OT - Dodgers Giants Shadenfruede

snackdaddy
It appeared Darin Ruf struck out to end the game a couple months ago. But the ump said he didn't offer and it was a game tying bases loaded walk. Giants ended up winning that one. Dodgers woulda been division champs if he struck out. That is baseball. You have to live with umps decisions. Because of that non strike out Dodgers won't have home field in any series this year. Even though they have the best record of all the remaining teams. But again, you have to live with umps decisions. Its part of the game.

Here I’m sure this will better for all you that don’t like ‘certain people’ saying ‘certain’ things but it’s okay for ‘other’ people or persons you support that can say anything.

How about compromise? A Snoop Dogg Song sung my The Gourds?

This is fun…ESPN QB rankings

Jacobarch
bluecoconuts said:
I'll be honest, this really shouldn't be a difficult concept to grasp, I shouldn't have to break things down for you, but since you seem to be having a lot of trouble with understanding things I'll do just that.

The very first post in this thread is looking at QB rankings as ranked by ESPN.

Stafford is ranked 9th. Last week he was ranked 8th. There's a little red arrow pointing down next to his name under the "trend" section. That's trending down, just so we're clear.

By the end of week 3, Stafford was ranked pretty high, higher than 8 and certainly 9. The last two weeks he hasn't played as well as he played in weeks 1-3. Even if he played pretty decently against the Hawks, it wasn't as good of a performance as he had weeks 1-3. That's why he's ranked 9th currently by ESPN, which is what this thread is discussing until it got quickly derailed to talk about who we would build a team around.

I said that while I am not worried about Stafford, I can understand why the 8 QBs ahead of him in their rankings are there, although I'm not really sure about Prescott, and honestly I think Jackson rose way too much, but whatever. Stafford is trending in the wrong direction by their chart, because the last two weeks he has gone down in their ranking. I don't know about you, but I generally think that when a player drops in the rankings that's going in the wrong direction, I would prefer they go up.

You can save the straw-man arguments as well, I'm not expecting him to go out there and throw for 5 TD's and almost 400 yards every game, I never said anything remotely to that. I said the past two weeks he has missed some throws, and left plays on the field, which is just an objective fact if you watched the games. That is why he's dropped in their QB rankings and at this point, it's hard to argue against their logic because those things have happened, he played better in weeks 1-3 than he did weeks 4 and 5. That doesn't mean he's played like absolute shit and is the worst QB in the league or anything stupid like that, it just means that he played really well in the first three weeks and not as well in the last two weeks. That should not be a difficult concept to grasp, it says nothing about how he'll play on Sunday or in the future. It's about the past two weeks and his level of play compared to the first three weeks.

If you can't understand that then for the love of god just don't reply because I really don't know how to make it more simple.

He also missed a bunch of throws in the first half of the Bucks game too. so there's that

DeSean's Game - Anomaly or Taste of Things To Come

Rams43
Several things about this DJ ‘thing’.

We have no idea whether or not McVay spoke privately with DJ about the showboating or not. Same with how he holds the ball. I’m thinking that conversation probably took place, but we’ll never really know. McVay has a history of correcting his players in practice, including superstars like AD, so it’s not as if McVay is a timid HC. Not hardly.

It’s no secret that Stafford and DJ haven’t yet fully gelled. But I think it’s just a question of time. Both are elite at what they do and once they do get on the same page, look out!

If DJ can remain healthy then this Ram passing attack with the superb OL pass protection will be a nightmare to defend.

GMFB Film Breakdown - Matthew Stafford

Bob Condotta
@bcondotta

Bobby Wagner made an interesting point about Rams game. Said Rams ran their routes deeper than Seattle had seen on film. But as he noted, that only works if QB has time to throw. So, as most things in football do, came back to Rams winning that part of the line of scrimmage.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is the difference that I've mentioned in other posts. McVay has Stafford reading long to short and is scheming his route concepts deeper across the board. This is why the Rams treat 3rd and long like it was no different than say 3rd and 5. McVay is showing his confidence in the OL protection, by playing a lot of empty backfields.

McVay's passing scheme has also changed in other ways. He's isn't layering his receivers in the same way as in previous years. The WRs look to have more route options this year. It has lead to some miscommunication on throws but it's something that once Stafford and the receivers get in sync will be very hard to defend by the DBs.

If Higbee doesn't play or is limited, will McVay use Harris? These next games would be the perfect opportunity to test Harris' progress. I would love to see Harris and D. Jax on the field at the same time.

This is no longer a possession-oriented pass attack. The deep strike looks to be Sean's primary goal with everything else as setup.

Matt Gay questionable this week???

Good. Yahoo fantasy has him as questionable so I was wondering what was up.

One other thing I read from Jordan is McVay has changed his interview schedule. He now meets with the media before practice on Wednesday and won't anymore on Thursday. We usually saw every team put out an injury report on Wednesday and the Rams were like yeah no thanks. Now he changed that so no report on Thursday but we get it a day early like every team. It often led to panicked posts, not saying this was one, with questions about injuries and it was like how the hell did so and so say this injury report when the Rams haven't put one out yet :D

Brian Allen's comeback key piece to success of Rams offensive line

I think the large percentage of the board here are more wait and see and probably mostly just read, but the ones who drive most of the responses have the more extreme opinions. They are also a smaller percentage here. Similar to life. The extremes seem to drive politics and media. Here in ROD it is a good thing. Keeps me participating and distracted from the insanity outside the board. Keep on tilting guys.

yeah didn't mean to imply it was good or bad. just comes with the territory.

Kurt has become a very very good analyst

IMO that is from expressed instructions from McVay. How do I know? Because of McVay's reaction or should I say non-reaction when the throw is missed or INT compared to his reaction with Goff.

Agree with most of your post but not this part. Stafford has always pushed the ball down the field. Always loved the deep ball. Even going back to his Georgia days.. I mean you would too if you had a howitzer for a right arm. To me this is just inherent in him and why McVay wanted to make the change to move on from Goff. Goff always took the underneath route immediately if it was open and it was just natural for him. They're just different QBs in that way, but I dont think McVay is telling Stafford to read it deep to shallow. The passing plays have a specific progression and order to go through reads, and I think Stafford is just much better at that. And add his desire to push the ball down the field on top.

The problem with our defense lies with our safeties

Merlin said:
I thought about that back in camp, was thinking about that as well as even Ramsey cycling to one of those safety spots (basically going to more corners in a Cover 4 look) but the prob is our corner play wasn't good enough. Long struggling pretty much put a cap on crazy ideas like that I think, as we now need Rochell outside the hashes.

I actually think Long could be our nickel corner vs some teams on the schedule (the ones without big matchups like say Kittle) but the Rams are all-in on having Ramsey closer to the box for run fits. This idea isn't new but Staley put on a clinic in using it to his advantage and I have to say it's grown on me. But then again I'm an old school type fan who loves strong run games and defense. I'd be happy as hell watching our offense mash it on the ground for 200 yards every week if we had the complementary defense that could get off the field.

David Long's best post in this secondary at this time may be the standard Nickel Back.

Morris should run Ramsey & Rookie Rochell on the outside. Not sure who will end up being the 4th or even the 5th corner this upcoming game. Donte Deayon who was an MR53 Giant in 2018, Kareem Orr ex Titan or DC Morris's corner last season with the Falcons Tyler Hall. All can easily be brought up this weekend from the PS. I would not be surprised if 2 of the 3 are brought up.
