    Week 2 officiating video sent out by the league includes a block from #LARams LB Travin Howard that was a legal blindside block because he used his butt to block instead of his head, shoulder or arm.

    Good use of the booty, Trav.

    Sean McVay says Clay Matthews (back) and Michael Brockers (shoulder) are probable to play Sunday. Eric Weddle (Concussion) has been cleared. McVay says he gave Todd Gurley a rest day.

    Since the current playoff began in 1990… The Carolina Panthers are just the 18th team to start the season 0-2 with both losses coming at home.

    To those who think there’s no difference between paying a RT or a LT, ask a QB that question. Brian Griese made it clear Monday night that he’d much rather have and LT to protect his blindside. Last night, lack of a good LT destroyed Cam Newton’s confidence.

    Geoff Schwartz@geoffschwartz
    Feels like we are headed to another Andrew Luck situation with Cam. Cam is just so beat up. Doesn’t look like he’s enjoying himself anymore. And if the Panthers don’t win this season, Tepper will clean house. Could make the decision easier for him

    The name doesn’t matter it’s the policies. When arguing with folks stress that. The Nazis sided against unions, cooperated with capitalists, and declared “the bolsheviks” their great political enemy. Doesn’t matter if the person you’re debating keeps saying “but this one goes to 11.” Ask them to name one single socialist policy the Nazis backed or implemented.

    In my experience, most of them wouldn’t know what a socialist policy was. They don’t know what socialism is. They think they do, but all they really know is the caricature of socialism portrayed by Fox News and Limbaugh.

    I find that if one is patient enough all people will listen respectfully to good rational arguments.

    Lol.

    Sorry couldn’t do that and keep a straight face.

    Every year we see QB’s playing behind bad Olines getting criticized. It is very rare for even great QB’s to play well behind a bad line, especially if you are young. Not appreciated enough in the analysis

    Rams RB Todd Gurley on last season’s NFC championship game: “I’m not going to have a good game every game. I’ve had 50-plus good games, but I’m pretty sure I’ve had five or six bad games. That’s just football.”

    Nothing would be better than Goff to put up a Minny or KC type performance on Sunday. You know he’s upset with the performance he put up against Carolina. I’m expecting the offense to go off. Also Kupp didn’t play in the NFCCG. He’s gonna be a beast on 3rd downs

    Stu Jackson@StuJRams
    #LARams DC Wade Phillips on the approach vs. RBs like Alvin Kamara:

    “I basically tell (the defense) to point them out every time. Wherever they are lined up, point them out. At least we’ll let them know, hey, we’re aware of where they are and I think it helps our players too.”

    #LARams DC Wade Phillips on LB Dante Fowler Jr.:

    “He helped our run defense and our pass defense last year. I don’t think people give him credit for the run defense.”

    #LARams DC Wade Phillips on the #Saints offense:

    “I looked at – I think they’ve got 10 guys that are 3rd round or better drafted, and all of them have really outplayed that draft status.”

    LARams HC Sean McVay on the #Saints secondary:

    “They’ve got a lot of guys that they’re consistently playing with that are really good football players. They’re put in spots that accentuate their skillsets. … They’re definitely one of the better secondaries in this league”

    #LARams head coach Sean McVay is “optimistic” about DL Michael Brockers’ (shoulder) and LB Clay Matthews’ (back) availability for Sunday’s game against the Saints.

    “Those guys are making good progress and we’ll be smart with them again today.”

    Weddle was a limited participant in Wednesday’s practice.

    I use the same argument you mention above whenever my brother thinks he’s scoring points by reminding me that the KKK was started by southern Democrats. Then I remind him which political party the modern KKK endorses. It shuts him up for about a week. Then he’ll rehash the same argument. It’s like I’m stuck in a bizarre, Trumpian Ground Hog Day time loop.

    Cosell drills home the evidence-proven fact that run-game effectiveness has no impact on how linebackers react. “They do what they’re taught.” And that’s playing the run when they see a handoff or when the OL technique shows run.

    #LARams Film: @dantefowler against Carolina looked the best he has ever looked rushing off the edge. Diverse athleticism.

    Jared Goff when I asked about the underneath zone beating throws against #Panthers with them taking the deep stuff away: “me and Sean joked about it earlier in the week, but it was a mature game for both him and myself, just taking what they gave us and not getting impatient.”

    The #Rams made a point of emphasis last offseason to come up with answers against that type of zone coverage. Jared said it takes discipline, but: “If that’s what is helping us move the offense forward and win the game, I’m all for it and last week it was.”

    Gary Klein@LATimesklein
    Cornerback Aqib Talib said Rams defensive backs watched together Monday night as Saints quarterback Drew Brees led his team to a last-second victory over the Houston Texans.

    After the Texans scored with 37 seconds left, Talib said safety Eric Weddle pointed at the television and said “Too…much…time!” Talib agreed.

    There were 3 teams who had a 120-yard rusher in week one. Those teams went 0-3.

    Tremendous praise for Rams DT Aaron Donald from Drew Brees. “I don’t even have names for all the moves he can do to get to the quarterback. You cannot block him with one guy. … He’s such an impact player, he can change a game. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen anybody like him.”

    from Rams Q&A: Vinny Bonsignore
    https://theathletic.com/1197275/2019/09/09/live-qa-with-rams-writer-vinny-bonsignore-on-tuesday-from-1-to-2-p-m-pt-2/

    They took a couple shots downfield… but I think by and large the plan against that defensive look was to work underneath a little more. I think the defense played a role, I think Sean McVay might have been thinking about his newish offensive line and trying to work faster-developing plays and I also think it’s a by-product of some different concepts He’s come up with to deal with defenses intent on limiting the longer passes the Rams have hurt opponents with. And I think long run, mastering some of those shorter concepts will pay off.

    [Goff] played poorly, I thought. Definitely a low C. But I also think it was a matter of inches, not feet, so maybe there was an adjustment to real game speed again. I do not think it’s time to worry though

    The guys I talked to were pumped about digging into the film and figuring things out – good and bad. Remember, it’s been seven months since they did that.

    From everything I’ve heard [Gurley’s] all in. And I wouldn’t get too caught up in the actual numbers as sometimes the flow of the game will dictate the final totals. For instance, if he’s the back that’s up on a particular drive, and the drive goes long and he gets more carries during it as a result, that will affect his final totals. From what I gathered after Sunday, there will be drives when it’s his turn and designated drives in which it’s Malcolm’s turn.

    Wildflecken

    1.) Uncharacteristic special teams gaffes made contest too close for comfort. Rams have benefitted from stellar teams play last two seasons. I expect Bones to get his squads up to par quickly.

    2.) Make no mistake, McVay has set his sights on winning a title. Love his approach with the running attack and firmly believe come December Rams will have one of the most feared running attacks in entire league.

    Todd Gurley remains the best running back in entire league but incorporating Malcolm Brown and Henderson into the running attack weekly presents opposing defenses with an enormous challenge before Jared Goff unleashes one ball through the air. I have been posting and patiently awaiting the Rams to unleash the beast that is Malcolm Brown for the last two seasons. This season Brown becomes a household name nationally. Come December fans of this organization are going to have a lot of fun watching this running attack operating on all cylinders.

    3.) The offensive line passed its first test of the season. The real test lies ahead however when teams have film. My take, this line will be the best run blocking offensive line Rams have had during the Sean McVay era.

    4.) How can one not be excited about the potential of this defense? They have the talent to exploit teams doubling Donald weekly and can create pressure from any spot of the field.

    Thought Fowler would benefit greatly by attending Wade’s camp. He is athletically nearly as impressive as Donald, now if he improves his consistency since entering league, Rams have another pro bowler this season.

    Wade has a lot of options this season to dial up the pressure weekly and what is shaping up to be a lockdown back end certainly will assist the effort weekly

    5.) Was anyone else impressed with Higbee’s performance?

    6.) Cooper Kupp, enough said.

    Tough test ahead next week with the Saints coming to town wanting revenge. Going to be a war and Sunday cannot come early enough

    5 interesting stats from Rams' Week 1 win: Cory Littleton makes history

    Littleton makes history with huge game

    Littleton was a big reason the Rams beat Carolina on Sunday thanks to his wildly productive day. He had 14 tackles, one interception, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery, which is a stat line no other Rams defender has ever posted, according to Pro Football Reference.

    Additionally, only one other player in NFL history has had at least 14 tackles, an interception and a fumble forced and recovered. That player is DeMeco Ryans, who did it in 2006 with the Texans.
    Forced fumbles have only been a stat since 1993, but that doesn’t take away from the game Littleton had.

    More games then any year ever before in NFL history were decided by 3 pts or less last year. And you have a strong legged kicker who figured out how to be accurate and you don’t value that?? Especially for a young team that will play close games
