InvaderRamModeratorI wonder if that’s because the Rams are so “play action pass” dependent.
goff’s gotta be weaned off the play action at some point.
and now would be a good time to do it with the cardinals coming up.

InvaderRamModeratorthey should rest gurley. i don’t want the same thing happening to gurley what happened to kupp.
be smart.
InvaderRamModeratorsome of it is scheme i’m sure.
a lot of it is growing pains. i don’t have the time now, but if you look at qbs in the past, you’ll see some similar growing pains. and not just in terms of raw numbers but relative to other qbs during that time.
does this mean he will learn from this? not necessarily, but it also means i’m not yet in panic mode.
InvaderRamModeratorNot sure how much Anderson has left though.
he’s relatively young. has logged less than 400 career carries. he had meniscus surgery. that’s the only thing i could find.
might actually be an upgrade to brown.
InvaderRamModeratori like it. need him more than cooper.
need to bring the running game back.
InvaderRamModeratoryeah. no point in keeping him. i really thought he had a chance to be good in this league.
InvaderRamModeratorThey also need CBs. imo
are talib and peters back for one more year?
i feel like a fierce pass rush will alleviate at least some of the problems.

InvaderRamModeratorthey need to draft front seven. shore up the run defense and get a pass rush.
if they can get a free safety too.
InvaderRamModeratorbrees and saints offense struggling. difference is brees for the most part hasn’t made too many mistakes.
InvaderRamModeratori believe he’s done for the season.
which absolutely sucks.
InvaderRamModeratorActually I think the one with the problems at home is McVay. But that’s conjecture too.
speaking of conjecture, i think gurley’s been hurt.
and he’s been for awhile. would explain why he hasn’t been used as much lately.
InvaderRamModeratornot in panic mode yet.
goff had a poor game, but i’m not entirely surprised. i actually expected something of a setback before the season started. all a part of a young qb’s development.
i think mcvay is right when he says goff has to make better decisions. he was forcing things in the first half of the game. and then on top of that he made some wildly inaccurate throws.
he needs reps. this whole offense needs reps.
and what’s this talk of personal problems? is there something i’m missing or is this just conjecture?
anyway. this defense needs new personnel. it’s not a matter of reps. some players need to be replaced.
barron is done. they need edge rushers. i wonder if fowler is even an answer. ebukam invisible. they need to get donald some help.

InvaderRamModeratorThis team is making too many mistakes.
too many mental errors.
this team is collectively just out of it.
InvaderRamModeratorI don’t buy much of what Dickerson sells.
yeah. and he’s quite annoying.
InvaderRamModeratori don’t know if i buy that.
i do wonder with brown being hurt if he wanted to keep gurley fresh for the playoffs…
unlikely i realize.
InvaderRamModeratorBut Kupp is out for the year.
i forgot about kupp.
InvaderRamModeratori joke about it a lot but i really do think goff’s relatively small hands hurt him last night. if those fingers are a half inch longer, it makes a big difference i bet.
InvaderRamModeratorgoff looked bad. but lots of good qbs have had days like this.
just can’t figure out why mcvay chose to run the ball more unless he really did want to get goff reps in cold weather.
defense played about as well as they could given what they are. hopefully, they don’t have to play another cold weather game again this year or in the playoffs.
InvaderRamModeratoragain. great stuff.
InvaderRamModeratorWould be a good time to use Gurley heavy
that’s what i would expect.
that and the defense needs to step up.

InvaderRamModeratorjust to be contrarian one might argue that donald plays in an era where there is more passing than ever before so are those sack numbers inflated?
on the other hand he’s pretty damn good against the run too with all those tackles for losses.

InvaderRamModeratorWe’re running out of ways to praise this guy.
he’s alright.
InvaderRamModeratorHe said that directly in response to the 2 screens where Lions DL pulled up and played the screen. They were obviously coached to recognize those plays.
i seem to remember the falcons shutting down the screen game last year in the playoffs.
rams need to figure out a way to counter that.
InvaderRamModeratorok. so looked at the latest pff rankings. everett is now the 2nd highest rated tight end according to their metrics.
now i know their rankings can be fluky. still. depending on how he plays moving forward. i don’t see why they can’t use him more in 2 tight end sets or even in 3 wide receiver sets as either the lone tight end or even as an oversized wide receiver.
i’m just really hoping for the best for him.

InvaderRamModeratorI do not believe that the Chiefs had nothing to go on but what Hunt told them personally.
i don’t know whose version is correct.
but i figure two situations were in effect.
legally they had no right to obtain that video.
or they obtained the video by outside means but chose to ignore it.
either way they have plausible deniability. they can claim they couldn’t get the video or even if they did they get it they don’t actually have to fess up to that fact since there was no way of legally obtaining it.
but i find it hard to believe that they wouldn’t thoroughly do their due diligence on this incident.
i mean even if they were going to cover it up i figure they’d at least want to be prepared in the event that it did get released.
InvaderRamModeratori don’t know much about defensive line play but i gotta figure donald’s spike in sacks has to at least be partly due to suh’s presence.
InvaderRamModeratorNot legally they couldn’t.
no. not legally.
my guess is that it was a convenient excuse. they didn’t want to know.
InvaderRamModeratorThe claim was not that they did not know about it, it was that they could not obtain it.
true. but i don’t believe for a second that they could not obtain it.
InvaderRamModeratorI feel cautiously optimistic.
yeah.
InvaderRamModeratorFeel like he’s always open too…
He might be worth starting on my fantasy team…. thoughts?
i think he’s a sleeper candidate. especially with kupp out.
