Are the Rams Dirty or What ?

It's all about reputation. When Kevin Minter does it to Josh McCown twice nobody really cares. Rams players don't get the benefit of the doubt.

Btw Fisher replied to Harrison by blasting his personal foul history in which he's committed like 87 personal fouls or something. Fighting fire with fire but you'd think a dirty player would know a dirty hit better than anyone.

It's the moment of contact so it shows that Joyner did not blast him with a forearm or his helmet.

You people respond like I'm trying to convince you of something. It's a legitimate question. If Joyner wanted to hurt Bridgewater, he could have squared up, lowered his head and plowed through Bridgewater. What it looks like is that Joyner pulled his arm in and turned away from Bridgewater, albeit too late. It's even more evident in the video. Joyner made a bad choice but I don't believe he intended to hurt Bridgewater.

lol, Joyner had to adjust his angle to ensure he still hit Bridgewater in the head. Even after the he started to go low Teddy was going lower, Joyner had to spin his body to direct all the weight from his upper body straight into Bridgewater's face THAT is what the spinning was geared towards.

On NFL radio today they said that Jeff Fisher teams have a history of being dirty.. Since he has been a head coach his teams have been penalized by far the most in the entire NFL. The next closest team was approx 250 penalties behind… Thats a HUGE number… His teams have also lead the league during his tenure in personal fouls, Unsportsmanlike Conduct and roughing the passer… Pretty crazy actually.

This from Florio (PFT) yesterday:

In 2012, when Fisher became coach of the Rams, Bernie Miklasz of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch (via an assist from Mike Sando of ESPN.com) pointed out that, from 2001 to 2010, the Titans: (1) led the NFL in most personal fouls with 163; (2) had 67 unnecessary roughness penalties, leading the NFL; and (3) had 46 roughing the passer penalties, leading the NFL. More recently, Miklasz combined the full Houston/Tennessee years with Fisher’s Rams teams and concluded that Fisher’s teams had 236 more penalties than their opponents, 1,937 more penalty yards than their opponents, 116 fewer first downs via penalties than their opponents.

So combining Fisher and his history with Williams as their DC and you have the exact ingredients for a Dbag casserole.

During that time, weren't the Cardinals in second place with 137 personal fouls?

So far this year the Cards have 5 unnecessary roughness penalties and the Rams have 3.

Isn't 163 a much bigger number than 137?

as for this year the league average is 3.78 so roughly 4. Take away the bad call in the Pittsburgh game in the endzone on Golden and the Cards have 4.

No.

Ok. Take away the bad call on Barnes in the Whiner game and the Rams have 2.

It's 19% bigger than the Cards number. I'd say that's a pretty big difference.

Even over a period that long it's pretty big.

If it's the play I think it was it's the play where Austin fumbled and the refs blew it dead and the Rams lineman tackled the 49ers guy running with the ball well after the whistle? If so I guess you can fault the 49er for running with it but you could easily hear the whistle on tv so it didn't surprise me at all they penalized the guy for tackling him.

3 of those were utter BS calls...

Can you tell me where you found this info? I'm having trouble locating it.
