    yeah. the defense has been a big disappointment.

    i don’t know what happened there. if players have regressed. learning a new system. i don’t know. but then do you change coordinators again? how many changes have they made there?

    oddly enough there’s been more stability at the offensive coordinator position. and surprisingly they’ve performed better than expectations?

    no. lots of things to look forward to this season. watched every game so far. i’m a sunday ticket subscriber too. specifically to watch the rams play.

    just been hard lately. i’m a cardinals fan and losing oscar taveras has been particularly hard.

    but rams are the team i love the most. but yeah. getting blown out gets tough sometimes. didn’t watch the 4th quarter against kansas city last week.

    There’s actually been a couple of things that didn’t turn out right this year so far.

    true dat. this season has been very different from the season i had imagined in my mind 2 months ago.

    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.

    i’m willing to bet that donald’s speed and quickness to size ratio is among the best ever in the nfl.

    i suppose it’s a can’t lose trade, but the bucs got rid of him for a reason…

    ranked 66th at his position? maybe it was just a wrong fit…

    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 missed the last quarter. how did barrett jones look filling in at center?

    greg robinson at left tackle?

    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.

    if mason can learn to take care of the ball. and that’s a huge if. it’s a no brainer for me. i mean he looks like he’s capable of putting up some huge numbers pretty soon. he’s got the vision combined with the burst.

    but like i said. that’s a huge if. he’s been fumbler for awhile.

    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 think the defense started to think they’d already arrived. they gotta get their collective head out of their ass.

    the rookie are the only ones on defense to impress. so far.

    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.

    greg robinson and mason give me hope. that this running game can be better than mediocre.

    that was a decent showing against a very strong run defense. it should only get better.

    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.

    he can be a solid starter. not sure if he can be much more than that.

    he’s done a lot of good things, but this offense is still not very good.

    if the rams can get their running game going, he’s a viable starter.

    Fisher had ZERO confidence
    in his defense. And a lot
    of confidence in Hekker.

    exactly. and that scares me.

    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.

    tre mason looked explosive. i agree.

    watching robinson this year will be a joy. i think he progresses rapidly going forward.

    i like cosell. very level headed analysis.

    rams need to start out fast. no getting behind and trying to come back. they also need to take care of the ball. not turn it over. and get a couple turnovers themselves.

    maybe with aaron donald starting the rams can be a little more disruptive.

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

    i wonder who donald is starting in place of.

    if this were true. and if it ever did get out. i mean a lot of people would have to keep silent about this. wouldn’t the nfl stand to lose a lot of money from that? and it’s already gotten a lot of bad press lately.

    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.

    he really does remind me of brees and wilson. that’s exciting.

    sure he’s had the benefit of the rams possibly having finally found a number one receiver. and in his three starts the running game has averaged over 120 yards. but his ypa of 7.9 is impressive. ranks seventh in the nfl.

    if they can get the offensive line fixed, he’ll be even more effective.

    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.
