The Rams are a QB red light...

[Jetstream Green]

The Rams are not a dirty team. Their DL is not dirty and does not try to land cheap shots. The Rams DL is just very very good and loaded with first round picks that are big and unreal fast (thanks partially to the Skins and the picks). If we do get ahead in this game by just 2 touchdowns, I would put Stanton in. I respect and dig Arians with our players will play but these Rams have defenders who are unreal physical specimens and I do not want to lose Palmer again to the Rams!

NO doubt...

BUT...isn't it comforting to know we have a coaching staff that is fully aware of it...That plus the talent needed is there to game plan to counter effectively.

What NFL team takes out their starting QB after going up by 2 TDs? Does Tom Brady ever take a seat on the bench 4 weeks into the regular season? You can't play scared in the NFL.

This! I mean come on guys...

 

[LoyaltyisaCurse]

Maybe put Watford in alongside MASSIE instead of a TE?

Exactly

Football is a game played by men. Men who can't be scared to play a little longer cuz they might get hurt. You start doing that, you get labeled as the soft team who can't take a physical game and that's not a reputation I want to have. I want to do exactly what we did to the 9ers this week and I want Palmer to play until Stanton can come in and destroy his rushing total with kneel downs.

The Rams aren't a dirty team? Did Jeff Fisher stop being their HC or something?

Not saying what they did to Palmer was dirty, but they are definitely a dirty team by what they have done to other teams since Fisher's tenure.

Ask Big Ben about this.

Isn't their DC the one who orchestrated 'bounty-gate'?

Why not? Hell, put Shipley in too if we're going deep. Like last year, I don't get the fear of these guys. Two freak plays cost us our qb's but Arians won't play scared, and I'm pretty sure Palmer won't either. The play on RuthlessRaper was a weird, freakish play. I still say we win by at least 20.

That's how I feel with all the "sit Palmer" chatter worrying about injuries. The same argument gets made for pp21 not to do punt returns

Yep, it's football. Can't ever played scared. This league, including the coaches, front office, GM, and owner, they're all alpha males. All of them. They will destroy you if you let them.

Worst thing we could do is what Whiz did with Kolb and Anderson when he put extra dudes in to block. If it's specific to that down and distance, then okay, but never to try and protect. We saw what happened with Kolb, he got called out publicly as being scared, even with all that protection. After that it was like sharks after his ass.

Can't do that. We have to trust Palmer and his body and let him take the hits all QBs are going to take.

They are big strong men. Men have been growing into their knowledge ofk the game. Only the best play NFL football. The best of them get the most snaps. I want our guys who are the best playing. Palmer included. As are all to he major stars let's stay on the road that Ariana has mapped out.

GBR
40

 

[slanidrac16]

In the past I was always afraid we would try to counteract what the opposition was doing. Such as " put an extra lineman in for protection".

I am no longer concerned with that. Arians will come out with the same attitude of punch them in the face...and keep punching them. Let THEM counteract what WE do.

I don't see us scoring 40 this week but I don't see the Rams scoring more than 13. I'm thinking 24-13.

Sound advice right there !!

 

[Jetstream Green]

Guys, I had no problem at all leaving Palmer in the game last week... I just know what seems to happen to Palmer against the Rams, and what happens to QBs against the Rams, and this is one game I would make an exception to leaving Palmer in if we go up by two touchdowns or three, because these guys are like playing Minnesota in preseason lol

 

[RamzFanz]

Every season I warn the Cards, fake an injury for your QB. Back tightness. Cramps. Flu. whatever. If you want to keep him, don't play him. I'm dead seriouse. I like Palmer. Dude is amazing for the Cards, my second favorite team. Don't play him.

Here's my suggestion for you. Tell the Rams to stay home to avoid an ass whoopin. The Rams are my second favorite team in the west. Seriously, stay in St Louis. Your offense will be totally befuddled against this defense.

The big difference in this game...we have a REAL offense. The Rams don't.

Seriously.

 

[Darkside]

RamzFanz just makes me want to beat their ass more, if that's possible. I wish when Fitz scores our 40th point in Sundays game he would spike RamzFanz into the dirt instead of the football. Faceplant style, head in the grass, legs twitching, his mommy all worried, like what happened to my sweet poo-bear. Lol

My bad, Fitz doesn't spike, maybe he'll hug him like he did Rolle after putting up the 40, RamzFanz needs it.

Now I don't condone injuries of any sort to either team, but since the Rams seem to have our number in terms of players getting injured each year, can we just designate Drew Butler as this year's "sacrificial lamb"?

 

[BurqueCardFan]

Isn't their DC the one who orchestrated 'bounty-gate'?

Exactly. Gregg Williams will carry around that label and justifiably so. I think if big time QB's keep having knee injuries against this team, it should be looked at more closely. Does this guy preach to his defense to hit the QB low if all else fails?

We could always make it fair and have all our players play left handed and see if that helps?

 

[NashDishesDimes]

I agree, however the Cards line should be top 5-10 in the league with Iupati back this week and hooefully top 5 by years end. I am not overly concerned about any open bug hits.
