i really want to see corum, jimmy g, and backup WR's...

the problem is, our 2's will be going against their 1's....

if corum has any success, it will be awsome... and prove we gotta see more with the big boys...

jimmy g may be running for his life on most pass plays, so success there is play calling, with execution......

WR's? hey, im hopeful they can get a little separation, and JG is accurate with his throws....

we are most likely not getting a lot of these scenarios, but just a few glimpses would satisfy me...

reps... it's all good

go rams

Would love to see our backups crush their starters. :)

Guys-If Jimmy G puts up 350 yards 3 TDs and 0 INTs with a passer rating of 130+ and win by a couple of TDs there might be a QB controversy in the WC game …jk. I hope

It's probably hard to gameplan for a QB that can clearly play and is capable of scoring points who you have zero game tape on with the rams. Id imagine that he would have a great couple of games for the rams then cool off if he ever had to step in.

I hope the Oline starters play. I don’t want Jimmy Garapolo getting injured.
Most have to play due to the number of lineman we carry, but with Hav most likely out we'll already see Boom at least, and I would like to see Josh Jackson. I'm hoping both of them need to knock off some rust so they can be game ready, kind of how Avila did after he looked horrible when he first returned.

Definitely rest all of the defense, especially D line. Verse and fiske must be exhausted after their first 16 game season.
Verse and Fiske shouldn't be more tired than the veterans, they have the young legs. But Verse himself could use the break after tiring himself out trying to bull rush every snap.

Yeah, there's no reason to risk key players. Our bye was 3 months ago. They could use the rest and rehab. And who knows, maybe a backup or two will show something the staff hasn't seen from them yet. I'm curious to see if JG can still play.
I bet if the oline is good JG would play well. hope they can block for him.

Idk. They used to talk about the rookie wall. Remember that Verse and Fiske have never played this much football in one year before.

Not to mention the toll it takes to prep for the combine, the workouts with teams. The whole dog and pony show of getting drafted. They really didn't get a full off season. I would like to see them get very minimal snaps at least.

Rams may be giving up a potential home playoff game with this strategy, if they win in the wildcard round. Also teams resting some of their guys week 18 are 3-7 in wildcard weekend since the new format. 1-3 last season. Agree or disagree with the approach it doesn't seem to provide an advantage.

We won the division = automatic home game.

Seahag fans seem to think they're gonna be the team of the future. Would love it if our backups beat their starters. Then watch their forums implode. :laugh4:

Problem is, the SheCocks are going to go all out to win this game. They want a 10 win season and they want to beat us to show that they should have won the division. I'm pretty convinced they don't sit any starters. Hope they pay for that in one way or another.
