[Classic Rams]

Looks like we’re playing the Zebras this week!

Hope this doesn’t give them an in with the other
ones on the field.

Actually the refs go to these colors when the Bengals wear the zebras.

Burrow didn’t practice yesterday. Today is probably the tell tale sign on where he is. If he doesn’t go today, it’s probably gonna be Jake Browning

Burrow is going to play, he's got to give it a go. 0-3 and their season is over

So right now the Rams Oline is middle of the pack. Hopefully they keep improving and get up to that top right corner.

I wonder why he factors in first read throws. That is not the Offensive lines problem. I’d think he’d display third read throws to show an Olines dominance.

Cincinnati's run defense seems a little suspect starting out this year, hopefully that bodes well for us.
Cleveland's RB's (With Chubb but still) ran for 142 yards on 33 carries, WR Elijah Moore picked up another 19 yards on 2 carries, so in total they gave up 161 yd on 35 carries 4.6 yds per carry
Baltimore's RBs (Without Dobbins) ran for 103 yards on 21 carries, 4.9 YPC, WR's 4 for an additional 21, so in total 124 on 25 carries for just about 5 ypc
Have to figure Cincy is going to be looking to shut down the Puka show, so we might be able to put together a solid run attack for a change

Then it’s all aboard the Tutu Train.

Hope McVay can get the TE's involved more in this game.

The Patriots signed Will Grier off the Bengals’ PS, leaving them w/out a QB behind Browning.

They just signed Reid Stinnett to fill that spot. I’d say that suggests they are at least uncertain as to Burrow’s availability.

I do like that 20 teams are throwing to first read more often than the Rams. Particularly given the common assumption that Stafford throws to one target.

IMO it would be a terrible move for Cincy to play Burrow. The calf muscle is directly connected to the achillies. Winning a week 3 game isn't worth having to shelf your top 5 QB for the season. I think Chase had it right when he suggested Burrow should have sat until week 4 to be sure his calf was 100%. Not sure how the staff can send him out there just a week out from restraining it. Hoping Puka is going to suit up, he's been on injury list all week.

I hope they play Burrow, I don't want to hear excuses from Bengal fans.

It’ll be “But Joe wasn’t 100%”.

Like McVay said, you practice expecting Burrow to play! The big deal is the Ram D'. They have to tackle well...don't hit guys high expecting them to go down...WRAP UP on the waist and below and help comes.

I know the secondary is young but they have to be challenged to play "man to man" also. Veteran QBs know how to beat zone!

I like the Rams to win like 23-16.

I honestly think he is going to be out for more than just our game... this was an injury that kept him out 4 weeks and in 2 games he already injured it again.

They are not going to fuck with their future that much.

We will find out soon.

All of our receivers are prepared to face mask all corners.

Day'um. !!!!!

 

[RamWoodie]

The Rams should take this game. What I'm wanting to see is McVay getting the TEs more involved. At this point he's just not using Higbeast in the passing game enough for me.
