Week 2
St. Louis Rams at Washington Redskins
FexEx Field; Landover, MD
TV: Fox; 12:00 p.m. CST
Weather: Sunny, Mid-70s, Calm wind
Well, here we are, the second week of the new era. The pressure may be on Washington to win (we're rebuilding remember), but the Rams face plenty of their own pressure to play better than they did last week. Washington's offense wasn't much better than ours, and if the defense tightens up a little and keeps pressing for the turnovers, it could be a good game. Of course, the Rams offense faces a tough hurdle in the Washington defense, vastly improved up front with the addition of Albert Haynesworth at DT. That doesn't mean they can abandon the run, the Giants ran well off the edges last week.
Here's the full preview from 3k (too bad you couldn't have stuck around to catch the game here today).
Surely the lessons of stopping the TE will sink in after last week? Here's what the Redskins will be looking to do with Cooley, and the Rams will have to stop.
Enough talk, let's play football.
GO RAMS!!

Great protection on that blitz.
Bulger actually had time to put a throw where he wanted to and didn’t make it happen.
OK...so they line up a TE (or a WR in a TE body) out wide.
Why not press coverage??
There’s no way Cooley can burn Bartell deep.

Can't we cover Cooley? For the love

If Portis didn't stumble
on that shovel pass, that was a TD
"The greatest accomplishment is not in never falling, but in rising again after you fall." - Vince Lombardi
So far
Defense: Can’t cover Cooley – Can’t stop the run – can’t pressure QB
Offense: Can’t run effectively inside – A big drop

Incognito whiffs block

Why aren't we audibling???
Box was stacked… calling an audible would at least force the defense to make a decision
"The greatest accomplishment is not in never falling, but in rising again after you fall." - Vince Lombardi
Our team looks
equally mentally unprepared this week.

there was confusion on that last play (before the SJ run)

Darby isn't working on returns
Hasn’t even got to the 20 yet
Incognito needs to go
Shurmur needs to go
Kick return is awful.
The need to move the wedge away from the center of the field.
Kick keeps going to the left corner and defenders are running around the blockers.
if Bulger dont drive down this time for a score before half time
i think Boller deserves a chance to play in this game

We have bigger problems than Bulger, but why not

That call is BS.
Is it a block in the back? Sure.
Would it have changed the result of the play if it wasn’t called? No.
Stupid NFL rules.
That was the best gamebreak ever

Good half, good half.
We’ll just pretend that the Redskins don’t have over 200 total yards already.
7-6 RAMS, that’s what counts!
But if we get a field goal then were up 10-6
and we could be up 17-6 before they get the ball
Incognito needs to go
Shurmur needs to go
There aren't plays in the playbook
to get them down the field in 30 seconds.
by Ghostrider520 on Sep 20, 2009 1:28 PM CDT up reply actions
Nope.
Quick strike offense.
No plays to take them down the field.

Spags probably feared a Bulger pick 6.

OK i'm back
Sucks I’m the cause for our sputtering offense

Dont you think it is kinda early to call for shurmurs head?
It is milk it may be spilled it may be delicious.
I was talking to VTramsfan, who's the cause for the Rams offensive problems
Incognito needs to go
Shurmur needs to go
yea thats been there for a week
it was in frustration of last weeks ugliness

It is milk it may be spilled it may be delicious.
A couple of halftime notes
1. RAMS are WINNING
2. I could be an NFL offensive coordinator. (I called the only touchdown play of the season before it happened)
3. Be more aggressive and make something happen at halftime.
4. Refs, unless you are absolutely positive that it is not a fumble, let the play happen, we could have had a touchdown from that.
Incognito needs to go
Shurmur needs to go
bulger is 10 of 15 for 57 yards that is unreal lol
this offensive calling is realy bad ,he has to go down field 20 yard passes this calling is realy bad
by james535 on Sep 20, 2009 1:35 PM CDT reply actions
rams need to spice it up a little, go downfield on a couple of passes, it wont hurt
also, continue to run the ball with jackson. Usually when he just gets the ball a lot he gets into a groove
sorry and a little pass rush would help
we have had 0, except for a couple of hurries but havent finished. COME ON LONG/LITTLE!
Dick" Vermeil had said we need to have a run average or 135 yards a game
to be a champion team and in the 3rd Q jackson has only 12 carrys
