InvaderRamModeratorNo QB is more dangerous from a clean pocket than Aaron Rodgers
…
Through two weeks of play, Goff is now third in the NFL in passing grade (86.1) and second in the rate of uncatchable passes thrown (10%).
wow. just wow. i don’t watch other football games too much, so it’s nice to see some comparisons.
just behind rodgers and ahead of brady with a clean pocket??? third in overall passing grade? he’s also fourth in ypa.
still too early in the season, but i hope it continues.
September 23, 2020 at 10:36 pm in reply to: do the Bills stand even a fraction of a chance against the Rams? #121623InvaderRamModeratoranother big test for the defense.
i’m not as high on this defense as others are. although they have the potential to get better.
it’s gonna be close.
InvaderRamModeratorSean McVay says they will probably place LG Joe Noteboom on injured reserve.
i thought edwards played better when he was in…
i would prefer edwards going forward anyway.
September 23, 2020 at 10:16 pm in reply to: Ramsey deal clears 2020 cap space… & other Rams n the cap issues #121621InvaderRamModeratormaybe the rams and the nfl know something the rest don’t.
they wouldn’t just hand out money without knowing how much money they will have at their disposal.
InvaderRamModeratorI kind of like Cowherd as far as talking heads goes. He has been one of the few national people who seems to actually know what he is actually talking about rather than just spending his energy getting Edgy with conventional wisdom. That thing that just happened in this thread is an example of how the media gets the Rams wrong all the time. Really, last year, everybody just thought Goff isn’t that good, and teams figured McVay out. That was just what everybody said. Cowherd seems better informed, at least about the Rams. I don’t know about other teams. Maybe he’s a Rams fan and actually watches their games, I dunno.
i’d also guess that he’s got a pretty good research team.
InvaderRamModeratorThe Rams’ offensive turnaround through the first two weeks of the season is pretty remarkable, given the extent to which the rest of the league appeared to figure Sean McVay out and turn Jared Goff into a pumpkin as a result.
Another way to put that is this: “The Rams’ offensive production is back to normal now that they have a healthy OL.”
I know, I know…to-MAY-to, to-MAH-to.
i agree. that’s well put.
4. Buffalo Bills (2-0)
Last week: Win at Miami 31-28
This week: vs. Los Angeles RamsRaise your hand if you expected Josh Allen to be leading the NFL in passing through Week 2. On one hand, I’m tempted to say: please show me how they perform against teams that aren’t the Jets or a banged-up Dolphins. On the other, this is exactly what you try and do with developing QBs—you create a runway and build confidence.
i’m curious to see how the rams defense deals with allen.
InvaderRamModeratorGurley had the after burners. I rate Faulk, Jackson, Dickerson better than Gurley. Gurley had the extraordinary speed, he did not have the running ability those guys had. imo
he needed four more great seasons to be mentioned in the same sentence as faulk.
two more great seasons, and he’s in eric dickerson territory.
four more above average seasons, and he’s comparable to jackson.
as it is he only had two great seasons and two decent seasons.
i loved watching gurley when he was on. almost as much as faulk.
InvaderRamModeratori remember a couple years ago there was that controversy of mcvay talking to goff on the headset right up until communication got cut off.
too much was being made of it at the time, but i do wonder if mcvay still does that. or is goff pretty much on his own now. does it even matter?
InvaderRamModeratorA healthy Gurley was a wonder to behold.
yeah.
InvaderRamModeratorI know, I know — the NFL instructed stadiums to make their piped-in crowd noise as realistic as possible. Still, what a hilariously brutal scene to have the home stadium piping in booing as the Rams went up 21-3 in the second quarter. I suppose that’s what Eagles fans would be doing.
so… during the rams cowboys game were they piping in cowboys fans’ cheers?
….
ok i’m done.
InvaderRamModeratorOgbo Okoronkwo, Jachai Polite, Justin Hollins, Terrell Lewis, and A’Shawn Robinson are players I would like to see play.
yeah.
i know they’re longshots, but i’d like to see williams and hoecht at some point as well.
InvaderRamModeratorIt might be a trite term but that was a total team win in my eyes. Great to get a comfortable road win. The offense seems to have a wide range of options. On defense I would like to see more of the pressures turn into sacks. I hope Sloman can get it together, he looks shaky. The new uniforms and helmets still aren’t to growing on me. Winning in Buffalo will be tough. Consecutive long road trips have to be exhausting.
the offense. well. these guys have played together for some time now. it was wonderful to see.
the defense needs reps. also i hope lewis comes back in week 4 and can provide a little extra oomph in the pass rush.

David Edwards really came in today and balled like that job was supposed to be hisi like edwards. i like him a lot.
InvaderRamModeratorCornell29
the run game the last two games is better than i have seen over any two games last year. This was after having a good run game against Dallas. Eagles defense after the game said they knew what was coming but just couldn’t stop it. Now thats a run game.
for all the talk about mcvay’s offensive genius he’s at his best when he’s pounding the rock.
they’re second in rushing attempts right now.
also goff is currently second in ypa. love watching this offense.
InvaderRamModeratorCameron DaSilva@camdasilva
That was a 7-point fumble by Kupp – a punt he should’ve let go in the first place.this guy wants the rams to fail…
𝕋𝕠𝕞 – 𝕃𝔸 ℝ𝕒𝕞𝕤@TL_LARams
But no other QB gets the credit taken away from him like Goff does on a regular basis.i do think the media underestimated the rams this year specifically because of how they rate goff. i hope he proves them wrong.
InvaderRamModeratorMaybe social-media should accuse Kiser of missed tackles more often.
w
vhaha. yeah. and why doesn’t he get sacks? what’s going on?
InvaderRamModeratorLove this – as Jared Goff was on his 13/13 streak, players were joking with him on the sideline like “oh we can’t talk to you!” as when a pitcher is throwing a perfect game.
well. apparently they were talking to him. and they did jinx him…
InvaderRamModeratorThe Rams drafted the better QB.
just so excited to see what his trajectory is.
InvaderRamModeratorit’s too early.
InvaderRamModeratorgoff looked real good today. i hope he takes the next step this season. he’s been good. but i hope he gets better.
running game is going to be good this year.
the offense in general looks strong. i think it could be even better than the 2018 offense if that’s possible. sure gurley is gone. but mcvay should be better. goff should be better. the receiving game should be better. and the 3 running backs look good so far.
the defense needs more reps. but they have stepped it up in the second half when it matters. hopefully, that holds true from the first half of the season to the second half of the season. again. hopefully, lewis comes back healthy and can improve the pass rush.
and lastly. kiser. tackling machine!
InvaderRamModeratori think he’s noticeably bigger this year. especially the lower body.
also even with the rams’ short yardage passing attack last week goff still managed to end up third i think in ypa among all qbs.
September 19, 2020 at 6:49 pm in reply to: tweets … 9/17 thru 9/19 … ( w/ some excellent Rodrigue stuff in here) #121323InvaderRamModeratorThe Rams have a lot of versatile pieces in their secondary, so does the understanding that they are going to probably see more multiple-tight end work from the Eagles mean they can open up their playbook a little deeper?
Big grin from Jalen Ramsey:
“Perhaps.”
can’t wait.
InvaderRamModeratorTo be fair the guy I quote who looked at the game tape says it was not 7 missed tackles.
ok. yeah. i see. that makes more sense.
i still do think tackling overall was a little lacking. not just kiser. but i bet it gets cleaned up. plus that was probably one of the better offenses the rams defense will have gone up against.
InvaderRamModeratori’m not all that bothered by it.
as far as the missed tackles. he hasn’t played competitive football in awhile. didn’t have a proper offseason to get ready for the first game. so hopefully he cleans that stuff up.
InvaderRamModeratorSo they both got $16 Million/yr.
what do you think, ag?
can the rams fit this under the cap and afford other players?
i love woods. and i woulda been fine keeping him over kupp. but can they keep both?
InvaderRamModeratorwhoa man.
i’m excited. but also worried if the rams can afford this.
but i love woods. i’m glad he’s still a ram. i just hope they have enough for other positions.
InvaderRamModeratorWatch Woods #17 in this one.
i love woods.
i just don’t know how they re-sign him while addressing other areas of need. but maybe it is possible.
InvaderRamModeratorAt any rate, his bust-rate is pretty low, and its starting to look like the Rams might be in the same conversation as the Steelers and Ravens as far as Personnel.
i don’t know if i’m ready to go there yet. but he really seems to have hit a stride lately.
i wonder if this is in part born of his early years working with fisher. there was a lot of dysfunction in that front office. post-fisher has been an improvement.
InvaderRamModeratorAldon Smith’s effort was the most impressive part of his game. He is a high-motor defender w/heavy hands and a physical game. Unbelievable that he’s been away from the game since 2015 and returned as an impact player.
well the one thing that isn’t being taken into account. and which worries me. is that this is one game. maybe. just maybe. the rams oline just isn’t that good. we’ll see soon enough.
Pederson says his RBs need to start mentally preparing right now for the uniquely physical matchup they face when they have to “sacrifice the route” to get in Donald’s path.
hehehehe…
InvaderRamModeratorthe only negative i can find on this guy is his 40 time. everything else stands out about this guy. a long way to go obviously, but this guy is something else.
he’s smart, instinctive, athletic, tough. can’t wait to see this guy mature.
