someone correct me if i’m wrong but rookie sack leaders. verse and fiske are 1 and 2.

nfl rookie int leaders. mccollough number 1 and kinchens number 3.

and speights looked good today.

Geez, have you guyz watched the Jared Verse mic-d up vid. Quite the trash talker.   He dont like the Vikings. Somewhere Deacon is smiling.

it woulda been fun to see verse and donald playing together.

also did anyone see puka’s post game interview? fun stuff. he and verse give this team some personality. definitely fan favorites.

Wendell not only fields effective units, he finds the players too (OL coaches have huge input in who gets signed or drafted to the unit).

yeah. i wouldn’t necessarily say he makes something out of nothing. the rams and wendell are finding the right guys too.

just an amazing job he’s doing. i thought injuries would derail this team. and they have. but the rams might still be able to get out of this and make a run? i don’t know but if they do, significant credit will have to be given to wendell.

Don’t give him away, like they did Ernest Jones.

Odd one. Jones was available for a swap of Day 3 picks at the end of camp, but maybe Rams didn’t want to trade him in division. Seahawks basically paying more draft capital for that and for the Titans to eat the rest of Baker’s base salary (~$1.2m)?

…

me (@moi.com):

.

Titans traded a starter to a team that was trying to pry him away. Rams traded an injury recovering player everyone knew they were trying to unload. Titans proved Jones could still play, and Seattle pursued him. The 2 situations were just different.

.

Maybe the story here is that Seattle was willing to overpay.

yeah.  and don’t expect much for kupp.

i mean i’ll be disappointed if they trade him, but if they can save cap space, it might not be a bad idea. if no cap space can be saved, then keep him.

i know, but they haven’t extended him yet, so it makes me worried.

i thought turner was impressive. williams, whittington, kyren williams…

but some bad errors. kyren fumble. stafford interception. and the offense is too injured to overcome errors.

it’s gonna be a long season.

very encouraging stats on the oline and dline.

I think a less mobile QB might have been in trouble yesterday.

yeah. so many times he was able to get out of pressure with his feet and either scramble or buy some extra time for a pass.

injuries suck. i don’t know much about football but seeing mcclendon get abused on the left side was painful to watch.

i was naive to think the defense would be ok without donald. and i think the defense misses ernest jones too.

what do people think of jared verse?

and fiske? and limmer?

seems verse did particularly well no?

so far in his career McV has never developed a young qb.

this and winning another superbowl are the next benchmarks for mcvay as a head coach.

i’m gonna go out on a limb and predict that limmer is a starter by the end of the season with jackson being a question mark in terms of being able to stay healthy.

not sure if kupp is pulling our leg but apparently he’s handling opening kickoff against the lions. pretty sure this is a joke but with new kickoff rules who knows?

Ricky Pearsall was released from the hospital yesterday, and didn’t need surgery for his injury. I don’t know how long it takes to recover from a bullet wound, but I guess it didn’t hit any organs, so no lasting damage. I would think he would be able to play this season at some point, although he was already behind because he missed a lot of camp due to injuries. Not a great start to his career, but at least the dude is alive and reasonably well, considering. Jeez.

that had to be scary. glad to hear no surgery was needed.

only so many balls to go around, but i am really excited about what parkinson and allen can contribute.

both young. both have untapped potential. so yeah. very promising.

excited to see the secondary. all of them. really rooting for white.
