Yep- he is one of the better co-commentators out there, although someone in the game thread last night (can't remember who) didn't like him.

Plus, Vilma has the added bonus of making me get the theme tune to The Flintstones in my head every time I see his name.
I think my favorite is Sanches. Vilma is better than some , but a little stiff.

1.Mcvay knows he gets away from the run to a fault.Now he will trust the offense & give teams more to game plan against.

2.The Rozebooms INT clinched it.It was the eight straight runs to start the half.Then Kupp dotting the eye with Stafford.

3.They sort of shut down Puka.Did he change from x,y,or Z? The Cards HC was frustrated inside.You could see him wanting to get back to the film studying.Kyler Murray will be playing the next time they meet the Cards.

4. Cooper Kupp is just amazing.How he gets over the top of defense.I swear watching him at training camp has always been a thing of beauty.He is only going to bring the WR group even closer.VAN JEFFERSON & CAM AKERS were CANCERS.(Me 1st.).

5.Hate to say Jeff Fishers name as well.He learned from Chuck Knox.John Robinson came from the Old USC Student Body Right.
If you look at the tape Kyren darts to his right.I thought of Scott Linehan & SJ(gets over looked).

6.As I posted LMFAO about Oldnotdead dead saying what trash Kyren Williams is over & over again.Right after that 2nd run of the half.Then he goes off was poetic. —My GF wants to be a RAMS hater.She even said it yesterday she wasn’t a Rams Fan.
Every time she does she gets PUNISHED!! She doesn’t even know it yet.That said is she Loved B.Young’s(he has bulked up since then) butt.She wanted a 23 jersey if I was to get her one.

7. Kupp is a HOF WR.Robert Wood helped mold him,but Kupp has always had that drive.Winning the Triple Crown & Super Bowl.The way he blocks & mentors.Always stays positive.

8.Kupp Williams any Ram.Reggie Scott is The Best!! He has a staff that is Top Notch!! To think Donald(of course)Sterling wouldn’t even provide soap for Clippper Players. Stan Kronke has provided The RAMS HOUSE!! Games like this exterminates other teams Fans.

9.from Oldbutnotdead- thank you Raheem Morris & his coaching staff. lol

10.The Classic AD99 was in with the 2nd team at The End(of game).

11. It was F” UP!! The FREAKING Holding Calls that don’t get called.All around The NFL!! When a DE/OLB gets around a Tackle the Tackle grabs the outside arm locking the DE up.How is that not holding???? Hoecht got hurt on a Rams sack & a penalty wasn’t called.There was a clear hold & you can see when Hoecht gets held his face is in pain & it’s almost worse than a policeman cuffing you.He pulled his shoulder out of the socket almost? From his pain.I didn’t get a good angle on it,but I’m pissed The NFL isn’t calling those holds..Vanvakenburg actually got into a little rhythm at DE/OLB.

12.B. Young - thumbs up - Matias didn’t get training camp & is going to be an exciting player.Growing pains.

13.?? Injuries happen

14.The Big question even before the game was about keeping this O’Line together?Noteboom makes the perfect swing.

15.did anyone notice when the 2nd string LBer lined up as a DT?
The 2nd string players showed up!!

16. Stafford is a HOF.

17.Pucka is a stud

18.19. 20. Go Rams
That’s the first time I’ve heard anything negative about Vanjeff, Jordan talks about everyone in the locker room loving the guy and how he went out of his way to interact with the media.

I'm sorry, but Trammell should be cut. Bring up Tyler Johnson, bring up Xavier Smith, bring up someone more dynamic who won't cost the team.
Trammell was the most sure handed punt returner in camp. Of all the returnees I have seen at TC Trammell has been the only 1 to catch 4 punts without putting down any of the previously caught balls. To catch the 4th he held 2 in his left arm tossed the 3rd to catch punt then catch the 1 he tossed up. I had seen 3 a few times but 4 only once, it as this year.

Dude if you are going to mock me then at least get it right. I've consistently said Williams was a good RB. What I said was teams don't fear him and rightly so. He's done nothing until Sunday to make them change their minds. Even McVay didn't respect him as evidenced by shutting him down early in the first half.

I said he ran like he was on a mission, and he was. He knows that he must carve out his place in this offense. Even Akers knew that which is why he returned early from an Achilles injury and also ran like he was on a mission. One great game against an unprepared opponent who is 1-5 does not a McCaffery make. He needs to be that force every week from here on out. That's when DCs begin to game plan him. He can't afford to let up and he knows it. I'm happy for him as he showed he's got the mental fortitude to be good in the NFL. He can't afford to becoming a footnote in this offense.

This offense is predicated upon a strong run attack. It slows the pass rush down when they have to account for a run. Also, give credit where credit is due, he was receiving outstanding blocking in the game. He was more often than not, untouched until he was in the second level. The guys up front did a great job in blocking for Williams. Those consecutive runs in the second half against a DL expecting the run showed how good this OL can be. The pass blocking always lags behind the run blocking.

Also before you say shit like you did perhaps you should simply check Pro Football Reference and Williams performance in the previous games. Only one game of the previous five did he break 100 yds against Indy. Up to last Sunday, his longest run was 11 yds against the Colts who are ranked around 28th against the run. Every other game he was in the low 50 yds in his production and one game less than 40 yds. So everything I said was completely valid.

Do I want him to succeed? Absolutely, why not? Do I think he can? The jury is still out. He didn't against quality opposition. So before you crow about how you always knew it, we need to see if he can continue that way from here on out. Sorry if I burst your bubble.
Honestly your not busting my bubble,nor am I saying that I knew it.
I have Williams on my fantasy team though & picked him up after week 1. All he does is score TD’s.Without even looking it up would say he is easily TOP 10 in SCORING!! You say all you want about yards,but dude knows how to get into The ENDZONE!!!
You’re just always so NEGATIVE & a KNOW IT ALL,I like MOCKING YOU!! No offense though you do you.I try to figure where you’re coming from,but saying The Rams need another RB to be successful? I question.
—Your takes a BS about Raheem Morris was PURE CRAP & not VALID imo.I do get frustrated at times like any (Ram) Fan,but the way you think how players are thinking makes me scratch my head.
You might get your wish & if nothing else Zach Evans & Royce Freeman will get some quality Reps with first team this week.

Well that’s far,but there’s a reason he is GONE!! I could see the writing on the wall.If you go back to his rookie season you could tell he thinks he is better than he is.
If you look at all the photos it is telling as well.Reynolds beat him out & he wasn’t the best teammate.I don’t think he embarrass Cooper Kupp’s mentorship either.
Think as you want,but The Rams didn’t get JACK for him.That 2020 draft real put The Rams back as far as they’re ROSTER! It was probably The Best Draft (pick wise)(or not wise) THe Rams have had under Sean Mcvay.
OBJ brought so much more positive emotion of all players.Love Puka’s demeanor as well,especially in comparison.It’s a WE first,not ME first.
—That is the thing as well with The Ram Players.They’re not going to come out with any NEGATIVE things to say about other Players & Mcvay makes sure of that.

He didn’t perform up to his draft status and he wasn’t going to get resigned. I think that’s pretty much it, I haven’t heard anything from him despite being passed on the depth chart by Puka and Tutu. The rams didn’t have to trade him considering what they got but McVay wanted to give him a shot to play, giving him a chance at a better contract after the year when he’s a FA.

I compare it to Cam Akers.Why did The Rams get rid of Terrell Lewis as well?There’s a time to move on & trust.
The move is going to clear salary cap,& is another reason the trade made sense.I’m 100% Van Jefferson wouldn’t have been happy at all sitting the pine & his attitude wouldn’t have got any better.
