MNF: 49ers at St. Louis (Rams: 1999 throwback uniforms)

Saint Louis is hosting only their fourth prime-time game since 2008. And two of those were Thursday nighters on NFL Network.

Rams have played Jim Harbaugh's 49er team close more often than not:

Rams at home vs Jim Harbaugh's 49ers

2011 - L 27-34

2012 - W 16-13 (OT)

2013 - L 11-35

Rams away vs Jim Harbaugh's 49ers

2011 - L 0-26

2012 - T 24-24

2013 - L 13-23

Rams will be wearing 1999 throwback uniforms in honor of the 15th Anniversary of the Super Bowl-winning Greatest Show on Turf, who is being honored at halftime

Helmets and jerseys aren't only throwback changes for the night...The Edward Jones Dome tonight has a throwback look to it, commemorating the 1999 Super Bowl Championship team.

And for MNF, the Rams "are rolling back hot dog and beer specials to the year 1999."

under blitz-happy defensive coordinator Gregg Williams (the DC of the Saints when they won the Super Bowl), the Rams have been sending extra rushers more than anyone else in football this season. Kaepernick has a 107.7 rating against the blitz this season, 83.9 against no blitz

Rams linebackers James Laurinaitis and Alec Ogletree will have their hands full. This season, Kaepernick has more rushing yards (205) than running backs Jamaal Charles , Chris Johnson , Shonn Greene , Montee Ball , Reggie Bush , Darren McFadden , Toby Gerhart , Donald Brown and Doug Martin .

Since the start of 2013, Kaep has run the ball -- either by design or on scrambles -- 135 times, which is more than any other quarterback in football.

However, Kaepernick has been criticized heavily for his habits in the pocket. Only Geno Smith has held onto the ball longer than Kaepernick this season. That might explain why Kaepernick has been sacked 3rd-most frequently per dropback (8%) of every qualifying quarterback in the league

    • I believe Lloyd will elevate not just the whole unit, but also whoever his running mate is. Wallace is still very young, I think he's only 23 with two years of exp now. Cherelus can handle starting, he's just fighting with staying healthy. Kuwatch I think is going to be a contender after a couple week of understanding the system.  I mean Lee will be against..... what nearly 10 NFL-level WRs, he's going to get work and its up to him if he can hang.  I think its fair to expect 12th +/- 3 or 4 spots.  You know this, it boils down to how healthy everyone stays.....cause if dbrown, horn, Lloyd, Michael Jackson, or tervon miss extended time.....no way 10th can be reached. IF all the names above remain haethly, I do think 10th should be the goal. They are a young unit and added talent to a 16th ranked unit. Its time to march forward!!
    • Varying degrees all around but it starts at the top. That is where the buck stops. It has been 8 years of stupid, long before Morgan came back. Or Tillis was hired. Made it to the top of stupid mountain in 2023. Stayed in stupid limbo for a while, now we are prepping to scale the next mountain. In this case, I like those guys’ roster building better than what we have had so I am okay with them as our current pawns in the game of Bryce. 
    • Don't let me gas him up too much, but I hear this and that...... I seen a wide body man with a quick burst, that's able to shed blocks and if extends his long arms its over. He tore up the OL in the senior, you seen about 10 plays and the dog walking OLman. There's other plays of him doing the same, just have to deal with fetus talking over the plays. Plus there's this-  https://x.com/PFF_College/status/2018385471068332410?lang=en     I hope he's ready, cause Id like to see him starting and doing his thang with dbrown, nic, and Phillips.
