Our front 7 seems to always line up the same way with little change up. Offenses feel safe with our front 7 the way we line up.

Why not employ an amoeba type defense like Belichick used to do and Brian Flores the DC from Minny currently employs. The concept is all 7 line up on the D line and you ...

Been giving this some thought. Most teams now right a very high percentage of zone defense. The Rams play zone almost 90% of the time.

The reason is mainly because of the rules changes DB’s can’t even touch receivers anymore. But, I often see receivers run right at the DB’s and intentionally bounce ...

The Rams just haven’t been consistent with playing four quarters, and they’ve certainly not been consistent in all three phases. Coaches’ fault? Players’ fault? A combination? Hopefully that will be different tonight. Looking back, I think that the Rams truly dominated in just a few games ...

It's actually a low stress game for me. It's been a long time since I can say that. Mcvay hiring his buddies and not holding them accountable, has already cost the Rams the 1st seed. I would like to at least get the 5th seed, but it's not as big as a impact as getting a 1st seed or winning the ...

Rams win tonight and next week, then off to warm Tampa Bay to play an 8-9 team while on the way to the SuoerBowl.

so anyone watching think we don't need OL help now??? what a joke

Media made this defense sound better than it really iwas.We can talk about STs being a major problem but this defense when needed to make crucial stops in games they lost, once again came up small. To me the D line is overrated and its lack of pressure getting to the QB is exposing an below average ...

It’s all about effort and I constantly see guys on defense taking plays off. No accountability whatsoever.

The last drive tonight.
From me I would have two deep safeties and an eight man front then either bring the house or drop into coverage… and mix things up.
This defense never confuses anyone.

Look it hasn't been good the last 3 weeks, neither was it in November of 2021 when we lost all that month before going onto win the superbowl.

Honestly I think team is is better than 2021. We are getting Adam's, Lake, Dotson and Jackson all back. We are essentially very healthy. We have seen all ...

I am hoping someone in the NFCW picks up Chase Blackburn...

Let's take a look at this kid during the Cards game. Get him on the field and get a sense of what he's got

Just like to take a moment and send best wishes out to all our Brothers and Sisters of Rams Nation and to our Rams for a prosperous New Year!
Cheers and a Happy New Year to all and Lets GO You Rams!

If the Rams are worth a shit, it should not matter who we play. Yes, the # 1 seed would have kept us at or near home base; now we need all hands on deck.

Yes, Discipline and Urgency must be the new mantra for our team. Let's make the Arizona game a nice tune-up for Whomever we are going to ...

The Rams won 45-17, and that game, for me, may have offered their most enjoyable offensive performance of the season. The flow was incredible, and so many players were involved. Things just moved beautifully. It was also the game that McVay almost missed due to illness. LaFleur had more ...

Too late in the season for a Defensive schematic adjustment; as you noted, CBs must make tackles. DL must not take any plays off.

We need to put their QB on the turf.

Our Offense must score in the Red Zone; enter Adams.


This^ in regards to there isn’t going to be all of a sudden this new ...

Have none of us learned? ... We got beat by the Falcons, and the Cardinals made it a hell of a game for 3 qtrs..

Lets just beat Carolina first...

Obviously the Rams need to draft a corner, hopefully in the first round. Others have rightly suggested that they should sign a free agent to bolster the secondary. I found this list. I kinda like Newsome. Who do you want? Anyone here worth taking?

I'm happy

Dotson should be back next week.

Nothing wrong with winning ugly in the playoffs. What you did one week doesn't mean you will struggle the next week.

They overcame f-ups that have killed them this year. Build on it!

Yeah, it looks like the DB's not only have problems in coverage, but they look very soft with tackling. They don't have any hitters or tough guys in the back of the defense.

Toughest QB in the game. He’s fine. He wants this SB almost as much as me, so he’ll make it happen

Look, I’m no Niners fan, but it’s crazy how so many are discounting the Niners.

I wish them nothing but death, destruction and eternal pain… but what they have accomplished this season, with a ton of injuries…just can’t be discount it. They literally went into Phly today and won (something we ...

Watching Get Up on ESPN. All I hear is the Bears and the SF upset of the Eagles with some Josh Allen sprinkled in. Ignore the Rams and let them do it on the field.

One, it's fine to be under the radar. Two, we didn't give them much to talk about. We did not honestly look like a Super Bowl contender on Saturday. Luckily, every week is a new story and we know we can go toe to toe with anyone.

In order to be more successful on 4th and short, we need a big imposing slobber-knocking Stevan Jackson-type RB. Our diminutive little elves are not built for the necessary line of scrimmage abuse that awaits these tight scenarios.

Why not invest in a bruiser in the 3rd round?

I agree. I don ...

I heard this stat today...Rams had 64 defense plays on Saturday. Only 12 plays were not zone defense. Of those 12 plays...3 were rushing 6-7 men. So out of 64 plays we only played man basically 9 times . That is alarming. No wonder we keep giving up 4-5 yard passes every play.

I know we don't ...

As we battle out as a final 8 squad this year it is clear what we need to complete this Rams team to the pre eminent NFL team. I see next year as a chance to make the moves to do so. MS returns as QB and even with a drop off from this MVP year, he will be an upper echelon QB. Draft / FA moves along ...

Much is being made in the media about the Rams, McVay's and Stafford's records in cold weather games. I saw a great opinion on another thread. Most of the players on the Bears team have never played a meaningful game after the regular season from mid-January on. With the wind chill predicted in the ...

I still say that Hall should be sitting as long as Dotson is. Accidental is one thing, DELIBERATE DIRTY actions that put a player on the sidelines, should carry a penalty equal to that by having the perpetrator sit as long as his victim.

I say dirty, because everyone at some point does something ...
