No Dalvin Cook vs Rams

FaulkSF
As long as we have the right personnel defending the run we'll be fine. I don't want to see us trot out 2 DT, 2 OLB, a MLB, and 6CBs against a full back and 2 blocking TEs.

Actually thought against Seattle we did better with mixing up coverages, so that should serve to help us as well.

Let's get our backfield at least 25 touches, maybe a sweep or two, and let's bring home the victory!

20 Random Survive to Thrive Thoughts

Serious question around the concern that Stafford hasn't tested positive for COVID yet: Didn't the NFL change the testing protocol so one only has to test IF SYMPTOMATIC when vaxxed (which all but 1 Ram is)?

To me, that's a huge difference, as many players that would have had to submit multiple negative tests thereafter would never test positive to begin with. They're just out there infecting other players, who also may not show symptoms, and progress toward the whole herd immunity goal. Again, this was my potentially incorrect understanding of the situation.

I was hoping we wouldn't have to worry about Stafford or others unless they REALLY get sick with the virus.

Correction: Chris Garrett was the ONLY player unvaxed and he's since been vaxed. So, unless a new addition (there have been so many) is unvaxed, the entire team is vaxed.

That was SUPER important wrt the NFL being willing to reschedule our game to Tuesday.

My kids are the same way. Two of them won't watch games because they can't handle the pressure. And I tell them the same thing, that you have to embrace it and enjoy the drama of it.

You mentioned you have the mental strength of a kitten when you're watching games. I wasn't knocking you. Just observing that the answer to me seems to be toughening up mentally so you can get the full enjoyment of it.

IF that's already the case then ok. Carry on with all that. :clinkingbeer:

Also I think DWill is just rounding back into form after an ankle sprain that put him on the IR. Ankle sprains don’t sound like much but they take a long time to fully heal and reduce abilty to change direction especially when you are reacting to another player.

DD21 just made a nice play though. He was missed earlier.
D. Williams has been excellent

Yeah, there was plenty of griping here. But I don't recall anyone wanting to trade Stafford and fire Snead and/or Mcvay. Those people are talking about what they can get if they trade Murray for a taller quarterback. And some were calling for the coach and GM to be fired.

I have to wonder what the mood woulda been here and over there if the teams started something like 2-1 and 4-2 then 6-3. Expectations were high for both teams after 7-0 and 7-1 starts.

SNF - Saints at Buccaneers

You're asking a backup QB to either make a precision pass or come off his first read in a high pressure situation, with his first read being a player he has locked onto all night. It wasn't a smart play call. Hundley had burned GB when Baltimore spread out the defense and let him make quick decisions with the ball or use his legs to find openings. That's what you do there. Spread them out, let him look for a quick throw, and if it's not there, you let him run/improvise.

Know your QB's tendencies, and play to his strengths. That was a point I made last year when people were jumping on Goff for that deep shot against the Jets to Everett. He had Kupp open underneath, but we called a play where his initial read was a one-on-one throw to Everett deep. Knowing Goff, he was going to take that shot unless a safety slid over the top and took it away. You can't be surprised as a coach when a QB doesn't fight against his tendencies in a pressure situation. It's your job as a coach to know his tendencies, know his strengths, and make a call that plays to both.

I wasn’t asking anything. I just noticed that he completely missed the free runner who should have been his 2nd read.

Agree that the call was a bad call for the QB and the situation

Sorry if I touched a nerve. But he was an alcoholic who used his celebrity status to expedite his medical procedure, presumably at the expense of someone without his public status. And he was vastly overrated as a PBP man, due in part to his prime years occurring during the NFL's peak period, IMO. I've seen another post in this thread referring to his biased commentary, also. If you refuse to acknowledge that, that indicates you just don't want to hear it.

Kurt Warner breaks down Stafford vs Cardinals

badnews said:
Okay, lol 4 of the "not so sure" responses on one post in this thread??
I said a lot of things. Are you not so sure those were my opinions? Not so sure about all of it? That's hard to believe. Surely you guys must agree he was amazing for us and that things shouldn't have went down that way or that the team around him was amazing.
Leaving a not so sure to a bunch of opinions is like saying "screw you".
- "Okay. Why?"
"Just because"

That's reasonable, and one way to look at things. However, another approach would be something like
"Cherish the game, there will be other wives and children."

Agreed with you and Merlin and a few others that this O is clearly better with Michel. Really hope McVay can see this and doesn't try to overthink things.
Click to expand...
Is it better bc of rb change, or is it better bc ever since Michel has been the only rb, McVay has changed his plans and has actually been sticking with the run game? When Hendo was the back, it seemed like the run was an after thought.
