San Francisco 49ers at St. Louis Rams, week 16 game thread

San Francisco 49ers at St. Louis Rams, Dec 21, 2008 12:00 PM CST


St. Louis Rams (2-12) WEEK 16 San Francisco 49ers (5-9)
Photobucket VS. Photobucket
Date: Dec. 21, 2008 Location: St. Louis, MO
Time: 1 p.m. ET
Stadium: Ed Jones Dome
TV: FOX Favorite: San Fran, +5
Weather:
Only the welcome's frigid in the Dome. SBN Cardinals: Niners Nation

I feel like I'm running out of things to say...the Rams games this season are starting to run together, and watching them at this point is more an exercise in judging the set up for 2009. 

There are still a couple of plots for these last two games to pay attention to. First, Jim Haslett's future with the Rams. Win 'em or lose 'em, Haslett's nothing more than just another candidate at this point. Though there's nothing to make us believe it's possible, if the Rams do pull it together for these last two games, it might have some positive impact on Haslett's future. One more thought on that. The players seem to favor Haslett and he's got a rep as a "player's coach," is that a good thing for this bunch of lollygaggers? I think they need someone who draws a firm, no, immovable line for player accountability. 

The second major plot threading through the Rams already unraveled season, which name players stay or go. With names like Holt, Pace, and Little potentially on the chopping block, these games will have some impact on their future, even if it means increasing their trade value. For example, suppose Torry Holt plays like the Torry Holt of old, could that make it easier to trade him for a draft pick? Maybe. He'd be a great second or third receiver for a competitive team at this stage of his career. 

Finally, though this is a minor plot relative to the others, Steven Jackson's quest for 1,000 yards. It's unlikely he makes it, but if he does at least it would quiet some of the "overrated" talk, because getting 1,000 yards rushing through 12 games behind this sad sack bunch of blockers in the middle of this sputtering offense would be sort of impressive. 

That's it.

Go Rams!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

To all at Turf Show Times. I’m heading out today back into the 20th Century of no internet or cell phone coverage (my parents house) for the better part of a week and a half so I’ll be relegated to getting all of my Rams info from the P-D. But I do have 3 days of the Centralia Holiday Tournament to look forward to, so there is a silver lining.

I hope everyone here has a happy and safe Holiday Season. Looking forward to catching back up on everything after the New Year.

Peace and Love. Peace and Love.

Tackle Box.

The boys are all here for ya...we'll back you up...we'll be there...cause, Billy, we don't stink right now. We're the best team in baseball right now...right this minute...because of you. You're the reason. We're not gonna screw that up, we're gonna be awesome for you right now. Just throw.

observations

- Keenan Burton’s not doing well running routes this season
- Alex Barron will not be a Ram next year
- If Richie Incognito is the second best OL we’ve got, no wonder the line sucks. Or is he just overrated or both?

What’s up with Barron? Is he a “healthy scratch” today? I hadn’t heard anything about any injury of his until your announcement that he was on the sidelines today.

No, he’s not. He looks like his timing is off with Bulger. It’s something they’ll have to work on seriously going into next year because his role will increase substantially unless we sign a FA WR.

Alex Barron will not be a Ram next year

Let’s hope not.

If Richie Incognito is the second best OL we’ve got, no wonder the line sucks. Or is he just overrated or both?

I honestly don’t think he’s overrated. He’s a good blocker, it’s just that he’s also a blockhead.

Also, what is with Donnie Avery’s hands? He has to catch every ball in his gut. Worrisome.

I didn't see the game last night...

But I’m impressed by guys who play hard when they’re hurt. With Steven Jackson, you can tell when he’s hurt because he plays hurt. And I don’t mean that in the good way. He drops at the first contact, doesn’t make adventurous cuts, distracts himself from catchable balls, etc. It’s frustrating. And I can understand why he gets the “sissy” tag from some fans.

seriously, though, his inability to take the ball and run out the clock was the difference last week … this week he’s been money in that department, even if he did most of his statistical damage in the first half.

$1 says that the losing quarterback of the CIN/CLE game never sees another year on a pro roster.

Ryan Fitzpatrick: 5-9 for 55 yards (and a TD!)
Ken Dorsey: 10-17 for 68 yards and 3 INTs

Fitz is an intelligent, good guy. Just not talented. Ken Dorsey has been junk since he went to Miami.

Chris Long has had another nice game

Yeoman’s work. Maybe when he moves to LDE, the stats will start piling up. He’s playing against RT’s every game; not exactly a pass-rusher’s dream.

are they running any 3-man defensive fronts today? I haven’t heard then mention it on the radio, but Pisa seems to be getting good penetration, like a typical edge-rushing linebacker.

he is not a pass defender.

He’s got instincts that draw him to the turnover, like the strip in the first half, but when the ball is in the air and he’s covering a man, he consistently makes poor choices or poor plays.

Steven Jackson can’t help much at this point — the pressure is on Bulger and the receivers to make plays. If we execute just one two-minute drill, this is the time to do it.

network tv comedy

I flipped to Fox, to see that they were actually televising the last minute of the Rams game. Then I see Bulger get sacked, second down coming up, and …

Fox goes to a “Game Break.” No show.
