I actually wouldn't mind us switching to Wolford until we get our oline back. Our future is not worth this crappy season.

He's not ruled out of Sunday's game though, at least not at the moment right?
He wasn't ruled out of practicing today from what I heard.

McVay said he isnt sure that Stafford actually had/has a concussion - just that he is being monitored.

"We will rally around John Wolford and we will play boring, unproductive football."

If JW plays the real question to me is....how long before he is injured?
When he does see the field he almost always get injured from what we have seen.
If he starts I would like to see a package with Perkins to take advantage of his mobility......but, seeing how the Rams O has had issue executing standard game plans, adding in extra packages for a back up QB seems unlikely.

"Boring, unproductive football?" that's what we've been playing all year. It's gotta be baked into the game plan 'cuz we ain't trying to do anything else.

We just need a win this weekend. I don't care who plays as long as we win. Fine with Wolf because he is mobile, but if they are going with him they need to ensure Perkins is prepped as well because Wolf getting hurt is only a matter of time.

What a mess though. Not having an OL is the worst. :injury:

he did not practice today - but if he has any chance of playing or not I didnt expect him to practice one day later after they said he was in protocol.

Why not try Evans at QB.
I would love to see Mr. Evans at QB just do I can witness JJ Watt slam his worthless rear end on the turf any number of times.
And everytime he does it have him say, "That's for Matt."

Put Stafford at RG and let him have his DTs tackle Evans and say after the sack - that's how it feels like when you OLE the block

NOW DO BETTER

Unfortunately I almost predicted this after the first or second week.

I'm pretty sure this has already been mentioned by my Rams Bros, but this also might be a way to preserve him for a potential playoff run.

Or even next year when we might have an offensive line.
I suggested we start a mobile qb and save Stafford as well. He's an old man in football years. At least until the oline was sorted. I expected coach to come up with a creative solution to their issues....... lol. Wish in one hand..... s*^t in the other. Sheesh.

He did practice today in a limited role - he can still get a full workload in before the game via the rules.

He is listed as questionable and if he can play or not can be decided up to 90 minutes before the game.

Also Kyler Murray is a game time decision with a hamstring.

Probably the best thing to do to protect Stafford. I wouldn't be surprised if this was the teams way of doing just that without coming out and saying "the o-line is so bad that I need to set my qb1."

I'm thinking it'll be Wolf. Makes zero sense to play Stafford if there is any question re: his health. If the OL was good that would be a different sentiment but seeing how things are the smart call is use your depth.

Its hard to tell... McVay in his opening comments said he was "progressing well"

but i think it really will be a game day decision.
