InvaderRamModerator
my bad. apparently it’s 55. i think that would be helpful though still.
InvaderRamModeratorremember the last preseason game when they were interviewing snead and the possibility of expanding the rosters to 75?
i remember snead saying it was a real possibility of that happening. i wonder how close the league is to doing that.
InvaderRamModeratorif i could have him take some sort of truth serum, i’d ask him the exact moment he knew he was moving the rams.
personally i suspect it was right before he exercised his right of first refusal to purchase the rams.
InvaderRamModeratori’ve said this before. i’ll say it again. coming out of college, i see more potential in goff than i did in sam. and sam’s turned out to be a pretty good qb!
not only that, i think goff’s supporting cast has more potential than the supporting cast sam took on as a rookie. especially if cooper and spruce are as good as i think they are.
i think he start against buffalo week 5.

ya got me there. haha!
September 21, 2016 at 7:07 pm in reply to: The Los Angeles Rams fan experience doesn't seem to be too great #53531InvaderRamModeratorEven when the Rams were really good in St.Louis and the Ed was packed full you didn’t see the crap you routinely see on both coasts. And heat exhaustion in 75 degrees temperature not happening.
Heat exhaustion… let me just say that 95 degree dry California heat is no match for 80 degree heat with 91% STL humidity……. I know, I know…. it doesn’t apply to the climate control EJ dome that spawned the great staph infection of 2005 RIP Jack Snow….
No you do not understand the heat index. If you live on the coasts where it is much milder you don’t have the need. I’ve always lived in the midwest and south. Depending upon the work outdoors the heat index is closely followed. At 80 degrees and 91% humidity the heat index is 86 degrees. Your so called dry heat of 95 degrees is still much more than 86 degrees.
http://www.csgnetwork.com/heatindexcalcs.htmllet me just say that st louis summers are way more unbearable compared to los angeles summers.
that being said the rams should be more prepared in the future.
InvaderRamModeratori like him. a lot of people were down on him especially after that hard knocks episode, but everything i read about him prior to that had nothing but glowing things to say about his character and attitude.
InvaderRamModeratori like this guy. he plays with an energy that most of our wrs don’t…
and he can actually catch the ball.
September 20, 2016 at 8:08 pm in reply to: The Los Angeles Rams fan experience doesn't seem to be too great #53457InvaderRamModeratori think i’m gonna go to the miami game.
can’t wait. i think the coliseum is a classic.
InvaderRamModeratorTo turn that around this team needs to beat a team like Tampa Bay this week. If they can’t, I’m not so sure they will turn things around this year. I’ll be getting a deja vu vibe. And I’d like to change that.
I don’t want to feel like Bill Murray:
————-
Well, so far the Tampa Defense has allowed this:“…Keenum should have a chance to thrive this week against Tampa Bay’s defense. In the first week, Atlanta’s Matt Ryan passed for 334 yards and two touchdowns. On Sunday, Arizona’s Carson Palmer passed for 308 yards and three touchdowns. Neither quarterback threw an interception.”
Seems like even Bill Murray could pass on this defense.

you’d think keenum would have a good game after an efficient performance against that seattle d.
i think he will. just don’t know how the secondary copes with those 2 humongous receivers.
rams d had jj and mcleod last time they faced this team.

InvaderRamModeratori’m willing to gamble the rams score a td this weekend. i’m even willing to gamble the rams score 2 tds. they might still lose though. my guess is the secondary gets exposed big time.
September 20, 2016 at 12:41 am in reply to: "if Fisher had his way Goff wouldn't play in 2016"… & other Fisher/Goff rumors #53388InvaderRamModeratorwell in the larger sense he hasn’t hurt them. cuz they have 3 fgs in 2 games.
now i also realize this is only 2 games so far. and against at least one very good defense in seattle. and with not the strongest wr corps.
so we’ll have to keep watching and see how things unfold. case had a very efficient game against what is probably a top 5 defense. he did catch the defense a couple times deep. and if not for at least one miscue could have even hado a td.
but again. i am just speculating, but if defenses figure they can contain the running game and mid range passing game while giving up an occasional deep pass i’m not sure what that says. and again. that may not even be all case’s fault.
September 19, 2016 at 11:36 pm in reply to: "if Fisher had his way Goff wouldn't play in 2016"… & other Fisher/Goff rumors #53385InvaderRamModeratori’ve seen the highlights. i’ve also read articles saying that defenses are daring him to throw.
what that tells me is defenses are willing to give that up if it means they can contain the running game. cuz they figure keenum can’t hurt them.
and so far the rams offense is being contained.
now there could be many reasons for this. one being the receivers. another being pass protection. and another being keenum.
i don’t see the problem in saying that. if defenses are daring him to throw it and he’s doing minimal damage then the defense is doing its job.
again. there could be many reasons for that but one significant reason i’m guessing is keenum.
and i like keenum. he’s a battle, but saying he’s limited. there’s nothing wrong with that.

InvaderRamModeratorwentz looks decent today. not spectacular but decent.
i think we see goff at some point this season when he’s ready. just wondering how long it takes to get there.
September 19, 2016 at 10:51 pm in reply to: "if Fisher had his way Goff wouldn't play in 2016"… & other Fisher/Goff rumors #53379InvaderRamModeratorI just saw this, basically. Good response and thank you for the compliment.
I just saw your post at ROD where you compare the long passes by Keenum in 2013 to Rodgers.
Where does this Keenum can’t/doesn’t throw long stuff come from?
He does it right in front of every Rams fan who watches games, but then 6 seconds later some forget it happened.
yeah but i suspect those passes are only possible because defenses do not respect him at all.
the rams ultimately need a qb who defenses actually have to respect.
of course i could be completely wrong and have not enough knowledge of football to back this up with actual evidence… haha!
InvaderRamModeratorAnother London game? London Rams some day?
some day it’ll be the shanghai rams. kroenke will pimp them out to any city that will have them.
No, he won’t. Not as long as he has a mortgage to pay on a stadium in Los Angeles.
oh. i’m not saying they’re going to move there, but they will very possibly be playing a home game there in 2018.

InvaderRamModeratori want to see the rams d shut this tb offense down.
gurley needs to have a great game. i think he can. i think he’s pissed and embarrassed by how this offense has performed. and he should be pissed. he should let the offense know that they’re not good enough. this team needs to be motivated and challenged or they will always be 7-9.
but the offense still is mediocre. unless spruce and cooper are the answer, they’re going to struggle scoring points. need another effort from defense and special teams like last week on the road to win.
in hekker we trust.

InvaderRamModeratori always wanted norv turner to coordinate the rams offense.
InvaderRamModeratorbecause it’s being played in london. it’ll be 2:30 pm there i believe.
InvaderRamModeratorif two of those field goals were touchdowns, that would have been a great game.
not interested in high scoring games as much as i am the point differential.
if the rams can beat their opponents by 2 touchdowns, i’ll be more than happy. ha!
InvaderRamModeratori think it’ll get better in the coming weeks. seattle was the number one rush defense in the league last year. so he’ll go up against softer competition going forward. not too worried yet.
September 18, 2016 at 10:53 pm in reply to: Fisher, Gurley & almost every other Ram…9/18… vids & transcripts #53288InvaderRamModeratorI watched the Gurley interview. He just does NOT look like a happy camper right now. I get it–he’s not hitting it out of the park–but that kid looks really frustrated. I hope he has a good game next week.
that’s good. my guess is a pissed off gurley is better than a happy go lucky gurley.
InvaderRamModeratori missed it, but i can see it happening in my head. same ole cook.
sam is more than just learning a new offense. he seems like he’s known it for years.
InvaderRamModeratorYeah, but 7-9 will feel so much better in southern Cal.
Because of the low humidity.
That’s what I was thinking, too. The low humidity.
I’ve only been to LA once in my life. Spent a week there, in January, for a music convention. Most of the women looked a lot like that. People had fruit trees growing in there backyards. In January! One guy had dozens of lime trees. And they were all ripe. He gave us a few, and we put’em in our gin.
All of the people were blonde and gorgeous. They all looked like they were related. It bothered me, but I couldn’t stop staring at them.
I left quietly.
And yes, if ya gotta go 7-9, LA is the place to do it. 7-9 in LA is like 14-2 in a regular city.
Those girls need some cheeseburgers.
gotta agree with you there. those girls need some meat on their bones.
InvaderRamModeratorMy hope is that Spruce can be a Welker/Amendola type chain mover. We don’t need a great O, just an average O. Right now, we’re at the bottom of the league in offensive stats. Again.
yeah. keenum played well enough i think but need a couple more elements in the receiver corps.
i continue to wait for the arrival of spruce.
InvaderRamModeratoroffense still not good enough but great effort by defense. not surprised at all.
September 18, 2016 at 11:42 am in reply to: Informal poll… will the Rams rebound against Seattle? #53215InvaderRamModeratorwell at least the rams know what they’re going up against right?
still think goff is starting by game 5 meaning keenum has a brutal afternoon today.
i just hope the rams have enough on defense and special teams to squeeze out a win.

InvaderRamModeratoreverything on spruce was nothing but positive.
the only question i have is that he didn’t do it against better competition.
although i’m not sure if he ever went against the first or second defense in practice. either way i would have liked to see him play more in the first half of preseason games.
