Bailey. Yeah, nice.

From what I’ve seen the defense has some work to do, especially in the running game, eh? Clearly they will be putting a ton of pressure on QB’s. The response will be quick passes.

EJ Gaines looked no different than at Mizzou. Physical, great tackler. Occasional mistakes and up and down in coverage. I think he’ll be a decent pro player.

I thought Gaines did well ,when he made a mistake he would come back the next play having learned from it.The run D will be greatly improved when the starters actually play. We’ll definitely see the short passing game but the way Donald was penetrating last night,put Brockers or Langford next to him and JL,Jenks,Tru and Joyner behind him and the short game is no walk in the park.

I think that was the dark, hysterical, gossipy version.

You know the type. Like I say “Breakfast at Joe’s Diner wasn’t as good today for some reason.” And the guy I am talking to then writes a letter to the editor about how “the collapse of Joe’s diner leaves a gaping hole in the town’s restaurant industry, and forces us to ask, who or what CAN we trust?”

Like this.

Middle linebacker James Laurinaitis has evolved into a savvy vet, but there’s little evidence that he can carry a unit Ray Lewis-style. It’s disconcerting that, even with a domineering front four, the Rams last season were gouged repeatedly on the ground, especially by zone rushing attacks.

Not that he watched any games and diagnosed JL as an issue. He just jumps to bad inferences from misread stats. Fact is, after the first few games, the Rams run D improved to the point where it was game by game one of the best in the league. Someone who knew the team would know that.

I agree,this guy knows nothing about the Rams or 9ers and hawks who have experienced heavy losses particularly on defense while the Rams have gained

Oh yeah! He looked unstoppable at times and what he was able to do last year as a rookie with a rookie qb and all the veteran wr’s banged up was impressive as well. When Watkins gets going(after last night I’m convinced that will take longer than most thought it would) the Bills will have a good passing attack.

Mac, I was suffering with frequent headaches and I read something about “oil pulling” (swishing oil, coconut oil being the best , in your mouth for about 20mins ) Believe it or not it helped. Your situation is much more severe but might be worth a try.

Maybe Givens feels he’s been pushed out of the starting line up with the Rams going run oriented . Just a thought but most the reports I’ve read have him working with the 2’s and 3’s not getting a lot of 1st team reps.

These guys are alright sometimes but “Jo Lonn Dumbar is a moron” and related statements make it hard to take them seriously .

I wish one of these guys would mention the huge roster losses to every other team in the NFC West. Bradford has shown more bad than good in his career ? Has he ever even seen Sam play? I remember one game where Bradford looked bad (Thurs. against the 9ers) But more bad than good ? Was the ROY a pity prize?

So you’re saying it’s my fault.

Well…maybe it is.

But then, which one of you was the one who MADE ME misread?

Hmm?

(Kidding. Sry ER I just brain glitched is all.)

I’m kinda disappointed I didn’t come up with that joke , I like it.

On the secondary I have confidence they can and will with GW give our ferocious DL that extra second they need, they will wreak havoc! just about every defensive draft pick known for their ability to blitz. My questions are will Long get back to pro bowl level after surgery . Will the OL be elite? When you watch some of that old footage Bradford is a great play action QB. Our OL fulfills it’s promise with Quick and Britt’s physical blocking on the outside these guys could well
be unstoppable.

I think that was either just one season? or 2 seasons? or not really all of them.

Yeah that was 2011. On Kendricks and Pettis … in their defense, I bet they make a couple of those in later years. But 2011 is hard to watch.

Yeah it was 2011. I posted as an argument against the writer claiming Bradford can’t throw deep some of those throws are incredible.Also for me it makes a pretty good case for Gibson being better than most thought he was.

I don’t think the Rams are looking up at everyone else in the division because all three teams, 9ers,Cards and Hags took major losses in
free agency, suspension and retirement. In Seattle’s case 3 from their DL alone including run killer Red Adams. Take any DL you want and subtract any three players and
they are a different team.

I agree.

First my link didn’t connect to anywhere, then it sent me to ROD.
I even posted a post there with the title, “I’m a board orphan!”

Just up and left me hanging… Noyce.

Did you get my pm on ROD?

I’m thinking the Rams have it much easier than anyone expects .12 wins deep in the playoffs. We just got too many unstopables . I see a lot of 14-0 halftime
leads teams pressing and you know it’s time for picks and sacks just like the good old days
