    I dunno what La thinks about QBs,

    they need to fix the OLine.

    Not sure they can count on Saffold.
    Definitely gotta jettison Long

    Tavon Austin is starting to look like a completely blown pick.

    I haven’t given up on him entirely, but he isn’t the contributor we thought we were getting after trading up to the #8 spot to draft him. He’s just a guy. Who apparently can’t get separation or break tackles. Which doesn’t bode well.

    Yeah, I’m not happy about Tavon,
    or Brockers for that matter.

    But in some ways i feel pretty
    optimistic about this team.

    Its a weird combination of
    talent and youth and boneheadness
    and injury-proneness and mystery.

    Bottom line though — another
    year of double-digit losses.
    Hard to take. Year Three,
    and another year of double-digit losses.

    Next year, if i am Kroenke,

    Since 1990, the Rams have had 4 seasons with a winning record.

    In only 3 of those seasons did the Rams win a playoff game. Out of 4 postseason appearances.
    In the 60s, 70s, and 80s, the Rams failed to win a Super Bowl. But it was almost always a team to be proud of. Nobody wanted to play the Rams.
    I don’t think I have a point to make. I am just at a loss that a football team could be this bad, this often, for so long.

    This is 2011 redux.

    BTW it Hayes is hurt, so is Westbrooks. That means they have 3 injured left DEs.

    They have lost or currently have injured:

    1 WR
    2 QBs
    3 OL
    3 left DEs
    2 free safeties
    3 CBs, including one on IR

    Because of shifts and replacements, that has an effect on:

    CB1, CB2, FS, left DE, LOT, LOG, OC, ROG, WR, & QB.

    10 positions.

    I don’t know how many of the injured come back when so who knows about how long this will last.

    3-4 positions with replacements? That’s just the NFL. Beyond that? It’s not the same team.

    And the defense was a mess before all that.

    I hope they can at least show some heart,
    play with pride, be scrappy.

    Looks like another top six pick next year.

    Maybe they trade down a bit and pick up
    some O Linemen and LBs. Or maybe they
    take a QB high. I dunno.

    I doubt if AustinD finishes the year
    healthy.

    Kendricks: “We struggled all across the board. It was loud out there. We couldn’t get the signals out. We couldn’t get the personnel out. So the game wasn’t really flowing for us as it may have for them. But that’s on us. We’re professionals. We play ball, too. We have to be ready for that type of stuff. I just don’t think we were ready for everything they threw at us.”

    I love to see the guy do well.

    But.

    To me, he is a very limited QB. He simply does not have the arm to truly stress good defenses.

    The game plan for him against SEA was superb. He managed the game, and then made a few plays down the stretch. That’s great …

    But it isn’t enough to support a true, Top 10 type offense.

    We stole the game with STs and taking advantage of a few opportunities. But Davis is not capable of aggressively taking on a solid defense and picking it apart. He just isn’t that good.

    I disagree. I think his arm is good enough
    to threaten in medium and deep ranges.

    I’m not sure what he is exactly yet.
    Could be a ‘Montana’ or he could be
    a ‘Dalton’. Its just too soon to say.

    Another 3-4 defense

    Rams have had their issues in pass protection against 34 defenses.

    We all remember I’m sure the sacks and fumbles that occurred in Philly against their 3-4.

    The Rams were very weak on the edges against the Niners with their 3-4. The tight ends were porous in pass pro and overall they gave up 5 sacks. Tre Mason was problematic as well.

    Well here we go again with probably the best 3-4 defense of the bunch.

    Shotty is going to have to dial up another great game and keep these guys off balance or it could be a very long day.

    Play action on early downs, 3 step drops, swings, screens and counters should be an ample part of the gameplan.

    Please give Jake Long help and if te or back is in the pattern…CHIP!!

    ===========================================
    http://www.ajc.com/news/sports/football/falcons-rookie-matthews-struggling-on-bad-ankle/nhkcG/

    by Michael Cunningham

    The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

    The peformance lately of Falcons rookie left tackle Jake Matthews suggests he’s having issues with the left ankle he injured during the season opener.

    Bears defensive end Jared Allen was able to pressure quarterback Matt Ryan on Sunday by pushing Mathews backwards with bull rushes. Matthews appeared to have trouble anchoring because of the balky ankle. Matthews allowed two sacks and five other pressures and also was penalized twice for holding.

    The previous week Matthews had so many issues in pass blocking against Giants defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul that offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter eventually provided help with running backs.

    Allen and Pierre-Paul are both effective pass rushers but it’s clear Matthews, the No. 6 overall pick in the draft, is struggling physically. Matthews sat out the Week 2 game at Cincinnati because of the ankle injury before returning to the lineup.

    Coach Mike Smith has praised Matthews’ toughness as he plays through the injury, and Koetter said Matthews also is going through some typical growing pans.

    “We’ve got to remember, Jake is six games into his rookie season,” Koetter said. “We’ve already switched him from the right to the left. Jake is a tough guy and he’s a very prideful guy. If Jake is bothered by that ankle, he would never say it. He doesn’t say anything about that. You never hear Jake complaining about anything.”
