New Defense - Ongoing season discussion

[Kupped]

I thought it was because Morris had left and you didn't have to defend him every second post?

.

Well.. when people are wrong, SOMEONE has to tell them...

Mcvay said he sprained his ankle play 1. That just about says it all.He is injury prone & it continues to get frustrating.

Ah yes the "injury" that only affected his pass pro snaps. Right.

Just a guess, but wouldn't the different footwork for pass & run blocking possibly account for that ?

I wouldn't blink if Joe was cut loose today, cap be damned, but..... whew....you guys are hard on the Boomer.... lol...

True. But some coaches have a healthy respect for physicality. Others do not. You could take Ratboy and put him on another team and within a year or two they would be a strong run team. And they would stop the run. It is in the end about identity and to what extent you will go to ensure you have that identity.

McVay puts kid gloves on in camp. They get some physicality work of course. But his teams have an identity of slow out the gate, midseason swoon then toughness embraced make their run. And this translates into he will never start fast and put up a high win season where he has the first seed until that changes.

To be fair, McVay has had some 13-3 and 12-5 in the past.

I’ve been the poster boy for being tough on Joe. It’s all been warranted. Ditto with Brian Allen.

You can’t stop everyone. The Rams, for the most part took Amon Ra and Laporta out of the Lions offense. The preseason talk of the Rams lacking the size to stop the run seemed to come to fruition late in the game. However, it’s not like they lost a 350 lb run stuffer when AD retired or Jonah Williams left. They stopped the run last year with similar size. It was fatigue that got them.

They did what the Browns did to the Niners last year and clogged up the middle of the field, which is Goff’s and St. Brown’s bread and butter.

I kept wondering if Ernest Jones would have made a difference, but missing most of camp, it’s not so likely.

If Durant holds onto that int the Rams win despite all of the injuries.

I only saw a couple plays in the Tennessee game but Jones looked good on those few plays.

"Hot knife through butter"............Bobby Brown in 4th qtr and overtime. Guy has no stamina. Can't play 4 qtrs.

You're trying to use logic? We don't do that round these parts.

It's all good. Nothing logical about being a fan. But I do find drilling down on the "why", aka "excuses", apparently, helps alleviate the homicidal urges....

Well I guess I got put in place.Really thought he had a chance to earn The LT spot.Obviously weather right or wrong he still has to stay on the field.

 

[So Ram]

Sort of funny how this thread went the direction it did.

Shula & his defense really played well.I thought there were a few big plays that can’t happen to WIN if the offense isn’t providing enough points.

There's no right or wrong, only shades of grey.

DON’T YOU MEAN BONE?!?!???!?

I am simply fed up with the fucking excuses.

And the few posters on here that think their opinion is gospel and think if they post enough they can wear you down and get you to change your mind and agree with them.
Ain't happening.

Guy can't stay on the field.
The End
