GDT: Cowboys at Rams

[Frogbelly]

VANILLA WINS :yay:

 

[Ramhusker]

I really think he does make it. It will depend on special teams, really.

Yeah, he really needs to fill Reynolds shoes on STs.

 

[RamWoodie]

I'm hopeful from what I saw. It's preseason...but one thing I come away with was the drum I beat in the last 4 weeks of last year...

WHY DIDN'T FISHER GIVE MANNION A START????

 

[BriansRams]

Gurley, Cunningham, Brown, and Green? That doesn't work?

Gosh then, wow. I wonder if the surprise is that Brown will be the man out? I would think not, but stranger things have happened. It comes down to who's performing better on the field in the end.

 

[Ramhusker]

What exactly do they have assembled at the end of that one endzone? Looks like a horse racing starting gate.

 

[SierraRam]

So... Tavon, Britt, Marquez, Cooper, Spruce? Thomas and Quick are most likely cut or one of them makes it?

cut 'em all. keep 9 guys in to block and just send spruce out. all set

 

[den-the-coach]

I love Sean Mannion!

 

[RamWoodie]

I sure wouldn't want to face the traffic there now...

 

[Florida_Ram]

I Found Spruce's GLOVES on Ebay... I ordered 22 pairs and will FedEx them next day air to coach Groh...

 

[Ramhusker]

ARE YOU KIDDING ME? $100 to park?????????????????? DAMN!

Well I quit watching after the third quarter ended since I could care less if our fourth stringers can beat theirs. Sounds like ours were succesful though. Too bad our starters were completely inept. Dallas embarrassed us. Fisher's got a lot of stuff to fix to stop this 7-9 bullshit.

If anything about tonight's game is getting the win. I don't care if it's the preseason, regular season, or the playoffs. Winning breeds winning.

I'm sorry but I have to disagree with this. Preseason is like baseball spring training. Win-loss is meaningless. That's not to say that the game is worthless, however. The key is figuring out which takeaways are relevant (each player has a unique goal), which stuff is just window dressing, and which stuff not to freak out over.

Early thoughts.

Pros (in no particular order)
- Fans showed up it seemed! Loud! Nice!
- Higbee should be real good, real soon!
- Spruce is a baller. Hands and separation can't be understated
- Green will still be #3 at best, but the speed and elusiveness is intriguing and makes him a threat
- Goff...saw the arm. 9 attempts doesn't give you much to work with. Fisher clearly wanted to play it safe since Marinelli wanted to be a douche. Whatever. We'll see more of Goff soon enough.
- *tin foil hat on* Refs are gonna give us help here and there I think.

Cons
- I'm just putting it here instinctively, but I have to re-watch the OLine. May not have been as bad as my first impression. Hmmm.
- DBs. Ugh. I'm afraid we're gonna see more of the patented 'Corners play off coverage, giving the easy 5-7 yard pick ups.'
- Cowboys got away with some holding.

That's leftover from Santa Anita...The price was right for SK, so he'll find something to do with it...Probably convert it into a $400,000 studio apartment !!!

Fisher says Goff's left shoulder was sore after the hit so that's why Goff was pulled early.

 

[Gilley]

Best pre-season game I've ever watched.

I think it was some bleachers they borrowed from the local high school.

I'll take wins over losses any day with any group of players. Playing as a team means much more than individual accomplishments.

I am actually DTLA bound, bar hop and to see a lot of smiling faces. Til next game.

Can we carry four running backs? That's where my headcount question comes in. We going to drop a TE? WR? Not an expert by any means on positions and how many typicly make the 53 but I think we carry 3 QB's so something has to give. (Mannion showed his worth tonight).

EDIT: Chase Reynolds, RB, special team standout. Does he count as a fourth RB?
