This has a lot to do with the linebackers IMO.

Either they get caught out of position or can’t get off a block or miss tackles.

If the Rams clean that up things will change.

Well, maybe its several things. I dunno.
I suspect its partly just that GW’s scheme is
more vulnerable to big plays than Walton’s was.
There’s some youth involved too.

I dunno. I kinda think they will get better.
But we’ll see.

It’ll be very interesting to see what
they think they need next year.

Yeah, i don’t see any reason to
expect a win on the Road against
a well-coached team.

But Philly turned the ball over
four times in their close loss
to the 49ers — maybe they will
be generous again 🙂

One thing we know for sure-
Eugene Simms will probly
be called for a phantom penalty.

Thot this was interesting:

Wagoner: “…There have been times when the Rams haven’t gotten to the quarterback and it’s opened passes up over the middle of the field. But to me, the Rams need to get better play from their linebackers, safeties and corners working out of the slot. They like to use safety T.J. McDonald in the box on a consistent basis, and though that’s where he’s best used, they do it so often that it leaves the other safety, Rodney McLeod, fending for himself on the back end a lot. Beyond that, it seems like middle linebacker James Laurinaitis is being asked to do too much back there, being used almost like he’s working in a Cover 2.
Either way, the Rams certainly can’t afford to be soft in the middle of the field against Zach Ertz and Darren Sproles this week.”

I have no idea what to expect
from either team.

To state the obvious,
the Rams OLine will have to create
holes for Stacy if the Rams
are to have a chance in hell.

Makes total sense. It’s not like we are deciding between Montana and Young here. These are two lifetime backups. Davis has the hot hand, has proven himself, and shows those intangibles you don’t get through practice alone. No one really sees the Rams winning this division without SB now anyway. Lets run with the good feelings as long as we can.

Well after having watched AustinD,
I dont think of him as a
“lifetime backup” anymore.
I”m not sure what he is,
but I think he might be
an NFL starting-QB.
I dunno.

There were about three plays
he made against Dallas where
i went “damn!.”
Escape-and-Pass plays.
Russell Wilson type plays.

Sounds to me like much supposition but not much concrete in RK’s position. I’d say that anybody can come up with “I think” and “I believe” reasons the Rams will be back in LA but I’ll believe it when I see it. So, Go Rams!

Where do you want them to play?

Well, aint that inter esting.

Not sure running Faulk more in the first half
was the answer. I’ve heard that idea before,
but i dunno. If I’m an opposing coach,
i ‘want‘ the GSOT to run the ball.

If i remember right what was effective in the second half
was the short passing game. I think.
I’m like London —
i havent wanted to rewatch it.

The Patz lose their legendary OL coach (Dante Scarnecchia) and trade away Mankins, and suddenly Brady doesn;t look as good.

I wonder if there’s a connection.
