What's that magic word folks use to defend keeping Fisher around?
Continuity?
That's it in a nutshell
Continually awful

Watching him in training camp, they were getting him the ball through the air and he looked good. I've noticed that Bennie has been coming in on certain 3rd downs and that puzzles me. They keep telling us that Gurley is a 3 down back but their actions are telling us something different.

gurley hasn't been targeted on 3rd down, benny has all of the 3rd down rb targets....

Yeah, I didn't seem to recall ever seeing him get a target on 3rd down. Hopefully that changes this week

last year gurley saw just 4 third down targets while the rest of the backs saw a combined 24, looks like a repeat...

Just curious but do you know how many play action plays they've used?

Totally agree A1, et al. Remember Chuck freaking Foreman? He would kill the Rams (hell, the whole league) with those dump off passes. Same with the whiners RBs during the dark period. It's a great stat builder and makes defenses think and be honest in the pass rush. It's a screen pass without the risk. The pass has to be accurate. If the back has to reach back or adjust the timing is ruined.

no i don't , pff used to provide that stat to subscribers before they pulled the plug, don't think any of the free places offer it, in anyone does it would be football outsiders but i haven't checked in a while... i did come across an interesting stat tho, 64 of keenum's 65 passes have been without presnap motion, aikman talked about too in the seattle game, said it was very strange, he wasn't a fan...

If any of us don't believe it is coaching, just take a look at New England. I think they could win with me at QB. What is beginning to worry me is that the players are going to lose faith in the inept coaching the Rams have. We have the players, but the way they are being utilized is an absolute travesty.
