Rams just signed former all pro safety Eric Weddle. We’ll crap. I was really hoping them losing Jordan Fuller was going to be a disadvantage for them.

I don’t think you actually seen Eric Weddle the last time he played. He was horrendous for them in 2019. Them bringing him back must says a lot about the lack of trust in their young Safety chart.

This will be about as effective as the Cardinals bringing back Tony Jefferson for the playoffs.

I'm just scarred from all their stupid moves that always pan out for them. Whether it's getting Ramsey, Stafford, trading for Sony Michel, Von Miller, scooping up OBJ and now Weddle.

Just looking at his last year two seasons ago it was a pretty darn good statistical year.

I mean where in the world did this come from? Has be been considering coming out of retirement for some time now? He's got to be in shape right if they signed him? Maybe they've been talking for a while and prepared for a situation like this where he would have an opportunity?

I hate the Rams.

Cardinals’ pass defense is fatal flaw entering postseason

They have struggled on defense since Robert Alford got hurt and then Marco Wilson got hurt.

I mean, I don’t know how you can compare Weddle to any of those acquisitions. Weddle already played with them recently and was let go because he was so damn washed & had to retire. They seen his stats & they also seen how he actually looked like on the field. If you don’t believe me, go to their forum & look at their rather negative reactions.

Would someone mind explaining to me how you best attack a team that has lost its starting safety. Whatever it is, do you anticipate K1 being fully aware of a potential weakness?

Collins movin’ on up!

Hope that's the case

Depends if Aaron Donald doesn’t take over again.

I’d play them like how the 9ers do every time vs them. Short passes with a lot of motion sprinkled in, with an occasional deep pass.

This is also the game where I use Chase(like week 4) & Rondale Moore in the running game a lot.

That doesn't sound like Murray. I scream at the TV when he throws a 30 yard pass when they only need 3 yards for a 1st down. Like him not throwing the ball away, I just don't get it. But, I'm just a fan.

That was him in week 4. He was killing them with the intermediate game all day long. He just needs an identical performance.

Holy smokes. I don't know if this is a good sign that he can now move up the depth chart, or a terrifying one that he couldn't move up previously on a guy the team had an eye on cutting.

(this changes if it comes out there is some sort of legal issue)

Murray has done this all year long. I wouldn't be surprised if a larger majority (than other QBs) of his long balls are on 3rd and short.

Go route on three!

So are you saying we have a chance to see Dhop, . He still might be our best receiver option, lol.

He threw a 40 yard td to AJ Green on 3rd and 3.

He threws lots of underneath passes against the Rams the 2nd time as well.


The difference in the game was turnovers and missing AJ Green for a TD earlier in the game.

Its all woulda coulda shoulda. However, its 3 plays from Kyler that define that game.

The miss to AJ (Humphries got dominated and pushed into him, but he's still gotta make that throw)

The Donald tipped pass int where he dominated Garcia.

Kyler worst int of the year to Floyd.

Between Kyler and the Oline they cant have ALL those failures. Take away one and its a different game. One mistake is fine (hopefully) cant have multiple mishaps.

Feels a bit like this by Kliff

Gotta say though I like that he's putting the pressure on him like that. Time to bring this home Kyler.

Seems like a longer pass could be a decent strategy if you're already in field goal range. If it's not successful there's still a chance to score. In your own territory, miss and you'll have to punt.

EDIT: I'm pretending I know what I'm talking about.

No thats fair. I also think when we had Hopkins we got the matchups we wanted so we could take those chances more. And tbf Kyler finished rated the best deep passer in the league. So in circumstances he's gotta have less trust in his arm because he doesnt have his best guys.

Even the under throw to AJ Green against the Seahawks hurt. Cause if its not a perfect throw you cant expect AJ to come back for the ball and force a PI (Has he all year?) Thats something Hopkins would do.

So he better be on point or what I would like is for him to just bail and get the first down himself from time to time.

I see your Eric Weddle, and raise you a Larry Fitzgerald!

(someone had to say it)

Having slow Larry wouldnt help us a ton. However, if this info is true makes me wonder if they reached out to him and he still just said no.

I hope they figured out a way to use Rondale moore as a vertical threat, cause the way he is used they could just play eno Benjamin without wasting a draft pick
