I wore my Puka Shell necklace during the game yesterday.

I'm really starting to believe that it has magic powers. When we saw him back in the game after halftime, I was running around like an idiot holding onto the damn thing and yelling about that Samoan BADASS.

WOW

I love that most of the rookies seem to just have that infectious energy that makes you want to run through a brick wall. McSnead took Aaron Donald's request to heart about getting players who cared. Love seeing the smiles and energy that Puka, Turner, Young, Avila, etc bring out there at all times.

Hard to believe but if him and Stafford stay healthy rest of the season it should be doable.

GREAT point on the attitude and energy… especially for the top 4 rookies.

I’d add… Dotson & Witherspoon have great energy as well.

We are Yankees fans. Back in the late 90’s my mom watched the WS with me. If they were losing she would go do something else or watch from another room. One time she was on the front porch putting up Halloween decorations, and they made a comeback. She stayed out in the cold with no coat for the rest of the game. :laugh4:

I wonder about why he said this. Did he feel that after the Super Bowl there were some players that seemed to lose their drive to win, or gave up after all of the injuries hit?

Maybe?

Maybe he has experience with younger guys who don’t care?

Maybe it’s just a standard he has?

maybe it's just something that he feels is required from a player. Not so much because players before didn't care. Basically we were going to have a bunch of rookies playing on D and he didn't care about their plan, just make sure you get players that care.

If Puka stays healthy, he’s going to be one of the most popular Rams players ever.
He’s great on social media… sooooo fun and genuine… and kicks ass on the field.

Yep, I think the context of the question he was answering helps to understand what he was meaning. He was being asked if the Rams unloading a bunch of veterans to save cap room bothered him at this point in his career. His answer was no, as long as the young players they bring in care.

Watching him out-run those DB's was like magic.
Reminded me so much of Fitzgerald catching that SB TD pass from Warner & taking it to the house, outrunning the entire Pittsburg D.
This kid.... I knew he was big, knew he had great hands, but FAST TOO???
Him, Kupp, Tutu & now D.Robinson getting into the act... a very nice WR corps out of thin air, way to go Snead.
