Harbaugh wants to bully you. That's how his teams are built. The Ravens under him were a big physical team with a QB who can make plays with his arm and feet. That's what he's doing with the Giants. Expect plenty of pass plays to Isaiah Likely. He's the Giant's version of Mark Andrews. If the Rams don't come out and match the Giant's physicality, it's going to be a long day. If they want to come out and dick around and play soft, both physically and schematically, 0-2 is very possible. They better get their minds right for this one.
 
I have no idea if we can win this one. No Garrett. If AD plays how much of an impact can we expect from him? Is he gonna be facing double and triple teams every time he's out there?

I don't even know what kind of team we have. They were pretty bad in all 3 phases. Was that an anomaly? Or is that our team? I think maybe somewhere in the middle.

They'll have moments of good play. Moments of bad play. Hopefully the good moments outweigh the bad and we come out of there with a win.

Really ?? I get what your saying,but you have to think The RAMS are going to show up for there HOME OPENER!!

Unless of course you want to call Australia there Home Opener. I do see similarities the niners & Giants in a few ways.

There injuries & QB’s who are Mobil & good in the screen game.

If your looking at both teams wins last week.Count The THIRD DOWNS converted. Stopping 3rd Downs has always been key to Shula’s defense.
 
Agree with the assessment that the Giants will come out and try to bully our team on both sides of the ball. After getting bitch slapped in Australia, I expect the Rams to come out swinging in this one. We can take advantage of their young corners but the line needs to hold up. Stop the run game and don't give that pussy ass cushion on the other side and the Rams will be ok. We shall see how it goes.

I believe the Rams will respond because of the character of their players. The only home field advantage of playing in LA is the players getting to sleep in their own beds. Visiting teams with diehard fan bases routinely outnumber LA fans. Which pisses me off because it's fucking embarassing. Expect to see plenty of Giants blue in the stands Monday night.

The Rams will play Zone coverage this game, and honestly that will be the right move with Dart. He'll eat you alive running the ball if we play man coverage. I know it's not what we want to see or hear but some teams you have to run certain schemes to negate the QB from getting 10 - 20 yards running the ball.

This will be my first encounter with Giants fans here in LA. Curious to see what that looks like here. Yankee Fan-Lite? I have faith in our Rams and fans this game. I think the Rams feel embarrassed and have something to prove. I liked what McVay had to say and his eagerness to come back strong. GO RAMS!

I believe this to be the case as well.

If we play strictly zone, that's a huge mistake. There are ways to play man and still have a QB spy or even have zone concepts mixed in with some man so I'm not buying that thought that zone is the only way too go. I wanna see them mix it up for once. Teams getting a beat on the defense is a problem we don't wanna have. Lastly, didn't Purdy look like Vick on us anyways? Aw fuck me for thinking about that shit game again lol

I think we're going to see a completely different Rams team out there on Monday. I think the Giants will be a tough opponent so expect it to be a fight but I have faith in this team pulling its collective heads out of their rears after the week 1 debacle.
 
If we don't have an answer for their run game featuring the big fullback, it might end up being a horrible repeat of the last game. Long drives with high ToP, our O doesn't get into a rhythm. How can we stop their run schematically? What changes can we make there (aside from hopping in the time machine, going back, and drafting a stud ILB)?
 
There are no guaranteed wins in a season. I will compound that by saying the Rams have a lot to prove to be able to dominate any game this season. I will stick my neck out a little bit and say if the Rams were to play the Browns or the Dolphins with their current roster, those are the only ones I would say are in the bag. They need to play with their hair on fire every game this year to come anywhere near a legitimate playoff team. I’m a homer so I have faith they can do it.

Well...after the 9ers fiasco and the 1st week of NFL games, I'm ready to look at the Giants game. The hope is reality hit the Rams and they're putting in the work!!! McVay didn't even look ready last week. As I saw it...the Rams played the 1st qtr and then faded.

We didn't see a sharp Rams offense, so they need to show that Monday. We know Garrett is out but Donald will most likely play...how much is unknown.

I'm basically saying, I'm in "wait and see" mode for this game. I think the Rams win...BUT HOW SHARP ARE THEY???

They 9ers were PREPARED...will the Rams be PERPARED on Monday??? They will have had plenty of time get prepared!!!

It's on McVay and Shula folks!!!
 
Have they added anyone to the active roster yet in place of Garrett?

Yes the Rams usually are going to give their best after a disappointing result. Also they're usually a nightmare when McVay has more prep time for the game. Both things are true in this one, which insinuates the Giants are going to see a very motivated and ready team. :hope:

I think obviously this will not be strictly zone, but probably a minimum of 70-80%.
