RIP Mort Saul ...

The comic whose pioneering style paved the way for such boundary-breaking comedians as Lenny Bruce, Richard Pryor and George Carlin, died Tuesday at his home in Mill Valley, CA. He was 94. One of the originals when it came to applying social commentary to his stand-up act and using early TV media for skewering politicians and others in a harsh but clean presentation.

BLASPHEMY! SACRILEGE! or just the next chapter?

Whenever I watch an offense with a QB like Warner or any of the greats I have that feeling like they could score almost when they need to by opening things up a bit. Now I get the same feeling with 9 back there in our offense. It's a feeling of inevitability almost.

I mean the way that game started yesterday imagine how bad it would have been if he hadn't patiently led them down the field for 17 points in their 3 first half possessions. It was great to see the offense slow the game down when the other two phases weren't working. Now I know the Lions have a shitty defense, but that unit out there yesterday was winning more in the trenches as some better teams like the Bucs did against our OL. They were playing out of their minds and the DC was hitting hard on his calls.

But anyway. Hope there's more comebacks ahead on those rare occasions we fall behind.

2021 Rams “D” Front talk

BonifayRam said:
The Rams DL had an off game in comparison to the overall work of last season.

The Defensive front Five have some very highly-paid players playing in it Sunday night Donald (average annual salary of $22.5 mil.), Floyd(average annual salary of $16 mil,) & Robinson (average annual salary of $8.5 mil).... none earned that $$$ Sunday night.

I wonder if DT Sebastian Joseph-Day has spent way too much time reading all of his positive press clippings too much this year. Call me highly disappointed :angry4:. Places him in with my thought on :crap:A'Shawn Robinson @ this moment in time.

New starter inside @ NT Greg Gaines held up rather well inside but the running holes were left & right of him mostly left of him.:hope:

The Safeties (Rapp & Fuller) did very little to nothing to help plug up the holes too:(! Not sure if DC Morris had his hands around their throats or not:unsure:. Once again call me very unimpressed with both of them & with Morris's poor run game stoppage.

Dog/pet names after your favorite Rams

@RamFan503

You've got one too Brudda.

Yeah... And he's just as useful as his namesake.
:laugh4: But what could I do? We had just drafted Sam Bradford and he, the dog, and I were all born on November 8. There was no choice but to name him Sam.

Interestingly (well to me anyway), I had a MUCH better dog named Rosey - named after one of my all time favorite Ram. Rosey was damned near perfect.

Don't get me wrong. I love Sam. But he's been real difficult and is a total dope.

Celebration thread - Lions are cute with how hard they tried

The verticals on 3rd down have been the culprit of numerous possession killers resulting in punts. Waaay too many. I have no problem with those on 1st or 2nd down but its stupid on 3rd down when you consider the low percentage of conversion.

The yards per pass is nice but its actually a very deceptive stat when you consider the overall scoring is down from the 2018 Mcvay team.

It's much worse when you consider the decimated secondaries we have been lucky to have faced thus far. I don't think I need to detail it for those that have been following the games each week. But the Bears seconary is no longer what it is, The Colts were missing Xavier Rhodes and others, the Bucs were completely depeleted then had more injuries during our game leading to signing Sherman the following week, The Cardinals secondary isn't that good with the exception of Murphy who intercepted our aggressive approach, The Seahawks secondary is depleted with the exception of Diggs who intercepted us, then you had the Giants and Lions.

Think about that. When the playoffs roll around we will be facing an Arizona defense that shut us down, The Bucs with Sherman and JP back, Jaire Alexander and Trevon Diggs who is snatching up anything.

Am I being a debbie downer? No. I am just providing some context. The Deep ball is feast or famine and shouldn't be counted on for converting third downs as a regular occurence.

Tom Brady didn't win his Super Bowl with Randy Moss, but he did win it with the Gronks and Edelmans of the world.

Though the GSOT did use the long ball to Bruce to close it out. So it is possible.

But the biggest consideration for using a deep ball approach is Oline and pass pro. If we can stay healthy it's possible. So far all 5 lineman have been healthy. So has Higbee. Henderson and Sony have also been overall really solid in pass pro. If we get into the playoffs with this type of health then yes the deep ball approach is possible, but that is a long way away. Dialing up deep plays and sitting in the pocket for 5 seconds untouched like Stafford was today on the beautiful critical 3rd down pass to Kupp is only possible if all those blockers are healthy.

That chart doesn't mean we're throwing verticals every or most 3rd down plays, it just means we're trying to go for the first more often instead of checking it down.

I think it's a plus that the playbook is open on third down. That means teams have more plays to prepare for instead of being predictable in those situations.

Also, remember that Stafford is top 2 in completion percentage when pressured, so I wouldn't be as concerned if the pocket isn't always clean.

I’ve watched half and they have done a great job staying true to the book.

be forewarned

its “part one”……
Click to expand...
I thought is was better than the first two attempts. But standing on its own, IMHO, the casting, acting, and directing weren't that great.

But I watched it all and will watch part 2. The books were fantastic and this could easily be a franchise as there is a ton of great material.

RB rotation

Spider2YB said:
Today wasn’t the best day on the ground but overall I think Hendo has been really freaking solid this year.
That said. I *do* think the better long term play for the season would be to rotate Michel in more frequently. It will keep Hendo healthy and fresh, and plus, Michel adds a physicality and toughness that’s a nice change of pace. I’d love to see McVay get a rotation going where Hendo gets 2 series, then Michel 1—kinda similar to what he did with Gurley/Malcolm Brown.
Click to expand...
I think today was a result of Michele’s shoulder problem, not really the way they want to run it. If you go back to the post Seattle discussion from McVay 60/40 is more want they want.

Predict the Score- Lions @ Rams

Classic Rams
WestCoastRam said:
Rams - 27
Lions - 17

Goff comes out and plays hard 1st half. Rearranged secondary for Rams still has some bumps on the way to better play. Plays out like a Rams game of old where a small lead at halftime becomes a two score or higher lead never given up.
Click to expand...
Looks like the closest score here. Even predicted a little of the gameplay too. Small lead at half...impressive.
