Trumaine 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.

also. keenum started out slow, but he really showed up from the end of the second quarter on. this guy’s tough.

i’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.

well. 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.

my bad. apparently it’s 55. i think that would be helpful though still.

if 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.

love what i’m reading about the oline. expect them to be even better against tampa bay.

Even 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.

let 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.

i like this guy. he plays with an energy that most of our wrs don’t…

and he can actually catch the ball.

To 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.

well 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.

wentz 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.

Another 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.

i 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.
