InvaderRamModerator
how long is it going to take pharoh and nelson to be healthy???
why are you fucking with me, fisher!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
InvaderRamModeratorI want to see Cooper, Spruce, and Gaines today.
me too. and i want to see an improvement in the passing game.
InvaderRamModeratori’m from los angeles, but now i live in lompoc – about an hour north of santa barbara.
InvaderRamModeratorcarnitas. yes. pork cooked in its own juices.
i’m jealous. i will probably just have some chips and guacamole.
or if i get out i’ll have me some chicken tawouk.
You guys must get out more than I do. You eat all these strange foods. Besides, cheeseburger/fries and pizza, what is there? OK, breakfast and pie.
if you like burgers and pizza, i bet you’d like chicken tawouk. it’s marinated skewered chicken.

InvaderRamModeratorok. not quite but that was by far his biggest year of his career. rams will need an effort like that from todd.
InvaderRamModeratorshoot. was that steven jackson’s rookie year???
InvaderRamModeratordivision leading rams…
ha!
i’m having difficulty believing they’ll pull out a win tomorrow.
although i do agree with them that pulling out a win after traveling all the way across the country is impressive.
When was the last time we were 3 – 1?
haha. i don’t even know!
InvaderRamModeratorrams offense is going to have to make a huge improvement to win this game.
fisher has said that gurley is close to breaking out. wondering if they’re seeing something on film that leads them to believe that.
they also comment on gurley’s attitude post-game interviews. i think he’s just pissed. lindsey seems unimpressed by todd, but i think he’s just not pleased with his performance so far. if he can get loose, rams have a chance.

InvaderRamModeratori always liked him too. glad they signed him to an extension.
InvaderRamModeratorthen a few series later, Goff suddenly turned into Alan Alda from the movie Paper Lion, (at least he didn’t run into the goal post)
i think at that point a lot of regular players had been pulled. not sure. i think it was partially due to him. partially due to being out of sync with his teammates.
i think he’s pretty close, but fisher wants to get him as ready as possible before throwing him in.
besides keenum is doing just enough to get the rams by. so no pressure yet to rush him yet.
InvaderRamModeratori think fisher knows what he’s doing. he did a good job with mcnair. and i think fisher has a genuine like for goff unlike young who was forced on him.
as zn and others have pointed out he’s not only done this with qbs, he’s done this with guys like donald and quinn. and to a certain extent gurley although it could be argued that gurley sat out because he was recovering from the acl injury. and while those guys still played on a part time basis you can’t do that at qb.
this is his mo. if goff is who we think he is and who fisher thinks he is this won’t even matter in the long run.
that being said i hope he’s starting next week.
edit. i included quinn, but fisher did not coach quinn his rookie year. oops.

InvaderRamModeratorDonald may now be the best defensive player in the NFL.
Reading that makes this Rams fan proud.
.
yes. yes yes yes! proud for sure. rams can’t let this go to waste. they need to put the pieces around him and quinn (hopefully he can stay healthy for many years) and build a complete defense. a great defense.
InvaderRamModeratorlosing tavon hurts. unless one of the rookie receivers can step up.
wondering if the oline can work out some kinks before this sunday.
September 28, 2016 at 8:49 pm in reply to: A break down of the last TBay possesion. sort of ;) #54061InvaderRamModeratorbad game management by tampa bay. they should have been able to squeeze out a couple more plays.
InvaderRamModeratorwhat kind of running game do they have this year? i remember there was all that talk about a zbs last year. what do they use this year?
InvaderRamModeratorwhat i wouldn’t give to see a truly great rams defense in my lifetime. that would be something else. i liked the gsot and all. but i want to see an all-time rams defense.
shore up the secondary. be consistent. and stay healthy. that would do it.
InvaderRamModeratorquinn and donald are certainly special. they’re young, so lots of football left to play.
but since i’ve been watching (since 1995) i haven’t seen anything like that duo.
carter and little were great defensive ends. i think both for a short time showed the explosiveness and playmaking ability that quinn has. and that for me is where quinn needs to separate himself. he needs the longevity. so far this season i’m encouraged that he can get himself back to the level that we saw a couple years ago. i think he needs to do it for 4 more seasons at least to separate himself from those two.
aaron donald. i’ve never seen anything like him on the rams at the defensive tackle position. beyond special i think he has the ability to be transcendent. on top of unreal athletic ability just absolutely relentless. forget about that. i don’t think i’ve seen a rams player as relentless as him on the defensive side of the ball. bar maybe london fletcher.
the two of them together could be unreal. comparing them to merlin and deacon? personally i can’t say cuz i never really watched those two outside nfl films clips. but at this point those two are almost mythic to me. so it’s hard for me to compare these quinn and donald to 2 seemingly deified football players.
InvaderRamModeratorTop defensive grades:
DT Aaron Donald, 84.4
LB Alec Ogletree, 84.3
S T.J. McDonald, 81.7
DT Michael Brockers, 76.5
DE Robert Quinn, 73.3
Well, I guess we can conclude that the Ogletree to MLB experiment is a huge success.
The run defense hasn’t suffered with Tree at MLB (it may even be better) and he covers a lot more ground than Lauranitis did in pass defense.
That was one calculated risk that paid off nicely, anyway.
yeah. alec is another of my favorites. was having a huge year last year until the injury. good to see him pick up where he left off. at a new position even. and with all the leadership and responsibilities that go with that.
i want to see more consistency though from this defense. too much talent and too many mental lapses for my taste. but the secondary being in such shambles may have something to do with that.
InvaderRamModeratorjust want to give special attention to a personal favorite of mine. greg robinson. i think he’s been real solid so far.
InvaderRamModeratorTo me, it seems pretty obvious and is shaping up pretty clearly—this next draft will be mostly about receivers and the secondary. For one thing, Tru has not signed an extension. He’s on a one year “tag” contract.
They actually are better in the front 7.
But the secondary forces them to play “keep them in front of us.”
So look for CBs.
Much more than safeties. I think the safeties plus Joyner in the slot are fine. It’s the outside, the CBs.
..
well you know i still want to see what they have in cooper and spruce.
but yeah. i expect corner to be dealt with in the draft. they’re holding this defense back.
InvaderRamModeratorTrumaine Johnson has been a disappointment so far. I don’t know what all the statistics say, but to my eyes he just isn’t as good as last year, and I would hazard that is because he doesn’t have Jenkins on the other side. I hope Gaines can come back and put a lid on somebody.
And I want more sacks. Where are my sacks?
yeah. probably jenkins leaving and maybe not having mcleod to help him out? i don’t know, but he hasn’t looked as good as least year.
and gaines’ injury is frustrating me.
InvaderRamModeratoryeah. cardinals looking a little vulnerable? rams just beat a team they should beat. now they go against a divisional foe who’ve given them problems.
i’m excited.
InvaderRamModeratoralso. keenum started out slow, but he really showed up from the end of the second quarter on. this guy’s tough.
InvaderRamModeratori don’t even know what to say. i’m stunned. if someone told me the bucs had scored 32 points, i would have been disappointed. except for the fact that the rams scored 37 points!
still want to see more. but i’m happy for this week. and that’s good enough for now.
InvaderRamModeratori’m sure this had been posted before but i’ll post it again.
this is from early last year. not sure how goff’s season went after this article.

InvaderRamModeratorYou can feel the anxiety around this game, out there on the net.
yeah. i’ll admit i’m somewhat anxious.
not a must win game obviously. but one that i think will say a lot about where the rams are. beatable opponent but long travel miles. still rams should win this game. no excuses.
InvaderRamModeratorwell. the rams defense had mcleod and jenkins last year for that game and now this weekend they have ogletree and quinn. plus no doug martin to have to defend.
i think it’s fair to say this will be the defense’s biggest test so far this season.
InvaderRamModeratorThey’d still win with Edelman.
They could bring Bledsoe out of retirement. Get a win.
I could start. Still a win.
it’ll be interesting to see how much success they can sustain with all these qb injury/suspensions.
regardless, brady should be back game 5. so really they just need to hold out for 2 more games.
grrr…
