Fuck!! Love the way Gaines has been playing. Time for him and A'Shawn to step up. Bobby Brown likely will start seeing snaps too.

Damn.

We've been EXTREMELY FORTUNATE with the dirty "i" word over the McVay era. Losing players like SJD is just a part of football... and we have guys who can and will step up... but... in order to accomplish the goals this team has, we need to keep our streak of good health alive.

Bobby Brown is out this week against Tennessee. Would have been a good test.
Jonah Williams has been the guy next in line as well as Hoecht .
Jonah Williams was released a few days ago.

Picked-up by Minnesota but then waived after failing a physical.

When the Rams drafted Bobby Brown they sent a clear message that SJD will be gone next year. Gaines has outplayed SJD on fewer reps last year and again this year. SJD makes too many tackles on the wrong side of the LOS. SJD's best contribution will be a possible comp pick. I'm sure Staley will grab him, if not the Chargers, some team will.

Three teams tried to grab Jonah Williams but he has a hernia which affected his play and led to his being released. I'm sure teams will be equally interested in SJD. Regardless I think the Rams will be fine with Gaines and Brown as I think Robinson will also be released.

This injury sucks; SJD is an amazing run defender. Nothing against Gaines or BB3, but SJD is just amazing at run defense.

Since surgery is required on SJD, should we assume a short term IR designation coming ?

SJD has been a stud, not a nothing loss he has become a top run defender.

From what I gathered from the press conference , a best case
outlook we are looking at 3 to 4 weeks to a possibility of it being season ending.
Anybody got some education on the injury itself and recovery?

McVay added that until they see the damage in the surgery , It's a pretty wide guess.

So a Ram is injured and your response is to trash him and repeat your tired ass bad takes. Way to be fucking asshole

Huge loss.

Having said that, I am cautiously optimistic that the Rams will not see too much drop-off in play between Gaines and Robinson as the next men up. I am also curious to see what the rookie Brown has.

Even if Gaines and Robinson are able to adequately replace SJD, however, the Rams are still taking a big hit in the trenches with this injury. You need depth in the trenches - and lots of it - to win late in the season and deep into the playoffs. Hopefully, SJD can return by the playoffs. Or at least by the later rounds, if the Rams make it that far.

I do wonder if the Rams had a feeling this is where SJD was heading and if that factored into the decision to bolster the defence by adding Von Miller.

This has been OldNotDead's opinion since the off-season. He's stated it many times.

Very few ROD posters have been in agreement.

By-the-Way, OldNotDead also thinks poorly of Rob Havenstein; and, again, very few agree.

In all fairness I do believe this is a fair assessment that Gaines has outplayed SJD. That being posted better to have both then just Gaines, IMHO.
