gamethread Football’s back! Well David Long Los Angeles Rams Jerseys , some of it. But not all of the Los Angeles Rams football we were expecting.To this point, there’s been one singular factor dominating this game: the Oakland Raiders’ offensive braintrust outcoaching the Los Angeles Rams’ defensive staff led by Defensive Coordinator Wade Phillips with TE Jared Cook operating as the lynchpin.Yeah. Jared Cook.I know.But it’s been a fascinating exercise. Oakland has controlled the entire proceedings by maintaining an overwhelming time of possession advantage: 21:31 to the Rams’ 8:29. The Raiders have converted half of their six third downs helping them control the clock and the schematic development.For the Rams, it’s been explosive throughout. Two huge PI draws from WR Brandin Cooks on underthrown balls from QB Jared Goff. A beautifully drawn up (and blocked) play for RB Todd Gurley who didn’t even need to be Todd Gurley to get in as he went untouched en route to the end zone.But it’s been sloppy on both sides for us.Gurley has just four carries for 19 yards in an entire half of football.

Buckle up.And let’s see if the Rams’ coaching staff can pull even with their opponents.We’re gonna need them to in order to get out of this with a W. This could spell some trouble for the Rams’ electric offense moving forward"As we approach the kickoff of the free agency period, the rumors continue to swirl. This time around, a report has surfaced that the Los Angeles Rams are unlikely to re-sign LG Rodger Saffold and he’s likely to hit the free agent market with plenty of suitors:This would be a bad situation for the Rams. They’re obviously currently limited in cap space with only $25m available and have multiple starters slated to hit the market in two weeks. Losing Saffold — who’s been a career Ram and is now 30-years old — would prove to be a major issue along the offensive line because of the age of LT Andrew Whitworth (one year left on contract) and the uncertainty/age surrounding C John Sullivan (also one year left on contract).If the Rams do lose Saffold in free agency David Long Jersey nfl draft , they’ll be entitled to a compensatory draft pick which will be determined by his price tag, games played, and accolades collected during the season.Let the rumors swirl.
