I am concerned about possible overuse. 30 carries this game is a lot. I would rather keep him around 25. One game does not a season make, they just need to b mindful of his number of carries.

When i say a veteran i don't mean a washed up old 12th year former pro bowler.
Someone in his prime.

We dont need an outside threat we need guys who can pass block.
Yeah no doubt the OLine needs to improve before anything else, but everything positive going on in the offense right now is focused behind the LOS. Gurley, Tavon jet sweeps, end arounds, slants, all that good stuff. That's great but if i'm a DB or LB i know where the threats are coming from...in front of you.

Keep in mind this is a very young OL who have yet to fully gel together. They may not get consistent with pass blocking until the 2nd half of the season. I have seen veteran OL guys playing together for the first time who did not gel until the 2nd half.

I'm the last person to the table of thinking about our own wr's .We MUST get a WR with CLUTCH HANDS & SPEED & I know Snead won't be sleeping tonight knowing the same thing. Just don't think that Ole' Miss kid that wears #1 ,I think Treadwell is the guy I think is THAT GUY . Don't kill me but I would be looking in FA'CY for a proven guy even tho we have so many to re-sign and replace. I'm really hoping Chris Long just has a knee bruise as he has been having a really great year as has JL. Foles was crushed by people on GD thread but took hits (Illegal) early and often and was clearly rattled. Plus all his guys were dropping everything. Yes that last Int. was behind the reciever.

We will have the time of our lives EVEN TRYING to replace Alec Ogletree . We saw today just how awesome he has been when he was'nt there. Hope he has a successfull recovery and comes back at least the same guy.

TODD GURLEY will be a HOF running back once he gets an OL and a few blocks from some TE's. We need to clean out some dead wood after a more thorough examination of who wants it bad enough. Fisher is JUST FINE by me and so are our Coordinators. So glad Gurley is getting his rest now. The Browns will be FAR from a pushover as will every game I now see on our schedule. Every game will be a war. JL ain't goin NOWHERE but I wan't to draft his long future relief player to just learn from THE MAN.

Hell even an undefeated Lions team is giving the Cards ALL they want in Phoenix without Ngata and others.

Hopefully, Todd will lose the brace after the bye. His 52- and 30-yarders against the Cards and the 55-yarder against the Pack may all have been TD's had he not been shackled.

Outside of his rushing performance, the one thing that stood out to me today was when Gurley picked up Clay Matthews blitzing. Did you guys see the way he slammed his ass? Yep, he's one of my favorite Rams players along with Aaron Donald.

I have complete confidence this OL will come together this season-----I'm looking for them to be rolling by game 10/11-----today we faced the best defense we have all season; the OL begin an upward trend after the bye week. Those 100yd plus games by TG will also begin to improve their confidence. We'll TG as the no1 weapon, TA as the no2, and BQ as the no3. We may even begin to see more of TA on the outside with BQ, and Studman in the slot. Remember, this offense and 1st time NFL coordinator just played their 5th game together-----it takes a little more time than that. Hopefully Saffold's OK, but it's the shoulder again-----so,next man up!

Idk, that's my homework assignment during the bye week. :)
Jeffery's would be my choice young big and can be gotten cheap from the fire sale that is the bears.

Update: Thomas Rawls from the Hated Seahawks went off for 160 + and has an edge over TG30 in the Rush to the rookie Rushing title.

Calvin Johnson. Detroit is staring at 0-5, they have no defense. Megatron is 30 yrs old.
Get r done Snead.

Not the Rams style to do that type of trade tho. Roddy White makes slightly more sense b/c he's older, costs a bit less, and fits the Rams offense more than Megatron (who's better in a pass-centric offense). Of course Roddy wants out b/c he doesn't wanna run block, so there's that too.

Roddy White has doesn't have enough left for it to be worthwhile.

We need help at the line bad. It doesn't matter who is your QB or WR. You cannot run a route and throw a ball in under a second and hope to get more than two yards. It's almost pathetic at this point.

He has plently left, just not getting involved in the pass game as much with Julio there. Also they finally have a run game.

BTW I'm not advocating they go out and trade for anyone. Just pointing out a guy that possibly could be traded anywhere.
