You will see a new starting CB on the roster next season through the draft or FA. It's a problem.

Surprised it took so long. Well actually not surprised

From the Article:
Per advanced stats, Kendrick had allowed 15 catches on 18 targets and 218 yards in the last four games alone. That’s over 10 yards per target, with a touchdown allowed, and Kendrick has been one of the most penalized corners in the NFL. That includes several key end zone defensive pass interference calls that led to touchdowns.

Needed to happen but our secondary just let Jordan "fucking peashooter) Love to complete 20 of 26. Can't blame Kendrick on this one though.

 

[Tano]

I didn't think he played much.

Very correct. He played 3 snaps. But yeah 10 for 12 in 2nd half before i quit.

Well we were right about Kendrick all season if McVay and Morris saw it to demote him

I kept wondering why we started Kendrick when he was demoted at the end of last season and hadn't shown any improvement.

For some reason McVay keeps allowing below ability performers to start (Evans last season for example). They must be great during practices to start games.

Next guy up on my list are two guys - Rozeboom and Reeder (they were both pathetic yesterday) - Reeder trying to keep up with a TE was just laughable yesterday.

Plus you know how I feel about Hoecht being an OLB. Move him to 5T Morris - sheesh

He's been terrible since he got arrested. Dude's mind is not right, which is not exactly a surprise but either way it's a big difference vs how he played early in the season, which was not perfect by any means but effective in a lot of situations.

Durant's injury makes things worse too. We need him out there, and Tomlinson needs to start post-bye. Some time on the bench will do wonders for Spoon's mentality I'd think, and if not then he shouldn't be on the field anyway.

Thinking Morris regains top billing

Thinking Morris regains top billing

A very valid choice.

 

[RamDino]

I don't think Kendrick played horribly but two things made a big difference... the penalties and the arrest (head not being right?). And the lack of a pass rush is killing our secondary. There were times that Jordan Love (Jordan fucking Love) had about 20 seconds back there. He literally waited until someone finally got open. Think about that in contrast to our QB and the time he gets to throw.

As we've discussed a lot there aren't many options.

And yes I've talked about Hoecht and his limitations way too much. A few people were very unhappy with me about it in camp/preseason/draft. My feelings are very much public record about him. And you can put the ILB not named Ernest Jones in the same group.

I started to do a mock but truthfully I just don't know what to do with the picks after the top 2. There aren't a ton of Edges or CB available in free agency. I'm locked in LT and QB with the top 2 unless one of the QB's isn't there in the 2nd because I don't think we'll draft high enough for the top 2 and not a fan of most of the next 3 or 4 unless McCarthy declares. I want a RB and WR but I can't justify them until day 3 which limits them same with TE. These mock off seasons will be rough coming up. It's almost at the point I'm thinking a trade down might be in order.

Should the Rams give Tre Tomlinson a shot at CB after the bye week?

The Rams' cornerbacks are struggling right now and it might be time to give the rookie Tre Tomlinson a chance

um... derion kendrick was on the #1 reciever quite a bit...

go ahead and put whichever CB you want on the others #1.... we'll see soon enough how bad/good kendrick was...

ya the stupid penalties sucked, but you gotta remember, most #1's know how to get in the youngsters head...

what's this, his 3rd year, and he's tasked to hold down the other tams #1 reciever?...

i think the team leaders see a lot more than we do, so i defer...

still the off field stuff is pretty dumb... ya gotta think .....

so... the DK tenure may be over... let's hope we have someone that can play...

go rams

[tklongball]

I thought I saw during the broadcast that Kendrick hurt his shoulder early in the game.

 

[sloramfan]

i'm not against replacing him with someone better...

i'm just not so sure we have anyone that is... again i defer to the guys that know (team execs)

tre tomlinson is 5-9 180lbs... that's 15lbs more than tutu....

didn't kendrick shut down the seahawks DK metcalf, but drew a dumb penalty that metcalf suckered him into IIRC...

be careful what you wish for....

go rams
