i don’t think receivers are so much the problem as it is an injured and inexperienced oline and the quarterback.

if the rams can’t figure out the qb equation, not sure it’s gonna matter who is there at coordinator. the oline should improve with experience and health.

i think fisher’s got a problem drafting knuckleheads. could robinson be the next in a long line of super-athletic knuckleheads drafted by fisher?

well it’s not anything that’s going to be fixed soon. probably not until the offseason.

i seem to remember reports saying that robinson was not putting in the necessary preparation it takes to be a professional instead relying on his athleticism. that’s disappointing. so maybe he realizes he can’t get away with it at this level. hopefully it’s just part of the maturation process. he needs to wake up.

Well no the report was that he had STOPPED doing that, ie. that he had stopped believing he was just athletic enough and didn’t need more. The issue was specifically him studying film of his opponents.

That’s not that uncommon. Williams openly came out and said he had similar issues with Joyner, that in 2014 Joyner just believed in his own athleticism and wouldn’t do things the way he was supposed to.

The recent revelation about Robinson came in the wake of GR realizing that he was doing things the wrong way by not studying opponents and so on.

yes. it recently has changed. hopefully now he maintains that and actually learns from it. i mean he should be embarrassed right now.

his oline is decimated. and the passing game is in shambles.

i agree with those who say the rams need a qb. so it isn’t necessarily a matter of time but a matter of if they can find a qb. if they can find a qb it could be next year. if they can’t it’ll be never. and they just need a competent qb. they don’t need a great one.

geez. i thought that foles could be at least adequate. mediocre. he doesn’t even seem to be that.

we’re in rooting for losses territory now.

oh man. this is so depressing. instead of thinking playoffs i’m now looking at mock drafts again.

and todd gurley has been shut down for the third game in a row now. i would at least like to see todd gurley finish the season strong. please just give me that. and the losses won’t hurt as much.

i don’t want receivers. i think the rams have decent receivers. i’d like a freaking quarterback.

i hope he’s ok. i hope they’re all ok.

youngest offensive line. first year coordinator. new quarterback. not a recipe for success. how much of that was out of the rams control?

i don’t know but at least part of the reasoning for a first year coordinator was continuity. bringing in a new coordinator with a whole new system. would that have made things better?

could they have brought in some veteran linemen? would they have been better than havenstein? would that have offset the avalanche of injuries that buried this offense?

what a calamity.

well i remember when isaac was having all those hamstring issues and the rams had to alter his conditioning habits. just wondering if maybe the lifting and conditioning habits need to be altered for the linemen. this has been like going on for at least the last five years. it’s getting ridiculous.

well. i’ll be watching greg this sunday.

i like carson wentz. i think the wrs are good enough.

cook. you know i haven’t really seen either play so i am really just speaking off what i have read and stats. but cook’s accuracy looks really spotty. of course. the advantage with him is that he plays in a pro style offense.

i remain hopeful that it’s just a technique and confidence issue. he’s only 23 and in his second year. he’s got everything you’d want in a tackle. and it seems like he’s humble and focused so it’d be a shame if he doesn’t pan out.

i think fans have been harsh on him though.

i personally wouldn’t just rely on boudreau to work his magic with these young guys. i’d count on maybe two ot three of those guys panning out. and then i’d draft more in the middle to late rounds and throw them in the mix but i definitely agree that they have more young guys with potential in there than they have in the past.

part of that reasoning is cuz of saffold. i think he’s unreliable. so even if wichmann and one other lineman pan out, they still need some depth. is it already there? i don’t know. we haven’t even seen enough of these guys to really know. i just think the odds are they won’t pan out. not even most of them. i can see rob, brown, wichmann, and maybe one other but then you need guys to backup and develop.
