8:15 PM ET — San Francisco 49ers at Los Angeles Rams

I've been wanting to try this meal for years, Chilaquiles, My wife and I finally stumbled on the opportunity to share it together. It was incredible. We had the green sauce style.

I am jonesing to make my own style tomorrow night! Does anyone have recipe they want to share? preference red/green?

CHILAQUILES

Saw the injury report and those are the only two listed.

Hav with an ankle and Higbee with a hip.

So who would be our right tackle? Quessensberry?

Do we finally get to see Ferguson dressed?

I like the idea of the second part, I'm okay with the first part.

A legendary animal conservationist, she just passed at the age of ninety-one. A full life, and a good life. I only wish to inspire and change the world as she did.

This seems to work well for us at times (and other teams).

I feel like we should go to this more, not even just when the offense is struggling but for entire drives even early in the game.

Thoughts?

Rams GM Les Snead gives his take on Terrance Ferguson's slow start: 'Not there yet'​

Snead says Ferguson is 'not there yet' but his time is 'definitely coming'​

One of the more puzzling storylines surrounding the Los Angeles Rams in the early part of this season has been Terrance Ferguson’s absence on offense. He’s played just four offensive snaps in four games, all of them coming in Week 2, and has been a healthy scratch in each of the last two weeks.

The Rams are deep at tight end with Tyler Higbee, Colby Parkinson and Davis Allen, but Ferguson was their top pick at No. 46 overall and was viewed as one of the most talented tight ends in the class. Yet, he still doesn’t have a catch and hasn’t even been able to get on the field the last two weeks.


Sean McVay has remained optimistic about the rookie and expressed confidence in him, but how does general manager Les Snead feel about Ferguson’s slow start? He was asked by J.B. Long on the “Coach McVay Show” Monday about Ferguson not being involved in the game plan thus far and he said the rookie is “just not there yet,” but his time is “definitely coming.”

“We have a really good subset of offensive players, some of them with a lot of experience,” Snead said. “But not there yet – and not necessarily in what he can and can't do. He had a really, really good practice last week. Just think about this: He’s our first pick and he has to go to our practice field as a scout team and put on the jersey of Mr. (Tyler) Warren. I’m sure they respect each other, same draft class, but he really, really did a nice job of acting like him and that’s where you can see his skill set. So it’s definitely coming. I know Sean wants to insert him so you’re going to take some of the load off of Puka and Davante because we’re only four games through, we’re in Week 5 and we’ve got a lot more left and hopefully some bonus weeks after that. I think that’s where we’re at. I understand the frustration part. I can’t imagine what he’s going through sometimes, but I would say just not there yet. Getting there.”

The Rams have a long-term outlook for Ferguson, even if that means he won’t be involved much this season.


“Again, nothing he’s done, but he is probably more equipped today than yesterday to help the Rams because the more he goes out, continues to evolve in the nuances of what we’re trying to do. So as the weeks go on, he’ll only be more ready to play,” Snead added.

What’s especially frustrating about Ferguson’s lack of involvement is the minimal production the Rams are getting from their tight ends right now. Combined, Higbee, Parkinson and Allen have 14 catches for 97 yards and two touchdowns this season.


ADVERTISING

They’re not making big plays as receivers and though they are helping as blockers, the Rams badly need someone else to step up and take some of the pressure off of Puka Nacua and Davante Adams as the top targets.

Ferguson was a top-tier receiving tight end at Oregon and is elusive after the catch, unlike the Rams’ other players at that position. Sooner or later, he should get on the field but if he’s only relegated to scout team duties right now, it might be a little while before he makes a noticeable impact.

HUGE for us!

offense​

• WR Puka Nacua: 92.6
• TE Davis Allen: 84.6
• QB Matthew Stafford: 82.2
• TE Colby Parkinson: 79.5
• LG Justin Dedich: 74.1
• RB Kyren Williams: 71.6
• WR Davante Adams: 68.4
• RG Kevin Dotson: 62.5
• TE Tyler Higbee: 59.3
• WR Jordan Whittington: 50.9
• RB Blake Corum: 44.3
• RT Rob Havenstein: 43.1

defense​

• S Kamren Curl: 93.9
• OLB Jared Verse: 93.6
• DT Kobie Turner: 80.6
• NT Poona Ford: 78.3
• S Jaylen McCollough: 77.6
• OLB Byron Young: 67.6
• CB Cobie Durant: 65.6
• LB Nate Landman: 51.8
• LB Omar Speights: 47.4
• DL Braden Fiske: 43.0
• DB Quentin Lake: 40.8
• CB Emmanuel Forbes Jr.: 34.3

I really hope that oblique injury is the reason for the decline in Fiske play. They need him to be a disruptor. Other than that fumble recovery haven't seen much from him. Nice rebound by Dedich. Anyway, have at it.

Hope I'm not stepping on any toes. This has got to be one of the most uninformed posts I have ever seen by any fan. When are they getting Dweebo back?

I don't think Brock has it in him to play scared. That's not his game. The people in this thread asking him to turn into Alex Smith are going to be disappointed. He was off on some throws yesterday, but I hope that he doesn't let that change his mentality.

I think once his foot mostly heals and we get Aiyuk, Deebo, Kittle, and Ben Bartch back we'll be fine. If we're honest, this offense has never looked particularly good without Kittle.

So.. Roster wise.. where are the Rams at, in your mind? Are they better or worse than they were at the end of the season, in your mind? Compared to the start of last season?

Not a super deep dive.. but.. general thoughts:

Quarterback:
Same, and that's not a bad thing.

Running back:
Better. Corum has a year experience now and Hunter is an excellent addition, imo. I like that they have someone to work in who has a little more juice.. and who also runs hard.

WR:
Better. I hate saying that reflects in a negative way at all on Cooper Kupp.. so this is NOT taking any shot at him. But Davante is a significant upgrade, in my mind.. especially because of specific fit. Kupp may thrive again in a system where he's got two outside guys to take pressure off him and allow him to find space. Davante creates his own space.. puts a different kind of pressure on defenses.. and may actually open more up for guys like Tutu and Whittington. Also.. Tutu is better than a lot think.. and I think Whittington is going to take a step. I also think that there's more to squeeze from Smith.

TEs:
Appreciably better than the start of last season and slightly better than at the end. Ferguson is interesting.. I think he impacts the WR mix quite a bit.. I can see him taking on a lot of motion stuff and being a super-sized Puka in motion actions. Higbee came back and looked better than I expected.

Oline:
Should be better? Sounds like Shelton is penciled in as starter.. but I'm curious if Limmer can get in the weight room enough to make a difference there and beat him out. At worst, depth at center should be better. No experienced swing tackle is a bit of a concern. I wonder what they really think of Leveston? There's no reason to think he *can't* be a solution.. but it's unknown. The UDFA guy is very intriguing from a physical profile standpoint.. but.. who knows with that?

Safeties:
Slightly better. I just think with a full season for the young players.. and having, essentially the same unit come back, is a big, big plus. They need to be creative and they can be. I think they may be a real strength.

Corners:
Who knows? Lol. Apparently, they're happy with them. Seems there's some smoke around Ramsey coming back. We'll see. So many question marks.. but there's still some real potential with Forbes and Durant.

Linebackers:
Better. I think. I mean.. we have to see Paul in action, he's a rookie. But.. he seems like a fantastic addition and Landman feels, at worst, like an upgrade on 1st and 2nd down over Reeder or Rozeboom. I think Speights will take a big step.. love, love what I saw from him.

OLBs:
Better. I hope. I think Verse will continue to improve and I hope he can figure out what's behind so many of his missed tackles. If he cleans that up.. he starts moving into DPOY conversations. A truly special player who I expect to get even better. BY is what he is.. limited.. but plays hard and has some good qualities. Losing Hoecht hurts.. but I'm intrigued by Stewart and believe he may be every bit as good, if not better. Even as a rookie.

DL:
Better. Definitely better. Adding ford and then Hamilton MORE THAN MAKE UP for losing Bobby Brown.. and Poona is just an absolute perfect fit for what they needed to add on first and second downs. Hamilton is intriguing.

If the additions on offense compliment each other the right way.. the offense can go from pedestrian to good or very, very good. If they can stay healthy.. and if someone like Ferguson can be better as a rookie than expected? They may be fire. Ferguson, Watkins and Hunter create the possibility of more explosive plays, imo.. Corum too.

They still can make additions.. but it's a very solid roster.. and, oh.. did I mention? They got an extra first rounder in next year's draft for, basically, a high fourth round pick. Amazing.

Really.. he's just the most "football player" wide receiver in the league right now.. and just keeps kicking ass and taking names.

He's leading the league in catches by 11.. and in yardage by 100 yards. It's batshit. He's just an incredible force.... matched only by his amazing joy for playing football.

I don't have enough superlatives to describe him, but it's a friggen joy to watch him play.

Any chance this doesn't get spun up into a media distraction going into TNF?

FRISCO SUX!!!!!!

RAMS WIN, RAMS WIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIN!!!

Way to bounce back! Puka went off, Verse with a key sack, Curl with his first two career picks, and TUTU FUCKING ATWELL!!!!!!!

Here is todays list. I know most will like the fact that Limmer is out but I wish Ferguson was in.

RAMS​

• QB Stetson Bennett IV
• TE Terrance Ferguson
• OL Beaux Limmer
• OL D.J. Humphries
• DE Desjuan Johnson

Mari and I had to put our 14 year old lab down yesterday. Everybody's dog is the best dog ever - I get that, and actually, I believe it. Reason isn't important, but she was in obvious pain - spine/hip problems - and it was time. Fortunately (a relative term), my Vet is a friend, and he came by the house, so we were with her at the end.

I added an office on to my house in 2006, and have worked at home ever since, so Mari, Roxy and I have basically been together 24/7 for a long time now. I've had to put dogs down before, but this time is as painful as it gets. Maybe it's my age (67 in a couple weeks), but I don't think so. Read a lot on the web yesterday about grief over losing a pet, and would recommend that to anyone dealing with this. Crying is not an option either - it is required.

I don't usually share this kind of stuff, and don't know how cathartic it is (if at all), but the attitude of all the members here is unique as forums go, and and I just felt like honoring Rox.

Y'all give your dog a hug - he or she probably deserves it.

We're gonna be playing a good team, on the road, three time zones away. With possibly 1 or 2 important DB's tied behind our backs.

I expect us to play well, but eventually get beat by a better team at home.
