I've posted before that I'm a big fan of the 'homegrown' Rams players and of Maurice, but I've been crazy irritated by his play.
Take a look at this pic...
That shoulder looks pretty heavily wrapped, but I don't recall MA on any injury reports. Could this be what's caused him to not look for contact, not make an aggressive play on the ball (too many times), and take so many bad angles (yea, sorry MA, shoulder don't explain those). But if he's out there toughing it out, might that be cause for hope that he will get back to playing at last year's level? I hope so because he's been the biggest disappointment to me on the D. My very simple uninformed opinion of course.

Cam Newton gives sexist answer to female reporter’s legitimate question
Posted by Michael David Smith on October 4, 2017
Panthers quarterback Cam Newton made a sexist comment to a female reporter today, smirking at her question and telling her he found it “funny” to hear a woman ask a question about football.
The incident started during Newton’s normal media appearance. Jourdan Rodrigue, a female reporter for the Charlotte Observer, asked Newton a completely legitimate question about Panthers receiver Devin Funchess.
Jourdan Rodrigue
“Cam, I know you take a lot of pride in seeing your receivers play well,” Rodrigue said. “Devin Funchess has seemed to really embrace the physicality of his routes and getting those extra yards. Does that give you a little bit of enjoyment to see him kind of truck sticking people out there?”
Newton was smirking while Rodrigue asked the question, and he made a totally inappropriate comment before answering.
“It’s funny to hear a female talk about routes. It’s funny,” Newton said, before then giving some thoughts about Funchess growing as a receiver.
Neither Rodrigue nor any of her colleagues in the local media followed up on that comment from Newton, but Rodrigue later took to Twitter to address the matter.
“I don’t think it’s ‘funny’ to be a female and talk about routes. I think it’s my job,” Rodrigue wrote. “I spoke with him after and it was worse. I chose not to share, because I have an actual job to do today and one he will not keep me from.”
Newton has surely spoken to hundreds of female reporters in the years that he’s been a famous athlete. It’s stunning that he would suggest that there’s something “funny” about a woman asking him a question about football.
Newton will apologize because the Panthers, the NFL and his sponsors will urge him to, but here’s hoping he offers more than just a rote apology. A person with that big a platform should put a lot more thought into his words than Newton did today.

article: Pharoh Cooper=best kick returner in NFL this season

I guess based on numbers but his one fumble and several ill advised returns have also cost the team. But I guess he is getting it done the other times. Needs to make smarter choices though.

There’s been no shortage of superlatives for the Los Angeles Rams this season. They have the league’s best offense, one of the top coaches and an elite running back who’s second in yards from scrimmage.
You probably knew all of that, but you may not have realized the Rams also have the NFL’s best kickoff returner.
Kelvin Kuo-USA TODAY Sports
Pharoh Cooper has quietly had a very strong season returning kicks this season despite not taking one back for a touchdown. Through four games, Cooper leads the league in just about every relevant kick return category.
He’s No. 1 in attempts (11), yards (300), average (27.3), longest return (66 yards) and returns of at least 20 yards (nine).
Surprisingly, no player in the NFL has returned a kickoff for a touchdown yet this season, and only one punt has been taken back to the house. This is the direct result of the NFL continuously trying to phase out kickoffs, which has resulted in fewer kicks being taken out of the end zone.
Cooper does have one fumble this season, but that hasn’t overshadowed how great he’s been returning kickoffs. He was a big part of the Rams’ win on Sunday, too. His 66-yard return set up a field goal by Greg Zuerlein to pull Los Angeles within four points.
Tavon Austin has been shaky, but the Rams’ special teams have been fantastic this season.

Todd Gurley named NFC offensive player of the week
Posted by Josh Alper on October 4, 2017

Rams running back Todd Gurley was the NFC’s offensive player of the month for September and his first October outing showed no sign that he’ll be slowing down.
Gurley ran the ball 23 times for 121 yards and caught seven passes for 94 yards, including a 53-yard touchdown, in the Rams’ 35-30 victory over the Cowboys. He has been named the NFC’s offensive player of the week in recognition of those efforts.
Gurley’s touchdown was his seventh on the year, which is the most in the league through the first four weeks, and he ranks second in the league in rushing behind Kareem Hunt of the Chiefs. Gurley is also one of three players in NFL history with at least 575 yards from scrimmage and seven touchdowns in the first four games of a season.
Those numbers mark a major rebound from his poor 2016 season and a big reason why the Rams have opened the year with three wins in their first four games.

The Rams offense put up 35 points against the Cowboys last Sunday, but they only got the ball in the end zone twice.
That means there was a lot for kicker Greg Zuerlein to do over the course of the 35-30 win. Zuerlein delivered every time.
Zuerlein hit all seven field goals he tried and added a pair of extra points to account for 23 of the team’s points and continue his perfect start to the 2017 season. Zuerlein has now made 14-of-14 field goals and 14-of-14 extra points for the 3-1 Rams and his most recent outing was determined good enough for the league to make him the NFC special teams player of the week.
It’s the fourth time that Zuerlein has won weekly honors during his career and he joined running back Todd Gurley as winners of a weekly award for the Rams on Wednesday.
