Yeah the Hoecht nosebacker thing works sometimes and makes the center think a bit, but I'd rather have Speights in there.
Wasn't that McCullough? Every time the rb ran into him he got pushed back 5 yards.

They're moving different guys around on different downs/distances and packages. But I swear I've seen some Hoecht nosebacker type usage off the A gaps, which reminds me of our old Eagle defense under Shurmur.Wasn't that McCullough? Every time the rb ran into him he got pushed back 5 yards.

don't think hoecht and Speights play the same position.
Different role. Hoecht has been lining up as an ILB pretty much all season. Much more recently since Reeder has been out. Primarily as a blitzer, but he'll occasionally drop into coverage.You are correct. But the Rams on some downs of late have been standing Hoecht up in the middle and threatening A gaps then sometimes rushing and sometimes dropping off. And I'm not crunching film or anything, granted, but when he's done that Hoecht is in there as a fifth lineman. Which means he's in there over Speights.

Verse and Young have taken a few snaps there as well, but not nearly as often.They're moving different guys around on different downs/distances and packages. But I swear I've seen some Hoecht nosebacker type usage off the A gaps, which reminds me of our old Eagle defense under Shurmur.
Probably. Haven't really looked at the film to see what package is on the field and all that. But he's definitely doing the A gap threat then dropoff thing which was a staple for a couple years for us when we were short up front under Shurmur.You think they're doing that because we're light in the middle of our defense?
I think mainly to add pressure. Jones was effective as a blitzer last year.You think they're doing that because we're light in the middle of our defense?
Good question, the O- line needs help especially if Havenstein is hurt again. A couple of teams like the Patriots may have a barn sale.Went from finding a way to lose to finding a way to win. That's what it takes.
So... Any guesses on if/who we bring in before the deadline?
That’s been the league wide trend the last couple years or so. I think they blew one dead when Stafford had the ball in HIS hands in the last game or two.All season long the refs have been quick to blow the whistle when the D jumps and the Oline engages or points… today they decide to let the plays go!
Yeah...it's kind of weird...Reeder goes down and Rozeboom gets better. Go figure that one...Rozeboom with his best game of the year IMO.

Rozeboom really passed the eye test today. Best game as a Ram!Yeah...it's kind of weird...Reeder goes down and Rozeboom gets better. Go figure that one...
How you like that draft now????How about those Floridians!!!
(Fiske, Verse, Kinchens and DRob)
Its a blessing in disguise now that we won!I was pretty pissed at halftime about how the defense kept biting on the hard counts
But a 10 point game didn’t seem like a big deal against the Seahawks offense
The defense biggest issue today was discipline, or rather a lack of it
We can all gripe about the Puka ejection but honestly I thought it was a bit of a blessing. Sometimes these guys need to be saved from themselves when it comes to injury. I’m not saying the rams are intentionally reckless in that regard. But it was somewhat surprising how Puka went from reinjured to he’s gonna be okay and we’ll see to he’s playing. An extra game off isn’t the worst thing for him.
Happy we won. Like others have said, we should be buyers at the deadline. We can make a run.
Maybe Rozeboom is best at the MLB position in more of a 5-1-5 type of defense? hahaYeah...it's kind of weird...Reeder goes down and Rozeboom gets better. Go figure that one...
What in the hell did that mean???It's pouring rain in Mesa AZ with $47 presenting live Macon GA! Love My Rams!
What crew was that btw. And hope we never see them again.
