The 33-year-old Hoyer is in his second stint with the Patriots. He signed with the team as an undrafted rookie in 2009, spending three years as Tom Brady’s backup. He bounced around a bit, but got a chance to be a starter in 2013-14 with the Cleveland Browns. In Cleveland, Hoyer played under offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan — and a young coach named Sean McVay, who was then tight ends cby moklerman - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotemax Why read anything more into it than a 24 yr old QB saying he performed poorly and will get better? Some guys find fault with everything Goff says or does. A fair critical position on Goff is to say let’s see how he does next year. Will he get better? We shall see. But I have no reason to doubt him when he’s gotten better every year.But he didn't say he performed poorly. That is aby moklerman - RamsFootballFans.com
The difference is, you don't have to infer anything from what I've said, you can just ask me. Assigning me an ulterior motive isn't productive. “I wish I would’ve done my part better,". That isn't a perfectly clear statement because we don't know what he means by "part". As I already asked, does that mean how he played, how he prepared, how he reacted? It's ambiguous. Yoby moklerman - RamsFootballFans.com
but the dot connecting is wild. Will the Rams move on from Goff? Probably not but I don't think it's that radical of an idea. Or, I didn't until recently. I'm worried about McVay's system at this point as it has failed to really produce since KC. Until now, I've been of the opinion that McVay could take any starting caliber QB and have success so re-signing Goff to an astronomical deal wasn'by moklerman - RamsFootballFans.com
I appreciate the example(s) but question the comparison. Not because Manning is a HOF but because he was basically a mediocre post season QB. 9 times one and done. 17/27 games with 1 TD or less. Your point is understood and Goff is by no means a finished product but I'd compare him to a great post season QB like Warner if I was trying to establish what he might some day be.by moklerman - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteramBRO I'm beginning to think that McVay completely outsmarted himself in addition to being outcoached by Belichek.It isn't the first time he's done it so I would tend to agree. It happens to all of them so I guess it just has to be chalked up to experience but there's no good reason the Rams shouldn't have gone to the power run game against the Pats. As Romo pointed out, the Patriotsby moklerman - RamsFootballFans.com
Is he promising that he'll play better? Prepare better? React better? Goff has never had a problem with saying the right thing. He's been coached on that his whole life. Maybe his quote is a great sign of leadership but my first response was why didn't you do what you needed to THIS time? He seems to imply there was more that he could have done or something he could have done differently.by moklerman - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRamBill Where does Jared Goff go from here? I don't know what's been figured out, whether it's McVay or Goff but since the KC game, it hasn't been the same offense. Goff's numbers are strikingly different: Before the bye(11 games): 258/381(67.7%) 3,547 yards(9.3 ypa) 26td(6.8%)/6int(1.6%) 113.4 rating After the bye(8 games): 165/286(57.7%) 1,853 yards(6.5 ypa) 7td(2.4%)/8intby moklerman - RamsFootballFans.com
What makes the league look bad. If they admit or punish the Patriots for cheating(anymore), it just makes the league look bad, not the Patriots. They have tried punishing them, tried explicitly telling them to stop what they were doing, none of it worked. Now, they just ignore it and act like every team in the league is on the up and up and that there is parity.by moklerman - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRampage2K- Quotemoklerman I only saw the live play of it and I thought that they did get his facemask a little bit but it seemed like it was after he was already in the grasp and going down. I didn't react "FACEMASK, FACEMASK!", more of "huh, they "could" have called facemask on that too". I was more focused on why Goff didn't just go for the goal line right aby moklerman - RamsFootballFans.com
I don't think either of those shots shows someone clearly trying to hurt someone. It can be interpreted that way but isn't it just as feasible to say he was trying not to land on him? The second video especially. Guy jumped over a pile and then put his feet out to the sides so he wouldn't land on the player.by moklerman - RamsFootballFans.com
...no, it doesn't mean anything. It's just a touchback, ball spotted at the 25 yard line. What I wonder about is all of the cavalier returners just letting the ball go on kickoffs these days. The kickoff is a live ball but maybe that's only in the field of play?But if it lands and the kicking team can get to it first, it's their ball.

Quotezn QuoteThe_Zone Nothing is final until the final horn sounds.. Look as Rams fans we know what happened. If the Saints had just run the ball in that situation they would have drained time off the clock. It never gets down to one play, and the Saints still had chances to win. And so on.

QuoteRamBill Jared Goff performs well under pressure to send L.A. to Super Bowl LIII It's really too bad this game will forever be viewed under a proverbial black cloud.

QuoteBigGame81 They still need to execute a FG or TD. Nothing is a given.No, it wasn't a given. But we're not talking a miraculous effort to run out the clock and kick a chip shot once they were inside the 20. It's as much a given as there is in football.
