I think if you compare whos out for us and who's out for them, its a lot closer then you think (taking into account starter status and potential harm to the team). They are down to like 1 passing threat (DK) and Ramsey has had his number as of late. AD is going to feast on their rookie back up RT too. I just hope Evans or Anchrum can handle the pass blocking at RT.
You quoted the wrong guy. Either that or the web site messed up pretty bad. I did not say those things but @Ram Ts did.

Not looking forward to Evans at RT, I really would play someone else.
I'm with you there. If preseason performance meant anything the starter will not be Evans. In fact anyone but him.

The Rams used to be unpredictable with the OL, having a pecking order that didn't exactly match what happened in preseason, in previous years under Kromer. So this will be interesting.

I'm not sure by what equation they are determining this but the pro football reference site has the Shehawks at #4 overall defense, which was shocking to me. We are #9. The top 2 make sense so it makes me think there is some logic to it (NEP, BUF).

I had honestly assumed they were one of the bottom defenses in the league. I cannot fathom how they are #4. They have given up the 2nd most yards passing in the league, and played one less game then the worst (so they will be worst after tonight).

They are surprisingly the top run D in the NFL when applied to YPC at 3.8. We are not far behind at 3.9 YPC.

I assume we will be doing most of our damage in the air, but I do hope we can establish some kind of run game early and hold them to playactions.

Looks like they're ranking by points allowed (PA). I think that's the way it is on Fox Sports, too.

Lewis not being able to go kinda sucks. They are pretty thin at Edge/OLB right now as well as RT, TE and S.

One of the best NFL deep threats and route runner -Tylar Lockett- a huge loss for the SeaHawks

Yeah they are a good defense. Should be a nice tune-up game for our offense vs the rest of the sched. Seahawks gonna play balls out tonight, hope the Rams are ready for a physical division game.

I think he's getting weeded out a bit of late. He's available but not dressing.

I have an idea!

Can we borrow back Gerald Everett for the night? He'll be there, and that would only be fair!

I have a feeling Cards will not beat Colts and their hellacious run game next week.
I think we get our shot at West Champs if we simply find a way to take care of business.
Go Rams!!! Front 7 do your thing!!

No thanks. IMHO he already has that hawk stench.
Harder to remove than a skunk spraying.
F Everett!
