barron and mcdonald both appear to be liabilities in coverage. in fact, i read an espn article which stated that pro football focus graded mcdonald as one of the worst coverage safeties in the league with a -11.0 grade. it actually seems like barron would be the more reliable safety in coverage.

my best guess is the rams rotate the three safeties around.

and oline was supposed to be a strength this year.

so. what does la think about next year’s qb class?

this injury thing is just very depressing. but i am excited to see barrett jones line up at center going forward. i’m also excited to see robinson play at left tackle. and also looking forward to seeing some more stedman bailey and possibly tavon austin at wr.

i’d have to agree with that. he’s inconsistent. one half he makes plays. the next half he makes critical mistakes.

i don’t think he’ll be a world beater. which is why it’s important that the receivers continue to develop. it’s also important that tre mason becomes what he can be. a strong running game will make him that much more effective.

also. i suspect tavon will come through. he’s on pace for only 32 receptions this season, but he’s caught 80% of his targets.

they need to get him the ball more and on the move. or maybe he just isn’t developing as fast as they thought he would.

i really hope they find a way to keep this guy. cut long and sign this guy long-term! robinson and barksdale as the bookends. i like the sound of that. receiving corps is developing nicely. might have a solid qb. just gotta get the rbs going…

i think barrett jones gets his shot soon. i think he’s going to surprise.

i think this guy can only get better. but he’s already so disruptive. seems like you see his name being called at least once or twice a quarter. incredible find this guy. he, brockers, and quinn should develop nicely together.

that really needs to be his nickname.

i’m glad for the win but still disheartened by the inconsistency of this team. this is not a solid formula for winning. they have to get better.

having said that. lots of positive things i can take from this game.

i watched a lot of robinson. i thought it was a good first game from him. from what i could tell anyway.

yes. thank you. i can’t wait! i think robinson is going to be great.

i wonder who donald is starting in place of.

the mistakes that davis made though seem correctable.

but yeah. it’ll be interesting to see what defenses come up with to stop him as they get more game tape and what davis and the rams will do to counteract that.

i don’t think it was so much the penalties as it was the turnovers. those turnovers killed the rams. what was it? three fumbles and a blocked punt? 2 directly leading to touchdowns? not many teams can overcome that and still win.

After four games what can
we say about Brian Quick?

I am happy about his obvious improvement,
but I’m a little surprised some folks
talk about him in such glowing terms.
I still think he is a tad soft on contested
balls. I havent seen any real ‘britt-like’ fierceness
from him on the field to finish plays.

I’m still waiting for Quick to show some
physical tenaciousness.

i think he shows that tenaciousness at times. i think that tenaciousness will come through more and more as the season goes on and he gains more confidence.

there was one play in particular yesterday in the first half i think where he attacked the ball aggressively. wanna see more of that. but the difference from the last two years is startling. i didn’t expect it.

he’s already surpassed career highs in receptions, yards, and touchdowns.
