Watch: Sean McVay stunned by Rams fans' negativity in comments while recording podcast

Sean McVay often says he doesn’t pay attention to outside noise, whether the Rams are playing well or struggling. He didn’t give in to the hype of Los Angeles being a Super Bowl contender this summer, and now that the Rams are on a three-game losing streak, he’s also not su

Lets review who is on IR currently and if they will be back this season.

I'm not sure if the OP means whether the mentioned players would be back in 2021 or be returning at all ?
Mundt & SJD are the only cited players not under contract beyond this season, so the remaining IR'd guys will return for 2022. Travin Howard becomes an ERFA so is a likely return. Even with the great reports about Akers, his injury is still a reason for concern about a full recovery, although he is likely to present the most impact if he can come back at 100%.
While it may be unpopular, I can't help but feel that Woods may become a 2022 CAP Casualty, and SJD may be too expensive to re-sign.

Back this season per the notes by each name.

Why do we continue to play zone?

Mackeyser said:
Well, it's been 3 straight games of the same.

and if nothing changed during the bye week... it's just not gonna.

People talk about Tampa's record last year, but during their late bye, they both revamped and got healthy.

We didn't revamp and got crushed.

The question is now if we can beat the Jags. If we don't, we go from a "well, we're not gonna with the division, but we're locked in at the 5 seed" to "we're 7-5 with 4 straight losses and a killer schedule in front of us where there are no wins in front of us if we keep doing things the same way"

The point is that if we don't do things differently, we run the legitimate risk of losing out. That's probable because every team we face from here on out is capable of playing the exact same game plan on both sides of the ball with only the Jags as being potentially inconsistent enough that we win.

Now, based on the evidence of the last 3 games... do you see us changing...anything?

Or are we gonna just hear week after week "we have to execute better and I have to do a better job of putting our players in a position to succeed"...

I hope we do change. I hope that ass-whoopin' by the Packers was enough to change us. I hope we aren't sitting here after a loss to the Jags after having done the same silly shit that lead to the last 3 straight losses and end up saying and doing the same things.

The only question I have is "will we change"? I hope so, but I doubt it.

Well say as you will.

Sean Mcvay said the defense played well enough to WIN.

Playing from behind gets old.

Complain all you want.I saw a lot of good things out there against Green Bay.They (DEFENSE) played 4 quarters.
I liked the toughness & really liked D. Williams improvement.He finally looked healthy.

The defensive front of Greg Gaines & A. Robinson’s toughness is going to go a long way.

TAMPA- F’ Tampa!! they wouldn’t beat GBay on the road again this year & got lucky last season.

Then again I’m excited to see The Rams kick The Crap out of the JAGS.

If not I will start to believe in a NFL conspiracy if the lawsuit. Timing is perfect.The Refs started it the Last time they Played at SOFI!! Higbee was in (lol). Some of those calls though were bad.

Going back to SF & GBay on the road. Really ?? I get it & am upset.

My truth is I think The Rams & Raheem Morris are fine.Might keep being proven wrong,but I’m sticking with this team & defense.

Back to Tampa?? Yes that was where the SuperBowl was won.The Rams could catch fire.There is an extra game in 2021 to throw a wrench in the fire.

I’m Considering a School House

Did you move-ahead on this?

I just got home from a long walk and crashed on the couch. Put on a channel called Destination America and started to watch a show titled You Live in What?

All about people that have re-purposed different old buildings (and even a ferry) into homes. Does not follow the construction but walks the viewers through what was done. Just enjoyed the hell out of it. Some people are so freaking creative. One building was a re-worked old school house built in the 1870s and unused since the 1920s. It was re-purposed about 30 years ago.

Reminded me of this thread; and I had to find it and ask what happened. Hope you are OK with that.

Well, my wife had reason to visit the property a few weeks ago because of a garage sale going on there, and she spoke to one of the current owners of the property. This person was an adult child of the original owners who are deceased (parents). Supposedly there is a potential buyer who is seeking a loan, but hasn’t got it yet. It’s a private sale if so….My wife gave he4 one of our business cards in case the deal falls through, which is very possible.

Stat(s) of the Week: Week 12 (Why the “bend don’t break” approach is stupid)

Pupped
AvengerRam said:
When the Rams get the ball, they are productive.

Don't believe me?

Here are the Rams' yards/drive and points/drive #s (and rankings):

Yards/Drive: 38.05 (3rd/tied)
Points/Drive: 2.69 (3rd)

So why are the Rams not scoring more? Well...

Average Time of Possession: 27.5 minutes (29th)
Total Offensive Drives: 111 (27th/tied)

While some of these stats can be explained by a positive factor - quick scoring drives - I think that overall, and particularly in recent weeks, it has been due to the "bend don't break" defensive approach that is allowing teams to eat up yards and clock. Its keeping the offense off the field.

Look at last Sunday. The Packers' first drive lasted 15 plays and ate up more than half a quarter (8:08). Even though it didn't result in points, it kept the Rams' offense from getting back on the field and getting into a rhythm. Even worse was the opening drive of the second half, which ate up over half the quarter (7:42), and resulted in a Packer TD.

The Rams need to alter their approach and pressure defenses with tighter man coverage (particularly on 3rd down). While this could result in the occasional big play over the top, that would be better than the "death by a 1,000 cuts" we've been seeing.

At least the offense would get more chances which, statistically speaking, would lead to good things.

Or lead to more turnovers.

Which is death by a couple of cuts for the team turning the ball over.

Rams, NFL and St. Louis settle

OC--LeftCoast said:
Agreed

It sucked how they even moved to STL in the first place, and I could write a Novel on that but we’ve heard it before

This much is indisputable, the moment the became the LA Rams again, they went from bottom of the bucket value NFL franchise to the top tier, Stan knew this, its surprising many others thought his roots would save the day for STL, a point I brought up more than once on the potential move ROD sticky a few years ago

That being said I’m happy for the STL community
Click to expand...
No doubt the move to LA was a factor in the upgrades value but the value in the team was going up anyway with the new tv revenue deals and the new stadium and naming rights in stl would have pushed it in the top 5 but a extra billion dollar evaluation probably would have persuaded me too tbh

Coach McVay Show Today

Malibu said:
Listening to this interview with Demarco Farr and JB Long McVay sounded insincere to me. Using the same typical McVay lingo - his face seems defeated to me. Where is the passion? Where is - I am going to kick their asses all this week. He needs to say something.

He defaults to:

Lot of things we can takeaway from yesterday some of the similiar themes hurt us and hurt our ability to get the outcome we desired
Love this group love this team
During these tough times you need to look inside out more than ever our guys stay connected
Love the energy on the sideline
Our football philosophy our way of winning football games
We expect to go play and get the result we desire

Blah Blah Blah

All typical McVay speak nothing has changed. Very rarely does he says the team needs to improve.
Click to expand...

After Spags, Linehan and Fisher, I give McVay a lot of leeway.

We've been to a super bowl (and one bad called may have prevented us from winning it). We haven't had a losing season under McVay.

I'm not ready to give up on McVay. He's a young guy and just needs to learn from experience. No head coach has been raided for more assistants than McVay in recent years. Even the Bucs didn't lose much after winning the super bowl.

My worst fear would be to lose McVay to see him become the next Belichik with another team.

I think this year wasn't the year to go "all in" because we're missing pieces. But of course, hindsight is 20-20. The Von Miller trade was made when we were 7-1 and still had Robert Woods.

I've wanted Scherff forever it seems. He needs to tell Washington to get fucked, that he won't play the tag game or sign with them. Dude has wasted enough of his career with those fucks.

Seems like Scherff should be a natural fit working with McVay as he was the OC at Washington when Scherff was drafted, they had the 2015 & 2016 seasons together. jmo.

OBJ, Von, Stafford - what do they have left?

Merlin
The way OBJ was holding his back my fear is we're gonna find out that he's gonna miss time ahead. And we need that dude settling in out there for this stretch of games. If he goes on IR or something it's gonna be another big hit. Jefferson is just not ready to hold it down on offense. He's ok at best. We need that third heat for matchups and if we have to go to one of these guys who are bottom of the chart McVay might as well throw his deep play chart in the trash because it's gonna be running and the short throws he has said he hates from here on out.

Game Day Menu Thread - Rams at Packers - What’s on your menu?

oldnotdead
A mountain of wings, homemade guac & chips, homemade seasoned fries (tip: blanch the fries allow to cool to room temp then season and air fry) and lots of cerveza to celebrate or drown the sorrow. LOL

If the Rams simply quit giving the game away they can beat the Packers going away. Please Matt, take what is given and quit holding the ball waiting for slow-developing plays when the rush is coming. Throwing it away is better than forcing the ball.

This is a revenge game and they need to play like it.
