Preseason Game #2: Rams v.s GreenBay

[Vitamike]

Had we not been backed up, we might of seen Sammy run the 2 minute drill too bad....

The 15 yard penalty was on 3rd & 1. It was a good call.

man all u have to do is put it near stedman and he would catch it but he throws it out of bounds

What a crappy half. Dominated by missed tackles and penalties.

 

[fastforward]

We all knew what the Packers would try to do and we still couldn't stop it!

We stopped them there, once they were already in FG range.

1st half thoughts: Anyone expecting the Rams to have an explosive offense that will score 35+ points week after week had a reality check. Our receivers have potential but they're inconsistent and our running game can't pick up the slack. The Packers moved the ball on us fairly comfortably. Our LBs & Ss are adequate but not top notch. We're a decent team but we're not improved from last season - at least at this early stage.

Finally Pead is lowering his head and being physical. Someone has had a word with him at half-time.

 

[Skitts24]

"sigh" whos to blame for all of these deflections

 

[shopson67]

I still wonder how much of the offense they're actually showing. Richardson seems to have the starting RB spot wrapped up.

Edit: first team offense, that is

 

[Skitts24]

just like pat white i want vince young to be successful

 

[Skitts24]

atleast they are not scoring touchdowns

 

[shopson67]

I think VY's ship has sailed, unfortunately. He only has a shot at a job because Harrell is awful.

I would expect GB to draft a QB next year, or snag one off the waiver wire once the cut-downs start.

 

[shopson67]

Quick - nice

 

[fastforward]

Go Mike McNeil!

 

[Skitts24]

the red made clemens blind

 

[fastforward]

The Rams back-up OL is struggling with the exception of Williams at RT. Maybe Washington too.

Did anyone get a chance to read the quote I put up from the NFC blog? I'm not worried, we are obviously lacking depth but I think our vanilla defense against their no huddle allowed the Pack to move the ball. Once we start putting together a specific game plan and mixing it up, our defense will shore up a lot more. We still need some work on our base offensive sets but that's not what we are going to be running for the most part. Expect this offense to click once the season starts, it's all about using the weapons to keep the defense off balance and we wont show that in the preseason period.

God help us if Bradford goes down.

 

[Skitts24]

really need to try and get it to stedman more he has some of the best hands on the team
