Back from the West Coast, hello again everybody.
Sure, although it will help to get Saffold back in there. I think the Rams also need to emphasize getting the ball out quickly.
No. But they obviously know where they plan to be, and it's not here.
Well, I'm as curious as the next guy to see. If the team starts quickly and is winning games, I think attendance will be fine. If it's a product similar to what we've seen recently, I think attendance will be down. Holding a two-day pep rally in the Los Angeles area doesn't help things. Either this organization is incredibly tone deaf when it comes to its fans, or it doesn't care.
Not yet. And we don't get Fisher until after practice tonight. (Or at about 7:30 p.m.). But I think it will be the usual for a second preseason game. Into the second quarter.
That's a tough one. I'm not so sure that if the Rams leave there will be any alternative. At least an immediate alternative. So I guess for these purposes I'll stick to 44-56.
They have talked a lot about getting off to a quicker start this year _ not just on defense, but the team as a whole. We'll see.
Yeah, you noticed those signs in Oxnard, too?
Fisher is pretty squirrelly about injury info.
He didn't practice in Oxnard. Unless he's out there today, he probably doesn't play Sunday. That's all I can say at this point.
Well, I can't give you a number. But the Rams have to avoid predictably passing situations as much as possible. They are stressing getting the ball out quickly. They need to run the ball effectively. All of that helps. Foles isn't a statue back there, but he's not what you'd call a scrambler either.
I would expect Barrett Jones to start this Sunday in Nashville. Usually the Rams keep 8 or 9 O-linemen.
Well, it would help a lot. But behind that, they need to have as much certainty as possible in terms of the land acquisition and financing for the stadium.
That's not the plan at this point.
Tackling is always spotty _ really around the league _ at this time of year.
Excellent question. It's tough to move the ball against those guys period.
Lots of rumors. There's a different one every couple of hours.
I don't see the Raiders becoming more of a possibility. As for Chargers and Rams, Spanos and Kroenke aren't exactly bros.
As I wrote, it look very sloppy. Too many penalties. Some missed tackles. Not much on offense. THey have a lot to work on.
Do you consider a coaching staff of 27 a lot? :)
Well, thank goodness they're not counting indiscretions from the brawl in Oxnard.
