team this year, but it seems like they could be soon.
canadaramParticipantDespite the Rams good start to 2017, I still think that Seattle is the more talented of these two teams. So I expect the Seahawks to win this game. Goff and the Rams receiving corps has not faced a secondary like this yet this season. If Goff throws for more than 200 yards I’ll be surprised. Similarly, I think it will be tough sledding for Gurley on the ground.
The Rams best hope is for Seattle’s offense to lay an egg. I’m not holding my breath though. I expect Wilson to inflict some damage with his legs and I expect Baldwin and Graham to give the Rams D problems as well.
I expected the Cowboys to win big last week so take it all with a grain of salt.
canadaramParticipantI saw him in Toronto this past July. It was the first time I’d seen him live. I was struck by how much energy he had. Not the same kind of kinetic energy that I’ve seen from Springsteen in concert, but a real palpable energy nevertheless. Petty blew the proverbial roof off of the dump. Before seeing him live I never considered myself a hardcore fan, but I felt that way after the concert. I knew all but one of the songs he played. The only song I didn’t recognize was from his most recent album. Afterwards I realized that there were a ton of songs that he didn’t play that I also know well and love. Such an extensive catalogue of songs. He was a poet. I’m grateful that my better-half made me go to that concert.
canadaramParticipantI find the use of Tavon as a back up RB to spell Gurley interesting. I know he was used there occasionally under Fisher, but it appears that it will be a more regular feature this season. He had some good drive extending runs today.
canadaramParticipantJust saw Wade Philips do the breakdown in the locker room post game. Gotta be the funniest post game locker room video I’ve seen.
Anyway, what an incredible win. Damn if this team isn’t getting me to start believing. That first half was just what I expected. That second half was nothing like I expected.
canadaramParticipantI see Dallas as the more talented team. And where the Rams do have talented players, Donald for example, the Cowboys are seemingly strong enough to counter. Their interior o-line is still a force despite Elliot’s tough game two weeks ago. I would expect Havenstein to struggle with Demarcus Lawrence. So far I’ve seen nothing from the Rams defense that suggests that they can contain Elliot so once that running game gets going I expect Dez Bryant and Witten to cause some problems as well.
The Rams will have to score a lot of points if they are to pull out this win. At least the Cowboys are coming off of a short week.
canadaramParticipantI have a soft spot for Keenum so I mostly wat he’s the Vikings game. He was excellent today. Diggs is amazing. If Bradford can stay healthy the Vikings are looking like one of the teams to beat in the NFC.
I caught the end of the Lions/Falcons game. Robinson looked serviceable on the final drive down the Falcons inch line. Stafford looks unstoppable at times.
Lions
Vikings
FalconsThose are my teams to beat in the NFC. Go call your bookies.
canadaramParticipantEven in the face of arguments that cite a lower level of competition, so far Goff has exceeded any of my expectations. I’m pretty conservative when I dream though.
canadaramParticipantSpecial teams were a disaster. I really wish Cooper would just stay in the endzone more.
free range
*Free rein*
I think that I was confusing him with a chicken.
canadaramParticipantSpecial teams were a disaster. I really wish Cooper would just stay in the endzone more.
Yes!
He seems to have free range to take the ball out anytime he wants. Unless he’s on the brink of turning into Devin Hester, I’d prefer that he always stay in the endzone and just take the 25 yard line. On that fumble he really was holding that ball out there right up until he was holding it no more.
canadaramParticipantJesus H. Fuck. That’s all I can muster right now.
canadaramParticipantYour a Hater. LOL
I can’t seem to shake 14 consecutive years worth of I’ve-got-a-bad-feeling-about- this-game-itis.
canadaramParticipantNiners gain all the momentum early after a strip/sack on Goff and never look back. Hyde goes for 147 yards and 2 tds.
Niners 24
Rams 13canadaramParticipantWill the uniforms be blurry around the edges on game day?
canadaramParticipantI expect a young team with a young coach and a young QB to struggle on the road during a short week. I expect Hyde to have a big day for the Niners.
canadaramParticipantThat was some sloppy run defense. As bad a game that I can remember Ogletree playing.
canadaramParticipantRyan Kerrigan will give Havenstein fits and as a result Goff will have trouble setting up in the pocket. The Rams runnng game continues to fizzle. Washington’s offense gets rolling.
Washington 31
Rams 10canadaramParticipantI was wondering what he was pointing at. I just thought he wanted the officials to throw a flag on the sun.
canadaramParticipantColts – 24
Rams – 13canadaramParticipantI’d be excited if I thought that the Rams were one good WR away from being competitive, but I don’t feel that they’re that close. Add in the fact hat Watkins has had problems staying healthy and that he’s a FA next season I’d rather have the 2nd round pick. Hopefully the Rams find a way to keep him or at least get a good comp pick in return. However, there is no denying that the Rams need help at WR. I’m hoping for the best. It’d be nice if the o-line can get it together.
canadaramParticipantClearly they’re not entering training camp with only two QBs whose starting experience totals single digits. That’s gotta be addressed at some point, no?
canadaramParticipantThere are many many books about Russia and Putin and I’ve hardly read them all but three I do recommend are:
“Red Notice” by Bill Browder.
This really explains a lot about the oligarchs and how they are the real power structure in Russia today.I read ‘Red Notice’ this winter. What a gripping book. It is a chilling anecdotal account of how Putin’s Russia operates.
canadaramParticipantGiven game day roster limits, Sullivan’s backup should also be able play guard if needed. Blythe played guard for Indianapolis, but not very well from what I’ve read. Not sure who else currently on the roster is going to be able to fill that role.
canadaramParticipantYes, I like them fine. Better than the gold horns anyway. My problem is that I can’t separate the whole package. I don’t like the current jerseys and as a result this prevents me from enjoying the white horns to the fullest.
canadaramParticipantOurlads on Toth
FWIW, they had him as their 3rd ranked C.
Four-year starter from Indianapolis, IN. Left-handed snapper in a zone blocking spread offensive scheme. Demonstrates the ability to move his feet and keep a good base in both pass protection and as a run blocker. Has a solid combination of foot quickness and ease of movement. Gets good hand placement inside the frame. Good zone run blocker when on the move. Gains a quick position and runs his feet on contact. Occupies his assignment. Locks on and pushes defender past the hole. Plays on his feet. Rarely on the ground. Picks up blitzing linebackers and pushes them up the field. Uses his eyes as a searchlight to see stunts. Taller than ideal for a center but may get away with it because he can bend. Quick enough to cut linebackers on the second level. Works to finish his blocks, especially against any type of penetration. A solid backup type who will need more strength. Senior Bowl notes: An alert center who keeps his head on a swivel. Takes good angles to the second level. Good use of hands. Mirror and slide in pass pro. Need to work on his anchor versus a bull rush.
OSR: 35/42. Fourth/fifth round. (A-33 1/8, H-10, BP-21, 10-1.87). -
