Last year the fans were saying the same thing. "Raheem Great-from-the-podium-not-so-great-with-X's-&-O's Morris". But the defense was a strength last year and they're all we've had so far this year. Quite possibly, if it weren't for Morris' defense we might be 1-6 or 0-7.


Ramsey said, "I don't care what people (fans) say about Rah, people (fans) got no clue." I guess he heard what people (fans) were saying last year and what they're saying this year. But I'm sure they'll keep saying it. Losing has that effect.

We have a top 10 d, top 5/higher in some categories and the 32 ranked OL and 32 ranked pass protection in a “passing” league. Plain to see which side of the ball is the problem and the area of that side that is the main problem. Fix that and this looks/plays like a completely different team. They didn’t forget how to play championship football. They just have had a shit OL. Hopefully that changes, Sunday and beyond.

The defense has allowed 17 points or less in 5 games and we're 2-3 in those games. Like Ramsey said, "no clue".

12 TDs allowed on 81 possessions.

It's not an either or situation. The defense is clearly the better unit but they also clearly did a shit job on that last TB drive...

Pretty sure the way the players talk about him they would have a mutiny on their hands if they were to fire him now. Think the brass knows this. And as stated, D is not the problem this season.

I don't want to see Rah fired, I just would like to see more "situational football" awareness from him. It seems we rarely deviate from the 8-10 yard cushions making it too easy for QB's to complete passes and continue drives that should have ended.

When you play a team like the farty whiners who love to dink and dunk, I would love tom see Rah mix it up more and MAKE Jimmie G hold that ball juuuuust a bit longer! Maybe a fraction of a second is juuust enough to get AD to the QB!

Also, another example that is still fresh on our minds is that last drive by Tampon Bay. Is it really a good idea to play so soft against Tom Shady on a game winning drive? Last I heard, he is pretty good at that.

Maybe we could have mixed in something different there to give him something he wasn't expecting to see? Make him hold that ball juuust a bit longer to let AD get there or cause a TO!

Tom Shady's weakness is pressure up the middle if I remember correctly. Did we try and bring any pressure up the middle on that last drive? Even if it was a cleverly "disguised" pressure, it would have looked like we were at least trying to stop them.

I wonder how AD feels about it. The off coverage sure isn't helping his sack numbers, is it? Is he ok with that even if we are losing games? No way he gets DPOY while this year.

It's moot at this point but when your offense is bad, you can't play the way the Rams defense is playing. Giving up long, time consuming drives that end in FGs more often than TDs isn't so great if points are hard to come by for your offense...

Agreed. It's time to start making quarterbacks uncomfortable.
