    i really do think they’re better off finding out what they have in bailey and quick.

    they are what they are. cook and britt.

    Looking just at drops now (not catch percentage)…Kendricks, Britt, and Cook all fell off from where they even were last year.

    i can forgive kendricks. playing with a bad thumb has got to be hard.

    cook and britt are dead to me.

    gotta start giving bailey and quick more playing time.

    For Cleveland, CB Joe Haden and TE Housler ruled out.

    joe haden out? that’s huge. wonder if the rams try to pass it more.

    this team is able to draft and develop defensive backs with success. i would lean toward letting him walk. save the big bucks for an aaron donald. i don’t know that i’d put jenkins at that level.

    not so sure about gaines. i think he might be fragile. what does the draft look like for corners? if they sign him, it’ll have to be at the expense of another player.

    my only question with him is what happens when he gets that huge pay day? right or not i question his motivation.

    i would not. but. if i would, i would not discriminate.

    i would divide into as many different demographic categories as possible. or as many as i could think of. by age, ethnicity, geographical location, occupation, wealth, gender, sexual orientation, religion… i don’t know if i’m missing anything. and then i’d just randomly remove a percentage within each category.

    not that i’ve ever thought about this.

    the only other solution i can think of is getting off this planet.

    but then you’d just have more humans.

    the one question i gotta ask myself. can he be as good as eli manning?

    i’d say he definitely could be as good as eli manning. and i’d also say that gurley would rival any running back the giants had.

    and that dline could be as good as that giants dline.

    that’s what i think of when i see these rams play.

    for what it’s worth. the rams have held wilson, roethlisberger, palmer, and rodgers to their season low qb ratings so far. the only exception is cousins who had his season high qb rating.

    i don’t know. bailey hasn’t dropped the ball much from what i can remember. austin has looked fine. kendricks. i attribute that to the bad thumb which required surgery.

    the main culprits for me have been cook and britt. and quite frankly. i’d be glad if neither of them were on this team next year.

    we’ll see about quick.

    even if they can’t get rid of him, he should not see the field anymore. don’t need quitters on this team.

    i think we’ll end up being happy with this guy.

    he gave up a cheap sack letting matthews through untouched. but hopefully the line as a whole tighten things up.

    i think pro football focus gave him a positive run blocking grade which is more than i can say for saffold.

    I think there’s a good chance they will do just that.

    If they do, I think a reasonable response would simply be to say, “Yeah. Saw that one coming.”

    It’s a very simple situation. If the Rams are serious about being competitive, they’ll make a statement in this game. They have the talent for that.

    If they don’t … we’ll know that the Fisher Pattern is still in effect. Fail. Tease. Fail. Repeat.

    i agree. not a must win game. but definitely a statement game. lose and they’ve only shown that they’re the same inconsistent team that has frustrated us in the past.

    yeah. i almost feel as though they’ll be better off this year with reynolds.

    Sometimes it just depends who’s available. I mean
    if Sid Gillman or Bill Walsh is available,
    I’d probly be in favor of a change, myself.

    My own view of Fisher is on record — I think
    he can definitely build a “winning team” ie.,
    a team that can win a division. I just dont
    know if he can be more than a Shottenheimer-Chuck-Knox
    type. I dunno.

    My biggest concern is with his ideas about Offense.
    I am not sure about his notions in regard to the
    passing-game. I dunno.

    ummm. yeah. i don’t know either. should be an exciting next 11 games.

    the passing game with the rbs is another thing cignetti needs to develop too. there’s real potential there.

    well i am a fan of kendricks. i don’t think he’ll ever be a superstar, but he can be that hybrid player that fisher loves. do a little bit of everything and add to the deception that gurley and austin provide.

    and this is what i’ve been wanting. other players to play off of that potent gurley austin combo. he doesn’t have to light up the stat sheets. just do enough to keep defenses honest. i hope that this surgery is successful cuz the rams are gonna need him. harkey too.

    the biggest question mark i have is at receiver. can they get bailey more involved. he’s their most sure handed guy. get the play action working, but receivers need to catch the ball. the video seems to imply that’s already started happening, but receivers are dropping catches or foles will make a bad throw.

    it’ll be interesting to see if the offense can continue to progress the next 11 games. if i’m cignetti, i’m concentrating on these three things.

    1. offensive line has to tighten up their pass protection. get guys on the same page.

    2. foles working on the timing with his receivers. his passes are just a little bit off. the potential td throw to kendricks for example was just a little bit behind him. is he just inaccurate or is he just throwing to the wrong spot? i don’t know. but a lot of times those passes are just a half a second behind the receivers. maybe it’s just getting that chemistry down.

    3. find one receiver who can consistently bail the defense out with some first down catches. i think that guy should be bailey. i don’t trust britt. i don’t trust cook. i don’t know about quick. i’m hoping it’s bailey. get him some more snaps.

    i think what’s interesting is that they mix and match and disguise all the different plays making them look the same right up until the last second.

    i think what cignetti has done is introduced the zone blocking scheme. that’s an element that schotty didn’t incorporate and seems to serve as a nice counter punch to the power schemes they run as well.

    stretch them out wide and the counter them with a gurley power run. or hit them the other way with tavon. so in that sense he has found a different way to use austin. or at least that’s how i understand that. when you get gurley stretching the defense one way and then counter with austin going the other way, the defense is stressed in a way they weren’t before the wide zone offense was installed.

    so cignetti has added a wrinkle that schotty did not have. and it might have actually increased the effectiveness of players including austin. although having gurley there doesn’t hurt.

    I’ll be disappointed if the Rams don’t win by at least 10 points.

    yes. they should beat them handily.

    i really will be disappointed. i mean barring some catastrophic injury to a key player. there’s no reason the rams shouldn’t beat this team. and not just beat them barely. they’re playing at home. against a journeyman qb and a lousy defense.

    it’s worth watching. i don’t know if it’s true, but it sounds really good… haha!

    a very nice simplified description of the different components and philosophies that go into their running game and how austin and gurley make it go. bottom line is they are both fantastic athletes and really stress and stretch out the defense. also sounds like they are able to do it in a way that makes it hard for defenses to key in on what they are doing.

    just need to find a way to play off this and get other guys going. but a good foundation is a start.
