The Rams

[Crimsoncrew]

So I hadn't really seen the Rams until this week. What happened to them? I figured they'd be a really tough team this season, leaning heavily on the D. But they were awful. Where was Brockers? What happened to Long in the run game? Is Finnegan just done? On offense, they lost their run game when they lost Jackson, and then the OL started coming apart, but man, they look awful right now.

they took 2 steps back. Atleast they have 2 Top 10 picks. They need a QB and a RB and another WR(big target one)

I had Rams as a sleeper team this season... it looked good after gm 1 but last night was shocking for me....

gm 1 they won, gm 2 they made a strong comeback vs ATL, gm 3 was a dump and last night.... idk...

maybe our committment to the run game threw them off? surprised there was no trickery from Fisher... it also could be the OC is just bad....

Losing Amendola and Jackson were huge.

Yeah, and it looks like Austin isn't quite ready and Cook is every bit as inconsistent as he was in Tennessee. It's the defense that baffles me more, though. I'm not shocked the offense has struggled, but I figured the D would be one of the better units out there. Must be the loss of Dahl.

Hey where's Bingo and his defense of Jenkins???? Boldin slapped him silly no? lol

Agreed. I thought they had a better defense.

-Steven Jackson got old. The guys that came into replace him suck. Pead has been in and out of the lineup and just might be a flat out bust. Richardson is a pure rotation guy.

-Quintin Mikell got old. Kaepernick had 2 or 3 plays were he avoided a blitzing Rams safety and thats what Mikell was good at last year. We might have the worst safety play in the league

-We are deep with pass rushing dlinemen and not run blocking dlinemen. Chris Long has also been fairly banged up all year but thats football.

-Scott Wells got old fast. Saffold is too injury prone to stay on the field. The oline went from solid like a rock in week 1 and 2 to being a complete liability in week 3 and 4.

-We haven't found a way to put Laurinaitis' head into Ogletree's body

-Bradford hasn't learned how to put arc on the ball yet and probably never will

-Cortland Finnegan took advantage of the replacement refs at the beginning of last season so his stats were better than they should have been. Without playing cheap, he isn't good. At all. Fisher of all people should have known this. He is terrible.

-The receivers are still young. They'll get better.
