327 yard passer with a 98 QB ratiing and 3 TD passes
121 rushing yards.
I’ll take that any day.
If we can get the defense squared away this could still be a hell of a season.

Yes, the offense has been intriguing. But Dallas had a huge weakness
at Linebacker (two starters out) and Brian S and Austin D exploited it
masterfully. But I still wanna see how the O performs against the tough
NFC West defenses. So far, the offense is cause for optimism.I’ve only watched the first half so far, but Austin D was
impressive in the first half.w
vwvParticipantWell…This thread is rather pointless now. But for those who didn’t see it there was a nasty fight in the stands. Women were throwing punches…guys falling downstairs…blood…ejections…A real mess.
So. This was your sinister attempt
to sneak a Jerry Springer thread
onto this Oprah board.Well, as you can see,
your plot was foiled.w

BatmanwvParticipantThese calls seem to have been consistently bad in a couple of the games this season…
OK – hastily concocted conspiracy theories aside -I’m thinking all Ram fans needed a hug yesterday – even the bad ass ones. And, I had to hug myself – that’s not right.
Apparently its not a penalty to
Hug Robert Quinn, continuously.w
vwvParticipantI think James Harris should start.
No wait, I mean Jaworski.
Not Haden though ; he’s too short.…What if Hill starts and
throws for 400 yards —
what then?w

but it doesn’t mean much IMO unless he apologizes in person.
And maybe a
hug.Maybe its not his

September 22, 2014 at 6:05 pm in reply to: This is what happens to teams that are poorly coached. #8251wvParticipantIs it fair to say Greg Williams was outcoached
in two of the three games so far?Plenty of points given up in those games.
Not a lot of takeaways by the D.
Only one sack.Has GW been outcoached twice now?
Yes? No?
Too simplistic a statement?
Maybe its the Personnel? Injuries?
Youth? Players not suited to scheme?Seemed like GW did pretty well last
year with the Titans.I dunno.

vwvParticipantI’m not happy.
I’ve already decided to punish the Rams by not watching them next Sunday.
Kind of a one week boycott.That is unforgivable.
You are Unforgiven.w

Will Munny: Yeah.

I think he/his staff has to do something about the mental mistakes and penalties though. I know the Rams are a young team, but I need to see some improvement.
What do you think of Austin Davis so far?
w
vwvParticipantWell, I’d say the Eagles game is
a “big game.” Yes?How will the Fisher-script
look?Will it be a story of improvement
and adjustment like last year.Or will the Rams defense be mistake-prone
and the team look undisciplined and lost.Or, some other story.
Nothing would surprise me at this point.
I mean, it almost looks like the Quarterback
issue is the LEAST of their problems — who
would have thot ‘that’ ?If they get routed after two weeks to prepare,
I’m gonna start watching Oprah on sundays.w
vwvParticipant=================
LMU93 — The Little Things Add UpThe 2nd 4th and 1 call.. Good decision to go for it. Bad call on a slow developing counter play..
Two bad PIs..
A terrible call on the roughing the QB on Sims. Just an awful call..
Wells botched snap. He continues to be the weak link of their offense.
The drop by Cook.. I knew right there they were losig that game.
But to me THE MOST baffling thing about this team is having one QB sack in 3 games.. I don’t know what is happening there.. They consistently rushed/blitzed with 5-6 guys and got absolutely nowhere. Stonewalled most plays. As bad as the blown coverage was on the TD to Bryant the lack of pass rush hung them out to dry too. This team isn’t 1-2 because Bradford got hurt. They’re 1-2 mainly because the defense hasn’t performed nearly up to expectations. The run defense was MUCH better yesterday- in fact almost dominant apart from the 20 and 44 yard runs. But again the lack of almost any pressure on opposing QBs is baffling to me….
I’ll also say I really like what Davis has done at QB. The kid deserves a ton of credit. He’s limited but he’s tough, he’s emotional, gutsy, the team responds to him, and he moves around really well. I think Bradford gets sacked 5-6 times yesterday in that game.. I hope Fisher sees the offense flying around Davis and lets him keep playing.
=================================wvParticipantI want an apology from the defense and the refs…and I want a Jerry Springer quote.

bradford played very well when he had that running game going. so people shouldn’t be going way overboard with this. i wanna see how he performs when it’s all on him.
Well it sounds like we kinda know how
he performs when its “all on him” —
he throws INTs. A lot like Romo,
actually.w
vSeptember 21, 2014 at 9:23 pm in reply to: A QB controversy and a Tight-End controversy: game reactions #8138wvParticipantWell, last year the season started with the 5th game. Maybe the bye week changes that?
Well, if this is preseason game 3,
then i think they should rest the starters
next game.w
vwvParticipantI am never forgiving wv for quoting Oprah on a football board.
Oprah could hold a 21 point lead.

September 21, 2014 at 9:15 pm in reply to: A QB controversy and a Tight-End controversy: game reactions #8131wvParticipantNo QB controversy here: Austin Davis should start for Rams
By Nick WagonerEven after Davis went 30-of-42 for 327 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions in the Rams’ 34-31 loss to the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday, Fisher wouldn’t waver.
“No, I’ve stood behind that decision,” Fisher said.
Given some time to reflect on the upcoming bye week, perhaps Fisher will give it more thought….
I dont really care who starts — I think either choice is reasonable.
And if the starter falters, Fisher can always
bring in the other QB.The thing is, it looks like Austin D had a good running game
going today. (yes?) I’d like Wagoner to show me
the numbers on ram-QBs when the running game
has been clicking.
And the QB-ratings when the running game
has NOT been clicking.w
vwvParticipantI am forgiving Cook for this.
“True forgiveness is when you can say,
‘Thank you for that experience.’”

That image of Coy Bacon is from a stamp in the “NFL Action 72″ stamp book. You got some stamps when you purchased gasoline at Sunoco stations. Thanks to my dad and one of his friends I have the complete collection.
Aaron Donald reminds me a bit of Coy Bacon.
They both had speed and power.w
vwvParticipantHill…uses a quicker release to throw with more velocity than Davis. That’s what Fisher and Schottenheimer see daily.
First, I think this is a nice problem to have.
But…to me, it’s important to have a sense of what each qb can do.
Near as we can tell so far, it seems entirely plausible that Hill can make some of the throws Davis can’t.
I dont have any doubt there’s throws Hill can make
that Austin D cant. Hill has a quicker release
and a stronger arm.
Austin D has better mobility right now,
certainly.
They both seem like gamers,
to me.Austin D had the benefit of a running game in Tampa.
The Rams had zero-running game vs. the Vikings.
To me, that makes a world of difference in how
the QB is going to look.w
vwvParticipantSeptember 20, 2014 at 6:51 pm in reply to: All 22 with Will Witherspoon: FG Block – Pettis Catch #8024wvParticipant=======================
Laram (on the Davis to Pettis pass)Nice play design forcing a nickel sub-package, one on one coverage, but poor execution by Austin Davis IMO.
Watch how fast Goldson reads the play backside and gets to Pettis front side of the formation.. He totally ignored Cook running right across his face.
When you see a safety break-off that quickly he’s either read a tendency, or the qb has led him with his eyes, where the ball is going.
IMO had Austin froze him in the middle, Pettis possibly scores on the play.
OR…
Moved Goldson and Brian Quick backside has one on one coverage and probably has a TD.
Nice play but all things considered, it could have been better.
If I’m Shotty that’s a teaching moment and a play I comeback to.
JMO.
========================September 20, 2014 at 4:38 pm in reply to: If Davis plays well against Dallas, is he the starter? #8020wvParticipant….But after a while, defenses figure you out,
and at that point, you need to have something to give them pause.Exactly.
He’s accurate which is great, but man
that looks like a popgun arm to me.
On the bomb that Quick dropped it looked
like Austin D really loaded up and heaved it.
It looked like it took everything he had
to make that throw.I’d like to take Bradford’s arm and
torso and attach them to Austin D’s
knees.I dunno. Maybe Davis will be a Montana.
We’ll see.w

September 20, 2014 at 4:33 pm in reply to: All 22 with Will Witherspoon: FG Block – Pettis Catch #8019wvParticipantI like Will W, but he is a work in progress.
As a tv-celebrity he needs to work on his
dull-monotone delivery.
He also doesnt really do much ‘analysis’
of the X’s and O’s of the plays. He’s
the expert right — he oughta teach
me stuff. He dont. He just kinda
reruns the plays over and over.
Well hell, i could do that.I assumed Will W would bring more
‘analysis’ than Softli did.
Not so far.wv critic

and it would not surprise me to see
Casey Austin ‘Case’ Keenum
starting by game 8.But, if Austin D puts together
a good game against Dallas,
(which i am not expecting)
then yeah, i might be in favor
of starting him for a while.
Just to see. Hill can always
come in if he needs to.w
