Some clips from my sound research at the MCG stadium in Australia. Reports that the Whiners have a large fan base in Australia. The expectation is that the Rams will be playing as the visiting team. They will have to deal with the visiting-team crowd noise level. This is par for the course for the Rams. I hope McVay has worked on getting play calls in faster to avoid unforced errors resulting in early timeouts and delay of game penalties. The good news is it should be much better than playing the Hags in Seattle.

PEAK RECORDED DECIBELS
[127.0 dB] Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG)
[137.6 dB] Lumen Field (Seattle)
[142.2 dB] Arrowhead Stadium (Kansas City) ★ World Record

1. The Decibel Gap (Why 15 Decibels is Massive)
At first glance, the jump from the MCG’s 127 dB to Arrowhead’s 142.2 dB might look small, but decibels are measured on a logarithmic scale
. Every increase of 10 decibels represents a sound that is twice as loud to the human ear. [1, 2]
  • Arrowhead’s record is nearly three times louder to human perception than the MCG’s loudest moment.
The Verdict
The MCG creates a beautiful, inescapable, and massive wave of sound because it is an uninterrupted circular bowl. However, because NFL stadiums like Arrowhead and Lumen Field were specifically designed tightly around a narrow rectangular field to weaponize fan noise, their field-level intensity is much more piercing, sharp, and disruptive to football communication. [1, 2, 3]

I'm assuming Donald will be a game time decision. If he does play not sure how much we can expect from him after two years off. I know he's in great shape but you don't wanna push it too much this early.

I expect 8-10 pass rush downs at least personally. Can't see him sitting on the sideline healthy and not trying to get in.

And I expect him to out there for the 1st snap (starting).

Yeah, I'm sure he'll be on a pitch count. Best to work him in slowly. By midseason he'll be ready for a full work load. People talk about how hard it might be with two years off. But I look at it as two less years of hard contact. If he played the whole time he'd be entering his 13th year with a lot of wear and tear on that body.

Who knows whether he'll play or not. I think he will. But if he doesn't, it'll be for a good reason. This is not a game any player wants to miss. And if he plays, I'd think he'd play more than we expect.

Want to see him play.
Want to see this D play.
And it's a safe bet this is not the best this D will play this year.

Can't wait to see!!!!

I expect him to play and start helping to set the tone. Guessing around 25-30 snaps. Rams will have 11 days off before they play the Giants at home, which gives him time to rest and recuperate. Rams will be watching him closely to see his breathing and if he looks like he is tiring.

Rams key objective is to play the best game possible, provide the best product on the field and win the fucking game vs the 69ers. Not to do publicity appearances to appease potential Aussie fans. If they kick the 69ers ass (like they should) that will be the biggest promotion of Ramdom possible.
F the 69ers. And stand in line future Rams fans. Some of us have been around since the 1960s (1971 for me).

Agreed, the point is to put on the best performance possible. Also, didn’t the Rams already do the publicity appearance? Nobody seems to be mentioning that.

Sadly Mr. Rogers is no more, and he didn't really interview people. Sesame Street could work though:

"Elmo heard you remember every single play you ever did in your whole life! Can you remember where Elmo left his blue crayon yesterday? Please, Mr. Sean? It is very important."
