Rams lose heartbreaker 30-28 on last second field-goal

Blogged under Bloglockers, Front Page by ravenhater on Sunday 15 October 2006 at 7:12 pm

The Rams played their heart out, but it wasn’t quite enough to beat the Seahawks.  Marc Bulger had another excellent game, completing 26 of 39 passes for 360 yards with 3 TDs and his first interception of the season.  Steven Jackson didn’t find much running room as he carried the ball 20 times for 56 yards and a TD.  Jackson also caught 7 passes for 40 yards.  WR Torry Holt caught 8 passes for 154 yards and 3 TDs!  Kevin Curtis caught 2 passes for 52 yards.  Isaac Bruce has caught 5 passes for 45 yards.

Linebacker Will Witherspoon came to play making 11 tackles, but he should have told his friends on the D to help him out.  The Seahawks ran the ball 28 times for 125 yards (4.5 ypc).  The Seahawks moved the ball well through the air too, completing 19 of 34 passes for 239 net yards passing.

This game will hurt for awhile, but the Rams have to act like it never happened.

Rams vs. Seahawks

Blogged under Front Page, This Week's Matchup Report by ravenhater on Thursday 12 October 2006 at 3:51 pm
This is a showdown for supremecy in the NFC Western Division.  The Seahawks probably thought they would role through this division again like last year, but they’ve run into some speed bumps.  The Rams have played well, but their also has been a lot of luck involved.

Without running back Shaun Alexander, the whole Seahawks offense is thrown off kilter.  Maurice Morris (101 yards rushing) could find some running room against the Rams defense which is allowing 120.6 yards rushing per game and 4.6 yards per carry.  If the Seahawks get something going on the ground it will take some of the pressure off of QB Matt Hasselbeck.  Hasselbeck buckled under pressure in the Seahawks last game against the Bears and was making real bad decisions with the football.  WR Deion Branch is gonna start this game and give Hasselbeck a second receiver to pair with Darrell Jackson (22 rec, 293 yards).  Hasselbeck must be careful however when throwing because the Rams already have 8 interceptions this season.

Marc Bulger has been pretty good so far this season.  Bulger has thrown for 1,259 yards and 7 TDs with ZERO Interceptions this season.  The Seahawks secondary is very vulnerable to the type of downfield passing attack that the Rams possess.  Torry Holt (29 rec, 372 yards) and Isaac Bruce (22 rec, 343 yards) have been putting on a show this season and they should both have good games this week.  The new demension of the Rams offense is the running back.  Steven Jackson has run the ball well (465 yards rushing) and caught the ball well (18 rec, 184 yards).  The Seahawks linebackers will have to stop Jackson if they want to win.  The Seahawks have been tough against the run so far this season only allowing 79.8 yards rushing and 3.5 yards per carry.

I think this will be a good football game, but I like the Rams to win a close one.

 

Rams special teams pitching in

Blogged under Bloglockers, Front Page by ravenhater on Wednesday 11 October 2006 at 2:43 pm

The Rams special teams have done pretty well so far this season.  The Rams have been solid on punt coverage allowing only 6.6 yards per return.  The Rams need to do a better job on kick-off returns as teams are averaging 25.7 yards per return.

Jeff Wilkins has hit 18 of 21 FGs and all 7 XPTs.  Punter Matt Turk is doing a good job, as usual.  Turk is averaging 43.8 yards per punt for a net gain of 39.2 yards.  Turk also has placed 35% of his punts inside the 20 yard line.

Shaun McDonald is averaging 11.0 yards per punt return which is outstanding.  JR Reed is averaging 20.2 yards per kick-off return which is a tad below average.

Rams win tough battle with Packers 23-20

Blogged under Bloglockers, Front Page by ravenhater on Monday 9 October 2006 at 1:04 pm

The Rams won a tough battle with a late defensive stop in the 4th quarter.  Brett Favre drove the Packers all the way to the 10 yard-line and fumbled as he was getting sacked, to end the game.  Marc Bulger continued his fine play this year, completing 18 of 28 passes for 220 yards and 2 TDs.  Steven Jackson helped keep the offense balanced by running the ball 23 times for 98 yards (4.3 ypc).  Torry Holt caught 3 passes for 40 yards and a TD.  Kevin Curtis caught 3 passes for 21 yards and a TD, and running back Tony Fisher caught 2 passes for 51 yards.

The defense had some trouble stopping Brett Favre and his buddies on offense.  The Packers ran the ball 26 times for 121 yards (4.7 ypc).  The Rams allowed the Packers to complete 22 of 39 passes for 220 yards and a TD.

It was a nice win for the Rams, but when are they gonna blow someone out?  My hair is turning gray watching these guys. 

 

Rams FB out for a while

Blogged under Bloglockers, Front Page, Injury Reports by ravenhater on Saturday 7 October 2006 at 9:09 am

Starting fullback Paul Smith is out for at least this week with a concussion.  This shouldn’t hurt the offense too bad, as Steven Jackson is big enough to not need a fullback in front of him.
