I think the game is going to be a struggle from start to finish.

January 1, 2019 at 10:33 am in reply to: NRR … tweets from around the NFL including coaching hires … 12/31 & 1/1 #95920nittany ramModeratorDowntown Rams@DowntownRams
Former #Rams OC Matt LaFleur has been requested to interview for the #Packers HC job.As OC with the Rams he never called a play.
As OC with the Titans where he did call the plays his offense finished 25th in yards and 27th in scoring.
Now, I’m not saying the reason the Titans struggled was all on LaFleur or that he is a bad coach.
But what about his resume suggests he has earned head coach consideration?
The same question could be asked about the other Rams assistants being interviewed for HC spots.
Anything or anyone that is or has been associated with Sean McVay is gold in the eyes of the league right now.
Which is cool, but also quite annoying from a continuity standpoint.
nittany ramModeratorOver the past two years #Rams are tied for best record in NFL at 24-8, have won their division both years and lead NFL in scoring and point differential

nittany ramModeratorThe #Cardinals, in need of a HC to groom young QB Josh Rosen, have requested permission to talk to #Rams QB coach Zac Taylor.
Vincent Bonsignore@VinnyBonsignore
With so many coaching jobs opening in the #NFL, sense I get is #Rams offensive assistants Shane Waldron and Zac Taylor will draw interest and be in play.ME: IMO…Zac Taylor’s not ready to be a head coach.
No. He doesn’t have much of a resume. Not one worthy of a HC, anyway.

December 31, 2018 at 2:20 pm in reply to: Playoff game 1: who do you want to see / expect to see? #95887nittany ramModeratorBut I don’t think the Bears can handle temperatures in the High 60s. That team is just not built for that kind of weather, and I think it will take a toll on them.
Not to mention the relentless, 75 degree breeze blowing in off the Pacific.
The Bears are used to 40 mph winds coming off Lake Michigan creating windchills of -15 degrees.
I got news for ya. 75 is a MUCH higher number than -15. In fact, it’s almost twice as high.
Hell, I wouldn’t be surprised if the Bears just turned tail and flew home after being embraced by the warm air rising off of the tarmac when they open the plane door.
December 31, 2018 at 12:19 pm in reply to: Playoff game 1: who do you want to see / expect to see? #95877nittany ramModeratorOur offense has not played well against teams strong defensive front 7’s.
Sure they have. They played well against Seattle x 2, Minnesota, Kansas City, New Orleans, etc. All of those teams have strong front 7’s and the Rams scored at least 33 points against all of them.
December 31, 2018 at 9:50 am in reply to: Playoff game 1: who do you want to see / expect to see? #95871nittany ramModeratorI’m fine with any team the Rams play. I’m not scared of any of the matchups. However, the team that I would least want them to face in the playoffs is Seattle. Beating a team three times in a season is difficult, and the Seahawks should go into that game with a lot of confidence given the outcome of the other two meetings.
nittany ramModeratori’m honestly surprised they keep trotting barkley out there. i realize there were some rookie records to break.
but shoot. he’s had to carry a load this season.
i woulda protected him.
He passed Gurley to become the league’s second leading rusher.
nittany ramModeratorYeah, the orcas didn’t attack that person, but then they swam off and killed a dolphin, seal, or whale.
I’d rather they eat the people and leave that other stuff alone.
December 29, 2018 at 6:33 am in reply to: John Johnson III continues under the radar — but probably not for long #95785nittany ramModeratorI like Johnson, but to me he’s just a solid to good safety. My dream is for the Rams to someday have a safety that impacts the game like a Ronnie Lott or Troy Polamalu.
nittany ramModeratorunfortunately, i would say he should be. no place for stuff like that.
The question is when does he get suspended? How will it affect our defense? Who will play there as well? Things to think about
He won’t be suspended. According to Fitzgerald they were just goofing around.
nittany ramModeratorWanted to address the video circulating from Sunday: I’ve known @NdamukongSuh since his college days and he’s a close friend of mine. Quality as a person matches his quality as a player.
That video is just a friend clowning with another friend. No negative intent! It's all love

nittany ramModeratorThey can safely rest Gurley until the playoffs, and they should. Keep him working out on the sidelines, etc. But don’t play him. Goff shouldn’t play more than the first half next week . . .
I think the Rams need to do what it takes to win next week so they get the first round bye. I don’t want to see Goff come out until/unless the game is well in hand.
Unfortunately, the Bears/Vikings game is also a late game, so the Rams won’t know where they stand regarding the bye prior to their game.
nittany ramModeratorThanks for your support for Donald. That means a lot coming from a Niners fan.
I also think Donald should be MVP. Brees is having a very good year but he’s not doing anything we haven’t seen from a lot of other QBs in the modern age.
Mahomes is having a huge year statistically, but he’s lost most of the big, meaningful games he’s played thus far.
Donald is having THE BEST SEASON A DT EVER HAD. And he makes timely plays right when the Rams need them. He comes through in big games.
That should be rewarded.
nittany ramModeratorOne thing I noticed and I think the commentator pointed it out as well…the Rams didn’t stay in 11 personnel almost exclusively like they did prior to this game. They mixed in a lot of other personnel packages.
For example, they seemed to use 2 TEs a lot, which probably helped the running game.
Yeah, I know, since Kupp’s been gone Everette and Higbee have been on the field together a lot, but not as TEs.
Usually when Everette was in the game with Higbee he was the slot receiver (Kupp’s role).
In this game they were both on the field together as TEs. I bet the Cards didn’t expect to see that.
Heading into the playoffs I think McVay will have to continue to mix things up like that to keep defenses honest.
December 23, 2018 at 8:20 pm in reply to: reporters & analysts on Cardinals game + game stats #95587nittany ramModeratorThe sack that Strahan got that broke the record was a gift from Brett Favre. He purposely rolled out to his right and laid down in front of Strahan when the play was a called run to the left. I remember reading about how upset the Packers o-line was because they didn’t want him to set the record against them, and had worked their butts off all game to prevent it, and here Favre purposely let his buddy Strahan have it.

December 22, 2018 at 1:41 pm in reply to: Rams knew early on that Ndamukong wasn’t the same old Suh #95542nittany ramModeratorBrockers has been a huge disappointment too.
One thing McVay has failed to maintain was the dominant d-line the Rams had under Fisher. That’s mostly due to going from a 4 man front to Phillips’ hybrid 3-4 and getting rid of solid d-linemen that weren’t thought to be a good fit like Sims and Hayes. Quinn started playing really well as an OLB around the middle of last season. They miss him too.
So what was once the best d-line in the NFL is now just an average unit.
And the dramatic personnel moves the Rams made last offseason to improve the defense have pretty much blown up in their faces. I don’t fault them for that though. I like the aggressiveness they showed in trying to improve the team. In any other universe the moves they made would have propelled them to a Super Bowl.
Of course, they still could end up in the the Super Bowl. It just doesn’t feel as likely right now.
December 21, 2018 at 3:29 pm in reply to: tweets n other bits … 12/19 & 12/20 (including Gurley updates) #95506nittany ramModeratorThey may have used a quick, short passing game against the Eagles. I’m not disputing that. I just don’t think it was as effective as you do.
Rams 1st half possessions
3 plays for 4 yds punt
13 for 80 TD
2 for 19 INT
8 for 28 FG
10 for 57 FG
Half/game tied 13 – 13
1st drive of second half Philly goes 3 and out
Next four Rams possessions:
3 for 4 Punt
3 for 8 Punt
3 for 9 Int
4 for 5 Downs.
At this point the Rams offense starts to improve and they start to catch up, but how much of that is due to the Eagles playing soft?Regardless, scoring on 3 of 9 possessions including 2 INTs is not what I would consider playing well.
