Quotes from practice

Thanks for all the updates @lockdnram21

 

[RamzFanz]

And yet, Jason Cole will put out another report in the coming weeks about how we're considering trading Hekker for a Unicorn.
Nothing can stop these guys from reporting bullcrap.

I'd make that trade.

 

[Ram Pat]

And that's what they were waiting for.
Comfort in the system.

When Goff gets in I just hope Boras and rest have pass play design for release under 2.6 sec , big difference in completion percentage. And he is not the most sturdy built Qb

 

[Picked4td]

Not from practice today but from one of the few reporting that is an expert on his topic. If you want to know how GRob is doing follow LeCharles Bentley and nobody else. You wouldn't think he was capable of doing anything right reading this and other Rams boards.

get back to me when he does that vs a guy with 2 full hands

@OldSchool Thanks for posting that Bentley tweet with the GRob highlights. Very reassuring.

I do follow Bentley but missed that one.

You start Goff at home against a struggling Carolina team and you will win.

 

[raised_fisT]

My buddy has an extra ticket for the Carolina game. Guess I'll have to take one for the team and go. Just have to tell wifey about how/why I will be MIA most of the day AND inebriated when I get back. Meh. If Goff gets the nod, It will be LIT.

The refs just called two false starts and four holds on this video

I'd make that trade.

And another Unicorn Lover is heard from!!

Be sure and get there early for all the great Tail-Gating Parties!
And don't forget ROD Rule #1 .....

Because ....

...It will be time to PARTY!!

I'm sure he looked great. Dude looked great in the camp practices I watched too. At the time I couldn't tell how good his feel for protections were, but the throws alone stood out like crazy. The ones that consistently impressed me the most were his corner fades in the end zone (he drops dimes on those like a machine) and the deep middle strikes. Just about every time a beautiful pass struck downfield it was Goff.

Kid is an aggressive downfield passer with accuracy, people are going to crap themselves once they see him in action with a good feel for the protections.

Fisher tells you you're his QB....start looking for another job....I mean, ASAP...

When he does stuff like this

it's kind of hard to defend the guy.
He is playing better than many of us believe. I'll admit, I haven't focused on him too much during games, but Bentley's tweet was a nice surprise. Usually when I hear his name it's preceded by "holding" or "false start", though it does seem that he has been unfairly targeted by officials at times. Nice post, it's refreshing to see how well GRob actually played.

When GRob was drafted all anybody could talk about was his elite great run Blocking skills in college, I would love to see some of that!! For Gurrrley's sake!!

That clip is interesting...Love me some Bate...The timing is all screwed up...he expected Tavon to be around that corner....I bet if we could see Tavon, he's NOT running full speed, but taking stutter-steps....and screwing up the timing even more...it looks like he's doing what he's told...but the wrong results happen. I've seen other clips of the line not blocking anyone...several players...
My point...it's something to do with scheme/coaching...and too many of the line are screwing up...It should be an easy fix...

While I wouldn't say G-Rob is doing well, I wouldn't say he's the problem...several of his holding penalties are bs....I'd just run the ball his way some more...kinda get those guys in a rhythm...

Time to replace the OL coach?

Honestly that play doesn't bother me at all. The angle is garbage but that play was blown up by others, Tavon was supposed to be behind GRob at that point with him plowing a road. I'm not saying he's great but he takes a lot of garbage hats unnecessary. We all know the kid was a project and it looks like the best coaching he's getting in the off season he's getting nothing from Rams coaches, none of the line seems to be.

Is that you, Spags?

No; it's me, Pat - Mr. Dink and Dunk.

The problem with GRob is mostly the penalties, and after that his struggles with a speed rush.

Go back and look at that play and imagine that Kendricks cracks down on 20 vice running right by him. It would have been a real nice gainer. On every play, even big ones for an offense, you can see players missing assignments, but there will be a key block or execution, or maybe more than one, that make up for it.

The good thing here is that Boras is drawing up some fine plays. Bad thing is these guys are way too inconsistent in execution. Some of it's probably coaching, but then again I think we have some dumb players on offense that maybe don't have their heads fully in the game. Sometimes that's more important than talent, because one or two fewer whiffs per play can be the difference between a great offense and a meh one.
