Rams defense hopes to stretch TD-less streak to four games

St. Louis (6-8) is bidding to become the first team to go four straight games without allowing a touchdown since Pittsburgh went five in a row in 2000. The Rams have never gone four straight games without yielding one.


Quote:
The Rams' pass rush has produced 35 sacks in the last nine games after amassing one in the first five. Manning, set to make his 166th consecutive regular-season start, was sacked 19 times during New York's seven-game slide from Oct. 12-Nov. 30, though he has been dropped once in consecutive wins since.


In the 3 game stretch they have actually faced 6 different quarterbacks: Derek Carr/Matt Schaub , Colt McCoy/Bob, Drew Stanton/Ryan Lindley. Not exactly murderers' row, but it should be interesting.

ODB can throw the ball a little?
Not if this guy has anything to say about it...

sleep with run, run, pass for a few series and then BOOM! Switch it up to run pass run, get the first down, and then throw for a passing TD, thus breaking their streak.
Won't be surprising if they do.

Jerry and Walton are going to be feasted on this game and the results aren't going to likely be pretty.
These have been some really bad offensive teams  
BSIMatt : 12/17/2014 8:34 pm : link
the Ram's have faced the past three weeks. They are a challenge no doubt, but this will be the best offense they have faced in a month, which is saying something as the Giant's aren't an offensive juggernaut.
Don't think McAdoo will outsmart the Rams  
D_Giants : 12/17/2014 8:50 pm : link
The Giants have some good offensive players, but McAdoo's play calling will not take advantage of that fact. Coupling his play calling with a good Rams defense, the G-Men will not score more than 10 to 13 points. We only had 100 yards of offense in 3 quarters against the mighty Redskins!
Let's hope that McAdoo and Coughlin are willing

to be creative rather than play a macho game. And I hope Eli has spent some practice time throwing the ball away safely…
Funny that people heap high praxis on the rams defense  
djm : 12/17/2014 9:11 pm : link
And rightfully so but no one ever brings up that they kind of got fat on some bad offenses.

Only the giants get fat on bad teams.
Praxis should be praise  
djm : 12/17/2014 9:13 pm : link
What the fuck is praxis anyway and why is my phone auto correcting to it.
Praxis

So there you go.

Run the ball, move Eli around by moving the pocket, and quick passing concepts. Try not to put yourself in long yardage situations. If we do, then we can always hand the ball off or call a draw.

Excellent point. The Rams allow an average of 21.2 points per game, and that includes only allowing 12 in the last 3 (Raiders, skins, cards). Take those three out and the average jumps to 25.9, which is more than our D.
Why this is interesting

McAdoo has not adequately prepared his offensive line to function in high-crowd noise environment. This game will give him another chance.

It is amazing to me that you think you know that, and that you are speaking matter-of-factly about it.

Nobody wants to hear it, but the Giants would be better off losing, in my opinion.

I'm all in for playing spoiler on Philly if the opportunity presents itself, but this one is truly meaningless (just as the last two were)

On that link

I likey those Rams cheerleaders!
Good stat, by, Mike in Philly,

about the Ram's defense....

In addition, the Ram's offense really sucks.....if we can get to Hill, he is bound to make mistakes....

On offense, you negate the Ram rush with quick passes....what is scary though, they create pressure with 4....this OL has repeatedly shown, they can't handle stunts up the middle, especially with blitzes.....if they can pressure Eli early, they may force him into some bad "decisions"....Eli has to remain cool, and not force turnovers....

This could actually be a low scoring defensive game.....but I think the Rams are in for a let down, after last week's loss.....I think they will try to take OBj out of the equation, and it will be up to the TE's and Randle/Parker to win this one.....

Giants will win.....6-9.....and unfortunately, playing against teams without winning records and beating them, will look like this team has turned the corner, when actually, it hasn't reached it yet....
there is no amount of time

you could measure that would lead to John Jerry not sucking, Retro.

You know that.
