I thought our DL played great and kept us in the game along with Ramsey. Think about how terrible the secondary would've looked if Jalen wasn't there. Outside of him they have ALL struggled through 5 games this year. D Will's ankle injury scared me at first, but honestly hes been flat out bad this year. We need to see more Rochelle and let him get snaps to develop. Im also tired of Rapp playing deep, its just stupid as fuck. Burgess needs to take over next to Fuller (whos been invisible also) and let Rapp come down and play the 3rd safety in the box in certain packages.

Glad to see one of my CB draft targets starting out with this kind of praise from coach and from Ramsey. One out of how many dozens right is something I guess
Fuller could be over thinking. The responsibility of making the calls may be slowing down his football instincts. Also, someone mentioned he played the other Safety position last year. Maybe that plus the play calling?
Some times it feels like this coaching staff needs a brick to fall on their collective heads to play the right player. Last year it was Noteboom. This year it is Long. At least this year the player everybody can see, doesn't have it at the position he is playing at, didn't need to get injured to get replaced.
Now we need them to figure out the Rapp issue.
I just choreographed a cheer for our new look defense...

For those of you clamoring for Burgess more luke warm news. McVay and Morris both have been talking as if he's not ready to play for one reason or another and this really isn't a ringing endorsement either. Not sure we see him anytime soon. I'm reading between the lines but this sounds totally like a player issue with ability or learning the defense.

Glad to see the Rams weren't afraid to admit something wasn't working, and pulled Long in favor of Rochell. Even with 2 big mistakes (the PI and the TD) IMHO Rochell looked a lot better out there than Long. Really liked Rochell's pass break-up in the EZ, for example.
Rapp keeps getting burned. Kinda hope we see either Burgess or Hughes get a chance.
Not a surprise when you consider how poorly Rapp fits back there. Scott isn't all that great either though I do appreciate that INT he made. But I mean if Burgess can't beat those guys out in a look that he played a ton of in college, and he is in year two here... Welp that's a wrap.
Wasn't the PI that long pass where if he didn't knock the dude down it was going for a TD? If I'm given the choice between a TD and a PI, I'll take the PI. All that to say, I wouldn't call it a mistake.
Very true but he was out of position to bring it to that choice. Ideally he plays it better and it's not a td or penalty situation. It was a good penalty but not a good play type situation.
I am offended by the word “Demise”
unrealistic to me that this thread still has life in it.
can I get a check from Biden? I am offended after all. Can we have a ralley? Maybe take down a statue or something?

If you can't accept objective reality, perhaps you could try constructing an alternative fantasyland. Kinda like pretending you won when everyone knows you lost-- that sort of thing.
Agree with this, sadly. Saw some of McVay's presser from today. When asked about Burgess, McVay gave only one quick sentence of token praise, and then moved on to a different subject. About Rochell, on the other hand, McVay went on at length, praising his competitiveness and resiliency and toughness.
Really curious what the deal is with Burgess-- wonder whether it's physical or mental. So weird because Burgess really looked like he was coming on last year before the injury.
I thought this thread WAS alternative fantasy land.
But I’ll pretend you didnt you reply, because my post was not serious enough for the reply you gave.
He's been doing similar to that since camp honestly. Not sure what it is but he's not where the coaches want him to be after a very good rookie year.
