Damn. That's not ideal. Would love to see David Long get some play. But he's more of a press man CB.
 
Hill sucks in man coverage. Against a running team like the Niners they would be playing mostly zone anyway. If Rapp is back then that will be huge for the secondary. Brown will probably play the vast majority of snaps. He's a better pass blocker.

At least we'll finally get to see Henderson get some meaningful reps.

Fingers crossed he can pass block!

Go Rams!
 
Seeing Talib out makes me think of last year when he was out, which has me thinking about loading up the icebox for Sunday's game. Yep, it's gonna be something stout...

You must not remember last season when Talib was out.

A big part of that disaster was not having a reliable veteran in the secondary to communicate. It led to a lot of breakdowns. Weddle at least helps with that. But yeah, Talib is a loss. I'm not sure why people are acting like he's been the problem on defense.

What bothers me is the breakdowns they've had, especially in zone with their comms and handoffs, in spite of Weddle being out there. And Shanny scheming that up. Then Talib being out. Ugh.

Here's hoping Hill has the game of his life and Peters shuts the doubters up.

Sean McVay admits Rams will allow Todd Gurley to determine his availability vs. 49ers

Gurley is doubtful with a quad injury, but the decision will be up to him

Sean McVay admits Rams will allow Todd Gurley to determine his availability vs. 49ers

Judging by the Los Angeles Rams injury report, it appears Todd Gurley is unlikely to play in Sunday's clash against the San Francisco 49ers. Gurley is listed as doubtful for the game with a quad injury after being held out of practice throughout the week, not a telling sign he'll play Sunday.

Not so fast, says Rams head coach Sean McVay. The Rams will defer to Gurley whether he's ready to go.

"I think he knows his body as well as anybody," McVay said to reporters Friday. "I think we all know what a tough, elite competitor he's been in terms of the things that he's been able to push through. Really, it's just about that collaboration, that communication and then making sure we do, number one, what's best for him.


"He'll always be able to communicate that honestly with us. We're a better team when we do have Todd Gurley, but if he's not feeling right, then that's where you have the confidence in the other guys to step up."

Gurley suffered the quad injury in a "Thursday Night Football" loss to the Seattle Seahawks and had three extra days to recover from the injury. Despite the added time, Gurley still wasn't able to get on the football field. If Gurley can't go, the Rams will turn to Malcolm brown and rookie Darrell Henderson. Brown has 26 carries for 114 yards and three touchdowns on the year, but was held to one carry last week. Henderson has just one carry on the year, going for zero yards.

Gurley has 64 carries for 270 yards and five touchdowns on the year, averaging 4.2 yards per carry. He has yet to finish with more than 16 carries this year as the Rams have been monitoring his knee since the end of last year.
 
Gonna miss Talib. That's my guy there. If I didn't know better, I would almost think the Rams are sandbagging. Lawdy I hope they win this week or I am going to have to listen to so much shit from the most annoying colleague ever.

Thigh contusions are tricky. Sometimes the limited movement and pain fades in a few days, sometimes it lingers for weeks. Dead leg sucks. I had it once as the result of an injury on the job. A skid with a motor on it was hoisted and i wasn’t paying attention as the corner of the pallet nailed me right in the upper thigh. Worst pain ever for the first several days. Every step I took, it felt like someone was swinging a sledge hammer into my leg. If only I had thought to wrap it up and shrug it off.

That veteran leadership was a real loss, but a big part of the problem was Peters not having either the skills or the experience that Wade relies on Talib for.
