AmpLified Gameballs and Lameballs vs SEA

I like this coaching staff. I agree, Spags only big flaw is his conservative offensive approach. He absolutely NEEDS to give free reign to Shurmur next year because I will be PISSED if he gets fired.

Wouldn’t it be neat to transition him to safety and get a true #1?

no

I know Jackson was happy as a pig in shee-it when we signed Karney but does having a fullback really have it’s advantages for him? It seems like when he gets the ball, he spends more time trying to navigate his way through the offensive line before he gets hit by the defense. It seems like having Karney in front of him only muddles things worse. I don’t know, is it just me?

Does anyone know the Rams record when we wear all white uniforms? I saw that during pregame and got an uneasy feeling. Whats wrong with the Blue or Gold.

The coaches were very conservative this year, and did an awful job of managing a second-half lead, but they definitely got the most out of their players talent-wise. Our coaching staff is still relatively inexperienced. I’m confident going forward that Spags has learned from his mistakes this year, as has Pat Shurmur.

Jason Smith was an absolute beast in the run-blocking department this year. He’s the opposite of Saffold, who struggles in run blocking but is a great pass blocker. I’m really glad to have these two guys anchoring the offensive line. Brown disappointed a little this year, but a lot of the interior issues on the line came from the guards, mainly Goldberg. Bell is a good guard, the only real need on the line is a guy to replace Goldberg.

Also, his name is Mike Karney. The coaches don’t seem to high on him, although Steven Jackson says that Karney is a fine player. I wish the coaches would listen to Steven. And I wish Shurmur would stop running the ball with Karney. Fullbacks were never meant to take handoffs. It never, ever works.

Amendola is fine. One rough game at the end of the year doesn’t change anything. He’s a good returner on punts and kickoffs, and he’s a really good slot receiver. The only reason he’s getting double-teamed is because he was made the primary target after unfortunate injuries to our top two receivers.

Also, your analysis of Atogwe is very incorrect. Just because he’s not forcing turnovers doesn’t mean he isn’t producing. His coverage this year was excellent, and he returned to his ball-hawking ways of the past with 5 turnovers and 9 passes defended.

Bartell is a really good player. His coverage this year was incredible. There’s a reason nobody is throwing his direction.

Craig Dahl has some shortcomings in coverage, but he looked a lot better toward the end of the year.

Overall, the only positions of need are for both OLB spots, OG, and WR. We also need a new DE and DT for the future because Robbins and Hall won’t be around forever.

John Karney FB: Is there a definition for “less than worthless” in the dictionary? There isn’t? Well now there is: John Karney. You and Steven can still be best friends. Not teammates.

Even though he only had 11 rushes, Karney being back helped Steven rush for more yards… What you expect a fullback to rack up stats or something?

ALSO, it’s MIKE!

I’m still so pissed at the coaches I cant really tear up the players yet. I wish I could laugh off your evaluations but unfortunately you are not totally wrong. You could tell the difference in our D once Diggs got hurt. I would like him back next year as a rotational player. If we knew how to run the ball maybe Karney could do his job rather than running into the backs of his own lineman cuz they can’t get a push. And Gibson just needs a true #1 WR to become a solid #2 or #3 option. I hope I’m wrong but Avery is done and Clayton and DX are big question marks. How about running Amendola on any pother pattern other than a crossing or option over the middle. Lets keep building those lines cuz it looked ugly in the trenches. How come every other team uses the wildcat and we havn’t tried it once, ever. And how about using a sixth olineman in run situations. Give Belichick this years Rams roster and we go 11-5 easy.

fantastic assesment.

we definitely need to start calling more attacking plays, instead of being so fucking conservative all the time. but i do love Spags, regardless, he has done a tremendous amount in the time hes been given so far, but i sure hope shurmur grows some stugots and calls the offense better next year. maybe with more weapons he will
