    offense definitely needs to take care of the ball if they’re to win tomorrow.

    nick foles has thrown 2 ints for tds in the preseason already no? hope he got that out of his system.

    the offense on the other hand. i fully expect it to take a long time before we see this offense in full stride. whether that full stride is effective or not remains to be seen.

    gregg williams’ motto. “start fast”. i’m hoping. this defense has to start fast. they should start fast. they should be embarrassed if they don’t.

    the leaders on this defense have failed if this defense does not finish top 5.

    regardless, it should be a fun season.

    i don’t know technical stuff, but i am even more excited than i was last year. maybe it’ll all end up being for nothing, but i haven’t been this excited in awhile.

    second year under the same coordinator. that’s huge. that’s something they haven’t had under the fisher regime, and i’m hoping that is the difference. they’ve been inconsistent every year under fisher. but maybe this is the year it changes. guys are entering their prime years at the right time and at important positions. again. quinn and donald should be better than they were last year. ogletree. you read good things about him this year as opposed to last year when he showed up out of shape. and in the backfield, mcdonald to some played like the best safety in the league in the second half of the season if you believe those sabremetrics.

    the one downside is losing gaines. i was really counting on him this year, but hopefully, joyner can emerge and offset at least some of that loss. long and laurinaitis are a year older. but the positives definitely outweigh the negatives.

    i’m hoping this is the year the defense finally steps up and becomes great.

    a healthy gurley and mason and i’d say yes, but since that it isn’t happening, i’ll say no.

    my guess is it relates to the division they’re playing in as well as strength of schedule overall. in an easier division, their mean win should go up and their playoff chances as well.

    playing against the number one team in seattle will do that.

    atlanta for example has some pretty weak teams in their division thus increasing their chances of winning and making the playoffs.

    i hope that brady and belichick are never inducted into the football hall of fame. the writers should freeze them and anyone associated with those superbowls out of the hall of fame.

    i remember when the nfl insisted that concussions had no long-term effect on the health of football players…

    i’m sure the same goes that spygate had no effect on the patriots winning…

    problem is those turnovers don’t exist in a vacuum. we don’t know what events, which could have been influenced by information obtained by the patriots spying, occurred prior to that which influenced what happened on any one of those turnovers. and not just the plays themselves. but even plays prior to those plays. unconverted third downs. third and longs. hits to warner. and even on the other side giving the patriots an advantage on offense.

    we’re just left to wonder exactly how much the patriots knew. and it only makes it worse that they only won by a field goal.

    that play on peterson was unreal. this season should be fun if for no other reason than to watch him play. quinn too.

    i will say this. we’d be looking at this team very differently had bradford stayed healthy the past two years. very differently.

    and now they have foles who hopefully stays healthy and a running back as good as a steven jackson in his prime. if he stays healthy. the oline is a mess right now but it has seemed a mess for years.

    i don’t know what that adds up to.

    you’re right. they do match up well. and that’s why with the other factors in play there’s a chance the rams catch them by surprise.

    i hope. but that oline really worries me.

    one thing that gives me hope. seattle’s oline situation supposedly isn’t the best right now and they’ll be missing some key personnel on defense. so hopefully the rams are catching them at the right time.

    so guesses on the starting center?

    i’m hoping it’s rhaney only because he’s the less known quantity. and in my screwed up logic, he represents more potential.

    on the other hand, that’s not a lot of game experience with rhaney there. so probably barnes.

    overall i’d say it’s a good looking roster. lots of potential.

    and at first glance it looks like they got rid of some talented players. which is a good thing.

    now can they play?

    one thing that hurts is if they lose battle, they lose that draft pick. methinks they should have kept him if they think that much of him, but probably can’t afford the luxury at this point.

    I don’t agree. It’s not t.s. … IMO it’s raw and will have its moments. The upside promises a line that is not only solid, but 2 deep at back-up tackle, which is just plain rare.

    .

    well. a poor attempt at humor. i mean i obviously think it isn’t total shit as i do believe there’s a chance that it could come together mid-season. meaning i think there’s actual talent there.

    wow. dunbar cut. i take this as a good sign actually. a sign of how deep the talent has become on the defense.

    wow. jones cut. i guess that can only mean that the olinemen who beat him out were that good.

    or jones was just that bad.

    i’m hoping for the former.

    it’s an exciting season for sure. as it always is. but this oline seems to be total shit…

    i think if the oline can gel and gurley comes back legit, the rams can make a run in the second half. but will it be too late by then?

    i agree with a lot of that. it might even take the first 8 games. i do think the defense still has a chance to show greatness, but this offense is going to be painful to watch for quite awhile.

    tavon also spent a lot of energy reversing field on that play. he may have started getting a little gassed at that point. the play says 40 yards but i wouldn’t be surprised if he ran closer to 70 yards.

    i think the oline will eventually be fine. we’ll see flashes. but it’s really gonna struggle at the beginning. feel bad for tre but hopefully they start coming around in the second half. i think this puts a big dent in their chances of a winning record. i hope i’m wrong.

    this is the tavon austin i want to see in the regular season. we saw glimpses of it his rookie year.

    again. not expecting 100 catches. but if he can get about 50 receptions, 40 carries, and punt return duties along with a highlight reel of missed tackles i’ll be happy. anything more than that would just be gravy.

    with all the talk about the oline i gotta say. i’m feeling less confident about this defense. not in panic mode yet. but worried it’s gonna be more of the same this year.

    Laram

    Just unbelievable that an NFL HC with experience would do this.

    I’ve seen (I know you have as well) o-lines with a positional strength on one side or the other, cover-up deficiencies.

    This line has weak links all over. I dunno how you mask them, and I certainly don’t think that Bouds is the guy to do it.

    I can’t point to one area of strength on this line. If Saffold could stay on the field I could identify him, but we’ve seen enough to know he can’t.

    GRob’s development is concerning. I had concerns when he came out, but said that if Bouds felt they were correctable, he would be a good pick.

    Well..I’m not seeing the improvement there yet. Will he ever develop into a top level LT?

    Barrett Jones and Rob Havenstein are both train wrecks. Jones no power or athleticism, Havenstein, slow feet, no lateral quickness and a waste bender.

    They have about 7-8 games I believe against 34 defenses. A defender on the nose and teams running 3-4 Eagle fronts, they won’t have any idea what to do with that.

    This is a disaster man. Just really sickening.

    ummm. well. this is not pleasing to read.

    what does he think of brown?
