IMO both rookies are rushing too out of control, they're not used to NFL mobile QBs.
Therefore they get lots of "pressures" as they get there fast, but no sacks cause they get there TOO fast.
They'll learn, they''ve been well taught in the last 2 weeks.

We have 2 nd worst D. I'm ready to throw the towel in on 24. Sad.

I'm not - I am just waiting until McVay realizes that Reeder and Rozeboom are not the answer.

I would like to see what Speights and Hummel can do.

Yes, three weeks is enough time to determine the success or lack thereof, by our new DC.

19 PPG from our offense isn't going to win many games, no matter how good the D plays.

Agree. But I don't want to see only 3 people rushing the passer any more. Purdy had all day (literally) to find receivers when Shula made those calls. The secondary needs a pass rush to hurry the QB.

I didn't like it either. Purdy had 10 seconds on one play and even Sanchez mentioned it. But I'm guessing we were in dime on that play due to Purdy beating us over the top several times earlier. That said I believe in him and have a feeling we will all be happy with Shula by seasons end.

Cool story bro. You gave a rookie DC with rookie and 2nd year players all over the line, 3 weeks to produce a top 15 defense. Totally reasonable. Totally.

See you next season.

Staley's #1 ranked Rams defense took about 4 games to really gel and during that time OND wanted him fired repeatedly. Don't be an OND.

Your very first post stated that you were a ‘lifelong fan’ and you were ‘looking forward to a great season’.

That was four weeks ago.

Now, THAT is ‘Sad’.

Do we have a good defense? No we don't. It is among the worst. But who expected this to be a finished product 3 games in? We're gonna have to be patient. Wait and see how it unfolds. The talent is there. Its just raw right now. This could be a solid defense over the next few years. They have 14 games to improve this year. Let them.

Not to mention, being ready to throw in the towel AFTER beating the 49ers?? Wow, just bizarre....

The poster’s bio says he is from the City of Angels.

This is one reason why Niners’ fans (and a few other teams) have a dominant presence at SoFi. There are some great Rams’ fans in Los Angeles. Just not enough.

Man. We don't win that game without Reeder. He made a MASSIVE stop that ended the 49er drive that resulted in a FG. Without that stop, they likely score a TD and the game is over. Reeder has been serviceable and would love to see him paired with Spheights. 56 on the other hand, is less than a JAG.

Rosenboom hasn’t stepped up much.It’s tough to watch sometimes.Those are 2 SHULA Guys though uto enjoy there effort if not for anything else.

It will be interesting to see what The Rams defense looks like at the end of the season?

I’m not holding my breath for The Rams to get over .500 Then again the schedule has them going 7-6
If Lucky the rest of the season?

I was sharpening the pitchfork when it was 21-7 and Purdy was 15/20 with 3 TDs. Defense did stiffen in the second half and play solid. Still little pressure and the secondary is rough!
Also blew a gasket when I saw Hoecht drop in coverage. Same ish, different year. Banking on the young D line coming together and making it a top 20ish D overall. Feels like there are going to be a lot of ups and downs on D this year. Need to emphasize turnovers. That can cover up some of the deficiencies.

We're not going to last 17 hours no less 17 games.

Exactly.
Even our vicious D under Greg Williams took over 10 games before they started coming alive.

Patience.

Just a thought, but could we edit the thread title? Seems like this thread is turning in to a similar one like the "Raheem Morris Discussion" thread
