Making it tough for QB's to do anything
and it must be frustrating fighting for a job, and running for your life
Our D looks ok...
…didn’t like Larry Johnson breaking through a few times. Also, Bowe got past us…

So few rams fans watching

Nicely executed play
Toss to gado

Effective drive
With some second team skill positions

What happened?

by Ryan Van Bibber on Sep 3, 2009 7:26 PM CDT via mobile reply actions
McMichael has to block better...
…as do our runningbacks. Gado at least tossed himself at him, but he’s got to do better than that. I think both sacks have been on our RBs…
by LARamsFan29 on Sep 3, 2009 7:29 PM CDT via mobile reply actions
...
That run D is suspect, but it is David Roach trying to tackle Larry Johnson…
by LARamsFan29 on Sep 3, 2009 7:33 PM CDT via mobile reply actions
Second teamers looked rough on the first part of that Chiefs drive
but got it together after the penalties
nice play by Fletcher on the first play after the penalties.
held them to a FG!
much improved by the second teamers on that drive
Turf Show Times
At least...
…they held…
Nice little tug by Wade. :D

Sum it up for me
I’ve been watching North Texas v. Ball St.; I’ll catch the Rams game tomorrow.
Who’s looking good? Who’s not? Fill me in.
Your uncle molests collies.
first Q
first team: vanilla playbook, so-so
first team D: did alright
second team let the Chiefs starters get a big play, then KC f’d themselves with penalties and the second team held them inside the 20

Not looking good for Berlin...
…Null can come in and take this…
by LARamsFan29 on Sep 3, 2009 7:46 PM CDT via mobile reply actions
Tim Carter...
…shouldve played safety with those hands…
by LARamsFan29 on Sep 3, 2009 7:47 PM CDT via mobile reply actions
A Hollis Thomas sighting!!!
Yay!!!
by LARamsFan29 on Sep 3, 2009 7:50 PM CDT via mobile reply actions
I forgot
how stripped down the 4th preseason games are, all the talent is out 6 minutes into the first quarter
it is
they still have their starters and ours were gone by 1/2 way through the first, its actually kinfd of sad for the chiefs
Well, our pass rush has looked good...
…can’t say the same for the run stopping. Was that Carriker that missed the tackle on the long run? I hope this doesn’t cause Spags to cut him…
by LARamsFan29 on Sep 3, 2009 8:01 PM CDT via mobile reply actions
Fletcher matches up well against Bowe though
I would think his style fits in certain situations and King others, in terms of 3rd CBs.

An update because I know you're all so very interested
UNT over Ball St. 10-0 at the half
Your uncle molests collies.
Jason Smith...
…looks comfy. I like.

tv
I am in St. Louis area and direct tv – Fox is not playing the game for me… anyone else have this problem
Dammit Stanley...
…who is our 4th wideout? I like Curry.
by LARamsFan29 on Sep 3, 2009 8:11 PM CDT via mobile reply actions
i think we have some solid guys on the second team OL
they’re blocking well…against the KC second teamers, but still
Turf Show Times
Adeyanju...
…seems like he’s gonna be a great rotation guy. And apparently we’ve been dominated by the Chiefs. Funny, I don’t recall our star runningback playing into the 2nd quarter like theirs did…
by LARamsFan29 on Sep 3, 2009 8:25 PM CDT via mobile reply actions
I know it's early and I know it's Ball St.
but Riley Dodge (QB, UNT) officially made my freshman NFL prospect list tonight.
Your uncle molests collies.
that is early
BallState QB factory!

Yeah, Nate Davis was solid
but this kid they have in tonight isn’t getting much to work with.

by 3k on Sep 3, 2009 8:27 PM CDT up reply actions
Yeah, it's being Tivo'ed this morning
at like 3AM. But there’s regular season college football and preseason NFL football. As the draft guru for TST, I have to set my priorities accordingly, no?

Ha Ha I understand 3k... NASCAR and Football coincide
and I feel overwhlelmed myself, especially if Kasey makes the chase this year
that was a pretty good read by the defender
Turf Show Times

Berlin eyed the left side the whole time
… never looked off… a good play by the defender, but Berlin made it easy
yeah jsut saw the replay
bad play…
Turf Show Times
by Ryan Van Bibber on Sep 3, 2009 8:29 PM CDT up reply actions
the crummy thing is
they’ll get 3 pts off that turnover
Turf Show Times
by Ryan Van Bibber on Sep 3, 2009 8:29 PM CDT up reply actions
then again the defense
didn’t let them punch it in from red zone

Ah You...
…has a nice jump off the ball. Gotta wrap up though…

Where's Avery
I’m not watching and NFL.com says he didn’t catch a ball the first half. Was he playing?

I'll join you shostag...
…I know it’s preseason, but they look miles ahead of last year…:)

Thigpen
More completions to the Rams than to the Chiefs
Did I just hear
That BERLIN was sacked? I am watching on a really grainy online feed… is null out?
do we know why Null isn't playing?
has Berlin locked this job up?
Our CB unit...
1. Bartell
2. Wade
3. Fletcher
4. King
5. Butler
Thoughts?
by LARamsFan29 on Sep 3, 2009 9:34 PM CDT via mobile reply actions
I would say
3tie for Fletch & King based on matchups
Your uncle molests collies.

Hmmm..
Delivery, Crunch, Sack of the game. Its all chiefs plays! Give the Rams some respect!
Rams fan since '91
ooohhh
that screen play almost went for a TD
Darell Scott...
…has been impressive. Nice little swim move and a big hit on the QB. I’m pretty sure he wrapped up a guy for a loss earlier…props. Great depth guy, maybe a starter someday.
by LARamsFan29 on Sep 3, 2009 9:37 PM CDT via mobile reply actions
Has anyone looked at the Cardinals game?
they are down 16-0! wow they seem to be getting off to slow starts
is oogboogha
playing his way off the team?
Has anyone stood out tonight?
Justin King maybe?
No one has really surprised me
I think Null is going to the practice squad
It seems that Gado
already was pretty set at #2
Did Butler make some nice plays before I started watching at the half?
by thehalobender on Sep 3, 2009 9:57 PM CDT up reply actions
Rams stop chiefs on 4th
under 2 minutes… 3-1!
My waterworks are rolling!...
…we finished 3-1 in a season. That’s 75% wins. Let me be. :D
Just preseason, but encouraging. Anyone want to take a guess at who secured their job that didn’t look so sure before the game? Personally, I’m wondering how the 3rd runningback situation is going down. I mean, Gado has risen from nowhere and is the undisputed #2, but neither Pittman, Darby, nor Obanayya (?) have shown anything.Think Spags will go with the rook?
Don't celebrate yet...
Lions went 4-0 in preseason last year!
