What I'm Hearing

Utah_Saint · 01-18-2019, 11:28 AM

I keep hearing that because Talib is back, the Rams won't have a problem with Micheal Thomas. Just my opinion but that's just nuts. Talib is better than Peters but he's still not good enough to single up on Thomas.

First, Talib plays left corner. If the Saints don't like the match up, they'll play Thomas on the right side. Simple enough.
Secondly, Talib is a physical corner. He's got a great combination of speed and strength, but trying to out physical Thomas is a good way to lose a matchup.
Third, what're they gonna do about Ginn? Peters is not a fast corner. If Peters is left one on one with Ginn, Ginn's gonna get open deep and steal the poor boy's gumbo.

All in all, Talib being back is better for the Rams than if he weren't in but with or without him, the Rams secondary is still a liability.

We are a small market team and the NFL won't sell as much NFL paraphernalia if we win.....and Roger Godhell would choke giving the Lombardi to Coach Sean Payton.

Obviously the Patriots and Rams is who the NFL wants to play, but most Americans I believe would like to see the Saints and Chiefs to shake things up and also every body loves Drew Brees!

"SMALL MARKET" yet all the stadiums hold almost the same number of spectators. I live in Indy but am not a Colts fan.

I hope our guys are listening, because if they're hearing what I'm hearing they'll have all the motivation they could possibly need for this Sunday.

Me? I think we're going to shock the world. Again.

EXPLAIN, SPOCK

What is the smallest NFL market?
Green Bay Packers
The Green Bay Packers are located in the smallest media market of any NFL, NBA or MLB franchise. But despite its small size — the city has a population of just more than 100,000 people — the games are regularly sold out.
