How are we going to trade Stafford for first round picks if he’s broken into a million pieces by week 7??
 
Edit: Wrong thread.

Have any of the trainers twisted an ankle yet - or had any ligament tears??

Whatever it is - it seems contagious....

So, basically FOUR road games to start the season, with a decimated O-line and loss of 2 best WR's...

Yeah, this is promising.... for a good draft pick!

Rams sign Tanner Brown because even the kicker is down with injury.

Waiting to see how it can get worse.
 
I feel like it’s possible a number of things contributed to these injuries.

1) Puka training with Kupp.

Let’s be honest, Kupp is injury prone, especially as of late. The types of workouts he does could be a culprit, but maybe not. It is strange that training with Kupp in the offseason has Puka leaned out, but also injured. Coincidence?

2) Shuffling of the offensive line at the last minute. Spending all offseason learning a specific position allows you to play fast without thinking. Your body gets conditioned for planting hard with specific limbs. The two biggest injuries up front? The two they switched. Another coincidence?

3) Lack of play time in the preseason. Now I know there is a lot of mixed feelings on this, but you simply can not condition the body during practice for the type of abuse it will face in live football. Especially when the first game is against a team like the Lions. That dogfight beat our team up. I feel a lot of what we saw Sunday against Arizona was residual effects from the Detroit game. I don’t expect the Rams to necessarily run the tables, but I certainly didn’t envision a blow out loss after the way they played Detroit.

4) Lack of identity. McVay wants so bad for the Rams to torch teams in the passing game, but what he forgets is that our turn around last season came because he put focus on the run. The Rams seemed lost out there even before Kupp went down. The last time we have seen this many injuries, the Rams tried to fit a square peg in a round hole. This feels very similar. I don’t think they ran once on the first drive of Detroit.

I do agree that Kupp probably over trains and that could have affected Nacua as a result. I mean he said he's puking on his lawn. Nacua should avoid training with Kupp. I mean he was almost a little pudgy in his rookie season and very durable. Go back to rice and mac salad, it was working.

Alaric might not be a good LT, but he is far far better than anyone we have tried there so far this season. We will take average as an improvement.

So what's our OL looking like now?

LT - Jackson
LG -Mclendon
OC - Limmer
RG - Dotson
RT - Havenstein

That doesn't look too bad if I didn't forget an injury.
