A rushing stat I've been tracking this year

So are you saying that the oline run blocking is the same as last year??? Because I dont see it in fact to me its no where near the same its a lot worse.

It's hard for me to see how the same players in the same scheme would be dramatically worse at run blocking. I think it just appears that way since Gurley isn't breaking many long runs this year. Our run blocking was never any good last year, he just showed more vision and burst.

Hey coach, season IS over!

The million dollar question is this: Jow much longer will rookie Jared Goff ride the bench?

At this time, it appears Fisher is content at leaving Keenum under center until the Rams are out of playoff contention. What kind backwards line of thinking is Fisher following when the NFC West is still up for grabs? There is no real front runner yet. Seattle is 5-2-1 and Arizona sits at 3-4-1.

i gave this post a thread winner for these words. so simple yet so hard to understand for fisher.

it's not happening with case. the only hope is goff.

now he may come in and the rams could lose every game for the rest of the season. or he could come in and help the rams to have a win streak. or he could come in and the rams keep playing the way they have been this season. all these results are possible.

there is only one result possible with case, the rams keep playing the way they are right now.

Greg Hardy arrested for drug possession

For less than a gram 10K and two years is a bit much. That seems like the penalty for distribution, not minor possession.
If it's a state jail felony, it's really not hard to get probation, unless it's like your 3rd felony. Source: I'm on probation for 2 of them (weed) . It's crazy how you think you know someone until THEY get in trouble and can't man up.

Bonsignore; Theory of the best offense is a good defense

I like that he isn't looking over his shoulder that can do nothing but make matters worse. I think there is a good chance the extension is already done and they are holding it back for release after the end of the regular season.

Still a lot of factors going in to this seasons roller coaster that have nothing to do with Fisher. I know he's the one making decisions and eventually there will be repercussions, I just don't think we are seeing him gone in the next couple of years no matter the record.

They are still close to turning the corner and could easily be 6-2 or 5-3, I know they're not but they aren't being dominated by anyone either. SF was a fluke. Seaderal, Ariz, Carolina those are the real Rams minus Gurley. They have to get the balance back and quit throwing the damn ball 40 times a game.

that's easy to say but you cant just keep running the ball and not get first downs. our D will die out there. we need a QB to hit open receivers and stop running in to sacks. another thing I cant figure out is why cant keenum run the ball sometimes,roll him out, bootlegs I have seen him a couple of times with plenty of room to run but he throws in to double coverage instead.

TRANSCRIPT: Rams Head Coach Jeff Fisher (11-7-16)

Goff not playing is the fault of the coaching staff. We have a guy in Keenum that is stinking it up pretty good. The entire offense is stinking it up pretty good. The staff has not been able to acquire enough Febreze to mask the offensive odors. This staff has been trying to put the proverbial lipstick on the pig for quite some time.

So for us, the fans, we have to watch our third best arm talent, at best, start at QB for our ALREADY LOSING football team. Goff probably wiped more arm talent off his backside this morning than Keenum has in his whole body. Yet, Goff sits because Keenum gives us a better chance to win? Newsflash coach, you're freaking losing!! A lot!!

OK coach...if Goff isn't good enough to play yet, in your highly esteemed opinion, then throw Mannion out there at least. Try to do SOMETHING different. You've seen the best of Keenum. If Case has dirty pictures of you, we don't care. We want a winning football team. YOU are not giving US the best chance to win!

Rant off...my apologies to those...well...you know...:pillowfight::football:

RB Trent Richardson thinks comeback will lead to Hall of Fame/On scout team at Alabama

Trent Richardson is running scout team at Alabama practice

When we last heard from former NFL draft bust Trent Richardson, he was trying out for the Chiefs. Kansas City didn’t want him, and neither does any other NFL team, but Richardson is still putting on the pads. At Alabama.

Richardson, who was the third overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft after a good career with the Crimson Tide, was back at Alabama last week, playing the role of LSU star Leonard Fournette on the scout team in preparation for Alabama’s 10-0 win over LSU on Saturday.

Alabama coach Nick Saban said he received permission from the NCAA and the SEC to have former players come back and work on the scout team at his practices. He also had Blake Sims, the Crimson Tide’s starting quarterback in 2014, running the scout team in preparation for Alabama’s game against Texas A&M this season.

Richardson was drafted by the Browns and then traded to the Colts and was a disappointment in both places. He also briefly spent time on the Raiders and Ravens but never played in a regular-season game for either team. At age 25, he has said he still believes he has an NFL future. That seems unlikely, but there are worse ways to stay in shape for the NFL than practicing with the college football team that most closely resembles an NFL team.

Jeff Fisher Post Game

Well .... Next Up, J-E-T-S! Jets! Jets! Jets! The Rams are 9-4-0 Life-Time against them! 0-1 with Fishers as HC! I think we all remember that 27-13 Loss in 2012!
GO RAMS!!

The Jets are certainly beatable looking - even with a west coast team traveling east.

If we lose this'n though - things aren't going to get much easier with Miami and the Saints around the corner. Past those three games, we hit the tough part of the schedule.

:notsure:

Gurley/Melvin Gordon

I knew @NateDawg122 would chime in...

This is week 9...or is it 10? Whatever....not concerned in the least...Although Melvin has been impressive...Nothing like Gurley was last year...and Zeke...I tell all Cowboys fans...the ones that talk about ED's record...call me back when he gets to 1500...then we'll talk.

Gurley avg. 4.0 a carry yesterday..Don't know what the hell Boras was calling...or Keenum was audibiling to...but again 46 attempts passing... I don't even know how many rushes Todd, Tavon, Benny, and Malcolm had...probably around 19

I agree, these kind of threads can be tiresome, but in fairness in comp'ing the players listed. Gordon has been running behind a line that has been a bunch of moving parts all year. Against New Orleans they went through 4 LT's and put up 34 points. They also lost 4 lineman that game. Our own J Barksdale has been moving around the line all year. Its not like Gordon is running behind the Dallas line.
So true....Pitt's line with Bell isn't much to me either. What is it that makes the defenders sit back on their heels??? Hmmmm? Perhaps it's the future HOF'ers taking the snaps????

The "sunshine and lollipops delusional homer thread."

Yeah, his eyes were open wide, alright.

But they weren't even looking in the direction of the ball.

I think the sun was a problem. It was blinding him at that particular angle on that particular part of the field at that particular time of the day.

I rewatched it several times.

Nobody's fault. Just one of those things.

But in a game ultimately lost by 3 points, it was a biggie.

You would think the home team would anticipate this.

Rams vs. Panthers Postgame Quotes (11-6-16)

I honestly didn’t hear them root for (QB Jared Goff) Jared.”
Jeff, a follow up, if I may... "how could you not hear the chants.. they were very loud"?

Jeff Fisher: "I had our guys upstairs pipe "Stairway To Heaven" into my headset.
You think watching that offense is easy for me? Don't be surprised if you see me taking a few tokes on the sidelines if our offense plays like that against the Jets."

Gurley not getting enough carries

I never expected to see or say this: Both in Giants and Panthers game, with game on line in late fourth quarter Gurely was on sidelines. They relied on Benny.

4.6 YPC vs 3.1.

Personally, I have no issue with them calling Bam Bam's number. Fisher says BC is the 2 minute back but hasn't said why, from what I've read. Personally, I don't need a reason why, because BC has earned his role.

What is mind numbing to me is they handed TA the ball once. 7.9 career YPC and they won't give him the damn ball.

Why would they get rid of the plays that worked? TA touched the ball 3 times the entire game. It's unthinkable.

In fact, I would venture to guess that at least 1/3 of Gurley's issue is the Rams throwing TA runs in the trash heap.
