Rams @ Bengals, 8/27/09, preseason week 3: Open Thread

St. Louis Rams at Cincinnati Bengals, Aug 27, 2009 6:30 PM CDT

St. Louis Rams @ Cincinnati Bengals
Preseason, week 3
Broadcast: KTVI, St. Louis; maybe somewhere else too.

Lots to see tonight as the Rams try to shake off a tough loss to the Falcons last week, a loss which featured scary reminders of last year's run defense.  We didn't run quite as much on the preview side of things this week. I intentionally skipped the three questions because those things should be fairly obvious. Three things the Rams need to do this week:

Bulger is out. Little, Carriker and Avery are not expected to play tonight. Darby's probably out. Barron and Bell are to be determined. Notably absent for the Bengals tonight is QB Carson Palmer.

Here's 3k's game preview.

For Cincy's view, head over to Cincy Jungle.

As always, we'll be in the comments and on Twitter, twitter.com/TurfShowTimes.

Me too

I’m looking, but getting pessimistic. And a punt return for a TD is not how we wanted to start this one out…

Rams definately mixing things up on both sides of the ball… feeling a bit better

So What To Think Of Gado

Looked great week 1, not good last week, so far this week, a superstar again. Hmmmm

Yes look like a totally different team

Mixing it up, agressive defense, great blocking and play calling

You have to wonder why they went so plain last week

and then installed all these wrinkles this week

before draft when some projected him late in first round i was hoping he would fall enough for rams to snag him with our second pick. i believe he will be very good.

If there was any doubt Boller being the #2

it should be erased. Sorry Null-heads

by 3k on Aug 27, 2009 7:43 PM CDT reply actions  

Speaking of Boller

His timing with Robinson is much crisper than it is with Burton

by 3k on Aug 27, 2009 7:44 PM CDT up reply actions  

Yea he looks good tonight

.. Null will be a great QB in the future though

i'm back

what happened on Leonard’s TD?

Turf Show Times

by Ryan Van Bibber on Aug 27, 2009 7:53 PM CDT reply actions  

Good drive

They pounded. Some miscues at the D-line, but we might sneak off another scoring drive before the halftime whistle

if had to be anyone to score a TD...

watch the message boards tomorrow

Turf Show Times

Yes very much agreed

and wait until Avery comes back… I think we’ll have some spark on offense

by VTramsFan on Aug 27, 2009 7:54 PM CDT up reply actions  

Any doubt who #2 RB Is?

Everyone agree Gado may have sealed the deal?

by VTramsFan on Aug 27, 2009 7:53 PM CDT reply actions  

Gorgious run by Boller

Something fired him up this week

by VTramsFan on Aug 27, 2009 7:55 PM CDT reply actions  

If You Are Spags

you gotta be pretty happy with the first half and what the Rams have shown. Defense looks sharp (one scoring drive and penalties did kill us) and the offense (Boller particularly) has shown signs of life.

All this without Bulger or Avery…

by VTramsFan on Aug 27, 2009 7:59 PM CDT reply actions  

First half MVPs?

I give Butler and Laurinaitis a nod on that side, Boller and the o-line on the other side.

Did I see Barron playing? Barron and Goldberg starting?

MIssed FG by Brown!?!?!?

Sorry guys, it’s probably because I took him in the fantasy draft. Sorry.

Rams looking good tonight

big change form last weeks game this is nice to see ,i like Butlers game and Laurinaitis always around the ball were not giving up the run like last week this is what i want to see

Are there any soccer fans in the game thread?

  I had to go ahead and knockout watching the Champions League draw; I’ll go through the entire Rams game either tomorrow or Saturday, but there’s good soccer on Saturday. Just wanted to pimp SBN’s new soccer site focusing on US soccer, Daily Soccer Fix.
