Didn't get to watch the game. I did however get updates and the second half updates were greatly appreciated.

I think they're average. With 32 teams it feels they may be exactly in the middle.
I don't think I agree. However, I hope a lot of the young players turn-out to be quality players.

There was a point in the second quarter when the Rams' defense went out to start a possession.
All three of the Defensive Linemen were undrafted free agents (Williams. Copeland and Durden).
Two of the Linebackers (Rozeboom and Edge Hoecht) were also undrafted free agents.
Five of the top-six DBs were late round picks (Durant a 4th, with Yeast, Kendrick, Fuller and Lake all 6th or 7th).

Yeah I suppose we'll see how it plays out. The NFC is wide open this year tho. Idk who the teams are that are undoubtedly better. Philly, San Francisco, and then it's anybody's game.

The second half with the ball control centered around the run game and the stout defensive play is how you win championships. Give McVay credit for being able to make the adjustments at half time. I would be remiss if I failed to mention the job the Oline did, simply outstanding. Oh, last but not least what a job by coach Morris and this Rams defense.

I hate saying this but the Rams looked like they adopted the Whiners run game today with all of those pitch sweeps.

Ernest Jones and Kevin Dotson did not finish the game.
I thought I saw Hoecht holding his elbow on that Byron Young strip sack.

Feels goddamn good to go to 3-3 with a win over a division rival. Huge result for this young team.

We are 2-1 in the division and played the shitters to the final drive. This roster doesn't have much room for error but they are tough, they play for each other, and this staff is doing a great job of keeping them focused in on improvement.

This is a fun team to root for.

Great 2nd half adjustment from McVay.
That was encouraging.
Good things happen when we remember to run the damn ball.... Pretty much what we have all been screaming here for the past few weeks.
