“So Jared Goff, at some point, will be pressed into duty”. After the season, the Rams and Houston Texans played hot potato with Keenum until he finally landed with the Rams in a backup role in 2015. “We all need to do better, starting, obviously with me at the coordinator position”.

Going up against the San Francisco 49ers, Keenum completed 48.6 percent of his passes for just 130 yards, throwing no touchdowns and two interceptions. Keenum was wildly ineffective, and the 49ers did everything in their power to prevent sophomore phenom Todd Gurley from going off.
While the return to Los Angeles has drawn in both of these men, and no doubt the imagination of so many Angelenos living in a city without the National Football League since 1995, the team will need to, over time, do better than a 28-0 drubbing to keep them paying the high ticket prices for those home games.
One of the things that make Jeff Fisher stand out is the fact that he is so good on the defensive side of the ball. “I’m not there every day to know him leadership-wise, team-belief-wise”.
Also, like I said each player had their shining, big plays moment and the last play of the game definitely proves it true. As much as I like Case Keenum, he is not Brett Favre.
This could potentially be a huge step forward for the first overall pick in the 2016 NFL Draft as things haven’t exactly gone the way he has hoped through the first few weeks of his first year. While the Rams chose to give out a contract extension to Tavon Austin, they may find themselves wanting to do the same if he can consistently produce like he did on Sunday.
It is only a matter of time for Keenum and he is well aware that he is a bridge to Goff.
Coach Jeff Fisher told reporters on Friday that Goff will be the backup to starter Case Keenum. And then next week we’ll flip them.
“We’ll probably let you know tomorrow”.
“If we keep improving like we plan to, the sky is the limit”, Brockers said. “You can ask it again, if you want”. Well, according to Keyshawn Johnson’s sources within the Rams, Goff wasn’t exactly Fisher’s top choice. However, what’s not working in the Rams’ favor is their schedule: four of their next eight games come against above-.500 teams teams last season (the Seahawks, Cardinals, Panthers, and the Jets) with the other four coming against teams expected to be more competitive this season (the Buccaneers, Bills, Lions, and Giants).
Coty Sensabaugh, signed as a free agent, started against the Seahawks but played only 23 of 67 defensive snaps.
Fisher said he had yet to decide whether Hill or Sensabaugh would start against the Buccaneers.
Gaines, however, would fill a glaring void in the defense.
But as hard as Fisher admitted the big move to LA. was on his players, this is also when he needs to see the best results from his players.
