Rapp out per NBC

[Mojo Ram]

We are fkd. No Fuller. No Rapp. Williams shoulder. No Jones. Our D will give up 35 points or more. Our O needs to score 40 to win IMO

 

[Mojo Ram]

Honest question.. is Moore a deep threat? I thought he was a short-area pass receiver who could break long ones with his speed and elusiveness?

Not really. I mean, he may be capable but not within the framework of their offense.
Green is their #1 deep guy in terms of the numbers but i feel like they like to target Kirk deep quite a bit.

Idk what's so funny about my first post?

Guess since I'm not all "woe is me"?

Kirk, for sure. Got the Rams deep last time.

Probably just the fact that you expect our secondary to be better in this game with 3 completely new starting safeties being thrust into the lineup. Yes Jalen is playing, but come on man. Look at every single other part of our secondary. CB and S. We will give up a lot of big plays and have some more coverage busts.

But if the offense comes to play and is playing at their highest level then we can compete with anyone, regardless of what the defense does. So thats what we need to hope for to have a shot to win this game. If we dont turn the ball over and run/pass well we should get the job done.

If the Rams front 7 exert tremendous pressure on Murray (must keep Murray in the pocket)-- and clog the passing lanes-- We can win this

 

[RamDino]

Sony, Sony, Sony. Run the ball, mix in some short passes, eat up the clock, and keep the Cardinals O on the sidelines. Our secondary is way too beat up to allow Murray to throw dimes all day. Hope our D-line comes to play. They have had pretty good success against Murray. And please don't give Akers too many carries. I am worried that he is not in "football shape" and may fumble or get hurt.

Ok. Few things.

Don't put words in my mouth. I didn't flat out say they'll be better. I said they played well without Jalen in the last game, which is why I'm not worried. I'm not the woe is me attitude on this topic.

The sarcastic hahas to my posts lately are no longer annoying. They are fuckin insulting. If anyone wants to quote me, please do so. I realize its a small thing, but its going on for a while, and it adds up whenever I log in here, see a notification, and its something laughing at my opinion. I'm sick of it, and my tone of response will be reflective.

Seems like you already have this proclamation on D, though. O is gonna O, that has nothing to do with this topic. Maybe the Rams' coaches should be called up and let them know "hey, Kyler Murray is going to have a career day. Don't bother to play D. It's hopeless just pass on every down on O to run up the score" I guarantee they'll "haha" at that.

We will need to score 35 to win this game. Sure hope the offense comes to play. The major concern critics of our team building strategy have expressed is our lack of depth. We will see how well Burgess, Scott, and Weddle (God help us) can play.

One thing not being mentioned enough is how often we are in 3 safety sub packages. Its over 50%. Our nickel sub package is sort of our base. So Weddle will likely be playing over 50% of snaps, after less than a week of practice and being out of football for 3 years. Lmfao jesus christ.

I'm thinking Weddle covers the calls when they pull Reeder off. So one of the two is on the field at all times.

It's good to have someone who can call the checks.. and communicate well back there.. but you really think they'd have Weddle call the actual defense rather than Ramsey?

 

[FaulkSF]

I hope he gets healthy. Does anyone realize how unstoppable we could be if Morris just lined him up close to the line of scrimmage to take away the short and intermediate looks away?

When employed right, he excels.

Doesn't he do that a bunch now?

And, everyone in the NFL just about is running 2 high safeties on many downs.. would you rather see Scott out there on those or Rapp?

Or do you want to make Fuller a single-high safety? Because I like him, but he's not Earl Thomas and doesn't have the range to do that.

I don't think you can *only* have Rapp play close to the line of scrimmage.

No he doesn't drop down from double safety look often enough. Rapp is great in small spaces, big spaces not so much. It would also limit teams' abilities to stretch our defense horizontally where Reeder struggled against SF.

Okay.

I feel like he's been doing that more with him... but you're basically playing him like an LB in that situation. Are you doing that in 3 safety looks? Or are you rotating to single high on those? I think on first down that's not too big an issue against teams that are more run dependent.. but if it's a team with a good TE? They'll just light him up, no?

I don't know.. his coverage limitations seem to be a bigger problem all the time. Maybe I'm imagining things.

Well THERE'S a take.

 

[RamFan503]

Relax and enjoy the ride!

That's probably the best advice I've seen in months. Seriously it is.

 

[SteezyEndo]

I am pretty confident we will play well or even better. Weddle adds knowledge, and experience. He will get that backfield clicking.

Yes. And I suspect that spat in fact between Rapp and Ramsey shows he's not going to take guidance from just anyone. So if he needs to be aligned right or having someone checking him it has to be someone he trusts. Good chance that's a factor here.
