“If we continue to just worry about what we can control right now, and that's having a great performance against a tough team in Detroit. If we do that, then that gives us a chance to win our division...”
-HC SEAN McVAY

Head coach Sean McVay said his Rams aren’t looking past the Detroit Lions en route to a potential one seed and home field advantage in the NFC come playoff time. With a win, McVay will clinch the NFC West, winning his second division title in two years as a head coach. McVay’s Rams clinched Week 16 a season ago, in a back-and-forth game against the Titans. “Yeah, he's going to go. As far as how many snaps, we don't know that quite yet.”
-HC SEAN McVAY


Cornerback Aqib Talib was a full participant in Friday’s practice and McVay said the defensive back will play in Detroit.Talib returns to the field after missing eight games on injured reserve after suffering a left ankle injury Week 3 against the Chargers.McVay said he expects Talib’s return to provide “a big boost for his team.
I do think any time that you're talking about a player of Aqib's caliber with the communication, the command, the leadership that he brings – he brings people with him.”
-HC SEAN McVAY

McVay expanded on what Talib’s return means to his team — specifically the defense.Earlier this week, Lions head coach Matt Patricia opened up about his time with Talib in New England and had similar things to say about the corner.“He's a phenomenal player,” Patricia said. “He's an unbelievable competitor. He's a guy that just raises the bar of everyone around him.”Patricia spent two seasons as Talib’s defensive coordinator with the Patriots back in 2012 and 2013.

“If it was up to me, I would have played about two or three weeks ago.”
-CB AQIB TALIB


Talib’s quick response to reporters before taking off to Detroit perhaps exemplifies the 32-year-old defensive back’s competitive spirit.Talib said Friday’s practice was as good as his ankle has felt yet.

Los Angeles Rams activate CB Aqib Talib, waive WR Nick Williams

Just prior to their week 13 showdown with the Detroit Lions, the Los Angeles Rams have officially activated CB Aqib Talib off the injured reserve list and in a corresponding move have waived WR Nick Williams:


Los Angeles Rams (@RamsNFL) November 30, 2018
Talib returns after suffering an ankle injury in week three against the Los Angeles Chargers. Originally being brought in as the top cornerback on the team, Talib had a solid 2.5 weeks of play up until his unfortunate injury. His familiarity with Defensive Coordinators Wade Phillips’ defense as well as his talent will be a big boost for the team.The return of Talib allows Marcus Peters to stick to the right side of the field and Talib return to the left. Talib’s return allows CB Troy Hill to return to the bench.

In the corresponding move, Nick Williams was a part of the team for the past few weeks though hasn’t been a factor. He was also inactive recently.
 
Aquib on spell check changes to “Squib”. Lol. Welcome back Aquib, you are sorely missed.

Wade Phillips is doing his “happy dance” right now which includes pelvic thrusts. Dilly dilly.

Well, it’s Aqib (no “u”), but that’s funny.

I think spellcheck was a programmer’s attempt to create viral humor and end relationships.
When I was doing generic IT support a couple years ago, anyone we found a pretty designed program or device we blamed engineers going through a divorce. It provided humor to otherwise very irritating times.

Crap. I jacked this post up.

I fixed it though.
