With Kupp back, I see a win here, even with the young Ram secondary who has by no means been bad and they have a short memory.

Again, I'm feeling a big game for Higbeast getting underneath stuff with YAC yards. We'll see.

Mainly it's the Ram offense that's key Sunday!!!
 
They have draft a left tackle early in next year's draft. If not day one, then day two. They should just move on from Noteboom after the season. He can't be counted on. Jackson is starting to look like another fragile lineman too. They have to have better options for left tackle. Zach Thomas was the main reason for the loss to the Bengals. I have no idea if McClendon is ready. If not, you can forget taking advantage of a vulnerable Eagles secondary.
 
So what is Nooteboom's malady this time? Seems to me there comes a time when you just can;t count on this guy. 2 or 3 games and then he's hurt.
Let hope AJack is back 100%, I have no faith McClendon is ready for LT, especially vs the Iggles. No worries at LG with Dotson there.

I'm not convinced Jackson isn't another injury prone lineman. I hope not. But he's had his share of them too.

You mean the AJack who plays 2 or 3 games and then gets hurt as well? We need a new LT

I not only think that Aleric Jackson is better than noboom but I think he's a lot cheaper.

Both in current price AND draft capital.

Noboom has been consistently underperforming and injured.
His dabacle as a left guard was pretty sad.
 
Best news is that Jackson is going to play. Kupp is a far superior player but, we could win with Kupp out. We will lose almost assuredly if we have that train wreck Thomas out there.
 
Noteboom can take a long walk on a short pier. Oh wait, he would probably get hurt taking a long walk, just put him in a wheelchair and push him off the pier.
 
They're hopeful Jackson will play actually from McVay's last comments.
First question was "With Noteboom out you are anticipating Jackson will start" McVay gave a firm and quick "yes"

then he answered Jourdan with a pretty quick "I think he is going to play"

From his tone and quick response seemed pretty certain to me... maybe not 100% but close to it.

If he says he thinks somebody is going to play he's not sure. Not sure how you could get close to 100% from that. Also he has not practiced at all and even if he does play based on that and McVay not being certain he will play is he even healthy? I watched the interview too and I did not get from anything he said we know for sure Jackson will play unlike his being certain that Kupp will play.

Only thing that seems to be certain is that if he doesn't it won't be Thomas out there.
