KW needs to treat this next game like he did the game after his fumbling issues made us all talk about it. He clearly wrapped up the ball with both arms after that game.
I believe it was against the Eagles where he had the issue.
Change the script in this one. No fumbles. Sell out to stop Barkley. The DBs need to play with the fire they showed Monday night. No soft zone converges unless we are up big. Get pressure with 4-5 guys and do not try and arm tackle Hurts. Clean, sound tackles on that guy. Break down if you have too. Do not worry about the big hit. Keep him contained and put the game on his shoulders.
Do that, we will be fine.

Rams have no room for error vs Philly because they are a threat to us in both trenches. One fumble could be the difference. So if they don't protect the ball they will almost certainly go home.

But this doesn't just apply to Williams. It applies to all these guys, including Stafford. I think it is important to be in the plus column in turnovers from here on out.

It wasnt a fumble he was hit and when he hit the ground the ball came out. No fumble
Bruh, it was a fumble, haha. I love KDub btw, and want him extended.... But that would have been ruled a fumble had they reviewed it. Period.

Yeah, 2 fumbles by kw and Staff. Not called helped us tremendously. We deserve breaks as much as the next guy, it was just our turn. Plus the refs tried to f us over anyway.

That wasn't a fumble by Stafford. As inept as the refs were, they got that one right. He shoveled the ball into the general area of Puka. Clear forward pass. As for Kyren, when he did the split, that wasn't a fumble either. I couldn't tell on the one where Puka jumped on the ball.

Yeah, the one where he did the split didn't look like a fumble to me. The other one did when they played it back in slow mo.

I noticed the updated cap numbers on OTC. It shows Williams with a $5M plus cap number for next year. I wonder if that was due to incentives earned? Because Durant, drafted a round earlier, only has a cap number of $3M next year. And $5M is way out of the ordinary for a 5th rd pick on the last yr of his deal.

BTW, the Rams cap space is down to $46M for 43 rostered players, but they can redo Stafford's deal if he intends to keep playing and open up much more cap room. Probably could tweak Kupp's deal as well, among a few others.

No the Stafford play was not a fumble. Some people think it was because he flipped it instead of throwing over the top. It doesn't matter how you throw it as long as its tossed forward. Underhanded is still a pass. Now there could be an argument made for intentional grounding. But I believe the Rams ended up punting on that drive anyway.

Fact: Neither was a fumble. 0 fumbles. Zero fumbles. No fumbles.

Observation: Don’t let the ball come loose…period. We don’t need refs calling a fumble when it wasn’t because the ball came loose which they judged as a fumble.

Note: Viking TE also lost a ball but his knee was correctly ruled down before the ball came loose.
