Morrow has no business playing as much as he does. Losing one player doesn't justify allowing 400 ypg and 30 ppg though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially when the alternative is Morrow and a guy we picked up about 3 weeks ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humble_Beast Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 We all knew our defense depth sucks... injuries always hit, Mayock should have expected that to happen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We only play with 3 LB's like 15-20% of the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We added two high profile FA LB's, traded a 4th round pick for another LB that has started/played a lot of football, drafted a LB in the 3rd round, and paid decent money to retain Morrow. You only have 53 roster spots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYRaider Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Just now, Humble_Beast said: MM is that you? Yes. We invested $23M to sign Littleton/Kwit and retain Morrow/Wilber plus spent a third on Muse and traded a 4th for McMillian. What more can you do? You expect us to have pro bowl level players deep down the depth chart? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morrow and McMillan are next up at that spot and Morrow has the most experience in Guenthers defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geezy Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 played a good first half vs the Pats holding them to 13. Offense didnt get enough going to sustain drives and keep the defense off the field. If the offense was healthy and operating normally the defense wouldnt be left to die. The Pats pounded the run game and we got killed in the 2nd half. End of the day were 2-1, with a bunch of starters out, gutting out the toughest part of the schedule. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agarcia34 Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 I was thinking how Randall must have made an awful impression on the team and coaches for them to cut bait on him. Especially knowing that E.Harris would have to start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYRaider Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 It's still so puzzling that we won't try Joyner at FS. Considering he skipped practice with the Rams because he was so frustrated they wouldn't let him play safety and kept him at NCB, lol. https://theramswire.usatoday.com/2017/12/14/nfl-los-angeles-rams-lamarcus-joyner-position-safety-cornerback/ Quote “To me, it was like having a million-dollar check you can’t cash because the bank just don’t want to accept it,” Joyner said, via Alden Gonzalez of ESPN. “It’s not that it’s not legitimate; they just don’t want to accept the check.” Joyner admits he was frustrated with the way he was utilized in Fisher’s defense, saying no one gave him the benefit of the doubt that he could succeed at safety. Three years later, he’s earned the trust of McVay and Phillips, and it’s paid off for all parties. “I just felt like I had a talent that I wasn’t given an opportunity to present in this league,” Joyner said. “And it was very frustrating. One year is enough, but three years? I just put my faith in the lord, knowing that someday it would come and I was going to get an opportunity.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to love Gunther's logic though. LaMarcus Joyner - Above average FS but terrible NCB with the Rams so we only play him at NCB. Cory Littleton - Very good ILB with the Rams so we only play him at SLB. But hey, at least we're able to operate his scheme...
