On the bright side:

I wasn’t raped today
But if you were ... like ... during a camping trip, would you tell anyone?

If not, do you wanna go camping?

Old joke, I know, but you're the one who conjured it for me.

My Baltimore themed menu item for the game turned out terrific.

A crab boil with potatoes, corn on the cob, and of course old bay seasoning.

Seriously, the o-line is looking better with Evans and Edwards. I still think their positions will be reversed in the off season. Evans is built like a OG and the Rams have seen enough of OG's playing OT with Havenstein. Edwards is built like an OT.

Whit's age is really showing. Next year it will be Noteboom. Allen will return and be better in his second year as a starter. People denigrate his play but even with his mistakes he's shown he's better than Sullivan. Corbett has looked good at LG and I think it's his job to lose. That trade with Cleveland for a 5th round pick is looking like gold right now.

They have improved the run attack by gap blocking. The coordination of the RBs and the o-line isn't there yet but will be much improved next year. The Rams look to have a pretty good o-line next year with:

LT Noteboom
LG Corbett
C Allen
RG Evans
RT Edwards

Swings Havenstein, Brewer, Shelton

All the swings can play OG and if the LT goes down then Edwards shifts over and any of the 3 swings can play RT. Or Evans shifts over and Brewer or Shelton play RG.

This season they still can get into the playoffs if they run the rest of the table. This team matches up well the rest of the season so I think they can go 11-5. Once in the Post Season they have as much chance as anyone of getting to the SB as they will be a tough out. This makeshift o-line is gaining experience and confidence. The longer they play the better they will be.

In the secondary Hill remains the weak link. They need to play Long now. It's going to be his position next year anyway, so start him now. Yeah he will make his mistakes but I'm tired of Hill's struggling. He's not a starter, a good backup yes, but not a starter.

I'm surprised at Christian who is playing lights out at safety. Time to sit Weddle and play Rapp and Christian. Ekubam out played Mathews, and continues to show he's an impact player. He needs to start over Mathews who showed he's not a complete OLB like Ekubam is. Samson is faster, and stronger at the POA. Go back and look at Clay's sacks and they have all been gimme's setup by AD, Brockers and others. Mathews does not set a hard edge and teams will run right at him. Time to give Ogbo more snaps as well. He's not going to grow on the bench.

Jared simply needs to stay focused and make his throws. Once he gains confidence in his o-line his play will improve. Yeah IMO on the bright side there is a lot to like about our team, now and into the future. The time for the young guys is now. No more need for high priced over the hill vets.

McVay and Snead need to turn the young dogs loose.
