and play bump-and-run coverage on receivers.

TBH it was more along the lines of grab and hold coverage, but it got the job done for a little while

I'd feel better if we had Talib back. The KC game is the scariest because of the weapons they have and how bad Peters has been playing. But maybe he'll rise to the occasion against his old team. Our CB's were supposed to be our biggest strength and honestly have been our biggest liability thus far. Excluding NRC who has played pretty well.
 
the packers proved our offense is vulnerable.other teams will take a serious look at what the packerd did to contain the rams offense.lets just hope they dont have the same success the pack did.

We didn't have Kupp who is the most valuable WR to help defeat the blitz. That's why the Packers blitz work when others haven't.

Pressure is good, its called conditioning thats what playoffs, and SB is all about. Need the experience so we don’t buckle when it matters most.

when is talib suppose to be back?
 
when is he suppose to be back?

He should be back this week. McVay said that if the game against the Pack were a playoff game, Kupp could have toughed it out and gone, but they didn't want to risk losing him to an aggravation.

Kupp was doing pregame drills and looked good.

That's how amazing McVay is. He's so mindful of player health that he is willing to expect young players to step up and take care of his players.

As for Talib, we don't know. He's out of the walking boot and was just wearing sneakers when he was on NFL Network.

My guesstimate was for him to return after the bye as that gives him plenty of time to get ready, doesn't have him try to play in Mexico City and gives him enough time to acclimate before the playoffs.

We'll see. If Talib can come back sooner and not be rushed, we sure could use him, but like with Kupp, McVay isn't going to rush him.

I really think we see Talib in Mexico City. I don’t see us being able to stop them without him.
 
Now that we have Fowler, who knows?

Also, we've seen time and again, McVay takes care of his players. He didn't rush Kupp back and he's not rushing Talib. I think the RG3 deal really informed him of the cost of pushing an injured player. Granted, it wasn't his call, but he was right there.

That's impossible. They put him in ir after week 3. He can only come back 8 weeks after that time so it will be after week 11.
