20 Random Eagles Clipped/Rams Roll Thoughts

[AvengerRam]

1. "I love winning, I fucking love winning! You know what I'm saying? It's, like, better than losing?" - Ebby Calvin "Nuke" LaLoosh

2. Yesterday's game was like Luke Skywalker's journey in the original trilogy: great start, took some lumps in the middle, triumphant finish.

3. Okay... enough movie references.

4. Welcome to the party, Darrell Henderson! I love his big play ability, as well as the way he's being used in the passing game.

5. Also love the Cerberus RB approach. Hopefully Cam Akers (ribs) and Malcolm Brown (finger) will be okay for next week. Gotta have all three dogs!

6. What more can you ask from Jared Goff? Completely outplayed Carson Wentz.

7. Micah Kiser was all over the field, and set the tone with a forced fumble and third down stop. His helmet to helmet hit in the Red Zone was unfortunate. Sometimes, helmets just collide.

8. The Rams have averaged 172 yards per game (4.4. ypc) on the ground in the first two weeks. If they keep that up, they'll be tough to beat.

9. Allowing only 3 points after halftime for the second straight week doesn't hurt either!

10. Aaron Donald was quiet... but when you're taking up 2-3 blockers every play, that's not necessarily a bad thing.

11. Jalen Ramsey had 1 tackle... when you're in man coverage on every passing play, that's also not necessarily a bad thing.

12. The Seahawks won and Russell Wilson is playing like an MVP... but they can't be happy about allowing 415.5 passing yards/game (96.8 passer rating allowed) over the first two weeks.

13. The 49ers won... but they can't be happy losing Nick Bosa for the season and Jimmy Garoppolo for possibly 3-4 weeks.

14. Arizona looks solid... but I'm going to withhold judgment on their status as a threat until I see a larger sample size.

15. While I think Cooper Kupp's fumble was somewhat of an anomaly, I really don't see a lot of utility risking him on punt returns.

16. Vegas has the Rams as underdogs in Week 3 against the Bills... just like Week 1 and 2.

17. Still not feeling overly confident about Sam Sloman. That's one to watch.

18. We can't pay everyone, but I sure hope we can find a way to keep John Johnson.

19. Having a punter who can blast a 57 yarder that goes out of bounds for no return is a big deal.

20. Another test next week at Buffalo... at least its not in December!

I too am worried about our kickers low kicks. He seems be pretty accurate but he needs to get that under control or he's gonna be on his way out real quick.

Same issue as last season with AD no one else is getting home when he's triple teamed. Although the eagles were getting rid of the ball quickly most of the time.

I’m reference to your Seahawks comment. I’ve noticed that they can also be run on. They have a hard hitting defense that makes some big plays and intimidates. It’s still Pete’s basic D. I think McVay and McConnel will confuse them easily.

For some reason I’m not worried about the Seahawks. Wilson is off to a hot start for sure but we own those pigeon fuckers.

The Eagles seemed to be working hard to mask their poor pass protection. Wentz’s Intended air yards /attempt in Week 1, when he was sacked 8 times, was 12.4. This week: 6.5.

I don't think AD99 has a sack against Philly in his career

1. I think we blitzed maybe 4 or 5 times? While I understand that blitzing is not a focal point of any capacity in this scheme, Id like to see us blitz more, especially on first down. Especially when you cant get pressure on passing downs.

2. Dont really care what others think on this but Kiser is a solid player.

3. Secondary is loaded... JJ will be expendable if it keeps up.

4. Couldnt be more comfortable with the offense as a whole at this point... not a shocker knowing the stud HC we have and will have for a long time.

Solid win. Build the blocks baby...
