Yeah, Im overreacting, thats why I called it a hot take. It seemed funny to me. But if we could trade Swift for a good OL Id do it in a heartbeat. Call me a Roschon Johnson fan. Ive liked him since training camp last year. I thought he'd be the starter for sure. But yes, if our OL opened holes for Swift, Im sure id like him better. Once he gets to the second level Swift is pretty dangerous, but until we open holes, Johnson is the better pounder at the first level, and if you can bull/fall forward for 4 yards a carry, thats all we really need.

Swift's running style is based on speed. He needs holes to get through, but he has quick change of direction. So here's a hot take: Velus Jones Jr gives you (only) that at RB too. They are both possible home run hitters, and neither is a grinder or a guy to in tough yards up the middle. Does anyone want to trade a Center for Swift?

this is how I see it too - well said.

I think there is an upside to team chemistry, but i also think Poles places too much value on nice guys, especially on the OL. I think Poles personal relationships with the players is clouding his judgement? This is what i was trying to say about the hugging Justin. I am VERY glad it didnt stop him from trading Justin, but i still think he needs to be more of an authority figure and less one of the guys. I also worry that Ian Cunningham is the brains. Im not ready to turn on poles yet, I think he's done a lot of very good things for us. But he is not infallible by any means.

I also think that when Caleb gets a little more cred (which could be very soon) he will start telling Waldron which plays he likes and which ones he doesnt. That may be the "outside voice" we need And if you doubt that Caleb would have that kind of power, consider that although it should never come to this, if Caleb and Waldron cant get along, it will be Waldron who gets fired.

and with all that production, the coaches were only able to cobble 16 points out of it.

I like the way youre thinking.

The Rams have a coach.

I have liked him best since his rookie year.

Im no JF fan, and I'm still all in for Caleb, but part of why we ran well last year was that the defense had to respect the edges with Justin. Waldron brings his WRs in close to the formation to run, so theres more defenders closer to the ball. DUMB.

Im disgusted. have a good rest of the day guys.

"Matt Eberflus calls his final timeout" Wouldnt THAT be great?

thats a "Hail Murphy" lol

no this is not what a modern passing game looks like - this is what bad offensive gameplanning looks like I also agree with you that we need to run the ball. modern passing offenses run the ball too!

well Ill bet we wish we had 3 timeouts now. hmmm whered they go Eberflus?!

well their secondary is depleted, so we should be able to do SOMETHING

when that much production only leads to 9 points, thats bad coaching.

Odunze is growing up this game. He still has a way to go, but it seems like his light is coming on.

^5

Im telling you, Ive seen similar schematic errors every week when I looked at the film. Its hard to win in the NFL, but impossible when you have to climb uphill.

just play regular football? Its just another of a long line of smartest guys in the room for us.

yeah lets ask a TE to block their bast defensive lineman on a long pass where the timing takes a minute. Waldron youre a genius.

ok lets go. at some point when Caleb has earned his stripes, he will call for certain plays and schemes too.

baaaaad coaching

and 2 INTs, but yes. CW is fine, especially for a rookie in his third game. The coaching is atrocious.
