Don't stoke the fire, I'm fine for having fun, but you don't dance on a team's logo and IMO, you should spend more time honing your craft then on tick tock, wishing you could be dancing with the stars. Ask Greg Robinson how is rapping career is going.

Well I mean they spend the whole week doing that. Him dancing on the logo is not why they are losing.

But whatever, he said he's going to stop, not a good look when you're on a 3 L streak, sure. I don't get the tickity tock either, I think the whole app is stupid but hey, in the grand scheme of things its harmless fun. No one will care if they win, but you be a fool after an L.

Rams Secret Sauce Recipe for Winning Out!!

Merlin
Also of note is that teams of late have been doing what the 9ers defense does which is shift around up front and confuse the o linemen. The Pats were doing that on both sides of their line with both jumping inside right before the snap.

So I think the Rams have been having comms issues and assignment breakdowns. Probably relates to not having Whit out there helping them handle shit. And that isn't the worst thing to have happen btw as it means your linemen can actually start not getting beat by not fucking up their assignments.

Biggest prob right now for us IMO is getting Akers back. The offense was responding to him man. So hope Hendy is ready to show people what he can do.

I love the Rams

Mackeyser
I moved to the San Gabriel Valley in 1976 and that Christmas, I got a bunch of sports pennants from the local teams as my parents thought I would start being interested in sports. At the time, I was barely a Laker fan b/c 3 years prior, my step-dad wouldn't teach me to ride my new bike and I was so mad. He was watching a basketball game and I asked, "who's playing?" and he said "the Knicks and the Lakers". He's from Brooklyn and was a diehard Knicks fan and HATED the Lakers.

Well... if dad's not gonna teach me to ride my bike b/c of some stupid game on tv, then I'm gonna root against him while I teach myself ( I did). So yeah, Laker fan since age 5. Also, in a very nice moment of resolution, my dad asked me more than 20 years later to teach him to ride a bike as he wanted to be more active and had never learned growing up in a big city. So I did. It was a nice moment that afternoon.

Anyway, sorry, got all those pendants and I'd remembered watching the Rams a few times. I LOVED the blue and gold unis and the helmets were amazing. I still remember Cappelletti running on a sweep to the left and Nolan Cromwell intercepting passes and becoming my favorite Ram player of my youth. And they've been my team ever since... I took a little hiatus after the move for a few years, but I came back prior to the 99 season b/c I was ready to be over it. Glad I didn't miss it.

The Ram Cam Conspiracy

jacktheripper85
TexasRam said:
Do you like a good conspiracy? I do.

In the Rams huge win vs the Pats in week 14, Cam Akers exploded and put the league on notice with a huge game that looked Taylor made for the Pats with some great run designs that looked weeks in the works out of formations the Rams rarely used before such as using Gerald Everett as a lead blocker.

Before the Pats game, Akers was listed as questionable with a "Shoulder injury". Maybe you missed that....I didn't. But then he magically appeared active on game day and the huge game took everyone by surprise.

After the record breaking game vs the Pats, Akers was asked about the shoulder injury and he smiled and asked "What shoulder injury?". :sneaky: When asked again he smiled again and raising his eyebrows said "What shoulder injury". Hmmmmmmm. :hush:

In week 15 vs the Jets Cam came out of the game for a while on a supposed injury. He then Returned and made some huge runs that were unfortunately called back for holding. He made some hard cuts that looked pretty seemless.

Mysteriously, Cam Akers went on the injury report this week as out - with an ankle injury.:whistle:

Could it be that Shaun Mcvay is saving his secret weapon - Akers - for another huge outing in the playoffs? If Arizona beats SF on Saturday or the Bears lose in the early Sunday game the Rams will automatically clinch their playoff spot and resting starters could take priority in Mcvays mind. Actually - even if those things didn't happen, Akers is only listed out one week, so he could always return vs Arizona - if needed - a team the Rams beat very easily a few weeks back. Otherwise, if the Rams clinch Akers will probably be resting two full games before the playoff run.

Mcvay has been known to rest starters in previous seasons after clinching his playoff spot.

So is Cam Akers really hurt? Or might we see him explode in the playoffs after lots of rest?

If we see him break out in the playoffs you might just see him respond in the post game conference with a smile and the words "What ankle?";)

Rams Future 2019

I hate posters who constantly analyze situations without having the full information in front of them.

You don't know where we are going to draft.

You don't what the impact of NOT having Goff vs what draft picks we would have taken. 50% of first round players are busts or never live up to the potential of a first rounder.

What Snead/McVay are doing is stacking the odds in the Rams favor. By getting the best single DB in the league that immensely helps vs us bitching how Peter's or Taking got burned remember TB. My guess if we had Ramsey we would have won that game.

Do you ever hear or see Ramsey get beat? I don't! What is that worth when it frees up other players. By having Goff we stopped the revolving door at QB and gave stability to the position. Now we need to give stability to the oline and we will be fine.
Click to expand...
Agree 100% all the moves were excellent. Goff has shown Pro Bowl top offense in the NFL 2 years in a row with a solid Oline. The money was totally justified considering how hard it is to find a reliable starter and considering what he has done with his supporting cast.

The Ramsey move has paid for itself. The chances of finding that much of a defensive impact player with the picks given up is so low. The draft is such a crapshoot at best. With Donald in his prime you need to have the complements now.

We need a Center, a healthy Whitworth and an impact offensive player which Cam Akers might be, especially with a new center. Maybe an ILB, the rest of the roster is competitive and has us primed for a strong playoff run. That's pretty amazing considering the losses to Gurley, Whitworth, Kizer and key injuries along the way to Rapp, Fuller, Akers, OBO, Lewis, Burgess etc

20 Random Disgusted, but Looking Ahead, Thoughts

AvengerRam said:
7. The second thing McVay did is to hide what I think are fairly significant offensive line deficiencies (exacerbated by the loss of Andrew Whitworth), with designed misdirection and other "tricks." When the offense has clicked, that has been a big trigger. When the OL has had to simply line up and beat the opposition, not so much.
Click to expand...
Agreed. And I think McVay is a victim of his own success. He does a great job masking weaknesses through scheme and that's one of the best compliments you can pay any coordinator/gameplanner IMO.

Most teams that lose their starting LT... You're gonna feel it. We felt it too and Boom has proven to be a valuable backup but McVay has also done his usual job of scheming things to limit the opportunities of the DL.

Bottom line here IMO is Goff needs a better line to be his best. He's our QB and that isn't gonna change. So let's go get him a Center who won't be in his fucking lap or resembling a turnstile when he faces a plus DL. And maybe get him another WR if you think Van isn't going to grow into that WR3 we need to replace Cooks. And maybe get Hopkins going in the passing game next season to give the QB another good option he can trust.

But everything with Goff starts with the line. We can win with him just need better around him.

Anyone watch Canelo box last nite ?

fearsomefour
He dominated.
Dude he was fighting was 27-0, a champion.
Not a chump.
He towered over Canelo at 6’ 3”.
By the third round Connelo was inside his jab and operating right in the pocket.
Smith was tentative with anything but his jab.....it’s hard when the guy you are fighting moves better, is quicker and has more power.
The guy was fighting a typically British style.....not much if any head movement and just would not tie up.
It went the distance but Canelo dominated.
I gave Canelo 10 of 12 rounds.

Snap Counts vs Jets

Tano said:
Those stats tell me we were in 11 formation for most of the game.

What happened to the 12 formation that was working so well for us in the prior games.

Where the hell was Mundt that game?

McVay - you overthunk yourself again.

McVay - I think you are a great coach but you have got to stop second guessing yourself and go with what is working in the prior games

leoram said:
I think you make a good point here. McVay seemed to be tuning up 11 for future games when the ONLY strength of the Jets defense was up front. More 12 personnel would've been appropriate.
Click to expand...
The same thing happened late last season too. They went heavy with 12 in wins over the Bears and Seahawks but for some reason went back to 11 against the Cowboys and the offense stalled.

It's my fault for the loss.

Merlin said:
The book on the Rams: beat them up front and you turn their offense into shit. It's been a consistent theme the Jets just had trouble doing it for a full 60.

We got probs man. It's gonna be tough to get past the big front defenses in the playoffs, assuming of course we get in which we should.
Click to expand...

I don’t know what book that is,but the Sports Books did well with that game.

Lose to Hags Then to Zona ?

Where does that put Zthe Rams ? Those are playoff teams. The J E T S
We’re 0-13 & beat The Rams at SOFI for there 2nd home loss. The other was to a Muller QB Niners team also without Kittles & Bosa.

The ticket to the Playoffs just past,unless The Rams are thinking the ticket got mailed in? We all know about the US postal service now a days. I need to tip my best friend mail gal Cindy.
Maybe we win the Raffle,but Amazon delivers aren’t going to make it on time 2020 for The Rams.
Thanks NY again.
