Rams at Washington

[NoCoNite]

This is going to be a frustrating second half with Alex Smith getting 4-5 yards a play.

 

[“Turbo set!”]

Man, do you guys remember when we had a kicker we could trust with a 48 yard FG?

Out of his range.

How bad was the Sloman mixed XP? Not that it matters. He needs to make just about all of them to stick with the Rams.

 

[fearsomefour]

What is going on with Reeder? Is he playing poorly?

He is playing ok.
He is a back up player playing like a back up player.
Which is to say playing like Young and most of the LBs.
He is just the favorite whipping boy on the board at the moment.
He’s made a couple of nice plays and tackles, one to prevent a first down.
But, he has also been weak in coverage, where we all know he struggles.
But, when he drops deep in coverage, like 12 yards deep in zone coverage and a RB catches a check down 8 yards in front of him he is the worst LB in the history of football.
Whipping boy at the moment.

Uh Oh... Goff haters warming up

They’re warm

I was wondering where Gerald has been this year. If they run more plays for him like that he's gonna have a nice season.

Same thing was said about Higbee till this year..Sometimes it's all about opportunities...

 

[Mojo Ram]

I'm almost glad I cant see the game, dont know if I could stomach the next half of "Alex Smith is the bravest man in the history of the World" stuff...

Yeah dude i called this early in the thread and here it is.

The feel good story of the week coming at the expense of the Rams D.
Smith is/was a good QB. I wanted to face Haskins, Allen and Smith in that order.

I'm not insensitive to this stuff and i wish A.Smith well and hope he resurrects his career, but i hope he gets beat the fuck up today if it means a Rams win.

 

[fearsomefour]

He got fooled. Fuller dropped underneath unexpectedly. Reynolds was open. It happens.

Yeah.
I didn’t see Reynolds on that play.

 

[fearsomefour]

Reeder is too slow to cover anybody. So Washington is taking advantage of him whenever he's in coverage.

They run zone with him in there a fair bit, but, his problem is change of direction as well.....same as Young and Kiser....so RBs have a decent time side stepping him or cutting back.
Seems to be a think with the Ram LBs.

 

[Mojo Ram]

The brain facts Goff has sometimes is mind boggling.

Looked like a wet ball throw to me. Still, an untimely pick when WASH was feeling shiny & happy with momentum. Cost us 3 points.

Rams need to take the crossers away in the second half. Do that and Smith will have a very uncomfortable return.

He should double down on his hero status and play with a medical mask on under his face mask.

Yep. He's getting beat like a drum in space and laterally out there.

 

[theduke]

Nice play by Ramsey. Letting the QB know that bullshit (him acting like a RB) isn't gonna go unpunished is more important than the penalty.

Yup, Kyle Allen likely paid for that with his next contract. He’ll be a backup instead of getting a chance to be the starter.

Might have cost us 10 points tbh. But shit happens. TD drive in our first possession in the second half should make amends.

If we allow them to match up Gibson on Reeder the whole game, they will climb right back in a hurry. Staley has to change that up.

 

[fearsomefour]

Yep. He's getting beat like a drum in space and laterally out there.

All of the Ram LBs tens to get beat laterally and cuts backs kill them.
Wouldn’t mind seeing more of the three S look to replace Reeder on some of those.

 

[theduke]

So, the Rams ended Alex Smith's career with the 49ers and helped launch the Kaep era.
Are the Rams now going to launch the Alex Smith comeback?
Hope not . . . .

It doesn’t really matter. Washington isn’t gonna do anything.

 

[theduke]

Haskins is sitting at home.

Really?

 

[Mojo Ram]

Rams need to make this feel good story a short story in the 2nd half.

 

[Memento]

Please, for the love of fate, let Micah Kiser come back next game. Or start Rozeboom/Bituli/Moncrief over Reeder. Or, hell, let's put Rapp in a Barron-like role.
