Myles Garrett

[HitStick]

Did you just call the 9ers greatest o line of the generation? Wtf? .....it was also a master class of how to run a stupid ass gameplan by McVay and his coaching staff. Game plan to make em dink and dunk has ALWAYS gone wrong in stopping the 9ers whenever McVay has run it. Its even worse when you consider no preseason play by the starters so you'd think you'd apply more pressure via pressure man coverage or blitzing to get them off the field so they aren't gassed. Instead they got gassed and then got further embarrassed. Hopefully McVay learns from it and hopefully Garrett's knee is ok. I don't think anyone is suggesting Garrett have surgery (if that's who you were referring too, I'm not sure there) but to rest that knee so it doesn't become a season long issue.

O-Lineman…thought that was pretty obvious…

The last thing I am worried about right now is Myles Garrett.

Dude was DPOY last year and players deal with injuries all season. If the knee was an issue there would be no trade. Things like that are no secret.

The 49’ers out game planned us with short passes, which is disappointing because we knew this was coming. We spoke about it for weeks on ROD.

They allowed no time for sacks/pressure. They schemed perfectly and we didn’t anticipate it (shocking) or adjust for it (bizarre).

I feel like the game was another example of McVay not giving the beginning of the season a lot of priority again more than injuries.

He just doesn’t seem to care much about what happens in September. They use it like preseason used to be to knock off the rust and get the squads gelling.

 

[Ram Ts]

He looked content to just go wide. Maybe he was trying to avoid traffic inside? I saw pundits saying they expected him to line up inside at times to disrupt the quick passing game. They didn't try that. Why? Did he not want to?

It’s gotta be the injury. Hopefully a minor thing that will get resolved With a few more days rest. If lingering or worse - yikes.

O-Lineman…thought that was pretty obvious…

Apparently not, I was like fuck that's some high praise for their whole line, how dare you .....ok now that I understand what you meant it makes more sense. Only one more reason why sometimes acronyms suck hahaha

I dunno, that shell shocked look on his face when it began to unravel tells a different story.

 

[AZRams]

I see the ball coming out before any human can get to purdy.

Result of soft zone.

Man up WRs so the damn QB has to hold the ball.

Not rocket science, accept in lala land.

No need to hide McDuffie and Watson behind that bullshit scheme like you did with Kendrick and crew. Come on, did they not watch any tape of either in KC?!

WTF Shula...

 

[Steve808]

...like, the Seahawks?
During the draft, a side-to-sideline LB was what I wanted, about a much as any other position. Because we are so soft in the middle it's not funny. It's thee recipie for beating the Rams and it looks like we haven't learned this or addressed it.

We had that in Ernest Jones but we traded him away and now he's on the shit hawks of all teams.

 

[CoachAllred]

Its complete incompetence to not know what the injury is and what the health plan is for it. He was completely ineffective last night. I'd rather see Wesley Bailey out there then a broken down Garrett that we just paid DEARLY for....

Not all players are completely honest with the trainers or Dr.'s.
Myles under a lot of pressure with all the media hype. A lot of weight to carry
even for him.
I could see him having a little hesitation if it was worse than he let on.

The Rams have one of the top sports medicine guys in the business in Reggie Scott and every player I have
heard speak (especially players coming in from other teams) on Reggie talks like he "The Best in the Biz"
There is No incompetence .

Now that Myles has let the cat out of the bag, by going public.
I have absolutely no doubt that he will be Priority one, If they do not know exactly
what's causing the pain.

The only problem I have is that Myles said that he was playing and focusing more on not
hurting himself worse than focusing on what the 49er's were doing.
Had McVay or Shula known, Myles wouldn't have even dressed out, much less start.

Even worse - Not a good thing to say , Myles may have created some trust issues with
both the locker room and the coaches. This is not Cleveland and that's some Browns
crap to acknowledge.

Just a general thread observation after............ one game !

But how manty games will the knee be an issue?

 

[pvtdragon39]

Agree and agree, but this is the Myles Garrett thread.

You're right and This has to do 1000% with 0 Tackle Myles Garrett. Browns are even making jokes.

 

[RamDino]

From what I remember.... the knee has been an issue all through training camp. Doubt it's just going to go away with rest. He's had plenty of rest.

 

[fanotodd]

Myles Garret to IR after arthroscopic surgery!
WTF? We got burned by Cleveland?

 

[OntarioRam]

In the back of my mind I am wondering, and have been wondering for about a month now, as Garrett continued not even to practice despite having all new schemes to learn and all new teammates to develop chemistry with (!) ... how bad is that knee? Garrett's comments post-game were very discouraging to hear in light of that and only raised my concern level. I know McVay downplayed the severity of the injury throughout training camp. Maybe that was not just coach speak. Perhaps it is a minor ailment. But to be injured before you even start the season is not a good sign. You typically don't get healthier once the real games start and the physical beatings commence. In the back of my mind has always been, and continues to be, this nagging thought, "did we just give up Jared Verse and lots of prime draft capital for damaged goods?". Then you see that week 1 performance. Yikes.

Not panicking yet. But there is some cause for concern, which won't be eliminated for me until I see Garrett playing at a high level.

A banged up knee on a pass rusher is no small issue. Byron Young last year was incredible for the start of the season. He looked way better than Verse for many weeks. After the knee injury he seemed cooked. And Byron himself and/or the Rams staff sure seemed to agree. Because vs. Chicago and Seattle in the playoffs, when you need your studs the most, tight games, crucial downs, etc... his snap % plummeted. I think it was 50% or less vs. the Bears? So they seemed to think more effective options were available off the bench, despite what at the time was middling DE depth. I give BY full credit for playing through. I have no doubt he gave everything he had. But post-injury he looked very ineffective.

BY has been held out of practices too all off-season program and also looked bad. Week 1 and all. Pass rusher health is an issue to watch this year.

Just as I was worried about - we sold the farm for damaged goods ^^^

Season isn't over. Remember when we lost Kupp and Puka at the same time for weeks and carried on? But the coaching staff, management, and doctors have real explaining to do. This wasn't caught in the pre-trade medicals? If it wasn't, you've known about it for months now... why wait until after week 1 to get the surgery? Did the 49ers game aggravate it?

The trade looks bad now, value wise. You don't give up a young stud pass rusher and lots of very high draft picks, for an aging stud pass rusher that is about to entire his final career stretch, and will miss a month or more, with several key matchups in that stretch. Yeah, Garrett is definitely better than Verse. Is the delta between him and Verse worth that much for only a % of the season, missing several big games? Not IMO. We could have kept the picks and used that as ammo at the trade deadline to bolster the roster, pass rusher or otherwise (which is always my preferred approach, you never know where your needs will be in November with how injuries always pop up).

Broncos, Bills, Eagles, NYG (who will be much improved this year) are on deck. This isn't a Sam Darnold situation where your key injury arrives during a cupcake scheduling stretch (as per usual, Seattle getting all the luck). The Rams need to lock in. Because if they don't the season could be over before it started. We need at least 2 of those games to be Ws.

We will see how the team responds. Hopefully, it galvanizes them! It could also make the vibes in the room bad. AD99 came back in large part to play with Garrett. Now that isn't going to happen for X weeks, and even when it does, will Garrett be as effective? Knees on such a big man are no joke. He isn't young anymore, either. Gotta think Donald is wondering a lot of what the fans are (why not get the surgery earlier given it's been known for months his knee was bad etc.).

He may have tweaked it early in camp and they tried to manage it. Now they have decided to just resolve it now. Hopefully just a meniscus trim.

Never should have anointed us as superbowl favorites. It's never been a good look for any rams teams. The judge said to the abused kid to go live with the Rams, because they don't beat anybody. An old but true joke. I want to be surprised by a great team this year. Not feeling it. Go Rams!

Someone getting fired

 

[TheTackle]

The Super Bowl isn’t won in September. Everyone needs to take a deep breath. It’s a deep group and we will play good football. By the time Garrett returns, Aaron Donald will be dominating

 

[Ram_Rally]

Relax everyone. This is still a loaded defense. Even if it isn't the destroyer if worlds that it eoild be with Garrett, the return of Donald with our already deep defensive line and upgraded secondary is more than enough to slow offenses down.
