Random Ramsdom Sept. 21, 2009

by Eric Nagel on Sep 21, 2009 1:19 AM CDT in St. Louis Rams news

Another week, another Rams loss. Jim Thomas has a recap of the game. If you missed it, it can pretty much be summed up by saying, "Donnie Avery needs stickum."

Mike Sando says that we are making progress. I'd say so. Steven Jackson still isn't being used enough, but our offense definitely had a nice spark- even if it was sporadic. Of course we are still waiting for some pressure..paging Chris Long.

Retrospectively, it's somewhat amusing to read the Hog's Haven questionnaire with the Field Gulls (Seattle's website).

I expect Avery to run double-moves and other deep patterns. He is a homerun threat.

Laurent Robinson is a low-level possession receiver that couldn't make the roster of most teams.

With that, one final question. Which QB do you think had a more impressive day?

Poll

Who was more impressive?

Kurt Warner. 24/26. Want to come back Kurt?

Drew Brees. Would you be surprised if he ended week three with 15 touchdowns?

75 votes

Marc Bulger. He has a touchdown with this offense. That's an amazing feat in itself.

kurt = old. brees = good for him. bulger = well it could’ve been worse….and hell, I’m surprised the secondary wasn’t the ones to score the TD, def not the offense.

Kurt

old? at least he’s getting the job done. the “young” rams are running are running around like idiots.

I saw that on "Hogs Haven"...

and I’m still trying to figure out why you would ask a blogger from another team (Seattle) to give you perspective on the team you’re getting ready to play (Rams) instead of talking to somebody who obviously follows St. Louis every day???

Also, LMAO at their 30 point predictions...

…if Donnie hadn’t fumbled, we’d be laughing even harder at them for beating them at home in back to back seasons. They couldn’t even score a TD. Great job defense! I know they gave up yardage/lacked consistent pressure, but they were tough SOBs in the Red Zone.

spags

the defense we witnessed sunday is the same d- spags had in ny. His bend but don’t break philosophy is in place and the rams are executing. the only thing missing is pressure by the d line. week #2 that the rams have shot themselves in the foot. this game was winnable. The packers lost to the bengals at home and couldnt stop cedric benson from running. i like the home matchup for us against the pack. if benson could run for 100+ yards then jackson should have a field day.

Agreed...

…S-Jax missed some holes, so his numbers might have been really ridiculous had he found them. Hopefully he does so against Green Bay. If he does 125 or better, I’m pretty sure we win. :)

He did miss a few cut back opportunites

but we can’ get that critical. He was playing against a stacked box all day and came away with a +100 yd effort, and a decent long run.

The point is we have the stud we need in the backfield and aside from his occasional “dance at the line” when I feel he should pull a Brandon Jacobs and out his head down and punish people, he will be exactly what we need once we get some receivers.
