Rams vs. Vikings live stream
The comparisons go on.
Zimmer’s squad boasts the slightly better offense, averaging 21.0 points per game to the Rams’ 19.3, but all signs point to this being a hard-fought game that goes down to the wire. Both teams are athletic and young in the secondary.
Both of these teams have similar philosophies offensively and defensively, which figures for a close game on Sunday. Here are the five keys to the team’s success.
ADAM: The St. Louis Rams have a scary-good defense. “They do a lot of stuff”.
Priefer has a connection to Rams Special Teams Coordinator John Fassel. “I worked for John’s father [Jim Fassel] with the Giants”.
In other NFL Week 9 betting action, the New York Giants battle the Buccaneers as one-point chalk, while the Dolphins visit the Buffalo Bills as three-point underdogs, and the Cincinnati Bengals host the Cleveland Browns on Thursday night as early 10-point favorites. It was like, ‘Man, I want to make sure that I outdo LT [LaDainian Tomlinson] or this guy, that guy, Frank Gore. They have guys who can come in off of the bench and make plays for them, get around the quarterback. Kickoff is scheduled for Sunday at noon. His working motto thus far: “What’s the point of being a running back if you can’t break a tackle, you know”. But he was a full participant on Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday. He was untouched on a 71-yard scoring run up the middle for the Rams’ first touchdown in Sunday’s 27-6 victory over the 49ers, and though safety Eric Reid had the angle, Gurley pulled away. Minnesota has won and covered the spread in three straight against the Rams. The Vikings bring a 5-2 record into the contest, although two of those victories came against the lowly Detroit Lions and none have come against teams with a winning record. With a below average offense line, this is something a quarterback has to get used to, but the ability to stand and deliver in the face of pressure is the mark of someone who can last in the NFL. The Rams certainly need to diversify over the long term.
On what he sees in Gurley: “He’s very impressive”.
THE POCKET ROCKET: Tavon Austin was long gone to the Rams with the eighth overall pick when the Vikings were up in the 2013 draft. With that being said, we also know how frustrating it can be to have opposing defenses stack the box to stop the run and have an incompetent passing game that can’t take advantage of that. They’re great in their run fits.
Every week, we will take a look at the results of the National Football League week that was, and see how it may impact the rest of the Rams’ 2015 schedule.
“We’ve got to coach better”. Now, you could look at the 144 rushing yards they allowed to a Broncos running game that looked completely lost at the time and mark that as a clear failure on their part, but that would be inaccurate.
Last Sunday was a good day for DE Danielle Hunter.
“We’ve added more to his plate as we’ve progressed, as he’s gotten more comfortable schematically and technique and fundamentals of the things that we’re asking him to do”, Vikings Defensive Coordinator George Edwards said. And he’s just gotten better each week. They’re playing really fast and with a lot of confidence, and I think they are doing a great job of challenging on third down.
