Thank you everyone for the help! Let’s keep hoping I get the doctors I need soon because I see a @RamsNFL Super Bowl win in the future and I wanna be around to watch it!! Thanks to all of you for being support and generosity! ✌🏼

[Rams Talk @TalkRams]

I don't know if you've missed it, but our fundraiser for @LARamsVoice has reached over $2800! Please help us give him his life back! It would make a huge difference in the life of someone that deserves a chance to live it! #LARams #RamsNation #Ramily https://t.co/vPU3rCoDYg

Thank you @PSchrags for giving much-deserved props to @robertwoods saying “He is as much a part of this (Rams) team as anybody” and “should enjoy today more than anybody else.” IMO, Woods is the NFL model of modesty, unselfishness and character and the very heart of the Rams.

[Dom M. Somera @LARamsVoice]

@Sean_McVay does NOT know how to call a game to put an opponent away and close the game. Conservative play calls with a 2nd half lead not only tire out your D (w/3&outs, short drives) but give your opponent life and time to come back.
No Rams lead feels safe...

GREAT segment on Good Morning Football with guest host and former Ram Aqib Talib about the Rams and Cooper Kupp:
“Do we believe in 'dream team' Los Angeles Rams? 'GMFB' weighs in” https://t.co/e5FU9ldFhD

[Dom M. Somera @LARamsVoice]

@gmfb GREAT discussion about @RamsNFL with @heykayadams @PSchrags and former Ram @AqibTalib21 this morning! Aqib great insight into @CooperKupp as former teammate, Peter & Kay give excited commentary. Interesting what happens when @KyleBrandt isn’t there to put down the Rams

[Dom M. Somera @LARamsVoice]

@RamsNFL These jerseys (tonight vs 49ers) are the best-looking on the field since the uniform redesign!

[Dom M. Somera @LARamsVoice]

@gmfb @KyleBrandt the Bridgewater “business decision” to not tackle was one of the weakest things I have seen in a while on a football field. Even kickers try. I don’t think a lot of QBs would get away with that so Teddy deserves to be called out. Make a tackle, football player.

[Dom M. Somera @LARamsVoice]

Robert Woods tore ACL in practice and out for season.

[Dom M. Somera @LARamsVoice]

@PSchrags @gmfb OBJ to Rams?! Big NO. Rams are about CHARACTER. Unappreciated beauty of Rams WR room is genuine unselfishness. Woods & Kupp have had friendly competition in which blocks worth as much as TDs. Van buys in. DeSean J just wants the ball & did not, so he was released.

[Dom M. Somera @LARamsVoice]

In my humble opinion:
think the Raiders would be a good fit for Desean Jackson (released, plus after Ruggs situation).
Saints may pick up OBJ from Browns (w/drama in Cleveland, Mike Thomas’ announcement).

[Dom M. Somera @LARamsVoice]

After Cardinals loss on Thursday night, Rams cannot afford to let up.
But they may be going into a favorable matchup in Houston w/out a handful of starters:
-Whitworth (knee, OUT)
-Joseph-Day (chest, OUT)
-Ramsey (illness, ?)
-Fuller (knee, ?)
-Rochell (knee, ?)
(Young-Denver)

[Dom M. Somera @LARamsVoice]

From 1st (2020) to 21st-ranked in the first 7 wks of 2021, the Rams Defense is struggling in the absence of last year’s starters including Brockers, Johnson, Hill.
Now the aggressive playmaker Kenny Young is in Denver.
AND this week:
SBJ (out)
Ramsey, Rochelle (questionable)

[Dom M. Somera @LARamsVoice]

@KyleBrandt @gmfb You’ve mentioned “the stink of arrogance” regarding the Bills, then “hubris” re: Ravens after recent losses.
Chiefs are the very definition of EGO. No-look interceptions, pre-snap theatrics (in a loss); their years of over-confidence has come back to bite them.

[Dom M. Somera @LARamsVoice]

@lorilee805 Not here. Went to check another channel and apparently missed Lions TD and onside kick. Just came on DTV after that.
But thanks...go Rams!

[Dom M. Somera @LARamsVoice]

Why the hell is the Rams Lions game NOT yet showing on DirectTV even though the game has started?!?

[Dom M. Somera @LARamsVoice]

@gmfb so it takes Nate coming back in a virtual visit for the show to give due credit to the Rams as a team for a big, convincing win against the Brady-led reigning champion Bucs?!? Still don’t give Rams (as a team) warranted round table props on this show...

[Dom M. Somera @LARamsVoice]

@NFLGameDay @michaelirvin88 has it all wrong re: imply&infer. They are opposites: imply refers to info given, infer is info rec’d.
Ie, the NFL host can imply he knows the difference. But the discerning audience infers he doesn’t

[Rams Talk @TalkRams]

A poll to be discussed on this week’s Butting Heads pod:

How satisfied were you with the Rams offense against Green Bay?

[Dom M. Somera @LARamsVoice]

So Staley stays in LA but not with the @RamsNFL. But we may also be losing OC Kevin O’Connell?
LaFleur, Taylor, etc...
This is no longer just a Shanahan tree.
It’s a McVay tree. Period.

Report: Kevin O'Connell candidate for Chargers offensive coordinator https://t.co/dVPIJn6FkF

[Dom M. Somera @LARamsVoice]

Time to be concerned about who will be back in the Horns in 2021...
