ESPN get Up and NFL Network talked Rams/Chargers game this morning. The only play they showed from the whole game was the interception, ESPN showed it 9 times, NFL 3 times, the ONLY play they showed. They didn't mention the 300+ yards, 3 Tds, marching down the field AFTER the int, ni, nothing, just hammered on the interception. This is just one of the many, many reasons both networks suck ass anymore.
 
Saw a thing where the Rams LBs were rated 32nd... I feel like that's total bullshit. Speights and Landman are gonna rock, imo.
I saw the same rankings article, I love it. Go ahead and underestimate this almost entirely new ILB group, they will not be the Achilles heel of the defense this year. But then again, any article that does not rank the Rams front 3 as the best in the NFL deserves scrutiny, haha.
 
Seem to recall before the NFC Championship game Garoppolo's record against the Rams was 8-0, so I just remember him always beating us.
You recall a QB with an elite running game behind him, consistent protections, and quality weapons across the field to throw to. If you want to see what he looks like without that combination of those things cue up some Raiders film.

Nothing against the dude. I appreciate him as a Rams backup QB. If we need him to play he should be able to settle in as a game manager for us, and that is valuable, though whether he can stay healthy behind an OL that will probably spring leaks from the left side we will see. So for us to do anything this season will require Jackson to settle in for a long run of games, first off, and then Stafford to play, be kept clean, and stay healthy.

Translation is we're a darkhorse. A very dangerous team that has everything if it all comes together.

I think that they still feel we have Reeder and Rozeboom starting. I would agree with that ranking.
 
Jeez, fine, guys. I'll call him Tutu, if you want. I can tell I'm pissing y'all off with that, and I apologize; that's my last intention.

Nah. We’re just having fun with you. But in all honesty, McVay calls him TuTu and I doubt he’d do it to piss him off.

Dolac is excellent. They need to pair him with Speights. Neither are what I'd term elite ILBs that come along rarely, but both are very good and Dolac is faster than most ILBs with them 4.55 wheels plus his lateral movement and anticipation.
He moves well and is intuitive on where to position himself. Other than looking a little undersized I see a high ceiling for him.

But yeah, I figure it's time to get off my hill. Got plenty of better hills to die on.

Wow that's insane. And exactly why I don't watch any of that network replay bullshit anymore when there's so much actual analysis available on the internet now.

Call him Atwell if you prefer. It shouldn’t bother anyone. I don’t get the hang up. I don’t care if you refer to him as Shitferbrains. It’s your prerogative.
