Dennis Allen is hoping Marshon Lattimore will be ready to play against Atlanta Falcons

Seer1 · 12-05-2017, 06:28 AM

And furthermore, I'm hoping he's healthy enough to play the rest of the games we have this season AND post season! So there!

Who hires Captain Obvious to write sports stories?

And in other news... Water is wet.

Rams game we ran 16 times, 17 with a Brees' scramble, and threw 32 times - that's 1:2 pass and that's not going to get'r done with a defense without Lattimore...

What's perplexing is the run early and often formula was working, see '76's ranking citations, and the Rams set up nicely with a weak run defense...

...yet there was Sean, outsmarting everyone, including himself...

It seems to me that SP gets zero joy from calling running plays that aren't end arounds.

The methodical, steady, wearing down of a defense isn't glorious or ego stroking it seems.

I have no statistical basis for what I have posited

Only 11 years of watching him inexplicably, out of nowhere, abandon what is working.

Flame Away, but ask yourself how many times you wanted to rip the call sheet out of his hands.

The only part of your post that I can agree with.

I don't know why Guido doesn't agree with you. I most certainly do. Payton makes me shake my head sometimes with his play calling. I understand that he wants to confuse defensive coordinators and it works......mostly. Still, there are too many times that I just can't comprehend what he was thinking. He likes to outsmart his opponents but it doesn't always work and I'm left shaking my head.

I think Payton is doing a great job. The Saints are currently ranked third in the NFL in rushing, third in passing and second overall. I don't worry about what he's thinking. That's not my job. I just want them to win and they are doing just that.

Lattimore was drafted, among many reasons, but at the top would be Julio Jones...

If he can make it through this game and we can pull out the win then we have a long weak of rest and I am very confident against the jets. I just hope we don't play down to the competition. The division is certainly ours to take.
