Johnny is the "emergency QB." He also sports the best passer rating of all current Horns passers.

Rams tape review: Big passes from Case Keenum, a save by Troy Hill and a forced fumble to win
Rams made their return to the Coliseum on Sunday a triumphant one with a 9-3 victory over the Seattle Seahawks.

Each week we review the tape to see what worked, what didn’t and what you might have missed from the previous week. Today, we focus on the passing game.

Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson’s ability to extend and make plays appeared to be hampered a bit by his injury, which the Rams noticed. On this play he’s able to take the open grass in front of him for a five-yard gain after Seattle ran fullback Will Tukuafu (46) out to the sideline to line up as a receiver, forcing the Rams to adjust their coverage.

The kicker on this is linebacker Alec Ogletree’s (52) late hit on Wilson which gave the Seahawks another 15 yards.

Lance Kendricks catches a deep pass for a 44-yard gain

Down: First and 10

Time: 2:19 left in second quarter

This also play got a mention in the things you might have missed piece from Sunday, but here you can see how linebacker Mike Morgan (57) gets caught in space watching Todd Gurley (30) in the flat for a potential screen pass — a standard part of the Rams offense — while also trying to keep tabs on tight end Lance Kendricks (88). This was quarterbackCase Keenum’s biggest pass of the game.

“The only way they had a chance to beat us was with trick plays,” Seahawks safety Earl Thomas said after the game. “The screen and then the gadget play to the tight end.”

Tavon Austin catches a 27-yard pass from QB Case Keenum

Down: First and 10

Time: 3:38 left in third quarter

Tavon Austin was targeted on those screen passes three times and took the ball on an end around once — all trickery which Seattle was prepared to deal with.

“We expect that from him. We expect some deep developing. They're not afraid to run him down the field, which you saw,” Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman said. “When he's in a certain position, certain spots, there are some expectations.”

Here’s an example of that deep stuff Sherman was talking about. Watch how the left receiver clears out the corner and safety Earl Thomas to give Austin an opportunity for a big play. Another key here is tight end Lance Kendricks (88) drawing safety Kam Chancellor (31) away from the play (better seen in the second camera angle) just enough to delay his pursuit.

attacked undrafted Rams cornerback Troy Hill several times. Here they went after him on a deep pass to receiver Tyler Lockett, which went for 53 yards. Despite getting beaten by a perfectly placed pass from Wilson, Hill made a game-saving play with his ankle tackle of Lockett.

Mark Barron (26) deserve some credit too?

Also noteworthy is what looks like uncalled holding by the offense and a late hit on Barron.

great atmosphere. It was packed and super hot out. There was a buzz in the air for sure. I want to post pics from my cell, but having issues. Wheres the best/easiest place to upload?

How anyone is surprised by Kendricks being productive is beyond me. He is a very good all around TE and has been for years. This is nothing new in his performance..

Click to expand...

Thank you. His lack of pass catching productivity the last few yr was, IMO, largely due to the failed Cook experiment. He just rarely got targeted. LK was already a decent pass catcher before Cook got here. Granted, he never had the height or speed, but he's always been a nice edition of the traditional TE that may not stretch the field, but is plenty solid in the 8-15yd range.

Cody was clocked at 23.3 mph. Not sure what the conditions were but it was posted on the big screen during the last game, he was the fastest clocked on that list. I believe it was under game conditions. Not sure if that list was just this game or NFL wide, but either way dude is fast.

I did see the whole game and yes I thought he looked good. But let's not get too far ahead of ourselves. RG3 looked like the second coming his first year. This week will be the real test for him when he goes toe to toe with Big Ben.

Coty should be the better corner, he is faster taller bigger quicker stronger in all areas that they test but when we see Coty play he performs way below his excellent measures.....

I loved Joyners bounce back game. The kid is not a man cover CB but is a real good roaming zone DB near the line of scrimmage.

His burst and ability to read a play and close the space is really good. He's also a fearless tackler that brings some pop.

With the emergence of HIll and return of Gaines soon, I think Joyners role in this defense will change to what it needs to be. Joyner and Barron are like two nomads roaming around wherever they want and constantly applying pressure in the backfield and filling up passing zones. Williams has really got a good system in place that makes it difficult for an offensive Coordinator to know where to attack.

We really have an unorthodox defensive approach that is hard to predict. Pressure coming not only up the middle from super talented Donald and Tree but also Barron, Joyner, Alexander and others are constantly shooting gaps and occupying unknown zones.

It's mad confusion coming from quick hard hitting intense players.

I would say 11 wins would basically guarantee playoffs. And I agree with you, that's a pretty tall order for a Fisher team. That said, the bad part is how do you not give someone an extension if they get 11+ wins?

Just Grrrrreat!!

But but but Ogletree made that game saving hit 9 yards down field!

Apples and oranges I know, just crazy how people can change their opinions on players around here at the flip of a coin. Heck there were plenty of people calling the move a bust just a week ago after the SF game. (So much knee jerking).

I saw a defensive line absolutely blowing things up yesterday. Credit still goes to the rest of the team, but the line was definitely facilitating rather than receiving. Tackles are a weird stat, and cool and all but don't really do a good job of telling the story of what happened in a game. For example there were 7 TFLs sunday for the Rams (according to ESPN, there are different stats everywhere) and Tree was responsible for only one of those. The secondary (hello blitzing) combined for 2 and the line accounted for the other 4.

There are going to be growing pains, and I still think Ogletree is better suited to the outside. Not saying he isn't good in the middle, but its not like the man is going to fix all the problems from last season just because he slid over a spot on the D.

Click to expand...

I do not know of any member thinking that Ogletree was an instant fix to our issues @ run defense last season. In the majority if not all other NFL defenses yes Ogletree would be a better OLB'er so I would share your thought there but in this defense....where the DC play's only O N E legit LB'er on the field of play for every defensive down the Rams play....Hell of a job Tree!:bow:

Yes the DB's are going to share in those tackles. pressures & sacks because we have normally SIX (6) of them on the starting defense...more than half if I could count right :huh:. There is a reason that Fisher & Snead are paying big (over 30 mil in 2016 alone for our top 5 Dl'ers) to have five #1 picks in the front DL to do the heavy lifting so the flyweights can do the clean up action.

So you have to have defenders behind our DL that can get & fill those holes fast. JL, Ayers, Lynch, Dunbar were not quick or fast enough for Gregg Williams so he went with strong safeties types like Barron, Mc Donald, Alexander & even Joyner to fulfill that need along with Ogletree (who was a safety in college for a few early years)

.any of us here felt that Bradford would be a good fit with Turner, and hoped that Fisher would be able to lure Norv to the Rams.

damn....good guy Sam replaces good guy Teddy...and, from the way it looks....Teddy won't be able to beat out Sam.....Sam just throws the ball too damn well...the NFL

Click to expand...

Sam has a stronger and more accurate deep ball than Teddy and it isn't close. It will be interesting to see how that unfolds. Tuesday's injury may be a godsend if Sam can keep it up.

I think a year with Chip Kelly really did Sam some good.

Selassie I said:

The QB slide is a legit and needed play in the NFL. Most running QBs have it down to a science and are able to protect themselves as a result. That's what it's for and I wholeheartedly think that it's a protection the QBs need and deserve.

But...

That freaking Oompa Loompa we saw yesterday uses the slide in a totally unsportsmanlike manner.

A QB is supposed to give himself up with the slide so that the defenders have time to let up and not deliver a shot to the QB.

Wilson does not do this... he has perfected the art of trying to bait the refs into having to call unnecessary roughness on the hits he takes when he does the QB slide. It's BS though, and I believe he should be called out for this by the league and not offered the protection the slide affords when he tries his little freaking gimmick. Watch him... he'll wait until the defender has to commit to hitting him... and THEN... he goes into his slide. He clearly does this on purpose and I'm sick of seeing it. We watched it yesterday.

He's gonna get more than a high ankle sprain from this puss ass crap. Somebody's gonna take his head off,,, and as far as I'm concerned,,, he'll deserve every bit of it.

Stop the madness GODhell... this crap is bush league.

Click to expand...

I too believe it was a BS Call, and I agree with what you say Wilson is pulling! But he's using the rules and How do you fix that!!?! IDK!!

That parallel sideline tip toe 3rd down catch with the DB on his ass was impressive.

You're misunderstanding my point (and maybe that's my fault, because I have many points swirling around in my head). WE (the members of ROD) can hear [see] it. The endless blasting of Keenum (and Fisher). Not only is it intolerable for *most* Rams fans, but it achieves nothing. We can't do anything about it, and the Rams can't hear you. So who are y'all lobbying to? Just venting, I guess? I mean, who wants to be around that all of the time? Most people just walk away from that kind of stuff because an echo chamber of negativity can be super annoying.

All I'm saying is that it would be cool if people would just chill out about it sometimes. Everyone who's a fan of this team is aware of what's going on. We know Keenum isn't the answer, and we know Fisher's offense can be irritating. But in the end, we're called to be fan(atics). Hoping for the best, even if it means expecting the worst. Sure you can have visceral reactions in real time. That's only natural. But to string it along for days, weeks, and even months is exactly what I said it was. Annoying. This is a community of fans, first and foremost, and the vision was to just get together and have fun without having to endure thread after thread after thread of that stuff. It's boring and unoriginal. Not to mention senselessly repetitive.

It would be like me coming into your house and you showing me a video tape of your kid's rehearsal. Maybe he plays the piano or whatever. You think it's good, but you know it's not great. You're just proud that he's out there doing his thing and enjoying himself. He's your kid, and you're proud of whatever he does. Meanwhile, I spend the next 30 minutes telling you how he's not as good as the kid down the block, how he seems to be tone deaf, how his pedal work is weak, how he should give up piano and pick up a tambourine, and how he'll never amount to anything. If that sorta thing doesn't bother you, then tell me what time to come over. I'll bring my dead horse.
