    Got to not rush Jackson back too soon. That’s a semi letdown possibily not seeing him until game 3. He was a key aquire.

      I can confirm that Jackson is out of his walking boot and can run. He literally sprinted from the main part of the locker room today after seeing the media gathered nearby, much to the delight of teammates Derwin James and Asante Samuel.





      Still gametime decision. Jackson is a definite maybe vs 'Turds.

        Rams lost starting LT Whitworth, starting RG Corbett. May take awhile getting new guys up to speed.

        We are returning LG starter, Pro Bowl LT and C. Played rookie RG Zion and RT Pipkins in preseason.

          They sure looked good but in truth, they won a game - that doesn't make them "the top team". It's a long season.

          I'm sure impressed with Josh Allen though. He's both accurate and strong-armed. I hope Herbert doesn't start running recklessly like Allen does.

              One thing I don't want to hear anymore is how Chargers home games are "taken over" by other teams fans. The Bills Mafia seemed to outnumber the Rams fans about 5 to 1. Yes the defending Super Bowl Champion Rams fans that is. They out cheered them at about a 10 - 1 clip too (even when the game was close). Even Tirico said at one point something like......"well there are the Rams fans finally making some noise...." Short lived as I recall.

              Everyone travels to LA it seems. With Hollywood and Disneyland, cheap airfares and an easy place to find accommodations.....it is THE place to come.......

                lol I wouldn’t say that! We’re probably the only team, if healthy, that can take them.

                  I don’t know man; he’s like Big Ben on steroids. Dude is a monster. If anyone is getting hurt by him running it’s going to be the defender.

                    Don't kid yourself, any player can get injured. That's exactly why RB's have such short careers. We've all seen super strong RB's that run over people but eventually their career is shortened.

                      He’s been running like this for 4 years. At some point it will definitely catch up to him. But in the meantime, he sure is one heck of a tough SOB to bring down.

                        SoCal is the transplant capital of the US. Even without traveling fans, there will always be a strong contingent of opposing fans at SoFi that are simply transplanted residents of LA, OC, etc. That’s just a reality that won’t ever change. Arrowhead has always been filled with mostly KC fans - because it’s simply not a popular destination for folks to move. Winning will help, but even then it can’t fully overcome the demographics. Even when the Lakers were winning all those championships, there would always be a noticeable contingent of opposing fans in the stands - esp when Boston came to town.

                          I sure don’t want to see a called QB run if we’re up by 21 midway thru Q4
