Game Thread: Rams @ Seahawks

[blackbart]

2 TD's will give us the lead. We need some blocking up the middle or at least run to Rodger's side of the field.

At this point I say move Saffold back to guard and put someone else Jones??? at tackle. The line is getting blown up EVERY play

 

[RFIP]

Looks more like they need a couple of guards to make holes for Stacy!

Are you serious? Any run game can be stopped but its much easier when you have no wr's.

I'm surprised Seattle is stopping our run so effectively. I'm even more surprised that Clemens is soiling himself out there. C'mon man! You've started 8 games straight!

A lot of bitching about the defensive scheme that has given up 6 points in Seattle in the first half. Maybe expecting a little too much

Because if not for Robert Quinn and our front line causing pressure and keeping them away, and some conveniently placed penalties, can you really say we'd be holding them to that?

I think about everybody's frustrated with the zone, which is well within their right. It's been something that's been ailing us from day one and hasn't ceased.

It's time to start slinging the ball.

Kellen: 7/11 for 58, 2 INT's
Zac: 10 for 3
JL: 3 solos, 4 assists
McLeod: 2 solos, 3 assists

+1

Get some offense!

I understand your point,but when it becomes obvious that your offense can't do anything at all...i'd prefer to see our D take some chances with press coverage more often.

 

[RamBall]

Do the Rams have another OT active? Move Saffold to guard and see if that will get the run game movin. Nothing to lose atleast start the 2nd half with it a see what happens.

Heavens no, Clemens has been doing that all day, and he has 2 INTS to show for it. If we're gonna start slinging the ball, then we better put a new QB in.

Time to open the playbook Schotty.

 

[blackbart]

Saffold is our weakest Tackle playing next to Williams who is the weakest Guard on the left side and Smith playing ROG making 3 of our weakest o linemen starting against a good defensive front.

Anyone that thinks the O Line is not the top priority for this team in the off season is looking to get Bradford killed again. These guys can't run block or pass block. You build a team from the lines out.

 

[jap]

They need to get Mebane blocked to get the inside running game going.

If you're looking for powerful linemen then Greg Robinson should be your target, not Jake Matthews.

So you expected them to shutout Seattle at home??? Like I said expectations might be a little too high. 6 points in a half on the road ANYWHERE is a good showing. It's all about the score board no one cares how many yards they give up unless you are more concerned with fantasy numbers

 

[ramfidelis]

Shotty's offense is offensive! Give the D some help. Holy crap Shotty! Clemons is playing like expected.

 

[RamzFanz]

It's not like they have a choice. Might as well go down fighting. We aren't getting anything on the ground.

Are you serious? Any run game can be stopped but its much easier when you have no wr's.

And even easier when you have no guards.

Whoever Boudreau wants is good with me

Where exactly did I say I expected them to shut them down? All I ever said is that people are frustrated with the zone and allowing people to run all over our defense time in and time out, when it has been proven that it hurts our team more than it helps.
