The ILB play has been atrocious. Roseboom and Reeder were somewhat serviceable in the Lions game but they had a collective 8 missed tackles against the Cards.

Why is Speights not getting a chance? He was supposedly the reason we felt confident trading Jones…
Where are people getting these "miss tackles" stats from.

I looked it up and im not seeing these numbers anywhere.

McVay refusing to give McClendon help the first half is coaching malpractice.
It was obvious by the second snap McClendon was in over his head.
He can't stay in front of any pass rusher it seems. He is not an NFL player at this point.
I love McVay and think he is great but, he repeatedly does this. I don't know if it is blind spot of his, not wanting to take a receiver out of the routes, or he is too close on the sideline. Either way, I don't get it and it is bizarre.
This is McVay’s one great weakness. He’s stubbornly married to his scheme. He seems to hate changing the offense no matter what the situation or who the opponent. Go back to the Super Borl against the patriots. The Rams struggled with the 6 man fronts in 6 games that year. It was obvious that Belichick would use that and McVay needed to adjust for it.
