The Oline grades were mostly worse than I expected.. but seem fair. The Limmer numbers express exactly what I saw.. he was moving people in the run game.. but is just unsteady in pass pro. I feel like Jackson and Havenstein's numbers may just be a reflection of the badasses they were lined up against.

Lake is still a weakness in the secondary.

He does some good things for us, no doubt, and he's one hell of a likable kid. But yes he is our most overrated defensive player.

Pooh Paul on the other hand, I think is going to end up being a player.

He's got a ways to go. MacDonald may get it all out of him, however I am fine with Sheattle being the Rams unofficial ILB practice squad. I don't think he stood out very much in preseason, he got beat by a UDFA, and maybe he'll be better down the road as a player for it.

Sounds about right. By halftime I was like welp another shitty early season performance by the Rams big boys. But they did get the dub, and who knows maybe this year they can get their shit together early instead of waiting until midseason.

Allen didn't fumble. He scored the only touchdown through the air and committed a penalty, but that was it. It was Parkinson who nearly fumbled the game away.

Parkinson better give his game check to Landman, in all seriousness.

Come on ! I suppose you blame Pete Carroll for losing to N.E. In the Superbowl.Actually cool to see he WON Sunday to think of a play throwing it in traffic.

With Landman,you can see the change in the game.Warner is the best at punching it out.Kyren leaves it out there sometimes.Ball security is KEY in a lot of games.

I just don’t understand how you can BLAME PArkisan for the fumble.Sometimes it’s just a excellent play & have to applaud the other team.Landmans play I couldn’t even tell you who had the ball for Houston to BLAME.

Mcvay blames some of his play calling.I don’t know if he’d make the same play call again in traffic.The first option got closed up & Stafford saw the open receiver.Parkisian made a nice catch in traffic & just turned with The FOOTBALL securited & his foot planted to turn up field to try to get yards.

Parkisian had that ball tucked away as it is TAUGHT.The impact & power of the LBer with that force is what caused the fumble.YOU can’t blame Parkisian.

And BTW The Rams didn’t release him SO get rid of the HATE!! Cheer Landman for making the play,good plays happen on both sides of the ball. I’d rather the TOUGHNESS of PArkisan making the play rather than WIMPING out & being afraid.

I’d blame him as well if I thought it was just.Can’t agree & view it as such.

Not many would have held onto the Parkinson fumble, looked like crown of the helmet at high impact, bad timing but it happens

exactly, cause he wasn't holding him.

Pff rated him 137 of 142 at his position... 39.2 grade

So yes he was getting beat out there and also getting called for penalties.
