I found it striking how well the whiners blocked down the field and how poorly the Rams blocked down the field, or at or behind the line of scrimmage for the rams. The Rams lost every time. When you lose most of the blocks, effort has to come into play. Why weren't they trying their best?
Just listened to Ram great OL Jackie Slater and his take on Rams loss to 48'ers. First thing he said was how the OL change affected the their play. How it disrupted the run game. He questioned why they started Havenstien and move Wichmann to RG.
If you listen to Fisher's presser yesterday, he made comment the O-Line graded out pretty well. I guess I would seriously disagree, but who am I to say they stunk pretty much the whole game.
I still maintain that Saffold is the better ORT right now. Wichmann had played very well @ LEFT OG before being flipped back in the rotation @ ORG. These two changes before the first regular season game were not needed. If I was in charge of an OL that had a very long history of having no continuity & being the biggest issue season after season..........why would I make one NO two changes in it just before the first game? Oh just so I can say "I put the best five OL'ers on the field"? That now surely makes no sense:rant:!
OLine played poorly for sure, but there's something fishy with Keenum.
There were two times I saw that the Niners only rushed 3 and Keenum still took a 3 step drop and threw the ball....predictably they were not completed. Whereas you noticed earlier in the night Kirk Cousins held the ball against the Steelers 3 man rush and waited for their guy to get open.
it almost seems like Keenum is preprogrammed on what to do and cannot adapt to a change.
