Lookin' good. Nothing unexpected so far as the O lines-up for their second drive.

 

[Retroram52]

Henderson with the big gainer. That is just what we need-the run game today.

 

[Retroram52]

Nice play to Van Jefferson!

 

[Retroram52]

Rams running back Darrell Henderson already up to four carries for 36 yards and one touchdown catch against Texans.

 

[Retroram52]

Two pass, two incompletions. Run the damn ball!

 

[Retroram52]

4th and 1. Go for it. Run Henderson!!

 

[Retroram52]

Damn McVay, You have one yard to go and ya throw it? WTH!

 

[Retroram52]

First quarter done. Should be 14-0 if pass-happy boy would just run the ball when the scenario strongly dictates it we would at the very least got a first down.

 

[Retroram52]

Rams go for it on fourth-and-1 at the Texans three-yard line and Matthew Stafford's pass tips off the hands of Henderson. Should have just ran a sweep and score the TD.

 

[Retroram52]

There is Danny Amendola still plying is trade all these years later.

 

[Retroram52]

So far, E Jones is looking real good on D.

 

[Retroram52]

No Atwell anywhere to be found. This whole Atwell/Jackson thing is just turning weird by the day.

 

[Retroram52]

Nice pass play for 27 yards.

 

[Retroram52]

Darrell Henderson has rushed for 62 yards on six carries. McVay should keep going with this.

 

[Retroram52]

Michel is in. Running plays are starting to abound.

 

[Retroram52]

FIRST DOWN!!

 

[Retroram52]

Why does McVay insist on throwing the football nine yards out?

 

[Retroram52]

Same damn result. Two pass plays, two incompletions, no TDs both times McVay has done this today.

 

[Retroram52]

The big pass play was Stafford to Woods for 28 yards who was wide open in the middle of the field.

 

[Retroram52]

So instead of it being 21-0, we settle for the FG for a 10-0 score in the second quarter.
