Question for Ram fans

[Mojo Ram]

I think a better question is... what's wrong in this picture?

Ahhhhh yes, roller girl

I have been giving Rob Quinn pure hell since wk #1 in that order too. RQ has been under performing as starter. IMO nothing but pure weak link in this defense. Quinn has a of massive Ram fan base. Mo is now departed & RQ remains...Mo was being paid in peanuts shells & Quinn paid in a truck load of pure Gold bars.

Conner Barwin has his worse days work of this young season last Sunday, no evidence in any stats he was even there. Same can be said about his reserve Samson Ebukam who also has no evidence at this point he was ever on the field too. For a Wade "D" That's not good for either Barwin or Ebukam. This "D: will not be effective with performances like that. Sure not what Wade needs from these two starting Edge Rushers if we want to remain somewhat competitive in the NFC West.

However strange as it may seem Quinn had his best game of the season at least on evidence in stats that are visual now to be reviewed. Quinn greatly benefited going one up against one of the weakest starting LT's in the NFL. If that was not helpful enough this Seahawks LT spent 2 days in the hospital earlier in the week with a chest injury. As one would expected Rob Quinn has his best game of the season.

Quinn has six tackles,4 assists & 2.5 sacks for the season. Barwin has 12 tackles, 3 assists & 2 sacks thus far. Quinn is on target to end the season with approx 18 tackles, 12 assists & 8 sacks. Barwin on target to have 36 tackles 9 assists & 6 sacks.

Matt Longacre who has never been a starter since he he entered the NFL back in 2015 & is Quinn's back up has 8 tackles, 3 assists & 3 sacks & on target for approx. 24 tackles, 9 assists & 9 sacks. IMO Quinn reserve Longacre is the much better overall performing Wade weak outside Edge rusher. I say this if you center in on Quinn & watch closely you will see a player who has been unable to make a difference in this defense.

I read most all posts authored in this forum but I am in Fail Mode in being able to understand the unbroken & indestructible positive hope from Ram fans that believe Quinn will return perform the way he did in 2013 & 2014 seasons.

I'll be honest Quinn, Long and Laurinitis were my favourite Rams for a very long time - I'll hold up my had and say that I am blinkered when it comes to Quinn and I WANT him to succeed - I also think he has a lot left in the tank.

BUT, In saying that I also love Longacre, he seems to be more impactful when he's on the field, I wouldn't be sad to see him receive more starting reps. I'm also with @DaveFan'51 - this is a marathon the better rotation we have the better it will be for the Rams as a whole.

Good Morning my good Ram fans bud's...Ref your & @DaveFan'51 using the word marathon.....After this game with the Jags 1/3 of the marathon season will have already passed. Wade has a good amount of ER's to run this season with Barwin, Quinn, Ebukam, Littleton, Price & Thompson.

If I am paying aLB'er edge rusher Rob Quinn a near 11 million this season, I am going to use him as much as I can to get my $$$ worth out of him. One thing is clear we sure did not get much out of his 17 million cost in 2015 or his over 11 million out of him in 2016.The contract on RQ has been a non producer for this Ram team the last 2 seasons. This season at least we get to use him on the field some.

Your main ER ....Rob Quinn is exclusively on the right side. One of two very important posts in this Wade "D". Quinn appears to be fully healthy even though we hear that his back is causing him a great amount of pain from unknown alleged close sources. I suspect the later is very true. Another fact here after 5 games is Matt Longacre Quinn have been rotating out on a regular basis. In addition we have seen Samson Ebukam even joining RQ/ML to work on that right edge rushing post. So a ever so slight change is in effect here.

I would think that RQ is trending towards a pass rush specialist & a decrease in overall playtime on run downs. RQ is always used in the Wade 4 DL rush line. ML is trending to be the main ER to be utilized more of tern as this season runs on. Rookie Samson Ebukam will trend to see more action in this ER post but play back from the LOS more often. This is what I see. Let me know later when you see it too or don't see.

When ER rookie Samson Ebukam relieves RQ or ML Samson will most likely perform a non rush duty on the outer right side of the back seven "D". Mark Barron usually will step up & blitz. ML is much better on containment than SE or RQ. ML does not have the speed of SE or RQ but he has the moves & the smarts to be effective most of the time. RQ still has the ppeed & still blazes by the outside left shoulder of the LT & will use a standard right swing twist move to get close back inside to the QB that's about it. Most LT's just press him out & around leaving the QB a sizable amount of room on that left side to throw or in Wilson case run through with no Quinn in sight. If that whats left in his tank it might as well remain there.RQ twists & stunts are even more pathetic where a interior OL'er can land one good thrust to the chest of RQ & stops him completely. RQ never raises two arms but he will get one arm up there from time to time. But that's a rarity too because RQ is usually behind the QB when he throw's the ball.

I'd have to go with curtains matchin the drapes.

I'm not an interior decorator, and I did not stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night, but aren't curtains and drapes essentially the same thing? Did you mean curtains/drapes matching the carpet/rug? Although that might be moot. Bare/hard surface flooring seems to be the preferred style these days. Probably because they're easier to keep clean. Spills wipe right up!!
