I'm talking about Brian Schottenheimer! I thought he called a very good game. Since it's easy to make him a whipping boy when the Rams lose (I've been guilty), I thought it would be nice to give him props when he plays a major factor in the Rams pulling off a big win. I especially thought the shovel pass to Benny was a fantastic call for the a TD. It was a good day for the Rams staff overall, but I thought
Best game as a Ram?

I dont know.RAMS only scored once (albeit when it was needed) in the 2nd half. Once again he seemed to be getting too conservative as the game got close. There were times when the defense was gassed and really needed a sustained drive to give them a blow on the sideline, but the O couldnt manage to put one together
Best game he's called all season IMHO.
I love the more conservative approach and keeping the long bomb for when the opportunity is there.
I will never agree with the TA up the middle, but hey, it mostly worked.
Also props to fisher for the fake punt. Balls.
I think this season as a whole he's been pretty solid. I think there are still innovation deficiencies with his offense, but I really don't think in general his scheme has been bad.
I'd like to see them use Austin differently than they do. Very strange to me that the most they can get out of him is run plays up the middle.

Watching the Denver game a wondering why the Ram's pass routes are always dead ends or come backs. The good teams pass to their Wrs while they are running full speed.
thats what good/great QB's are known for..leading the receivers
The defense was gassed due to their own inability to stop the Seahawks at all in the 2nd half. The offense wasn't that bad in the second half. They had 4 possessions...PUNT, PUNT, TD, End of Game Drive
2nd half possessions for the Rams:
- 3 and Out (Had possession for about a a minute and a half)
- After the D gave up an 82 yard TD Drive....Rams went 34 Yards starting from our 20, going to SEA 45 yard line, before we Punt. (Had possession for about 4 and half minutes, plus the End of 3rd Qtr. break). Almost went for it on 4th and 1. The D had plenty of rest.
- After the D gave up a 91 yard TD Drive...Rams and Schotty engineer an 80 yard TD drive of their own. (Had possession for about 4 minutes). Plenty of rest again.
- After the D gave up an 80 yard TD Drive...Rams go 48 yards in the final 3:18 to secure the win.
Pass/Run Ratio in the second half: 13 passes (including Hekker's fake) / 10 run. There were some shorter/safe passes, but there was also a 19 yarder to Quick, and a 30 yarder to Givens in the mix.
** I've been pretty critical of Schotty, but he called a very good game IMO. The defense certainly did not play well at all.
I agree with everyone's sentiment. As usual though, trouble scoring after the first half. The opponents D adjusts to our O at half time and it takes us forever to get it going again. Much of it has been due to poor execution but I place part of the blame on Schotty.
Fortunately, Davis has been pretty good in clutch time. Seems to play a little better.

Defense did not play well at all ! We have been saying that alot this season. going into this year it was suppose to be our strength.
