“….

When the Cardinals make the trip to Los Angeles, they’ll be without both starting offensive tackles.

Coach Jonathan Gannon announced on Tuesday that right tackle Jonah Williams, who injured his knee against the Panthers, will be out, as is left tackle Paris Johnson Jr. for the second consecutive game.

Gannon doesn’t usually announce injury designations this early in the week, however, he knew the bookend tackles would not be available for Saturday. With running back James Conner also nursing a knee injury, not having key contributors to the offensive line could make it a challenge to establish a run game against the Rams’ stout defensive front.

With two games left on the schedule, Gannon did not rule out Williams and Johnson for the remainder of the season.

Versatile tackle Kelvin Beachum filled in for Johnson (knee) last weekend and is now slated to make his 11th start of the season. Jackson Barton, an offensive tackle on the practice squad, had started against the Lions and stepped in place of Williams in Carolina. The Cardinals also have rookie offensive tackle Christian Jones on the roster.

If Barton is to play again, he will have to be signed to the 53-man roster, since the Cardinals have used up his three practice squad elevations…”

Btw, nobody’s mentioned it, but I know you guyz had to be thinking the same thing i was, when I saw the Higbee leap into the endzone. There is just no way he should have been able to fly that far. I totally expected him to land about the one yard line, at most. That was just ridiculous.

So, as of today, the rams would play the Packers?

Rex Ryan had predicted the Rams offense would have problems, because “the rams dont have any speed” and because they had trouble against San Fran, and the Jets “run the exact same defense”.

Anyway, good win. Losing teams find a way to lose.

Glad McVay just decided to pound the ball today, and let the Jets find a way to lose.

weather forecast is for rain and cold positivity snow. Thursday night was a tune up. Get Kyren and Corum ready

If all snow were positivity snow I’d live in the happiest place on Earth.

‘Cold Positivity Snow’ ?

We shall see.

“trap game” — peepulz iz picking the Jets

I believe the Lions also lost three MORE starters on defense, during the Bills game. Man.

Either way the issues with the Rams D right now are not LB, it’s the secondary, including all the flags against Buffalo. Speights is getting some praise at ILB and ranks pretty well against the run. Jones ranks pretty well against the run too but is no coverage LB.

You sure about that? I dunno, but the linebackers have not flashed to me. They just seem like ‘guys’ to me.

But if thats true that they are at least solid, thats good news. That would mean this D could be menacing next year. Only secondary holes to fill. Thats doable in one year.

“Kevin Dotson has been a stud”

Indeed.

One of the celebrity pundits noted that for a long time, during the Shanahan dominance of McVay, the 49ers were usually the more physical team. They just beat the rams up. But lately maybe the Rams are, at least, as physical. I dunno.

Only saw the highlights. The weather doesnt really show up in the highlights. I guess it played a big part? So, its not really just the ‘defense finally showed up’ – its more like neither teams offense could handle the weather?

Great win. I did not think that would happen.

I will continue to pick against the rams, however, as it does seem to be working.

Go Rams,
