Rams opened up Rob Hav’s practice window today.
I saw that earlier this afternoon on nbcsports.com (NFL News). Its and excellent site for sports updates.

If something is reported ... local or national ... print, radio, TV, internet ... it is timely made available.

The negative is that this site also provides commentary / opinion ... and THAT is fucking useless.

The Havenstein practice-window report is a good example. Here is what the site's commentary stated:
'Getting their RT back in time for this week’s game against the Seahawks would be great for the Rams’ offense.'

Does anyone here think for a second that Havenstein would replace a healthy Warren McClendon? I don't.
In my opinion, McClendon has clearly out-performed Havenstein since replacing the injured veteran.

It's a Great Example of the point that, as die-hard Rams' fans, we know MUCH MORE about our team than the national sports media.

No - I don’t think he will be the starter - but if he is healthy enough to play - I’d sure as hell like to have him available to back up Warren. Depth matters.

And since this may be it for him, it would be nice. However, someone would have to be inactive.
 
I wonder if any of our OL’ers ever played TE and has hands.

Again, a minor criticism of McVays playbook is it’s not exactly creative or willing…in terms of trick plays or using non-conventional packages.
Trick plays somehow instantly piss me off when I see them unfolding during a Rams game.
They're usually either working successfully against us, or we're looking like the keystone cops in an attempt to pull it off.
Except for our successful fake punt in '24, of course. :part:
And I'm pretty sure that I was screaming NOOOOO !!! at the TV whilst it successfully unfolded. :scream:
 
We could put Hav at TE for running plays, that would put more beef on the o line
Yeah good example. This is kind of a vanilla offense in terms of creativity. It’s a complicated, high performing and functioning offense…but this is another area where McVay’s conservative nature comes out.

Agreed.

It’s why I’d like to see it become part of the playbook occasionally. In practice (obviously) and then tinkered with a little more often in games.
 
3rd rematch? Hmmmm.....
Would be the 2nd rematch of this season

Doing the same with my hat too. Also flying my Rams game day flag, as well as the old style blue and white rams head yard banner.
Gotta have it all working.
Got a spaghetti stain on my favorite jersey at the restaurant prior to the wildcard game. Haven't cleaned it yet. :laugh3:
