Wrapped up my chores early to watch the game. I am looking forward to seeing our new pass coverage.

 

[UVA_Guy81]

Just turned it on a few minutes ago. Looks like the defense is letting them do just about anything they want at the moment.

 

[Red_Chaos]

shit, got the wrong start time and we are getting creamed... so much for all those ints during practice

 

[LongtimeRamsFan42]

God, Mannion looks awful out there!!!

We started one starting offensive player and one starting defensive player to begin the game. Plus the refs are more than rusty, letting some obvious holds and illegal blocking down field on the Jackson drive and TD.

true, but if we get hit by the injury bug (which may have already hit westbrook) it doesn't look good for our backups

 

[ANGELAKERAMS]

If the Rams have to go to Mannion at all this season, they are screwed.

And that's assuming he makes the roster cause he looks that bad.

We need to quarantine that bug Red! That's an infectious pest. LOL.

Usually them injuries will take out a dude here or there, and the rest of the starters pick up the rest of the slack.

 

[Rambunctious]

Well that sucked.

 

[ANGELAKERAMS]

No major starters and very vanilla defense to not show teams anything, and that's the result you are going to get.

But Mannion still should've shown more than he did.

Time to give another QB a chance at the #2 position

 

[Rambunctious]

Why Mannion is still a Ram is a mystery to me. I don't think I have ever been impressed with his game.

im sure mrwallace2ku can tell us what went wrong

Mannion: “We just have to take a look at the film, and learn, and just execute better.”

Is it me or does that sound just like Fisher?

Pretty much... same kind of excuses

 

[Battlelyon]

No major injuries is the only preseason victory I care about

 

[Battlelyon]

Perez and Allen need more playing time, Mannion less. The guy has not to be developing as a player.

 

[Jermaine133]

hm lets see, a stud 23 yd QB and 2 trash backups yes we should have took care of this last yr. Time to make a trade for a vet! Side note, we lack depth in several places, especially LB since none of the names we have are decent outside Ebukam & barron.

 

[Retroram52]

Another bright spot on a basic practice game was the young RBs John Kelly and a return of Justin Davis impressed a few folks. Take a look/see.

[Retroram52]

And this guy is working himself out of a roster spot with continued dropped passes and now more injuries.
