Offense has to show in this game. 2-9 on third down has to improve. Adams needs to show up along with the TE's. I'm sure McVay is in Stafford's ear telling him to take what the defense gives and get the win.
I was kidding. Also I don't disagree with either of your points above.
When will they release a practice report? I know they have the latest game so its later, but would be very interested to see who is practicing and who is now. Our safeties could be in shambles potentially.
I'd like to see Whittington inactive and Tutu or Daniels active this week. You cannot be worse at returning then Whittington was, literally. Tutu at least has a chance to break a long one if he see's daylight. 0% chance with Whittington, the kicker could run him down. Not to mention, the safeties have to pay far more attention when Tutu is on the field then Whit. I'd love to see the success rate of throwing it deep to Tutu, it has to be fairly high.

I don't know about this game. I'm not convinced what we saw last week was merely a result of a long flight or lack of play in pre-season games. SF was far more physical, and this Giants team looks the same. Rams better get a lead in this game or it will be trouble. I don't expect them to cover the spread either. And how about throwing to a TE or three?
The Rams basically have the exact same team as last year minus Verse and the 2 corners that retired. The rams added Garrett(IR), McDuffie, Watson, and Donald.
Losing no one except Verse/Garrett and adding Donald/Mcduffie/Watson yet our own fans are acting like the season could be over because Garrett is out for four games.
I expect the Rams to come out and punch the giants in the mouth. The offense should be able to do its thing and as long as the Rams defense plays more to its strength, they should be just fine.

First off nobody is acting like the season is over.
Secondly it's not just that Garrett is injured. It's that Garrett looked like shit game one after we gave up a boatload of draft futures for him and a starting Edge, our new corners were poorly utilized by our DC, our front seven got pushed around by a division rival, our offense looked like a flaming bag of shit, our QB is old with hard miles in his rear view, our special teams looked like typical garbage, and so on ad nauseum.
There's a lot going on right now with this team. Discussing it may be painful, but it has to be done. This is what we do.
Yes he looked like shit because he was injured.
Rams gave up a 2027 first rnd, 2028 second rnd, and 2029 third rnd picks. Not insignificant, but definitely nothing crazy or that will impact the rams too much since it’s spread out across three drafts.
I do agree that the corners were poorly utilized and you would have to hope that there’s an adjustment there in future games. That’s why in my original post I mentioned playing to the defense’s strengths.
I also agree that special teens was nothing special.
But my point remains the Rams are literally the same team last year minus their top edge but then adding McDuffie, Donald, Watson. I think the doom and gloom over the Garrett loss is a little overstated, but just my opinion.
I don't know why the Rams don't move Lake to ILB and use him to captain the defense from the box. He's not going to be an elite ILB, but they don't have any elite ILBs anyway. And they could go get a slot corner like Kenny Moore to take that role when they want to move McDuffie outside the hash.
That's the whole middle of the defense dinged up.
Vs Skattebo. !!!
Another physical game coming up.
And no "immovable object" NT behind Poona.
Maybe give Norton a call-up ???
Gonna need some mass up the middle sounds like.

Your point was you don't approve of conversations about how this team came up short. But some of us are willing to have those conversations.
Kitchens has been pretty bad in coverage so far in his career. Yes he's had some nice INT's but overall he hasn't been great. I wonder McCollough or Wallace steps in his place if he can't go.
We will rally around Dolac and play good football! He might be an improvement on Omar anyway. The safety situation is troubling though. Seems like Kitchens is going to be out. Curl potentially as well.
Maybe not anyone here, but good Lord…the talking heads are now either saying we’re already missing the playoffs or if we lose, we’re absolutely cooked for the season, plus our window is gone, our cap is screwed and just fir good measure, locusts are gonna eat all our crops…
Not a hint of blue text in sight, either…
My point was it was an overreaction if people are doom and gloom about the start and think the season is possibly over already. You can have a conversation sure but if you think the season is already a wash after one game then ok.
