The Rams evolved into a smash-mouth defensive team in the 2nd half of last season, and it was the two '9er games that really brought out that mentality. They need to remember to get really low when meeting Senor Gore as he has a tendency to drop his center of gravity and gain leverage against opponents. I am almost wishing Kaepernick takes off on 'Tree's side of the field. Kaepernick has to beware of young McDonald too flying around in the secondary. If he knows what's good for him he will slide rather than take a hit from either one of our defensive rooks.
If we beat the Garnet & Gold with raw power and speed, I think that will fix our heads for the next quartet of games. We will get a week and a half to recover from this one; so we might as well let the Whiners feel it in their bones. :twisted:
