Concerned about tackling (and I freely admit to PTSD from long-ago Rams defenses and their flailing/arm tackling ways) in terms of bringing RBs to ground. Too much Ogletree-style stuff going on with the lack of breaking down and bringing runners to the ground. Maybe it's just me.2. Linebacker play seems to be missing the boat. We are getting gashed on the run with opportunities provided by our aggressive line play and then lack of fill from the LBs. Just my take. 3. I hope we are ok with Henderson. Need to have a solid running game and we are looking thin at the moment. I am a big Michel fan, but...a lot to put on him right now. So happy to have the road win. Just concerned about the defense and...oh, yes. the ST. Coffee is for closers only. 5 by Hacksaw 2 years 6 months ago Total posts: 24523 Joined: Apr 15 2015 AT THE BEACH Moderator Tackling, LB Play, Running Game POST #2 JovialJaghut liked this post elmendorf wrote:Not a big poster here, but here goes...1.

Eventually you run across a team that breaks you. Like next weeks opponent.Hendi does seem a bit fragile, but let's see how he bounces back. Michel only is not going to last if Hendi is out.

Holding teams on 4th down is huge. It's a turnover that doesn't get enough credit. That sack on 4th down today was a huge momentum switch as well. The offense took the ball right down the field and scored.

Though i thought the defense of it last week was overstated and i still have the same concerns this week. Can you really give up all those yards, long time consuming drives and make it all better with turnovers and holding on 4th down? I don't think that's a recipe you can count on. I think it does matter if the other team isn't punting very much.Every week is different, its own thing but Tampa Bay is probably a whole different class of offense than the Bears and Colts were.I'm certainly interested to see how our defense does against them...

Teams that are not good offensively, are moving the ball against us. Cincy's D shut the bears down better than we did! Maybe its just me and he certainly still creates havoc in the trenches, but it seems like AD is starting to slow down. 1 sack in two games. Tampa will show whether the D is real or just benefitted by two weak offenses to start.Offensively, the run games was better. O line blocking seems good. Would like to see others than Kupp step up though.BTW, Hekker's best days are behind him.All in all, can't bitch about 2-0. I just have a feeling that the defense has lost too many key folks.

by AltiTude Ram 2 years 6 months ago Total posts: 2178 Joined: Jul 09 2015 Denver Pro Bowl Tackling, LB Play, Running Game POST #6 The best thing I've noticed so far is the Defense coming up with big plays when they need them. Holding teams on 4th down is huge. It's a turnover that doesn't get enough credit. That sack on 4th down today was a huge momentum switch as well. The offense took the ball right down the field and scored. Ramsey INT pretty much ended the game!When they need a big play, this Defense finds a way to make a play! by Elvis 2 years 6 months ago Total posts: 38455 Joined: Mar 28 2015 Los Angeles Administrator Re: Tackling, LB Play, Running Game POST #7 I don't have a strong take on the defense yet. Though i thought the defense of it last week was overstated and i still have the same concerns this week. Can you really give up all those yards, long time consuming drives and make it all better with turnovers and holding on 4th down? I don't think that's a recipe you can count on. I think it does matter if the other team isn't punting very much.Every week is different, its own thing but Tampa Bay is probably a whole different class of offense than the Bears and Colts were.I'm certainly interested to see how our defense does against them...

The defense has got to be better to beat Tampa. Chicago turned the ball over 4 times on downs and twice on turnovers, Indy once on downs and twice on turnovers. Can we really expect that to continue vs the Bucs? I don't think so. We either need to tighten up the D or score 50 on them, IMO. Been following the horns since the Coliseum had a Roman playing there.

I don't expect you to have any finger nails but I do expect the Rams will make some more big plays.Stops on 4th down.....INT's in the Redzone....Answering with scores on Offense....Did I mention 4th down stops?The Rams are growing right in front of our eyes. by Haden 2 years 6 months ago Total posts: 2134 Joined: Sep 06 2016 Spokane, WA RFU Survivor Champ Tackling, LB Play, Running Game POST #10 I have not been that impressed with the D overall. Teams that are not good offensively, are moving the ball against us. Cincy's D shut the bears down better than we did! Maybe its just me and he certainly still creates havoc in the trenches, but it seems like AD is starting to slow down. 1 sack in two games. Tampa will show whether the D is real or just benefitted by two weak offenses to start.Offensively, the run games was better. O line blocking seems good. Would like to see others than Kupp step up though.BTW, Hekker's best days are behind him.All in all, can't bitch about 2-0. I just have a feeling that the defense has lost too many key folks.
