Keenum looking to make one last impression on Rams

For now, it looks as though they’ll lean on Benny Cunningham and Tre Mason as the primary ball-carriers in San Francisco this Sunday.

Detroit Lions running back Ameer Abdullah (middle) is tackled by Rams linebacker James Laurinaitis (55) and cornerback Lamarcus Joyner (20) during a Rams’ 21-14 win December 13 at the Edward Jones Dome in St. Louis.

The 49ers did not win consecutive games this season and are assured their most losses since 2007.

“We can only control what we can control and right now, this is what Coach (Jeff Fisher) has asked us to do and we’re doing it and having fun doing it. Whatever happens, happens”. So, rather than going all of the way to Seattle, coming back and then going back out to San Francisco, we started making those plans months ago. “And Clancy’s in there in the meeting right now, and we’ve got the St. Louis Rams and we’re fully on board with the St. Louis Rams”.

St. Louis’ first-round pick from 2014 will keep the entire 49ers offensive line busy on Sunday, especially starting guards Erik Pears and Andrew Tiller.

But the Rams nearly certainly won’t have the benefit of Gurley’s services this time around as he did not practice all week because of a foot injury.

In addition to NFC West foes Arizona, San Francisco, and Seattle, the Rams will play host to Atlanta, Carolina, Buffalo, and Miami.

Another future that is unclear is that of 49ers first-year coach Jim Tomsula. “It’s also a results-based business, and we have to do our part to make sure the results were better than what they were this year”. The over/under for this game is 37.5 total points. Nick Foles struggled this season and was benched in favor of Keenum, but Foles is under contract for 2016. He has started seven games since taking over for the demoted and now injured Colin Kaepernick. Without Gurley, and the 49ers defense playing at home, I think San Francisco can cover this one. “His interaction with his teammates, it’s just something you really like to watch and something you like to be around”.

_Tartt doubtful. Safety Jaquiski Tartt is listed as doubtful for Sunday’s game with a knee injury, meaning Jimmie Ward likely will make his first start at strong safety. 500 mark. With a win on Sunday, the St. Louis Rams will give themselves a non-losing record for the first time in a long while, but it means next to nothing considering the talent the team has.

Of more concern to Boras is sustaining the momentum that the Rams have built during their three-game winning streak. “I understand that. But we have to be disciplined”. They have questions at quarterback, but if they can boost their offensive line even further in front of Gurley, they could be going places.
