McVay and Snead discussed that

There is much we do know. A GM and Coach rarely if ever make a move that they know will make the team worse....we'll never know the inside story....

Watching Byron Young and Verse grow together is going to be FUN. Those two are absolute dogs... Verse has got to work on the missed tackles.. I hope that's something he can improve on with better angles.. etc. But.. damn.. those two are strong and fast and determined!!

Young had an EXCELLENT day.

Hoecht was good too!

They still have some growing to do, but when Baldy says this, I take notice.

 

[Psycho_X]

Too used to that college game speed still so taking angles that would work there, he'll fix that and start leading dudes a little more lol.

Some stats on D: Rams rank 32 in yards allowed; 31 in points allowed; 31 in pass yards allowed; 30 in rush yards allowed; 32 in net yards per pass attempt allowed; 29 in yards per carry allowed; 31 in 3rd down defense.

It is worse than bad , it is atrocious. The good news is that , since we rank last in everything , it can only get better.

When Verse figures out how to finish this pass rush will be amazing.

 

[Merlin]

And the scary thought is that Young was our best defender out there in that game. He balled his ass off in the rush. Nothing but good things ahead for those two as a pairing.

Ya Young with the FF, and I saw a nice TFL on one highlight showing the 9ers ineptitude.
Fiske with a sack & FR.
But, man, V8 left a LOT of meat on the bone this game. Kid is so raw, but let the game slow down for him a little bit... and it's lights out.

 

[Merlin]

Pretty sure Young had a lot of rushes vs the shitters LT. Who is one of the best around. For him to play like that vs our biggest rival, in a game we had to have... Let's just say I am a big Young fan right now.

Did Trent Williams play yesterday?
I didn't see the game is why I'm asking....

what if he doesn't ?

Yes. He went out in the first half for an injury. Turned out to be a cramp and he came back, the bastid.

 

[Merlin]

It is unlikely that Verse won't be at least a good starter, given how potent his rush has been as a rookie so far. I'd say he'll almost surely end up falling somewhere between very good to elite. Assuming health, as always.

Menstrual, right?

He’ll get home. Two very elusive QBs..

Murray is for sure . But Brock not that much . Most QBs nowadays can scramble . There are very few " statue qbs " in the NFL today. Another elusive qb coming next week. Caleb hasn't played well but he can evade sacks . We are playing the eagles , bills , cardinals again , etc . He needs to improve , he is strong and he can win his one-on-one but Qbs are making him look really bad with all the whiffs.

Brock not so much?

Um.. it’s one of his greatest assets.

If my memory isn't selective, purdy has always had a knack for avoiding sacks. His offensive line has been bad since his first start.

 

[Jacobarch]

I usually agree with Brian, but it's a hard no that the rams are the best young dline in football. Not even close.
