InvaderRamModeratorif this defense has any pride they are going into this arizona game pissed and take our all of their anger and frustration out on carson. get some fumbles and interceptions.
on offense hopefully the oline and rbs iron out the mistakes and start gashing that cardinal defense.
if they can do that i see the rams winning.
InvaderRamModeratori believe there is talent on this team.
not because i believe it. although i do believe it. but also because most experts believe it as well.
and on top of that we’ve seen this team take it to some high caliber opponents and beat them. something which they would not have been capable of before fisher and snead.
i do however have this sickening feeling that this team is missing something. maybe it’s coaching? chemistry? maybe it’s just maturity? i don’t know but something is holding this team back. but i don’t think it’s talent.
InvaderRamModeratori sometimes wonder if ogletree could take over at middle linebacker once laurinaitis is done. i think the only thing that would hold him back is the mental aspect. not that he couldn’t do it. i just don’t know whether he could do it.
InvaderRamModeratoron offense it seems like the oline and the running backs are struggling with the zone scheme. but they also seem to be upbeat and think they can iron out the problems through repetition. which they have lacked so far. it could explain why robinson has struggled in run blocking when it was supposed to be a strength of his. thinking too much?
i believe them. but they better figure it out quick.
this team also needs to find a way take their home performances and carry them over to the road. especially with both arizona and green bay being away games.
InvaderRamModeratorthey have to continue to play excellent run defense. against seattle and pittsburgh they were able to do this. it didn’t happen against washington. if they can’t stop the run, i don’t think it matters if they play on or off.
InvaderRamModeratoradrian peterson in his rookie season had a game where he rushed 14 times. for 3 yards.
0 receptions. for 0 yards.
just sayin.
InvaderRamModeratori got a feeling we see the running game starting to come around against arizona. i’m not gonna say it’s going to look like the best running attack in the league, but there will be somewhat of a breakthrough.
InvaderRamModeratorrams HAVE to get turnovers and give the offense a short field to work with. at least 2. and the offense can’t give the ball away. and the d line has to get a ton of pressure on palmer.
if they do that. they’ll have a chance.
InvaderRamModeratori think i still invest a lot in this team. shoot i invest more in this team than i do my fantasy football team. and more than any sports team i follow too.
a lot of it is cuz the team is designed the way i would want a team designed. defense and the running game.
and i enjoy at least tracking the progress of certain individual players.
but yeah i can understand why people get frustrated. hey this could go the way of the niners where some new coach comes in and turns all this talent to wins!
InvaderRamModeratorand here i was digging quick’s grave…

InvaderRamModeratorwhat’s going on with stedman? was really expecting him to make a bigger impact than he has.
InvaderRamModeratori think he’ll get better as the season goes on and the talent around him gets better. or at least i think the talent around him gets better.
InvaderRamModeratormakes sense with gurley starting to play.
InvaderRamModeratoris there a way to get rid of this chat window? it’s kind of annoying when you don’t need to use it.
InvaderRamModeratorthe thing they gotta do. absolutely gotta do. is get this running game on track.
foles is who he is. this passing game is what it is.
but get this running game on track. and there’s a lot of potential there. and i think the rams can turn this around.
i just don’t have a clue how to do that. gurley is getting stronger. mason is getting stronger.
but this oline still doesn’t open many holes. how long does it take for this oline to gel? if it takes another 4 games, this team is in trouble.

InvaderRamModeratordiesels in general are not popular in the states which is a shame because by all accounts they ARE better than the gas engines. more durable. more efficient. better performance. but there are other diesels out there which didn’t get caught. maybe they cheated and just didn’t get caught? dunno. but i know lots of people who swear by the diesel engine but for some reason americans hate them.
InvaderRamModeratorjust talking to an engineering friend of mine. he says the basic technology of the internal combustion engine hasn’t changed in the past 50 years.
don’t really know myself but i gotta think that some alternatives could be thought up and developed.
InvaderRamModeratorthat kendricks dropped td pass was a real heartbreaker.
InvaderRamModeratori wouldn’t. it’s been a long time since he’s played competitive football. as he gets tired the chances of injury increase. need to gradually build him back up.
InvaderRamModeratorsorry, guys. won’t be able to do chat room today, but i will be watching the game and will be at the chat room in spirit.
hopefully we’ll all be happy by the end of today.
InvaderRamModeratori know this guy isn’t the savior. but this guy is potentially the best player on offense. this season. now on this offense that might not be saying much but it’s still nothing you can just dismiss either…
InvaderRamModeratorpass protection was supposed to have been a strength of his. not just that but advanced as a receiver as well. should take pressure off foles.
but yeah. less than 10 touches today. i believe fisher said he’ll be limited first time back.
InvaderRamModerator
InvaderRamModeratoror maybe it’s time they get rid of gas and diesel powered engines. it’s an antiquated piece of technology.
InvaderRamModeratorwell the one thing that absolutely rings true is the fact that the rams couldn’t stop the run. that was their biggest undoing against washington. i don’t care what kind of coverage they were playing.
InvaderRamModeratori think it has everything to do with quick. not being able to beat out givens speaks volumes to me. of course i may be totally wrong.
InvaderRamModeratortre has to step up too. the oline. tavon, kenny, sted, jared. everybody needs to step up. can’t expect the d to totally shut down this high powered offense.

InvaderRamModeratorwell they’ll be playing at home, and that should make a huge difference.

InvaderRamModeratorhahahaha. great post!

InvaderRamModeratorbest case scenario. rams shore up the run defense and go to town on roethlisberger. force a couple turnovers.
mason and a healthy gurley show us what a healthy running game is capable of. takes pressure off of foles who is able to make some explosive plays to the wide receivers. offensive line gains confidence.
