Peter King: MMQB - 10/3/16

Triplette is the absolute worst ref in the NFL and that's saying something.

This quote from Young should raise some serious eyebrows about the game he called in our SB loss. Thats some serious 7-9 bullshit.

Gives alot of credence to him trying to direct the outcome of the SB. Which his calls against us and his arguing about the holding call on the Faulk fumble. I hope someone digs up the play Young spoke of.

Simms Walking A Thin Line.

When you post factual information is that putting negativity on the player? Quinn does produce pressure from his post but he was also manhandled in the run game which is also an important element of his duties. Do we just ignore the other parts of his duties.

Now onto what happens to the pressure when Quinn departs? Who is the DE who replaces Quinn that causes the pass rush to not be as effective? That would be RDE Eugene Sims. Sims does hold up at times better than Quinn against some outside runs. I was sure I heard something close to your comment above on trashing Sims after posts by members here who were very upset with Eugene Sims & said so & were critical of Sims actions last week when he was ejected early along with the Hayes injury making the Rams DL very short of personnel.

Now, is that throwing out negativity against both our RDE's here in this forum? Might these comments be factual comments & very close to the full truth? Not much to get here on my comments on Rob Quinn who just happens to be our highest paid player who is a starter & finished a major divisional game where he had Zero tackles Zero assist, Zero sacks.

Yes Quinn produces pressure & hurries & a few hits but it was not a good overall game for him in spite what PPF says when you acknowledge that Quinn had an aged very immobile stationary QB in the pocket all game long...... Yes the Rams did take Carson out in the 4th quarter. Rob Quinn is seriously vital to this defense. When Quinn has an off game it will cause big issues for Gregg Williams defense. Back before the season opened in July I had Rob Quinn's return to full health as my #1 concern for this defense, that should tell you just how I view Rob's importance as a Ram player.
Manhandled on run plays? Let's just say we agree to disagree on that BonifayRam. I'm not sure what you expect out of Quinn? He job is probably the hardest on the Dline since he has to play against what is usually the best oline player on the opposing team. Then he gets freaking choke hold on every single pass rush. If the refs would call holds like the one they called on Grob, Quinn would be unstoppable. Quinn won us that game in Tampa and he deserves every penny he makes.I think your right about Longacre he should get more playing time.

Improving the Gurley Situation

I don't have an answer , but I did like what he said in his interview about lack of production. He said he could care less if they keep winning.
Yes that is by far the best answer he can give, even if he doesn't feel that way, which I think and hope he does. It gets the press off of his back because they can't ask anything else about his run game after that response, and if they are stupid enough to do so, then all he has to do is repeat what he said for those that are hearing impaired.

Rams@Cardinals Celebration Thread

The great thing about those three close wins is that now the team will have that sort of confidence in their ability to win close games. They won't panic when they are down one score in the 4th because they will know that they are perfectly capable getting that W. Confidence goes a long way.
I am still not over that multiple tackle escape by Keenum, he played his heart out.

Whicker: Rams starting to grow confidence in QB Case Keenum

I felt bad for Robinson on the ineligible receiver downfield thing. It looked at one point like Keenum was gonna take off on a scramble again so he was just getting out in front to block.

Everyone is talking about the run game being shut down but sooner or later teams are gonna have to respect Keenum and the passing game more (as much as it might pain them to do so).

The running game is shut down because teams are sending more defenders than we have blockers. However, as Case and the team learns to exploit all the opportunities the extra attention on Todd is providing, this offense will start to come up with solid (i.e., non-Cardiac Kids-esque) wins. As the defenses adjust for Case's growing success as a game manager, the Express! will stop sputtering and start to roll, then rumble, then begin to flat out thunder down those tracks.

Injuries

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap30...es-kevin-white-injures-ankle-bowman-ruled-out

Bears wide receiver Kevin White was having his best game as a pro before going down with an injury.

The second-year wideout suffered an ankle injury and didn't return. He had six catches for 55 yards at the time of the injury. White didn't see the field for his entire rookie season after suffering a stress fracture.

Other injury news we are keeping an eye on Sunday:

1. Cowboys wideout Dez Bryant did not see the field Sunday, as he was inactive against the 49ers. NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported Sunday that the receiver is expected to miss one to two weeks. Bryant was diagnosed with a hairline knee fracture, but Rapoport reported that the injury is commonly referred to as a bone bruise, per a source who has seen Bryant's test results. There is no long-term risk.

2. Panthers quarterback Cam Newtonis in the concussion protocol after sitting out the majority of the fourth quarter of Sunday's loss to the Falcons.

Panthers linebacker Thomas Davissuffered a hamstring injury and didn't return.

3. Jets cornerback Darrelle Revis didn't return after suffering a thigh injury.

4. Broncos quarterback Trevor Siemian (shoulder) was carted into the locker room, and did not return. NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported preliminary tests revealed it's an AC joint sprain on his non-throwing shoulder, per a source. Cornerback Kayvon Webster injured his hamstring in the game.

5. Saints wide receiver Willie Snead, who missed Monday's loss to the Falcons with a toe injury, was active against the Chargers.

6. Rams wide receiver Tavon Austin (shoulder) was active against the Cardinals.

13. Niners linebacker NaVorro Bowman was carted to the locker room late in the third quarter with a lower leg injury. He did not return to the game, and Rapoport reported the initial belief is Bowman tore his Achilles.

14. Cardinals safety Tyvon Branch did not return after injuring his groin. Running back Chris Johnsonlimped off the field and went to the locker room with a groin injury.

Quarterback Carson Palmer is currently in the concussion protocol after getting knocked out of the fourth quarter of Arizona's loss to the Rams. Coach Bruce Arians told reporters it will be tough for Palmer to play this Thursday against the Niners.

15. Chargers offensive lineman Orlando Franklin injured a knee in their loss to the Saints.

16. Steelers offensive lineman Marcus Gilbert (ankle) was ruled out for Sunday Night Football. Receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey (shoulder) was ruled out, too. Linebackers Anthony Chickillo (knee) and Jarvis Jones (ankle) were also ruled out.

Bank it: the Quick experiment is coming to an end

Who the hell is the Brian Quick guy everyone's talking about???



Ok, seriously, both of those catches were excellent, but the second one especially so. Had to adjust to the ball in flight, got around, went up and made the catch and managed to get both feet down in bounds ... excellent body control on that one. And when ... just when we needed it the absolute most, that's when. Totally clutch.

This will give our QB's more confidence in going to him, and it will give him more confidence when it's coming to him. Keep your head cool BQ, don't get overconfident, but just remember what you've done and know that you can do it again.

What I expect to see in The Game Tomorrow!!

I'll tell you what I expect to see in the game tomorrow.

I expect to see us make some good plays and some bad plays. I expect to throw something across the room. Take my Rams hat off. Put it back on. Jump up and yell "NO!!!". Jump up and yell "YES!!!". Sit down and worry some more. I expect us to have a shot in the 4th quarter to get a "W" if we can.......hold the lead; or gain the lead; or stay focused; or........

I expect I'll watch the whole thing and enjoy most of it.

Expectations met. Now me and my friend Johnny Walker have thoroughly enjoyed this Sunday. 91,000 screaming next Sunday against a tough Buffalo team. Expectations remain the same.
