    #Rams Aaron Donald: “Any time you lose playmakers and big-time players that are part of your defense that’s going to hurt you. But we’ve got guys that are going to step up and fill those shoes and be out there and productive.”

    More from #Rams Donald, if he feels any added pressure to get to the QB to help the secondary: “We need to quarterback a lot more and get him down. We’ve been getting there, but (they’ve) been getting ball out. It’s frustrating but it’s gonna come. We just have to keep working.”

    #Rams Sam Shields on potntially starting for 1st time since ’16/while dealing/w concussions most of last 2 years. “Something to show. A lot of people still want to know, is he alright? Things like that. For me it’s kind of to show people that I still got it. I can still do it.”

    People need to show Troy Hill some respect. In what was the biggest game for the franchise arguably since the 2004 playoffs…Hill had a spectacular performance. 5 targets, 0 receptions allowed. Matt Ryan’s passer rating was 39.6 when targeting him. Give him a shot on Thursday.

    ———————————————
    Rams are going to kill this pathetic team
    ———————————————
    Yep. Not going to watch
    ——————————————-
    Yes, the Rams will feast on the Vikings. This team is pathetic.
    ———————————————————————————
    I can’t argue with that. Can you imagine what Donald and Suh are going to do?
    ———————————————————————————————————
    Trolls like I said go to GB packer board you folks are are the worst band wagons jumpers ever It was 1 game.
    ——————————————
    Lol same folks who thought this would be a cakewalk game for the Vikings will think it is a slam dunk for the Rams. It wont be.
    ———————————————————
    No doubt, Frosty has a better chance of surviving in hell than the Vikings have if competing with the Rams.
    —————————————————————————-
    And here comes the Vikings apologists. Sugar coating a turd.
    ————————————————————————–
    F*cking embarassing. I dunno what else to say
    ——————————————————————-
    Zimmer sat Cook and Griffen even though they could have played if it was a playoff game.

    He saved them for the Rams game which was a mistake. That sent a message to his team that the Bills didn’t matter. Buffoonery.

    This team is going nowhere this season.
    ———————————————————————-
    I agree Zim is such a freaking turd.
    ———————————————————–
    The same Rams who got their ass kicked by us last year? Its 1 loss. Better to do it now rather than later.

    We’ll be fine.
    ——————————————————————-
    Something tells me we will be ready/more prepared on Thursday. Zimmer has had some stinkers but his squads usually follow up with a good performance. Remember the 2015 season opener against the miners? Got our ads kicked on national tv, ended up going 11-5 and going toe to toe with Denver (SB champs that year) and Arizona (went 13-3), that year. I’ve go faith in this team but obviously the Rams will be tough.
    ————————————————————————————–
    Our o line can’t block the Bill’s, simple analysis says Rams will kill us.

    ======

    My Grandma could could sack Cousins.
    ________

    OL is a massive dumpster fire.
    ________

    Worst performance in franchise history, bar none. One first down, 30 yards of total offense vs 0-24 hole against a rookie QB playing on the worst team in NFL in his 3rd start.

    Embarrassing on so many levels
    ________

    Time of possession:

    Bills: 15:12

    Vikings: 6:29

    I guess my question is… how in the world is it even THAT close?
    ________

    Alexa cancel Directv
    ________

    Thielen can’t beat a linebacker..
    ________

    No worries.
    It was estimated that the Vikings had an 87% chance of winning this game.
    Even with everything that’s gone wrong so far, we must still be favored to win.
    ________

    Vikings thought they could just show up and roll the Bills with minimum effort. I’m surprised because they usuall save these kind of zero effort performances for big games.
    _________

    And I thought our 2016 Oline was the worst in the modern era. Nope! Hey 2018….2016 thanks ya
    _________

    The only good news here is we KNOW the Vikings are better than this. They came in unprepared and overlooked the Bills. It’s happened more than a few times. Reeks of the Colts game with the season on the line in 2016 and the NFC championship game last year.
    _________

    Bills have a punter. Who knew?
    _________

    On the bright side, we can still sit our starters for the second half to save them for the Rams game
    _________

    I’m glad our whole team decided to take this week off to get extra rest in prep for the Rams this Thursday!
    _________

    Darnald(sp) and Suh, are salivating over all the Sacks they will rack up on Thursday night.
    _________

    Who again said this line was Ok? Pathetic
    _________

    The Bears’ defense will split Cousins in half. Our OLine is laughable.
    _________

    Every Viking opponent’s defensive line coach is going to show their guys this game tape and tell them that if the Buffalo G.D. Bills can own the Vikings’ offensive line, then their team sure as he!! can too.

    _________

    At some point, probably before the end of the 3rd if the Vikes don’t score, you have to consider putting Cousins on the bench just to protect him from the abuse that this offensive line is exposing him to.

    Pretty interesting nugget Sean McVay just dropped on the conference call. McVay, who has been calling offensive plays since 2015 in Washington, has a clock-management specialist on staff (Jedd Fisch) whose main focus on gameday is communicating those critical situations.

    G Austin Blythe, Los Angeles Rams, 83.7 Overall Grade

    One of the men keeping Goff clean against the Los Angeles Chargers pass-rush was right guard Austin Blythe. Blythe did not surrender a single pressure in 38 pass-blocking snaps and was one of three Rams offensive linemen to accomplish that feat. He was also very effective in opening lanes for Todd Gurley, recording a run blocking grade of 77.2.

    Lance Zierlein: http://www.nfl.com/draft/2016/profiles/austin-blythe?id=2555180

    AUSTIN BLYTHE

    6’2″
    291LBS.

    Blythe comes from an NFL offensive line factory where he started 4 years at both guard and center.

    OVERVIEW

    In the sports world, Iowa is primarily known for two things: producing NFL offensive linemen and high-level wrestling. Blythe, a Williamsburg, Iowa native, is a perfect example of how those things go hand-in-hand. He was a two-time all-state pick in football (123 career tackles, 40 for loss, 14 sacks) and three straight heavyweight wresting titles (setting a state record with 143 pins) in a state that takes the sport very seriously. He put those skills to use in his redshirt freshman season, starting nine games at right guard but missing two due to injury. Blythe didn’t miss any more games during his three final years with the Hawkeyes, starting all 40 games at center. He gained recognition for his play each year, garnering consensus honorable mention All-Big Ten honors as a sophomore and second team All-Big Ten accolades from league coaches in 2014 and 2015. Blythe was even named as a Rimington Trophy finalist this season.

    PRO DAY RESULTS
    40-yard dash: 5.37 seconds
    Vertical: 31 inches
    Broad jump: 8 feet, 3 inches
    Short shuttle: 4.5 seconds
    3-cone drill: 7.53 seconds

    ANALYSIS

    STRENGTHS Four-year starter featuring durability and leadership qualities. Has played center and both guard spots which gives him a mental head­start. Controlled glider up to inside linebackers and plays with plus body control. Patient, confident run blocker who consistently lands his blocks in the center of his targets. Keeps his feet grinding after contact to generate movement and prolonged engagement as a blocker. Sticks to opponents like a shadow and is always bodied up near his man. Excellent outside zone blocker. Uses feet and upper body strength to run gap­-shooters up the field past the quarterback. The Hawkeyes love pulling him and using as lead blocker in space. Technician able to snap and step quickly on reach blocks. Sinks hips and can anchor up against bull rushers. Good functional strength for his size. Played in over 96 percent of team’s offensive snaps over last three years.

    WEAKNESSES Undersized by every standard that NFL teams use for centers. Lack of length and mass is a legitimate concern moving forward. Has played both guard spots and center, but size likely limits him to center only in the league. Teams may view him as fit for zone specific teams which could limit his draft stock. Catches pass rushers rather than punching. Will have to adjust to defensive tackles using length to disrupt his task. Tape shows potential mental mistakes in protection against blitzes.

    BOTTOM LINE Played with consistency throughout his stint as a four-year starter at Iowa and his 2015 tape is solid from start to finish. While his lack of physical traits could hurt where he is taken in the draft, his functional strength, technical savvy, athleticism and body control should not be ignored as he has all the makings of an eventual NFL starter.

    Sean McVay remained hopeful that even if Aqib Talib does require ankle surgery, as seems likely, he might return before the end of the season.

    David J. Chao, MD@ProFootballDoc
    Surgery means this is the severest of high ankle sprains with ligament tear without associated fracture. Could easily mean season, chance of IR with late season return.

    Let’s hear impressions after you see it.

    Once again the Rams offense looks just effortless.

    I have not seen them this effective on 3rd down since the GSOT days.

    Sean McVay indicated Cooper Kupp will handle punt returns and Blake Countess will handle kickoff returns this week. Natson could return for the Seattle game, McVay said. Dominique Easley (knee) is questionable for this week.

    Sean McVay remained hopeful that even if Aqib Talib does require ankle surgery, as seems likely, he might return before the end of the season. McVay said Rams would learn more tomorrow about Marcus Peters’ short-term status.

    So on #LARams injuries: CB Aqib Talib has a more serious ankle injury that may require surgery. HC Mcvay said he will get a second opinion. CB Marcus Peters is more day-to-day with a calf injury and he has a chance to play on Thursday vs. Minnesota.

    McVay said that returner JoJo Natson had surgery today on his broken hand. Will miss this week, but has a chance to return for Week 5 at Seattle. Cooper Kupp and Blake Countess will handle punts and kickoffs in his stead.
