I mean, they can say that all they want.....truth is, Evans hit one of the worst punts I've ever seen. We punted from the 15, punt was fielded at the 43 - that is a 42 yard punt that was a LINE DRIVE. Not sure it would have mattered who our gunners were on that one.
Exactly. The coverage was shit but the punt was tailor made for a return. Evan’s to his credit has had some great kicks this season but that kick was a complete brain fart. If he kicks it out of bounds it could have changed the outcome. Can’t undo what has been done but the Rams should bring in competition for Evan’s this summer before they give him a new contract. He has a huge leg but he lacks consistency. As for the Seahawks FTH!
 
After the game, Rashid Shaheed basically admitted they were running toward Derion Kendrick (#21) on the punt return TD. He said, “We’ve been focused on that left return, field return all week. We knew they had kind of a weak point with their special teams.”

The left gunner on that return was Kendrick, and we ran straight at that side. This is likely why we cut him. If you go back to the TD return the Titans had against us, Kendrick failed to set the edge and they scored.

Watching this again, Seattle got away with some ridiculously blatant holding on Kendrick. The dude bearhugged him and then grabbed the jersey near his shoulder pad and held on for dear life when Kendrick tried to disengage. I didn't want to go back to complaining about the refs, but what the f*ck were they watching on this play? They sure managed to flag us for special teams penalties.

The Officials again did the Rams no favors in that game, but I have grown accustom to them doing that pretty consistently.
 
I don't know why he's even is in a Rams uniform

This is why I was so mad at Puka. He was right for sure - but there is a penalty committed on every single play in the NFL. Every play. I don't subscribe to the theory that refs consciously influence a game, but if I was a ref after that comment from Puka, I would absolutely start seeing more of the infractions committed by the Rams.

Fun fact.....Sunday was only the second time all year we got called for more penalties than our opponent (Tampa had 2, we had 3). Earlier this year against Seattle we both had 6.

On Thursday night we were called for the most penalties all year (8) - we have had 7 a few times - and Seattle was called for 5. THIS is why that comment was so dumb IMO. Infractions are committed on every play - no need to draw the ire of officials so that they start "seeing" them more often.
 
den the coach just couldn't wait to post something negative on kendrick...

the title "we targeted derion kendrick...." is an absolute lie...

the coach never said that.. his quote ended with "left side"

that was an internet posters take... but don't let den the coach pass on some good fake kendrick news...

and then the inevitable truth surfaces, and den has to walk it back...

kendrick was double teamed and blatantly held... maybe watch the vid you post before you post...

maybe even break it down like mcvay (a real coach) most likely did, and knew what transpired on the play...

i'll guarantee he didn't throw the kid under the bus, like many here do regularly...

im thankful i'm not the only one in this thread that saw through your BS... and absolute garbage post

maybe take it up a notch... before you post your next headline...

hang in there derion... i'm not the only one that hopes for your success...

go rams

Part of the reason that seattle cut kendricks was his poor st play.

This isnt a smear campaign.
 
It is obvious that the HC sees their contributions as the critical component to the 2 biggest loses. Catalysts is a good way of putting it.
The first block in the eagles game gave them momentum and hope.

The punt return did the same. Tack on the missed extra points and field goals contributing to the other 2 games and the blame is squarely on special teams.

I mean Offense and Defense are going to eb and flow. There is another team on the field. Special Teams above all do no damage. That is all the coach asks.
 
let me start with a merry christmas to all... thanks for a great year here at ROD...

and with that i'd like to apologize to den the coach...

sometimes my blood gets to boiling, and i always regret a reread of my posts afterward...

i was surprised not to see an allen to mcvay pat on the back to you for the find, otherwise the list of who
i need to apologize to would have certainly doubled...

no need for new years resolutions cuz i know how many time i wanted to throw my remote thru the tv, thanks to DK
and his seemingly always critical stupidity at the most inopportune time...

it's really hard to stick up for a guy that seems to get flagged or go berzerko at the wrong time...

well i see he hasn't been cut so i guess i win that pathetic argument... yipeee! ;) :thinking::woozy:

so here's to a happy new year to all, and go rams all the way to the superbowl...

It was fair brother, I should be better than that. Appreciate you and everyone else because if the title had Alex Johnson & not Kendrick I would not have posted it and that is me being transparent.

Fair enough, and I should be better as well. Like him or not, Kendrick (and Reeder, for that matter) is a Ram, and the rules of the forum are very clear on current Rams.

So, to DK, Reeder, and anyone else I've bashed, I apologize, and I'll try to do better. Just stay clean off the field, and make a full effort on, and I won't have any issues with you.

IDK, the new year hasn't even started yet and now we are going to include Troy Reeder in this? You are asking quite a bit of me Ramily, quite a bit.
