Long played the slot, Ramsey bumped outside full time after Williams left. Rams donât want to be stuck in âQB avoidâ situation w Ramsey affecting so many plays so exploring rotations. Personally would be interested in Ramsey/Burgess Star rotation&seeing what Long can do as slotBy âStarâ I do not mean solely slot player, I mean moving DB who at times is featured in the slot. But I think you also get added flexibility if you can see Long grow in some slot opportunities.
Robert Rochell, who played at Central Arkansas and was a fourth-round pick this spring, came off scout team with zero live reps to prep against Seattle on a short week with only one functioning hand. Made some mistakes, but also a big EZ PBU.

Seahawks …
So not a pretty win, but one thing I like about successful teams is winning ugly “if they have to” …
It’s obvious that Stafford is still getting to know everyone … as a franchise QB he isn’t used to having to learn more than one or two guys a year.
The Great
1) Movement in the running game. We’re as passing team that can run when they want to … that matters.
2) Mediocre game for Stafford includes 365 passing yards.
3) Robert Woods reminding everyone who he is.
The Good
4) Reeder being Johnny on the spot now twice.
5) Terrell Lewis sighting … I’m a fan.
6) 1-2 punch at RB looking viable.
7) Streak breakers … Seattle hasn’t lost in that uniform or on Thursday in years. Also winning on the road is nice …
8) SJD deserve a mention for his overall pay this year … he may get us a 5th rounder.
9) Brian Allen. Hopefully he doesn’t cost that much to keep.
10) Watching us stop the early 4th down call was fun.
11) Floyd run defense.
12) AD being sack assisted rather than the assistance.
The Bad
13) I’m gonna put Stafford’s misses here until he fixes it.
14) Jefferson not getting the TD. Not only because he was live on my fantasy team.
15) Ramsey giving up the slant TD to Metcalf.
16) Being thankful for the PI by Williams … he got torched.
17) Did we give up a 90 yard TD drive to Geno Smith … ? Did that happen?
18) Our safeties are invisible in this defense.
The Ugly
19) Um … did Tutu run out of the endzone, trip over over his own feet and fumble without being touched? Was that real?
20) How is Rochell on DK Metcalf on that TD? That’s unacceptable.

Sean McVay: Darious Williams could likely go on short-term injured reserve in coming days due to the fickle nature of ankle sprains but reiterates itâs not season-ending. Says Williams wonât be available this week against NYG.Short term IR is three games, as a reminder, before activation window opens. McVay indicated other pieces are falling into place before team makes that call.

That’s very cool. Post stories. Let us know how the experience goes.
znModeratorSony Michel looks very ordinary to me.
I see a little more in Michel than you do. He’s like a more polished version of Malcolm Brown. Better vision than Brown. Makes the most of what he has. Would never be a dynamic back in any system but reliable and tough. This is not a first tier running game and in fact statistically it’s in the below avg. but I agree that it will serve them fine.

I’ve read where MS doesn’t like motion. I’m not sure I’ve read where he doesn’t like play action. I thought he did? I seem to recall he was considered good at it.
znModeratorAxel Kopun@FV_Mylia_Lynn
If McVay doesn’t get back to his bread & butter this team won’t make the SB. Stafford is damn good but he’s not elite. This team is basically averaging the same ppg & ypg as last season thru 5 games – against worse competition. I think that’s more on McVay than Stafford.Mikey Ostrowski@FF_Mikey10
Tutu Atwell with arguably the worst kick return attempt of all timeRichard Ramsey@Richard95549251
Trung Candidate beat him. He took the opening kickoff to the 2 yard line to open a season once for the Rams. Don’t forget Mike Thomas fumbling the opening KO in Fisher’s last game. Also a doozie…
znModeratorCornell29
Stafford
Its only been 5 games with new wrs that he is still trying to get his timing down with. Once he has time to build chemistry he will get the timing down. Stafford is experiencing the same issues Brady experienced early last year with Tampa. New offense new timing. He’s proven over his long career that he can air it out with accuracy.

znModeratorI honestly worry about McV’s ability to present an even keel and have his team mirror that kind of consistent controlled urgency.
His teams are too amped up sometimes, and too flat sometimes (particularly after big wins).
I honestly wonder if he gets that a team mirrors its coaches moods to an extent.
znModeratorJourdan Rodrigue@JourdanRodrigue
Sean McVay added that Leonard Floyd is OK – âjust kind of gave me a heart attack with the way he was laying there for a secondâ. Said they seemed to come out relatively clean in that heâs feeling positive about Staffordâs finger, Higbeeâs shoulder.Asked Sean McVay – as the Rams clearly showed willingness to re-shuffle secondary even prior to Williamsâ injury – about whether weâd see Terrell Burgessâ role expand: âTerrell is a guy who you want to get going. I have a lot of belief and confidence in Terrell. You want to see
if thatâs something that comes to life when we get back (from the mini-bye).â
Sean McVay went for about five minutes on rookie CB Robert Rochell and how many positive, buildable things they saw from him Thurs including the way he used his length of frame, short-area quickness and how even-keel he was through mistakes.
Sounds like heâll continue to start.
Jalen Ramsey said that CB Robert Rochell was unflappable through a few down moments despite making his first start as a rookie in a hostile environment. The DBs were talking him up after a couple moments, he said, but Rochell didnât even need it because he stayed even-keeled.
No QB in a healthy state of mind WANTS to be throwing at Ramsey. But his coverage plan makes it really, really hard to intentionally avoid him now. Rams thin at players who can unlock that versatility as they monitor Williams’ status.
They moved Long into the slot when Williams left the game (he had not played a single snap there all season nor did to my knowledge in camp). Burgess played some slot, some Star and has played (and practiced) a little CB. We’ll see what happens – longer recovery week helps too.
znModeratorCouldn't confirm without the film but the Rams really kept calling the same play over and over again last night and SEA could not stop it. I don't recall ever seeing a pass play called this many times in a NFL game. pic.twitter.com/W2GRNZtK3H

znModeratorJon Gruden used a racist trope to describe executive director of the NFL Players Association DeMaurice Smith in a 2011 email, the Wall Street Journal reports.
https://www.si.com/nfl/2021/10/08/jon-gruden-used-racial-trope-demaurice-smith-email
âDumboriss Smith has lips the size of Michelin tires,â Gruden wrote in a July 2, 2011, email to then Washington general manager Bruce Allen, according to the report. Gruden then was a commentator for ESPN.
At the time, the NFL was in negotiations with Smith’s NFLPA to try and end a lockout.
Gruden, now the coach of the Raiders, told the Wall Street Journal that he didn’t recall writing the email but that he’s “really sorry,” saying he was frustrated with Smith and the NFLPA at the time. He added that he used the term “rubber lips” to describe anyone he thought was lying.
âI was upset,â Gruden told the WSJ. âI used a horrible way of explaining it. I donât think heâs dumb. I donât think heâs a liar. I donât have a racial bone in my body, and Iâve proven that for 58 years.â

znModeratorHacked Oath Keepers membership roster reveals NYPD and GOP officials
In August, right-wing racist fascism cosplay group the Oath Keepers were highlighted on CBSâs 60 Minutes. During an interview, Arizona Oath Keeper leader Jim Arroyo boasted, âOur guys are very experienced. We have active-duty law enforcement in our organization that are helping to train us. We can blend in with our law enforcement and in fact, in a lot of cases, our training is much more advanced because of our military backgrounds.â Oath Keeper founder Stewart Rhodes has also boasted a large swath of current and retired law enforcement in the groupâs ranks. The fact that at least 31 law enforcement officers across 12 states were being investigated for their part in the attempted coup dâetat at the Capitol building on Jan. 6, 2021, should have been a red flag for even the most naive among us.
On Thursday, Gothamist and WNYC reported on a joint investigation the two news outlets conducted of online records purporting to show links between the New York Police Department and a secret membership database of Oath Keepers. According to the outlets, âhacked membership records were sent to a transparency nonprofit group called Distributed Denial of Secrets (DDoSecrets), which shares leaked data with journalists and researchers.â The leaked data does not show whether or not a member is still active, but the current or one-time members in question are definitely still active in New York as officials and officers.
A spokesman for Mayor de Blasio told Gothamist that there will be an investigation: “The Oath Keepers are a vile, extremist, anti-government organization. An immediate internal investigation has been launched.”
The Oath Keepers were founded by Stewart Rhodes in 2009 after President Obamaâs inauguration, with calls by Rhodes for a new âcivil warâ to take place in our country. In recent years, with the rise of Donald Trump and the white supremacist foundation of the GOP becoming completely flagrant, the Oath Keepers have been able to reemerge from their doomsday-prepper caves in full jilted-bigot regalia. Being involved with the Oath Keepers is to be involved with a domestic terrorist organization, birthed out of racism against our countryâs first, and so far only, Black president.
According to Gothamist, there are at least three New York public officials listed in the membership logs who claim they are no longer active members of the group. Their names were not published. However, the responses reporters got when they tried to contact various folks on the membership logs showed a real caginess that does not generally imply innocence. One of those matches was an active Staten Island officer who works in the Strategic Response Groupâa group âdeployed to quell protests, including those that erupted in New York City last year in response to the murder of George Floyd.â
When WNYC/Gothamist called the phone number associated with that membership entry, a man answered but did not confirm whether or not he was the officer in question. When asked if he was a member of the Oath Keepers, the man paused and asked how his number was obtained. He then declined to answer further questions.
Oswego County, NYâs 25th District Legislator Ralph Edward Stacy Jr., a Republican (gasp/eye roll), is also on the leaked membership list. He told Gothamist that it has been a very long time since he had filled out a membership for the never-not-racist-and-fascist organization, but that he hadnât interacted with the group for over a decade.
âI do not condone what happened at the Capitol building and was not involved in what occurred,â said Stacy, who said he had never spoken to anyone involved with the organization and made clear he had not participated in the Capitol riot. âI certainly do believe in the right to peaceful assembly to protest one’s cause, but I do not believe in any sort of criminal trespass or criminal activity as a means to an end.â
In March, New York Daily News reported that active-duty officer Sal Greco, who was getting money from Trump surrogate and super-sketchy rich guy Roger Stone, was being investigated for his part as a possible under-the-table bodyguard for Stone. Stone used Oath Keepers as bodyguards during his time in D.C. around the Jan. 6 insurrection. The Daily News report connected Greco to the Oath Keepers circumstantially and through a strange Venmo account.
Roger Stone(R), former advisor to US President Donald Trump arrives at court prior to his sentencing hearing on February 20, 2020 in Washington, DC. – Donald Trump’s longtime aide Roger Stone will be sentenced February 20, 2020 in a case that has caused a stir in Washington following meddling by the US president and his attorney general. Stone, one of the Republican leader’s allies and “oldest friends,” was convicted in November of lying to Congress, tampering with a witness and obstructing the House investigation into whether the Trump campaign coordinated with Russia to cheat in the 2016 election.

Former Republican candidate for New Yorkâs 6th Congressional district, Thomas Zmich, told Gothamist/WNYC that, while he had been part of the New York chapter of the Oath Keepers, that was a suuuuuper long time ago. [Cough] Three years ago, the New York chapter closed, which is when Zmich says he stopped being in the organization. While in Trump years that may feel like a lifetime ago, in the objective reality the rest of us live in, three years ago is three years ago.None of this is surprising to readers around these parts. One of the larger national groups of fascist-wannabe seditionists congregated at our countryâs Capitol on January 6 of this year. Law enforcement officials who fought bravely to defend our democracy testified in open court as to the disappointment and dangers they saw that dayâincluding some insurrectionist cops. As the weeks have passed, more and more evidence has shown that Oath Keepers, amongst others, were very much involved in a conspiracy that day.
In recent weeks, the FBI has made it clear that they are pursuing a âseditious conspiracyâ investigation. Oath Keepers have cut plea deals and more than a dozen other Oath Keepers are looking down the barrel of whatever the snitches and prosecutors have on them. This investigation is directly connected to the Oath Keepersâ presence in Washington D.C. on Jan. 6.
