What I have never been able to figure out about the McShitferBrains' Offense and whoever is calling the plays is why they throw downfield on short yardage plays like 3rd and 1 or 4th and 1 yet they run the ball on long yardage plays like 2nd and 12??

I suppose there is some truth to trying to confuse your opponent that can be the case once and awhile but in the last two years, they been doing stupid shit on both Offense and Defense that makes little sense to the flow of the Game! Mind-Boggling!

If McShitferBrains would learn the Jumbo Offense, get a big-ass FB and line-up two and three TE sets, I guarantee you that 3rd and 1 and 4th and 1 would be a much higher success percentage than it presently is especially in the RedZone!!

And Adams.

Just get the ball in Nacua's and Adams' hands and let them make plays with their feet.

He did for the most part but Adams had a big drop in the endzone. Not many Rams had a good game besides Puka and the rbs

Not talking about the last game. Talking about the game plan for the upcoming game(s).

Rams really need to overlook Higbee and Parkinson and get Ferguson involved in the offense. He is the most talented TE on the roster

Someone will have to explain to me how you draft a player in the 2nd round and the coach doesn’t even bother to make him available on game day.

How is he supposed to develop and get real game experience?

And what does that say about the coach and GM that wasted a 2nd round pick on a guy that doesn’t even suit up?

 

[Retroram52]

Says the same about a HC and GM that wasted a Second Round pick on a little used, undersized WR and by-passing the league's best Center for the last 5 years!! Thus, the terms The ShitferBrains Twins AND McShitferBrains!!

 

[Retroram52]

Here is another player that is on the bench and is not being used. This is just unbelievable. Ya have this kind of talent sitting around getting paid to do nothing but sit. The ShitferBrains Twins strike again!

It doesn't sound like the Rams plan to use rookie RB Jarquez Hunter anytime soon

The Los Angeles Rams have a strong one-two punch with Kyren Williams and Blake Corum at running back, but Sean McVay believes in Jarquez Hunter too.

And the Rams O-line is rated 31st outta of 32 NFL teams on a number of categories by PFF. We are THAT bad!!

He must not be practicing well. Is it wrong for the coach to make a player earn his spot on the 53? Higbee and Allen deserve to be there, and they must think Parkinson does too (he would probably be gone if not for his contract IMO).

The backup guards are that bad that they are skewing everything, mostly in pass-blocking I would assume?

Did you expect him to play more, barring injury? If Kyren and Corum are playing well, when would the 3rd stringer get snaps? Special teams?

 

[Jermaine133]

so if the guards are that bad then the FO did a poor job of filling these spots for depth. You mean to tell me Jackson, Avila, Shelton, Dotson, Havenstien are all we got? WE need more than 6 guys.

I think for a 2nd round pick, you better make sure the guy can play or you are wasting a pick on said player.

If he isn’t smart enough to learn the plays and get on the field, that is on the FO for taking him.

Every TE taken after him has seen playing time.

Again, this isn’t some 5th-7th round developmental player. This is your first pick over all ( 2nd rounder ). This is a player that should be contributing right away.

Otherwise, that pick should’ve been spent on the OL seeing as how the Rams need quality depth.

Instead, it’s a developmental TE that can’t even suit up for the game when they already had 3 other freaking TE’s on the roster.

It’s just as bone-headed of a pick as Atwell has proven to be when they should’ve drafted Creed.

You're calling him a bust after 4 games lol. At least let him get on the field first. He hasn't overtaken Parkinson on the 53 yet because Parkinson is probably their only 2 way TE. Higbee is healthy thus far and Allen has played well.

Is Loveland a bust? He had been active before getting nicked up and still wasn't producing. TEs aren't always day 1 contributors.

you right they aren't day 1 producers but if you are taking a guy that high, then he needs to be able to contribute right away. Otherwise find another position player that has the ability to see the field early. That is what this is mainly about, you want to develop your rooks but also get them on the field if you invested high round picks for them.

I didn’t call him a bust.

I said it was a wasted pick if they aren’t going to use him because they already had 3 TE’s on the roster ( which they knew going into the draft ), and that pick could’ve been used on an OL which the Rams desperately need right now.

I’m saying there was absolutely no reason to draft a TE in the 2nd if they weren’t going to use him this year.

Could’ve addressed the position this coming draft. The current Oregon Duck TE looks better than Ferguson anyway.

This is what happens when your roster gets strong. Rookies, no matter how early drafted, have a tough time cracking the lineup or even the 53. In that way, it's a good thing.

They're more likely to draft the Oregon QB than the TE.

 

[shopson67]

I'm sure they looked at options to move Parkinson, but they paid him too much.
