Game Day Thread

The GDT is a live thread tradition here at ROD.

While we all get fired up watching the game, please remember our core principles; we always show respect for our team and each other.

Despite the emotional highs and lows watching a game, we will moderate this thread with that in mind, however please refrain from name calling. This applies to players, the Rams organization, and each other.

This is the core rule of the GDT. Moderators are tasked to issue thread bans, at a minimum, to maintain this standard.

This is our team. Win or lose. Good days and bad. We are here for FUN, not to be dragged down.

A more loosely moderated atmosphere can be found in the chat room.

Go Rams!

Going to be a tough game to win if Jackson, McDuffie & Curl are out. David Quessenberry is someone the Rams felt could hold up at LT. If Quessenberry plays similar to D.J. Humphries last year against the Falcons, the Rams are in trouble because Stafford was throwing the ball far too quickly because of his fear of getting hit from the blind side.

Keep in mind that Mike LaFleur knows McVay, which makes me nervous because of how Raheem Morris had a great plan against the Rams last year. ST Coach Bubba Ventrone sounded like he felt great about Blake Grupe and that Grupe was his choice, if that does not go well, where do the Rams turn on both fronts?

My plan for this game would be a heavy dose of Williams & Corum along with play action bootlegs to the TE's. Hopefully the defense playing with a depleted secondary can put pressure on Jacoby Brissett, while also containing him within the pocket. Need this game bigtime Gentleman, but injuries just continue to mount each and every week.
 
I'm worried about this game.
Big emotional letdown possible after crushing loss last week, plus no Jackson and possibly no McDuffie and Curl.

This will be a good barometer, imo, for where this team is headed this season.

This stat makes me worry. Thomas got worn out and broke down and could not sustain that. We haven's heard his name in years. The Rams have got to get back to 13p, put Devante in and rest Puka way more. He is a stud, but they got to spread the ball around. They need others for key plays.
So you're basically saying;
GO TUTU !!!

Two guys I would really like to see on the field today;
CJ Daniels and Tutu Atwell
 
With our LT Alaric Jackson suspended today, it indicates OT Keagen Trost will suit up for his first NFL game.

Trost was activated from injured reserve Saturday, practiced fully Friday, and wasn’t listed among the Rams’ reported inactives. He should be available today.

We can’t have one of those turnovers, flags, bad passes, missed tackles games.

Come out sharp and aggressive, we are fighting for our season right now and have no margin for error with these injuries.

Unreal that Atwell is inactive, after his reps have increased week over week and he opened up the field time and time again last week.
My guess is it will be a more run heavy game plan. Any benefit from Tutu forcing the safeties to play deeper, is negated by his blocking.
