The Texans forgetting how to tackle padded his stats with 54 yards after contact. He isn't a power runner.

Read any scouting report on the kid and you will see that he is known as an inside the tackles , North/South power runner known for breaking tackles and his ability to move the pile. The Rams traded up to get him to be their power running back. Ideally Richardson and Pead were going to be used inside the 20's with Stacy being used as their short yardage back in power formations and at the goaline.

 

Just saying, if that is the Rams version of DeAngelo Williams than I must be missing something.

This is a great break down. 

 

 

- Apply pressure from the front four. This really is the key to this game. Sam Bradford currently has a 90.7 passer rating. That rating drops to 57.1 when playing under pressure. However, when being blitzed, Bradford scores a 112.1. This means that the Rams are a team well prepared for the blitz. The Panthers must apply pressure to Bradford while keeping its defensive backfield in tact. Carolina has the personnel on the defensive line to do so, lets hope for another Eli Manning'esque feeding frenzy

Zac Stacey was touted by many analysts to be an under the radar break out player before the season started....that has yet to be seen due to St. Louis giving the bulk of the carries to Daryl Richardson who was been non existent this year, not really worried about the rams rushing attack simply saying small sample source on Stacey....the one position that worries me is Jared cook the tight end...he had a field day on the cardinals and seeing what Rudolph did against us last week (9catches and a TD) a more athletic cook could pose a problem. The key is setting the tone early don't let Bradford get comfortable and don't let Stacey break anything to set up the play action. Play physical with little tavon and it could be a long day for the rams offense. All in all I feel the defense will show up once again hopefully their counter parts on offense don't come out flat and put some points on the board!!

I guess I'm in the minority, I don't really like our blue jerseys.

Zac Stacy, I'm not familiar with. But, we've been almost shutdown on the run. So I'm not too concerned. I am concerned with dink-dunk QB's like Bradford. I will be at the game and if Rams play it that way on offense it will be a bore fest for me personally.

      I have more faith in XL improving than I do in Tmac being a true number 1 recuever

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies

      You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.
