Good read Jake.

Gurley did have a couple big runs called back. He was also given quite a few carries when the game was over and the colts were just loading up to stop the run. We were just trying to run the clock out(I was a little shocked how much time they left the offensive starters in for). Had it been a more balanced game I think his ypc would have been better. Had he broken that one shoe string tackle on 3rd and 9 I think we are looking at a close to 100 yard catching performance for him.

Thanks for sharing the write up.

Thank you! Cheers!

I have two tickets available for Rams vs. Redskins 9/17/17.

Sec. 20L, Row 23, 16-17

Here's the view (no zoom)...


Edit: Important details...the section is right off tunnel 20. There's a restroom and an 805 beer stand almost directly in front of the tunnel. The Ballast Point area is a short hop, skip, and stumble away. :cheers::yess:

I rarely get to watch the games live. So I have game pass. I watch yesterday's game at about 3 AM this morning using my ROKU. No issues at all.

If I was off and available to watch the games live, I would probably get Sunday ticket.

But I still like game pass a lot. I can watch any game after it's over, whenever I want. You can break down the film/plays. And for games/teams that I'm only moderately interested in I can watch the entire game in 30 minutes. I may even do that for Rams games if I can't stand the announcers.

Bottom line for me, for my life and schedule, Game pass suits me and I have had no issues with it.

For the couple of times a year when I actually get to watch them live, I can go to a buddies house or a sports bar

What are the defensive lines official positions? Or did they rotate around like crazy? I would hate to be a right tackle going up against Brockers on an island. Bull rush city.

Your second sentence is correct.

But the if there were a normal line up it would be 5 tech Tyrunn Walker, 3 tech Westbrooks & Brockers on the Nose.

In the Nickle the DL goes to four in 3 point stance with OSLB'ers as the 2 DE's & any combo of the DL'ers in the 2 DT positions.

DB's Tackles

Starter-FS/Nickle Joyner 4 tacks
Reserve FS/Nickle Countess 3 tacks
Starter-CB Johnson 2 tacks
Reserve-CB NRC 2 tacks
Starter-SS Alexander 2 tacks

The rest have 1 tackle each.

Even WITH all the accolades, I think he is underrated. Dude is a serious weapon - combined with a top 3 defense and an at least competent offense makes the Rams a really tough draw for every other team in the league.

Get ready Greg, Sunday's are gonna be your new leg day.

I would be Chuck Pagano would make this Houston team a contender.

Very good points, but you could make the same debate about O'Brien making the Colts a contender and I would hire O'Brien over Pagano although both men have suffered similar fates. I don't put much on the front office gaffes in Indianapolis, alhough they have had more miscues then Houston, but Pagano has been blessed with a top tier QB and Houston has not, for whatever reason.

IMHO the Indianapolis defense has been far worse than the Houston offense and that lies at the feet of Chuck Pagano and for some reason, Pagano could not attract a high profile DC, however, current DC Ted Monachino was Linebacker coach of a good defense and might be the best Pagano has had there.

Overall both teams are in trouble, but I'm betting on O'Brien getting an opportunity to be a Head Coach again, whereas Pagano might end up with his good friend Bruce Arians in Ariazona...Again taking nothing away from Chuck Pagano because I believe he's a quality individual and he gave Arians a chance, when he was sent to the scrape heap after being let go in Pittsburgh, but in the end the Colts will make a coaching change and they will either keep Chudzinski or hire somebody like Mike Smith and be in the boat all over again.

It was a nice gesture by Stan.

I noticed while watching on TV that he was lifting his arm above his head and rotating is arm is a big circle with his pads off and just his jersey on while talking to someone after a big play.

Yellow....with the blue...or White with the blue. then in a few years the Gold can be like a color rush theme...but never a lil piece of the uni like now. Seems like we're color blind or something...uncoordinated.

62.5 completion percentage under pressure is the kind of stat that makes teams back off. When a QB is beating the heat at that point bringing the house loses its luster. And of course his YPC were great on top of his completion percentage as well.

Kid had a true breakout game yesterday. Here's hoping he has another one vs the Skins.

Owners still don't get why ratings are down. They have no clue what the common person cares about. They point to kneeling for the national anthem and no clarity in punishing players. Those things do drive off viewers, but they are missing what drives most viewers away.

I'm guessing ratings are down due more to mundane things like over saturation of commercials, playing the same ones over and over again and less coverage of what going down on the field. Its driven me off.

I tuned in five minutes before kickoff for the Rams game. and watched, get this, 17 straight commercials. 17. and every break in the action, (score, punt, change of possession) another inundation of commercials. Most of them I had just seen before kickoff.

Then comes halftime and I timed it. 5 minutes of real coverage of other games in progress, 3 minutes of Rams-Colts highlights. 13 minutes of commercials, and mostly the same ones. 13. Oversaturation.

Of course we understand the commercials are what pay the bills, but it's also the owners main source of profit. And their greed makes them blind. Just in the off chance someone that is close to them reads this and they will actually care enough about what the common Joe thinks, maybe they should dial back the commercials and give more airtime to what's going on during the game.

Owners, get a clue. If you want to keep viewers, listen to their complaints and requests, then do something about it.

Something special brewing in that locker room man. Lot of talented players who have suffered but are starting to taste what it's like. If this OL can get the run blocking going they are going to be a team you don't want to see on your schedule.

not that I know of. there was a lot of empty seats for an opener. lots of scalpers trying to buy tickets but im not sure for how much

They didnt seem to tackle well from what I saw yesterday, maybe we'll see some shallow routes for some YAC. Everett maybe?

I wonder what Fisher thinks of his former team performance.

Click to expand...

For all his faults he had his good points. He seemed like a decent man, that was also loved by his players. He helped build a dominant D for this team, one that could wreck opposing QB's, he just didn't surround himself with the right people on the offensive side of the ball - don't forget he brought in Bones to coach the Special Teams.

He wanted the Rams to succeed, he wanted the players to have a winning season, I don't think that's changed.

I for one do not bear Jeff Fisher any ill will.

At least for one week of the regular season the RAMS are in 1st place atop the NFC West all by themselves. Living up here in the Pacific Northwest I am especially glad to see the Seahawks lose!

Not only are the Rams in 1st Place in our Division, But we scored more points, in our game, than our 3 Div. Rivals combined!!:rolllaugh::yay::yess::mrburnsevil:

i don't know man, gurley still doesn't look like the gurley from his rookie season. the speed and burst just don't seem like they're there on the running plays. he looks much better catching passes.

am i seeing things?

Maybe the Rams are taking a hard line after paying too much for receiver Tavon Austin and giving up too much for quarterback Jared Goff. If so, maybe they should wait for the next guy in line for a new deal to play hardball, given Donald’s value to the team.
