The concerned thread

[brokeu91]

I'm worried about our run defense, lets face it, we made a 2nd stringer look like a pro-bowler. Murray already had 7,346 yards against us in his two previous games. Our run defense needs to tighten up if we're going to beat Dallas. I hope Greg Williams will be reinforcing the need for good tackling and for watching for the cutback.

The Rams run defense?

Im really worried about Murray next week, he has always killed us and nothing is telling me that will change this season so far.

Well everything about this team is of concern right now and Murray and Dallas have had some great days against us ,but our secondary has shown a willingness to hit ,my friend who cheers for the Cowboys claims Murray wilts when he's hit ,we managed to keep Adrian Peterson from running all over us ,but didn't stop CP .
Maybe we can slow him down enough till we get a lead against their defense , and win this one that way, they gave up 6 yards per carry yesterday we gave up 5, so there's that

I'm definitely worried about our run defense, but Rainey should be and will be starting for some team soon, he's a damn good back.

Funny, I thought our secondary again was our best unit on defense, which is a huge surprise. Linebackers disappointing me immensely.

It appears that our team as a whole, more specifically the defense still needs time to gel. It took them about 8 weeks into the season last year to get comfortable, I am hoping it takes less time this season. I'm a little concerned with coverage scheme, I know Gaines is still green but he was about 10 yards off of the LOS. I thought that left with Walton. I am hoping once Tru and Joyner come back we can solidify our coverage schemes. Hopefully this week Williams challenges the D to stop the run. If we can stop the cowboys run we should win.

WTF, impossible!!

 

[Rams and Gators]

Depends how much Dallas are able to hold Brockers, I can't see it being any less than Sunday, so that's a concern.

 

[rdlkgliders]

Nope I saw it and counted all 7,346 myself. Even more surprising he did it on 9 carries

Brockers? I thought Quinn was held in the most egregious way I've seen sometimes two holding him at the same damned time

 

[tahoe]

Dallas has a pretty potent passing game too, to win this game the rams are going to have to score points.

I saw a couple of the big runs Brockers was being held inside, (but I had had more to drink than usual).

Seventy-Three Hundred and forty-six Yards in 9 carries!? The Field isn't that Long! ( OH! I get it, this should have been in Blue Font)

Run D is porous to say the least. Murray is going to have a field day; again.

 

[drpugilist]

im not as concerned with murray as much as i am with dez. that guy is a monster and showed it in yesterdays game against the titans. the way our secondary stays 15 yards off of rec's is not good in this situation either. with that said and on a bright note, ten had a big te that put up good numbers yesterday and manhandled the dal def. i expect good games from kendricks and cook, that is of course if we are able to give them opportunities and get them the ball.

 

[Irish]

I really don't understand the trouble in the run defense. Run defense is such a basic thing in the grand scheme of things: shed the block, fill the hole, wrap up, wait for help.

Either the team is not fundamentally sound, or they aren't as dominant as we thought they were going to be. I am really hoping it is the fundamentals thing, but I have a sneaking suspicion that our front 7, specifically our LB corps, leaves a whole lot to be desired, which is really, really troubling.

 

[drpugilist]

keep in mind friends that in game 1 we contained ap to >100 yds and everyone here was ecstatic abt our run d. again im more concerned with dez bryant and the damage he could do.

Dallas has a pretty potent passing game too, to win this game the rams are going to have to score points.

Ehh, Tony Romo doesn't seem himself these last 2 games. Maybe his back isn't really 100%. Sure, Dez got 103 yards yesterday but it was on 10 receptions. It's not like he consistently burned the Titans for chunks of yards. Jason Witten has been a non-factor so far. Terrance Williams? Ehh.

I'm hoping, hoping, Zac and Brian can take advantage of the Cowboys defense this go around, and for once DeMarco Murray. He's becoming the focal point of that offense, if he isn't already.

 

[tahoe]

I hope that the rams can put up big points on that horrible defense and make this a fun game

keep in mind that this also seems to be our weakness on defense as well.
