press conference on right now

Pretty fun interview after the game and his first NFL TD. I love the smirk on his face. He just looks like he wants to yell "FUCK YEAH". I get the feeling that was his greatest moment EVER.

He is one of my favorite Rams. In fact, I tend to post on this board just like how he plays: really good, but can be kind of a dick. And sometimes cross the line.

Anyway, I re-watched the highlights of the 2nd shitters game @ SoFi, painfully. And I hate to say it, Douchebo owned Jalen Ramsey. Whether his routes, that TD throw to Juan Jennings, or his runs, Douchebo got him.

After letting Tommy and Mike Evans burn him Sunday, coupled with the recent ownage, this is the game for Jalen to lock shit down for good.

I watched those highlights. There's no reason why the Rams SHOULDN'T have won that game. Both units, despite the early missteps, had a comeback in the 2nd half.

Also, no deep bombs to Ben Skowronek. MS's pick in OT. Man, OBJ had a STEP on that shitter.

Don’t know anything about him. Only that his crew threw the most flags in the NFL this year. However he’s not going to work with the crew he had in the regular season this year, so there’s that.

So back in October of 2019 I confidently added the following prediction to my Profile page:

"Rams next Superbowl is the 2021 season."

I hope I turn out to be right!!!
I knew we were not capable in 2019, and wouldn't be capable in 2020. We needed some changes.

What predictions have you made about the RAMS over the years?
And how did your predictions turn out?

Can post it when it's available but he put together a list of 12 players he thinks are best/most important players for the remaining four teams.

4 Niners, 3 Rams, 3 Chiefs and 2 Bengals


Then Rick Spielman, former Vikings GM comes on and raves about how the Niners have four players on the list. And this is after Colin has raved all about how Deebo Samuel is maybe the best non-QB offensive player in football. Meanwhile both ignore what's staring them right in the face...

Half of the top-half of the list are Rams. (AD, Cooper Kupp and Matthew Stafford)

There’s a lot of drama surrounding pretty much every contender in the nfc except the Rams, there is a scenario where the rams are the most stable team in the nfc. Let’s start with the west; Russ thinks the hags are ruining his hall of fame career(so does his wife) and maybe wants out, Kingsbury has yet another late season flame out and Kyler went from mvp to is he the guy? The 9ers drafted a qb in the first round for a reason, didn’t they?
What about the rest of the nfc? Asshole face doesn’t have a qb and doesn’t know if he wants to keep coaching, Rodgers looks like he just found out everyone gets the Rodgers rate and the Vikes need a new coach. The Cowboys aren’t sure they should keep McCarthy and their DC is probably leaving. Tom Brady’s wife is reminding him of an agreement they made about him quitting and she might divorce him if he keeps getting smacked in the head by Aaron Donald, and they’re 40 mil over the cap.
The Rams seem like the most stable organization in the nfc maybe they can go on a mini run like the Chiefs.

How does this pussy have a job on NFL network or MLB network? The only 'competitive sport' he should be giving a take on is
the hot dog eating competition.

I hope McVay and Morris have figured out how to deal with the whiners. We had them on the ropes and let them off the hook in our last game. I feel like the defense let us down in that last game during the second half. The second half started with the whiners running the ball 10 straight plays, including runs where the RB is hit in the backfield and breaks the tackle and gains 7 or 8 yards. Garapollo didn't even have to take any risks because all he did was hand the ball off and we could not stop them.

It seems pretty simple to me, on how to give us a good chance to beat and hopefully destroy the whiners on Sunday. Stop the damn run and ball security.

And If I can throw in a Bill Belicheater rule; take away their best player. Deebo Samuel is a F-N Rams Killer and he needs to be taken out of their gameplan. He needs a spy and someone to chip him before he releases from the line of scrimmage when possible.

Our defense has upped their game in the playoffs so far but we can't afford to self destruct. We were up 17-0 against the whiners and picked off Garapollo just before the half and somehow we pissed that away. Someone will have to talk me off the edge of the cliff if that happens again.

Am I missing something? The whiners offense is very basic when they play us. Run the ball and Jimmy Grabhisownpole rarely throws the ball further than 10 yards down the field.

So here's the deal. I don't have even one thousandth the knowledge of football McVay has under all those hair follicles. But that doesn't mean a fan can't have a good idea right? So here we go. Something to unveil vs the 9ers.

Personnel group is 12. TE lined up on the LOS next to the OT. Michel in the backfield. Akers out wide as Z on same side as the TE. X and Y opposite side.

As is usual the jet action to the wide hash. Time to call this shit is first down with a wide hash. Akers in motion, QB will hand it to either him (to the edge) or Michel (duo blocking up the gut) depending on defensive alignment.

This is not a new play by any means. It's just modifying what the Rams do with 11 personnel and doing it with 12 and using Akers superior threat to the edge INSTEAD OF a receiver. Basically look at the film below at 3:32 and imagine Akers there instead of Jefferson. Then imagine them using that motion and those players to have them need to cover two very good backs one of whom can kill them with that jet action. Akers off that edge would be a fucking defensive disaster. And then the Rams have Michel for mashing too if the backers cheat over.

Cowherd had a great take on Rodgers today. He also mentions reasons that explain why I don’t like him.

I feel pretty comfortable with Joe Noteboom taking over for big Whit next year.

Rams could get a handful of reinforcements back this week​

Could Andrew Whitworth, Sebastian Joseph-Day, or Darrell Henderson return this week?​

By JB Scott Jan 24, 2022, 11:01am


In their first two playoff games, the Los Angeles Rams have played well in all three phases. Star players have stepped up in key moments - such as Matthew Stafford’s game-winning bomb to Cooper Kupp in the divisional round - and the Rams have also received timely contributions from unheralded depth players, such as David Long, Jr.’s pick-six against Kyler Murray in the wildcard game.

The good news for Los Angeles is that they could be getting as many as five players back in the mix this week. Andrew Whitworth and Taylor Rapp are on the active roster but were inactive for the game against the Buccaneers. Ernest Jones, Darrell Henderson, Sebastian Joseph-Day, and Robert Rochell have been designated for return from injured reserve but have yet to be activated.

Andrew Whitworth, LT​

Whitworth was ruled out last Friday with a leg injury that he suffered on the first play of the wildcard game. Joseph Noteboom filled in admirably on the field, being named as a “winner” for his performance.
While there might not be much drop off from Whitworth to Noteboom on the field, the veteran is one of the team’s offensive captains and his presence is important in terms of leadership.

Taylor Rapp, DB​

Los Angeles lost both starting safeties to injury in Week 18 versus the San Francisco 49ers - Jordan Fuller suffered an ankle injury and Taylor Rapp left with a concussion. Rapp has not practiced over the last two weeks and there has been little to no news on his status. The league’s concussion protocol is tricky, but it would be a mild surprise not to see him available three weeks after suffering the initial injury.

Nick Scott has been impressive in Rapp and Fuller’s absences, getting a big hit on AJ Green to break up a big pass play in the wildcard round and then intercepting Tom Brady during the first half in Tampa Bay. Second-year safety Terrell Burgess has been quiet, but sometimes that’s a sign a coverage player is doing his job.

Ernest Jones, ILB​

Promising young linebacker Ernest Jones could also return from his stint on the injured reserve list this week, which would be a welcome addition for LA.

Travin Howard has played well in coverage from the off-ball linebacker spot, but the Rams use him sparingly against run-heavy teams. Troy Reeder played well against the Cardinals but struggled versus Tampa Bay - missing a one-on-one tackle attempt on Leonard Fournette that resulted in the game-tying touchdown.

Darrell Henderson, RB​

Sean McVay has talked at length about using two-back sets in order to create favorable matchups on offense, but we haven’t seen the team utilize these personnel groupings with Cam Akers and Sony Michel. In fact, we did not see much of Michel in the divisional round at all as he carried carried the ball only a single time as opposed to Akers’ 24 attempts.

Could the return of Darrell Henderson allow McVay to dig deeper into his bag and utilize these two-back sets, or should this be the Akers show moving forward? Henderson was effective early in the season, but as wear and tear took a toll he became less of a factor in the running game.

Sebastian Joseph-Day, DT​

LA’s defensive line has played at a high level in its first two playoff games and they’ve been effective both against the run and rushing the passer. Greg Gaines and A’Shawn Robinson have emerged as of late, so it’s fair to wonder how much of a boost Joseph-Day could provide; however, as we’ve seen with the Rams, it’s a good problem to continue to bring guys into the fold as you could quickly become short handed (see signing of Odell Beckham, Jr. and injury of Robert Woods).

The Rams will need to stop the run versus San Francisco, and that’s something Joseph-Day has been adept at.

Robert Rochell, CB​

As has been much discussed, Los Angeles has lost its last six games versus the 49ers - and Deebo Samuel is a big reason why. Samuel is a unique athlete that San Francisco does an exemplary job using in unique ways. It’s typical to see him line up in the backfield, at tight-end, or really anywhere - and the 49ers are going to get him the ball in space. The Rams haven’t had answers for this in the last several matchups.

But rookie corner Robert Rochell is an athletic freak also, though he’s still considered to be fairly green in terms of football skills. It’s not fair to ask Rochell to matchup with Samuel one-on-one, but at least he could give the Rams someone other than Jalen Ramsey to mitigate the damage. LA could use all the speed it can get on defense for the NFC title game, and Rochell would be a big boost.

Fun fact: I was using the moniker AvengerRam long before the MCU made the term a pop culture staple.

That said, I think my MCU counterparts have provided several "quotes" that apply to the current Rams team. Here's my top 10 (from the home offices in Winter Park, Florida):

#10 (Re: mild-mannered Von Miller): "I’m a huge fan of the way you lose control and turn into an enormous rage monster.”

#9 "For the last five years I've been trying to do one thing, get to right here. That's all it's been about. Bringing everybody back." (Natasha Romanoff or Sean McVay?)

#8 "It's not about how much we lost. It's about how much we have left." (We miss Robert Woods and Jordan Fuller, but we push on.)

#7 “You get hurt, hurt ’em back. You get killed… Walk it off.”

#6 "A thing isn't beautiful because it lasts." (Now's not the time to be thinking about expiring contracts and the salary cap.)

#5 "What you seek lies in front of you. As does what you fear."

#4 "I Don't Judge People By Their Worst Mistakes." (We saw the potential in players others have cast off.)

#3 "Part of the journey is the end."

#2 "“There was an idea to bring together a group of remarkable people, to see if we could become something more”

#1 "We're in the endgame now."

We know he’s not celebrating he’s planning for Sunday. Celebration comes after the Super Bowl win.

Just wondering, does anyone have an idea who Matthew Stafford was pointing at & looks to be urgently telling to get to the line of scrimmage right before he spikes the ball? Don't wish to call anyone out. Just really impressed with his leadership in that situation & how he helped the team get organized during a chaotic situation. Thx!

Skip it. Skip it Good!!

During halftime of the Chiefs- Bills game they(CBS) showed highlights of our game and they said Gay was injured pregame but I haven't seen anything else about it.

( sorry if this a repost)

The Rams gave Ball Brady his first loss as a starter in 2001 and hopefully ended his career yesterday. Hopefully Karen calls it a day. Still a cheating spoiled brat IMO

Our head coach turns 36 today
