Plays That Mattered: Juqua Parker Fumble Return

PrintThere were many momentum changing plays for the St. Louis Rams on Sunday. In my opinion the biggest play in the game was the Juqua Parker fumble return for a TD. After that TD the Eagles held onto the lead for good, and more importantly the Rams were never able to fully regain the support of the home crowd. The air was taken out of the Dome on that play.
Let's break down what happened on the play. Here's a link for a video of it from NFL.com. First off there Sam Bradford just lost his footing. Whether this was just a freak accident or because an Eagle's defensive lineman Darryl Tapp was in his way is unknown to me. When Sam fell over, the aforementioned Tapp took the opportunity to hit the ball out of Sam's hands. It was a great effort play on his part. After the fumble Tapp also was smart enough to hold Sam's foot so that he couldn't recover the fumble. This allowed Parker to scoop up the ball and run it 56 yards back for a TD.
Now players will slip at times and it is understandable, but to have a TD scored on you because of it is very tough to swallow. This was the momentum turning point in the game. Before the fumble the Rams had momentum on their side. They did just give up a TD and the score was tied, but the team was looking good and playing well. After the fumble the team, especially the offense never could get into a groove. The Parker fumble return for a TD wasn't the reason the Rams lost but it was the starting point and for that it was the most important play in the game.

i agree birkdon branhead!
At least for me, that was the point my soul was extracted from my lifeless shell…it was all downhill from there! I’m trying to forget and just look foward to the rest of the season.

It seems as if the team is way too young and emotional to handle a few bad plays
kinda ridiculous for a professional sports team
Per fas et nefas - Latin translation="By Any Means Necessary"
Sam actually tripped over Jason Brown's foot
When Sam was dropping back his toe just barely caught Brown’s heal. Sam landed with one hand and the ball on the turf, when he pushed off the turf, to try and save the play, Tapp tapped the ball out of his hand and then grabbed Sam’s foot to keep him from recovering his fumble. I was screaming at the TV for a holding call on that one.

good eye Moy
didn’t see that he tripped on Brown’s foot

I saw that too moy..
Also, Tapp had already blown the play up. If you look closely, Williams was already heading wider than normal to the left to avoid Tapp so I doubt any handoff would have taken place anyway (with or without the “trip”).
Yeah Saffold didn't get over fast enough on that one.
But had Sam not tripped there would not have been the fumble and Sam may have been able to roll to the outside and try and make a play out of it.

its time sam steps to the plate
and produces with what little talent he has …marino did it for years
Come on Angus
Give the kid a break, he just got hammered by a super bowl contendar. He ain’t Tom Brady yet. He won rookie of the year with the same little talent.
i think he's great --but unfortunately will have no other choice
than to play below his capabilities and i’m sorry—-BUT OUR FRONT OFFICE BLEW IT BIG TIME…THIS OFF SEASON…THEY SUK AND MADE FOOLS OF US DEVOTED FANS…AND DON’T KID YOURSELF THEY JUST THROUGH A FEW BONES OUR WAY TO KEEP THE STADIUM HALF FULL THE MORE I THINK ABOUT IT —-WE ALL WERE SUCKERED NEVER ANY SERIOUS THOUGHT PUT IN TO THIS TEAM JUSTFOOLS GOLD AND WE ARE THE FOOLS
Lighten up Frances
My god it’s Only one game against a team with a freak playing QB.
Not saying our FO was brilliant but I seriously doubt there was any intent to sucker anyone in and honestley people can’t possibly feel like Kronke isn’t willing to spend the money- possibly we have a few draft bust taking up too much payroll but those things will be dealt with in time.
Let’s at least let them play more than one game before we go jumping off any bridges.
Obviously the offense can get better- it’d be hard for them to do anything else. The defense will be OK though we’ll have a hell of a time with pass coverage
But yes I think we all got caught believing our own repeat desires that this team would be a serious contender and frankly it is not. But then again we’re not the 1-15 version of the Rams either. We’ll win some games. Hopefully make a run at the West.
Thanks - I'm zoned in when I watch the games.

Reply fail - meant to reply to Brick Top - I guess I'm not in the zone right now.

SAD BUT TRUE STORY
just came back from giving the fiat a sip of fuel and i run in to an old packer friend of mine -great football fan great football mind --ask him if he saw the eagles game—-“qoute-i can’t understand you guys i thought the rams would be a serious contender this year…why won’t they spend money….don’t get it same every year….and this year so much receiving talent out their…..plaxico..rice…t.o. moss..occocinco. etc…..you guys are gonna be forever like the 80’s 90’s .lions always 8-8 at best on a good year”" and that was an exact quote..then he added …signing mediocre talent will get you results like the lions got for decades..put my head down got in the fiat and took off …no arguement from me -because he is right
No he ain't right
Cause we got Harry Fricking Potter to weave a magic web, or a force shield would be good. Hey maybe we could borrow that cloak of invisibility….now were talking.
Okay, jswirb I been baggin on you but just because I think you are what this site needs

NOW WE ARE ON THE SAME ..GOT YOUR POINT THE RAMS FO IS IN FAIRY TALE LAND ...GOOD POINT
……CAN’T ARGUE WITH A PACKER FAN…I KNOW OAk WE ARE BOTH SICK OVER IT BUT I DON’T THINK BETTER DAYS ARE AHEAD …THE FO IS RIGHT WHERE THEY WANT US TO BE ….THANX FOR THE COMFORT THOUGH….YOUR A GOOD GUY
The point I knew we were going to lose
The point I knew that we were going to lose was when sam bradford went out of the game after his 31 yd completion. That completion made me think that we might have a chance. Then when sam bradford went out I knew that the game was completely over.
I new we would lose when we scored on the first play
Just like in pre-season game. You score that easy you got bad JuJu and you’re doomed. I don’t ever want to see us score on the first play of the game again.
And the award the the most annoying person on TST goes to.......
Sam Bradford to Mike Sims-Walker
Kinda has a ring to it
READ ALL ISAID 6 WEEKS AGO ALL TRUE....MEDIOCRE SIGNINGS
NO RECEIVERS …AND ON AND ON
Nope
It’s going to happen sooner than you think. I watched Sam when I lived in Oklahoma City during his college daze. He is not a loser and won’t accept anything less than perfect. This trial of fire and ice will make him or break him.
Good daze are ahead but it won’t happen over night.
VERY DOUBTFUL----IF SO WE'LL BE 1-1 THAT WOULD BE GREAT---ALWAYS
REMEMBER WHAT MY FRIEND SAID LIONS/RAMS 8-8 FOREVER ON A GOOD YEAR
Embaresment has a way of working wonders
Don’t underestimate your team, it’s workng its way to the correct roster. The cream, and the right player’s will rise to the top. Or we just scuttle our ship and say F it.
LOVE YOUR ENTHUSIASM AND SUPPORT
BUT WORKING ITS WAY TO THE CORRECT ROSTER ..SHOULDN’T THAT HAVE BEEN DONE BEFORE GAME 1…AND WITHCOME OF OUR BETTER PLAYERS HURT ..BETTER ROSTER???BUT YOU ARE A GAMER AND I LUV YA FOR IT AT LEAST YOUR NOT A MEAN GUY
IS THIS WHAT RAM FOOTBALL FOR 2011 WA S SUPPOSED TO BE ABOUT
HOPE AND CHANGE………….DIDN’T WE HEAR THAT SLOGAN SOMEWHERE BEFORE
GOTTA RUN TO ANOTHER THREAD .......DON'T BE DISCOURAGED ...REMEMBER THE LIONS ...8-8
IS ALWAYS A SUCCESSFUL YEAR ………….EVERY YEAR
CAN YOU BACK UP OUR RECORD FROM 2004 TIL NOW -U MY FRIEND ARE THE ONE'S THATS
BEYOND CLUE;LESS…8-25 IN 3 YEARS YOU ARE RIGHT- MY FRIEND SAID FOREVER 8-8 LIKE THE LIONS --HE WAS WRONG BY ABOUT 16 GAMES ON THE LOSS SIDE

Ive been
reading along with all of you guys on this blog for years and never really felt the need to join and make a comment until now. I cant think of a year that we have had the FO make such terrible decisions. Well at least during a year that we could actually compete. I mean, you go out and get two good backups behind steve and you get sam absolutely nobody to throw to. WTF. You add key players to the D and they are gonna stay on the field 3/4 of the game b/c the receiving core cant catch a pass or run a one yard deeper route. Smh
