We could technically beat any of these teams, but I don't see us winning that many games in a row against the best ones. At least you won't lose much if we don't make it. But if you are in the dance, you always have a chance.
This is exactly why there is a large contingent on this forum that pulls their hair out in frustration because Atwell isn’t getting enough deep targets.
He was top tier. It was just the injuries that held him back. His movement skills are crazy.
The Rams envisioned him being a pulling guard, which he did very well when healthy at Detroit. But, moving Avila to center was not working as planned. That and the injuries screwed up the entire plan. Had Avila transitioned well to Center and Jackson was fully healthy, this offensive line would be a top five unit.
Im basing what I said on watching a few Lions games and focusing on Jackson. The games I saw he was solid but not great.....that of course, in the big picture, means nothing.
I will take your word he is top tier.
He certainly played well vs Seattle.
I assume he is returning next year.
Camp could be interesting with Avila, Limmer, Dotson and Jackson for 3 spots.
Now that the starting line is back together Avila has been the weakest link, in pass pro anyway.
Ok. Full admission. You and 20hrswk work for PFF - right???
Seriously - I often look up players PFF ratings but that’s because I love stats. I prefer to use my own eyes for my primary assessment (as flawed as that might be) and PFF/ESPN stats, FFB stats/etc. as complimentary.
I use my eyes primarily for Rams players and then refer to PFF, Next Gen, ESPN, and other analytical data. Most of the time, it's within ballpark of what I expected. Sometimes it's way off, like when they say Kyren is not good at pass pro, in which case I ignore their assessment.
For non-Rams players I use the analytical data first and then my eyes because I don't see all of them play often.
Uh.... what the fuck am I watching? Has a timestamp that immediately starts showing some random asian guy showing pictures of coloring books or something lol. I see right before that timestamp there's some NFL coverage... just very weird. View attachment 69219
I can’t figure those out. I get them in my sports feed regularly. There’s a YouTube trophy, so whatever they’re doing must be working. Maybe they need enough content (in this case useless coloring) to fool the copyright strike algorithm?
I think there's enough talent in the draft, at the positions we need, that we could just see who falls to us out of the WR-CB-TE group.
Pretty sure Warren won't but I think there's at least one other TE who may even be rated higher than him? the michigan TE?
Interesting that, even with Limmer held out, J. Jackson is still not playing C. Played RG in fact. Neither Avila nor J. Jax played C.
We're like 4-deep at OG.
btw, anyone remember that Boom is a leftie? is why he should NEVER play RT.
My opinion won't be popular but I think Campbell gives them their toughness. He drives an environment where intensity and toughness are required, and he gets the most from that roster.
He is a bonehead on gameday quite often. But that team would not be as consistent as they are without him.
I would love to see them bounced in their first game though. I think that intensity they field, as always, can be muted with a steady mashing of run game. And I think our starting OL, if healthy, is capable of leaning on them.
Campbell got the Lions out of their SOSAL mentality. But he’s an easy guy to hate when you lose to him. Same as Siriani. The key is to beat these meatheads.
To be honest with you the game was closer than I thought it would be after the way it started out. I thought the backups on offense played better than I expected. Garoppolo had a nice game other than the interception and the poor pass at the end of the game. The backups on the OL held their own which surprised me. I hated to see Corum go down with the injury because I was looking forward to seeing him in this game, but Rivers had a nice game. Finally, Karthy came up big and gained some confidence moving forward.
"Yup I was hoping we would completely annihilate them and send them to the playoffs with a nice solid L but we probably just gave them enough confidence to win the superbowl."
The Rams are planning to rest some key starters this weekend. They may have up to 7 inactive, so who would you sit?
THE KNOWN KNOWNS (announced)
1. Matthew Stafford
2. Rob Havenstein
THE UNKNOWN KNOWNS (unannounced, but obvious)
3. Cooper Kupp
4. Kyren Williams
I’m very positive these 4 players above will sit. The ones below may be put on rest. Though some others might have limited snaps like Puka, Fiske, and V8.
THE KNOWN UNKNOWNS (keep that pressure fresh, not rookies)
5. The Conductor
6. Agent 0
THE UNKNOWN UNKNOWN (contract year and may be a Rams offer he can’t refuse)
7. Alaric Jackson
I was fairly close, but neither the conductor or agent 0 will be “fully resting”. It appears Nacua and Dotson will deservedly get a week off to heal up for the playoffs!
To me the jury is still out on this 2024 team, they have grown and developed since the start of the season especially on defense. I look for the backups on offense today to showcase their abilities. This is their opportunity to shine, I expect they will take that to heart. Lastly the Rams are playing the hated Seahawks in L.A. what a better way to end the season then to send those bitches home crying.
