Another random fact you might not know: Penei Sewell [the Detroit LOT] and Puka Nacua are cousins.znModeratormine shows up when i post.
it’s the Invader Zim avatar. fourth from the top and fourth from the left.
Yeah we knew yours so it got fixed. But I didn’t know everybody’s!
znModeratorHappy to be on this board. Ram fan since the 60s!
LadocHowdy. Welcome aboard. We’re not a fast, “post a second kind” of board but a solid community (with a game day live chat room).

znModeratorThis is a long subject. Way too much for me to type.
Yeah I hear ya. But this time it was kind of frustrating. Harris wasn’t even offering Bernie’s watered down social democracy stuff, she was offering solid, ordinary demand-side proposals (for example she knows that you create jobs by encouraging small businesses not big business). Not leftist stuff, just solid, ordinary centrist stuff. It’s not that people turned that down, per se, they never even heard about it. All they know is that with Harris, criminal Mongol invasion level woke immigrants hordes would be taking their guns so they could force “regular” people’s kids to turn trans.

Nick Bosa had Baker Mayfield (and a victory) in his hands but couldn’t pull him down. Mayfield gets it to White to convert on fourth-and-7..

November 10, 2024 at 4:08 pm in reply to: Any interest in other games today? with Rams on MNF #153236znModeratorThe games in the West division include:
9ers at Bux
Jets at Cards
Seattle has a bye
Interesting non division games include … well on paper, Steelers at Commanders looks good.
I probably won’t watch any but will check scores.
9ers won.
Steelers won.
Now let’s hope the Jets can do the Rams a favor.
znModeratorbut qb. that’s the one thing left.
And maybe CB too.
They have tended to buy their CBs.
znModeratorRams have been drafting crazy good.
And developing the players too.
znModeratorRams vs Dolphins Week 10 Preview
Gruden gets testy in this one. 😄 He doesn’t like the attention the Shanahan system gets, and Miami HC McDonald coached with KS in SF.
znModeratorznModeratorFrom https://www.lafbnetwork.com/los-angeles-rams/los-angeles-rams-news/mismatch-in-dolphins-mnf/
The Dolphins rank 15th in EPA allowed per designed carry. There is one exception, though — when they face runs deploying duo, where the offensive line uses double-teams against the defensive line and the running back reads the linebackers to determine which gap to hit.
On such runs, they’re surrendering 5.5 yards per carry (31st in the NFL) and 0.11 EPA per carry (27th). The sample isn’t huge (46 plays), so this could just be noise, but it’s a pretty unideal number when you have to face the Rams.
The Rams run duo 40% of the time, per ESPN/NFL Next Gen Stats tracking, by far the most in the league (Giants are second at 31%). And things could be worse for the Dolphins if Los Angeles gets interior linemen Steve Avila (knee) and Jonah Jackson (shoulder) back from injured reserve.
znModeratorHe does the Rams at 4:20 in.

znModeratorYeah, Rich can restore the avatars manually a case at a time, but I don’t remember everyone’s!
znModeratorThe David Brooks piece in the NY Times is getting a lot of attention.
The problem with that entire argument is that it acts like the racism and sexism and transphobia etc of the Trump voter is just this superficial thing and they’re voting for their economic interests.
It’s bs. They’re voting AGAINST their economic interests.
They’re voting FOR their race, gender, cis, straight, anti-immigrant prejudices. That’s how they’re conned into voting against their economic interests.
It’s just another weak version of the “class is everything” argument claiming there is a working-class wisdom to the Trump vote. Well, no, and puke. If there;s any group of people who vote most blindly against their own economic interests it’s Trump voters.
The whole “class is everything” approach is invariably done wrong. Plus it has the added drawback of dividing the left. To me an actual, real class analysis of this election would focus on the ways in which Trump voters routinely vote directly against their own class interests.
znModeratorInjury Report, Week 10 vs. Dolphins: Christian Rozeboom, Kam Curl and Kevin Dotson questionable but McVay optimistic about availability; Steve Avila and Jonah Jackson expected to be activated off of Injured Reserve; Rob Havenstein and Neville Gallimore ruled out
znModeratorPFF LA Rams@PFF_RamsMatthew Stafford can take advantage of the blitz-heavy Dolphins defense Stafford has accumulated 734 passing yards against the blitz this season, ranking 8th among QBs. He’ll face a Dolphins defense that blitzes at the 4th highest rate in the league, making for a plus matchupznModerator.@RamsNFL @Jay_Mccollough2 with his 4th INT last week in another OT game.

znModeratorLos Angeles Rams PR@TheLARamsPRSince Week 7, The Rams offensive line has given up just one sack, the fewest across the NFL in that span. They are also the only team in the league to not allow a sack over the past two games. The Rams are one of just five teams to accomplish the feat in consecutive games this season.znModeratorTom Pelissero@TomPelissero#Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill was added to the injury report and didn’t practice today because of a wrist injury..Cameron Wolfe@CameronWolfeDolphins WR Tyreek Hill is dealing with a wrist injury that is “heating up” and has forced him to miss practice time. HC Mike McDaniel told local reporters “if his body lets him, we’ll see” so there is some uncertainty on Tyreek’s availability for Monday vs. Rams.znModerator.@insidetheNFL quickly turned into our favorite football show. It’s phenomenal, highly recommend tuning into every episode. @JOEL9ONE selected #Rams defensive line coach Giff Smith as his “football guy” of the week, for multiple reasons…

znModeratori feel like the rams haven’t had that kind of personality in awhile. maybe since london fletcher? i don’t know. reminds me of guys like kevin greene and john randle.
That’s a good comparison.
Plus right now, or so far anyway, looks like Shula knows how to deploy them.

znModeratorroberto clemente@rclemente2121nfl oddity: no super bowl era team has come close to owning the rams as much the miami dolphins, the rams are a crazy 2-12 against the fins. that said, of the 14 dolphin teams the rams have faced, only 3 finished the year with a losing record. time for some payback!znModeratori could not have been more wrong about verse and fiske.
This whole draft is amazing. Here I red-bold all the players who are contributing either as starters, injury replacements, or role players on offense or defense. I count Corum because although he has not been highly productive, he has proven he could be if the need arose.
2024 Draft Picks
1 (19): EDGE Jared Verse, Florida State
2 (39): DI Braden Fiske, Florida State
3 (83): RB Blake Corum, Michigan
3 (99): S Kamren Kinchens, Miami Fl.
5 (154): EDGE Brennan Jackson, Washington State
6 (196): DI Tyler Davis, Clemson
6 (209): K Joshua Karty, Stanford
6 (213): WR Jordan Whittington, Texas
6 (217): C Beaux Limmer, Arkansas
7 (254): IOL KT Leveston, Kansas StatePlus 2 rookie UDFAs:
McCollough
SpeightsIn terms of just the draft picks, that’s 7 clear hits, or 70%–and in grading drafts, a 50% hit rate is considered exceptional.
