I’m very interested in seeing Mathis on the field.

Mathis would be a better matchup on the edge than Hoecht. Need speed to chase down Hurts.

I’m very interested to see what he can do. Scouting indicated concerns about his run D on edge… hoecht has definitely improved there. Mathis has ridiculously long arms and some explosiveness & bend. If he can help with the pass rush, I’ll be thrilled.

I’m very interested in seeing Mathis on the field.

I have a feeling our coaching staff feels the same for a good reason. Excited as well!

Did Mathis play a down during preseason? I don’t expect him to see that much action tomorrow.

I don't believe so. McVay said the other day that Mathis was injured 'during the five-day acclimation period'.

Why does it bother you how they use him? If they want to start him how does it affect your life? He will stay on the field as long as he can and when he goes down either Dotson or Jackson can come in without a hitch. Don't see what the problem is with that.

As long as the 8 guys they use on game day can block I don't care which way they use them.

.

Where did I say it affects my life. What a strange response that is. We're talkin ball here and we all have varying levels of patience.

You don't agree? Ok then. Have fun expecting him to stay healthy. I'm over that shit.

I’d love us to grab Fashanu

If we do will you shout Awooga when his name is read out?

I had to Google that reference. Gladiators was not something I watched.

Cool thing about this game is we are expected to lose. Going vs an undefeated NFC Champion team.

If we can at least play competitive and give them problems then it confirms we have a team to challenge later in the year.

If we lose, it's bearable. If we win, it will be glorious.

The only scenario that will piss me off is if we have them beat then let them off the hook for some BS, like the Cincy game.

That, or we lose by 20+ points.

I’d expect us to put up a decent fight win or lose, and not get steamrolled.

Tell me whose starting upfront ?

 

[So Ram]

There are two differences in Jackson and Noteboom.

First Noteboom has been around longer frustrating fans by not being available.

Second Noteboom as a starter struggled greatly last season as starting LT when he was available.

And I will add that criticizing Noteboom should not require a fucking caveat or comparison with Jackson. Noteboom is a walking injury risk on his own merits. Jackson is apparently following in his footsteps, though I will say he plays well at LT when he is available.

Neither can be trusted though. We need to draft a LT. But for now it sucks ass that we have to hope Jackson can make it through the game.

Few days back I said Boom earned that RG job. But since he cannot stay healthy I must admit swing OT is his ceiling. I am fucking done with hoping he can stay healthy. Give Dotson the nod at RG the rest of the way and let's hope he can show some consistency. If and when Boom returns hopefully we can leave his ass on the bench as swing OT.

These guys have played well in Noteboom & Jackson.It was nice to see Dotson play well at RG.
-You have your opinion,mine is that health is key.Anchrum stinks no matter what anyone thinks.
—Leaving Zach Thomas at LT & not moving Noteboom there was a mistake by The Rams.

Having someone like Munchak around helps in whole.

Sean McVay won't rule out bringing Mike Munchak onto Rams' coaching staff

Mike Munchak has been a consultant for the Rams and Sean McVay wouldn’t rule out bringing him onto the coaching staff.

A lot of season left ahead but Witherspoon's problem has just been staying healthy. He's been pretty good last 3 or so years but just could not stay on the field. Hopefully he can play a full season and earn himself a contract.

We don’t talk about that.

Yes. Our O has to start very fast and we need a couple of quick take aways. Make it so they have to pass to catch up.

Don’t tell McVay that. It seemed to be his game plan versus Cincinnati and he forgot about the running game.

 

[Elmgrovegnome]

What would be very cool to me is if we can actually run the ball on this team. Nobody is supposed to be able to do that.

Looks like a good matchup for the Rams Defense. Eagles O is about running the ball and throwing deep down the sidelines. Stopping Swift is the key in my opinion. Good opportunity for our outside Corners and Safeties to get some picks.
