How about that game Durant had! A glimmer of hope that he is putting it together.

He moves so well in coverage can, obviously, has incredible ball skills. He's not physical at all and is useless, from what I've seen, in the run game.

Russell Wilson may be the biggest dud in the history of NFL trades. Someone feel free to prove me wrong because he's actually a nice dude. Kind of an odd dude but nice.

The stat of the Rams D not creating one turnover from week 3 to week 11 is quite amazing and certainly speaks to the failing of the soft bend don't break approach.

Hopefully that goes away going forward because games are often decided by turnovers. You just can't win consistently by not being able to force turnovers.

So add players or develop your own guys so this D can deep six that style of play in 23'.

Well, ... his wife Ciara is certainly hot, that's good enough for me.

As I was watching the game I thought, “he’s done and this trade is gonna go down as one of the all time worst.”

Remember the Herschel Walker trade that rebuilt the cowboys into a dynasty? The potential for that to happen with the seahawks is there. Ouch !
I always thought wilson was underrated. He was smarter than the other running type QBs when it came to using his legs, still being a passer first but taking the free yards when they were there.
…but that pick to Ramsey was indicative of a trend started a couple seasons ago—foregoing a 5-15 yard game to throw down field for the big play. Guys who almost never run operate like that.

Seems like each CB we took this year can't tackle worth a damn. At least Durant can cover!

Agreed.

I'm happy the Rams decided to catch the opponents passes when they hit them in the hands.
I'm also happy they sacked Wilson repeatedly.

As for Scheme? Didn't notice anything significantly different.. they just went out and beat ass.

Durant is interesting.. he made some plays early... has been injured a bit... and can't really tackle. But.. he sure does have some ball skills.

Wow great game for the Offensive Line big holes created on the interior by the likes of Shelton, Aboushi & gulp Skura. Overall WTG Rams add in the defense played a great game too with pressure on Wilson and the secondary covering really well.

Many of us have been clamoring for the two TE's set and Higbee & Hopkins played extraordinary well plus they were huge in the run game. Stay the course Coach, keep the double TE set with play action rollouts for Mayfield making this offense tough to defend down the stretch.

I really want them to bring in a third, big, TE... I know people on here love Roger Carter and I'd love to see him carve out a role.. but I'm looking for a beast blocker on the edge, in line.

I agree find out the best blocking TE and draft him later although would love to get Darnell Washington of Georgia, but he'll go too high based on upside.

I think here is our guy.

You want a run-blocker in this class? Spann-Ford is your man. He’s nearly an offensive tackle, and with how well he moves at his size, it may be in his best financial interest to consider a move to the position. That’s because he’s never going to be a dynamic threat with the ball in his hands to warrant a big-money deal. But what he can do is erase smaller edge defenders in the run game. His 82.8 run-blocking grade ranked third in the FBS this season and his 13 big-time blocks led the nation.

I think the Wilson trade will go down as the worst all time trade in history based upon early showings. Of course, that somewhat depends on what the hags do with the haul of picks they got. They also got a few useful players in the trade; Shelby Harris DT, and Fant TE. Both of which have contributed to the hags solid season. They get a top 5 pick this year and a 5th, a likely top 5 pick next year and a 2nd next year. Good lord what a haul for a terrible QB.

This could lead to the hags being good for years to come, which is not cool
