And now Elon Musk has made it into a meme that I’ve seen several versions of today. Great.

He missed a lot of tackles but perhaps silver lining is that he is in position to make the plays. Just gotta make them next time with improved tackling.Kaiser wasn't very good at all. Yes it was his first game in over a year, but he has to be better. Credited with 7 missed tackles in his first game. ILB was the 2nd biggest question mark in the off-season behind the OL, and didnt show well in game 1.

Rams film room: How concerning are Micah Kiser's 7 missed tackles in Week 1?
Micah Kiser missed seven tackles on Sunday night against the Cowboys, but not all of them were completely his fault.theramswire.usatoday.com
Kiser was fine, in my opinion. He penetrated the Cowboys O-line several times, made some tackles, and hit a lot of people. It was his very first NFL game basically! Let's give the guy a chance.. I see a lot of potential there, and the Rams could use a thumper at middle linebacker.
He seemed to be reading/reacting to some things slowly.Kiser was credited with seven missed tackles.
Settle down, now.
Kiser’s first regular season defensive snaps came Sunday night. Nobody is calling him “top tier” or a HOFer. All anyone is saying is give the guy a chance before throwing him on the scrap heap.
And it’s carnivorous HOGS, not DOGS. Death by hogs is far more gruesome and, for bacon eaters, ironic.
You were on ClanRam? I don’t remember you. Guess you didn’t make much of an impression. Maybe you should consider getting over your apparent obsession with me. After all, I haven’t been on that site for years.Ummm how about noooo.
This isn't Clanram were you tell people what to do...
Why don't you go back there with those 7 missed tackles to your active forum and be 'King of Dogs' or Hogs or whatever you fancy.
He may prove to be little more than a placeholder this year. I think he is smart and has good instincts. He’s not very fast, though, and will likely be spelled (maybe in favor of Justin Hollins, who ran a 4.50 forty at his Combine, or a safety such as Rapp) quite a bit against guys like Wilson.Jury still out on Kiser for me. I'm willing to give him a few games to get acclimated but he looks too slow to compete at the NFL level to me. I don't see any way he helps against Russell Wilson 2x a year either.

I liked what Kiser brought to the table. He's the banger we've wanted.
He was injured all last season - didn't play a game. The year before he was active every game, but just as a quality special teamer - got literally zero snaps on defense, even though the Rams did have a need for quality backups at ILB. So I wouldn't say there is zero chance of him being a quality starter this season, but I hope they have a real plan B at the very least, not sign a career ST like Hager to be his competition.

I too, though, am more than willing to give him a few games - particularly if we keep holding opponents to under 20 points and winning games!
