“I like valencia oranges.”
Anyway, think about it though–how many teams in NFL history had 2 guys who drew double teams?
I think with virtually every great defense, if you replaced one guy from the DL, it wouldn’t be as good. (The “as” is important there.) Sapp? Greene? Page? Kirksey?
Well, Quinn is the onliest player on this team who regularly draws a double-team
I think. Maybe Cook from time to time.But I’d like to see a WR on this team emerge to the point where
he draws a double-team.w
vFirst Black School Chief Speaks Out After Forced Resignation
http://www.democracynow.org/2014/8/18/institutional_racism_in_ferguson_first_blackI really think they are going to “unveil” this defense like a new hot rod at an Auto Show…
Or like the Eagles Offense last year. If we all know Greg Williams at all, it will be a statement game. He’ll want ESPN to LEAD with talk of the Rams Defense…
Which means he really won’t care much about the preseason insofar as he won’t want to give ANYTHING away.
Well, i guess were gonna find out
if the Rams can stop the Run.
I think the Vikings have a
purty good RB if I’m not mistaken.You know, if the North-men
kapp-size the Rams
we’re all gonna have to deal
with the terrible-WRATH

vIt really seemed to my friend and me, watching from row MM, that the defense was almost deliberately being handicapped. It’s one thing to mostly stay in base defense and not use much in the way of blitzes, trickery, etc. But the Rams D just stayed STOCK STILL. There was no motion, no checking into other alignments in response to O-shifts. Just, “see if you can stop them from this formation” test, again and again.
Fisher was doing something. Maybe testing the secondary, maybe something else. But that WAS NOT the style of defense they will field for the regular games. It just wasn’t. And no Laurinaitis, I think that’s a factor. He’s a pretty good field general for the defense, didn’t see anyone really filling that role for the Rams this game.
Doesn’t excuse missed tackles when guys had the chance, but it does explain some of the giant holes.
Yeah, and against an elite QB and veteran offense, that kind of approach is going to get a defense
carved up. But it will also give the D coaches a lot of plays to look at 🙂
And it gives the secondary players some plays and experience against a great QB.
I think they wanted to see some one-on-one stuff.I dunno, cause i’m no expert, but it seemed to me that Joy-ner
did ok for a rookie. The game does not seem to big for him, imho.
He reminded me a bit of last years version of Ogletree — a bit confused
but you can see the talent.What else did you see from the M&M row?
