Couple thoughts by a professional bad taker

1. We're 7-3 I'm not too worried yet. But there are serious concerns and issues with this team.

2. Raheem Morris HAS to do better. If he doesn't then it around after this second half of the season, he HAS to be gone. There's way too much talent on this Defense for it to be this piss poor. It's not just the playcalling, it's also the lack of adjustments in game. The 3rd down D is absolute putrid. I have ZERO confidence that if we need a stop whether it be 3rd and short, or 4th and long that we'll it. It's a huge step back from last year and he seems to be a direct culprit. I'm glad Ramsey is getting fed up.

3. WE HAVE TO RUN THE BALL. This air it out Offense won't last. Running the ball wears defenses down, and opens up the play action. We have to absolutely get running the ball. If not, we're toast. It also protects Stafford.

4. Could be looking at our 3rd Special Teams Coordinator in as many years after this session. Special Teams except for Matt Gays kicking (except that SEA game) have been unacceptable. And for the record, I wanted to get rid of Hekker and keep Corey Bojo.

5. We have to absolutely CHILL on trading picks away. It's fun, and been fun. But it's going to start catching up to us. And seemingly already has. Also, quit with the gadget/project picks like Atwell. Get positions of NEED.

6. They need to quit reading the hype posts and quit with the superstar marketing, yada yada. No opponent gives a shit on Sunday on the field and is intimated. They come to play and want to knock our diva, seemingly full of ourselves shit out of us. And the last 2 weeks they have.

7. We need more Dawgs, more mean MFers on the team. I'm getting tired of going into a physical games knowing we're going to bet bullied around. And it seems to happen every time. No matter the talent level of our opponent. And especially the last 2 weeks.

8. Reiterating what I said earlier, not a single opponent cares about the name on the back of your jersey, or what you've done, they want to obliterate you. And we need to get the same damn mentality and get physical and mean.

9. Enough with the finesse, let's play physical.

I know I reiterated a few things.
1. Yeah we are BUT, we have 2 games against teams we’ve lost to already and 2 more against teams currently leading their division. We have to beat some good teams.
2. I don’t know how a team can convert every single 3rd down for a whole half, that seems unbelievable. This D played pretty well against the Titans considering the position they were put in.
3. I think the loss of Akers put a huge wrench in the plan for the running game then the loss of Mundt and Woods made it worse. Of course they could’ve tried to add someone to help the situation but that wouldn’t have been as much fun as a wr.
4. I’m not gonna blame the teams coach for that awful fake, no one would try something like that on their own.
5. Agreed, the Patriots have brought their young players along and now they’re kickin ass. Draft picks can be useful.
6. I’m hoping Snead and McVay are right about these guys cuz we need reinforcements.
7. I can’t believe there’s anyone on the niners tougher than AD and Jalen, they need to be put in the right positions and have good technique.
8. Maybe they were taking a victory lap after the big moves and trying to force the ball to a guy who’d only been on the team 3 days looks arrogant in hindsight but they gotta get their shit together and quick.

New American Underdog trailer

Tough crowd. This is the NFL's greatest underdog story, which is saying a lot given how many great players have come through this league. And he won that Super Bowl as a RAM.

We're gonna have to endure uniforms with undersized numbers (yes annoying), or his wife being cast in a very beneficial light. Maybe even the storyline shitting on Martz. So what. Can't wait to see this one been waiting all year for it. :part:

Positive Thoughts For Hill

My positive thoughts now for Hill are that I wish we still had him on the Rams.

Our cb play other than Ramsay and maybe Williams when/if healthy have not been very inspiring so far.

It's not just Morris. We don't have the personnel we had last year, including Hill and JJ.

Odell Beckham Jr. and Von Miller aim to make the most of bye week

Odell Beckham Jr. and Von Miller aim to make the most of bye week​

SANTA CLARA, Calif. – The bye week won't consist entirely of rest and relaxation for Rams wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. and outside linebacker Von Miller.

Los Angeles' midseason acquisitions made their debuts in Week 10, and still have plenty to learn. Accordingly, this week will be about getting up to speed, especially with a road game against the currently 8-2 Green Bay Packers coming out of the bye.

Starting opposite Leonard Floyd Monday night, Miller played 45 of 68 defensive snaps, collecting three total tackles in his first game as a Ram. It helped that Miller had a preliminary idea of the defense due to the similarities between the systems run by the Rams and Broncos. That said, he knows he still has more to learn.

"Bye week is always good," Miller said postgame after Monday Night Football. "I can get a little bit more healthy. I feel like I was healthy enough to play tonight, but let's take a little bit to go. This bye week can help me get healthy. This bye week will help me learn the playbook a little bit more. This defense had some carryover, but I still need to learn it. This bye week and next week, it'll be good for me."

Meanwhile, Beckham played 15 of 55 offensive snaps and caught 2 of 3 targets for 18 yards. Considering he didn't participate in his first practice with the team until Saturday, or two days before gameday, it was impressive he saw the field.

Getting Beckham adjusted will be a bye week priority for both himself and Rams head coach Sean McVay.

"I think for Odell to even be able to get out there and line up is a real credit to him," McVay said during a video conference with reporters Tuesday morning. "We didn't even have one full speed practice with him. So, these next 12 days will be really important to get him implemented, get him up to speed, and figure out a plan of attack to maximize our offensive players, and to play better than the way that we have these last couple of weeks. That's where my focus and concentration will be over the next few days."

For Beckham, this week will be a mix of diving into the playbook and "little two-a-days" after a mini-hiatus as he transitioned between teams. This is the first time in his career he's changed teams midway through a season, so it's a different adjustment than before – one that necessitates putting in work during his new team's week off.

"Just over the bye week, being able to get in the playbook and really try and learn every single thing possible," Beckham said postgame. "Two days (to prepare), you know, it's quick, but I'm ready, I'm excited, I'm happy to be here."

What Changes (If, ANY!) Can we Expect During The Rams Bye Week???

Well I have to be honest. I'd rather have a little funk mid season than at the beginning or end. Things might get worse who knows. But I know one thing. Losing won't be tolerated here in LA anymore like years past. The owner has spent too much money to let it go there. So I figure we hit a funk. Maybe we come out better after the bye or we don't. But I expect it won't last much lol longer than another game. It's gonna take time for this team to gel. Lots of new moving parts and they are obviously not playing well as a team right now.

SF round 1 Vent Thread

Yeah, I'll say this for Goff... he's got the best play action fake, maybe in the entire league. His fake was so consistent and they really worked on it.

I was shocked at how uncomfortable Stafford was with it... it looked awful in comparison. I really hope he works on it.
I’ve said this before… one reason Goff was successful was if the first read was there on a play action timing route, he’d nail it because he didn’t have to think or process and he had the mechanics down.

I don’t care if Stafford doesn’t love PA, it needs to get mixed in.

MNF - Rams at 49’ers

This might be the most overrated team in history. If we make the playoffs we could very likely lose in the first round. We're not better than AZ, TB, or GB. And if we played Dallas next week I think we lose. This feels nothing close to 2018. Soft ass team and McVay gets out-coached on the regular now.
Remember the speculation from a lot of naysayers in 2018 when Peters, Talib and Cooks were acquired? There were people comparing them to an Eagles team from years prior that busted. Well, THAT RAMS team won an NFC title. THIS Rams team is gonna be the one that busts.

Is Kyle Shanahan = Jeff Fisher?

Agreed. But by God he can anticipate and beat McVay. Shit if he could do what he does vs McVay to every other coach out there he'd win 15 fuckin games a year.

Morris made this an easy game for Kyle.

It was like Madden on easy mode where you call the same play over and over because it works. You just switch sides for the run and run the same play and win.

I hate that we just fed Deebo Samuel's version of SOSAR. That hurts.
