“We had a lot of respect for our opponent”.

“That’s what we’re about”, Fisher said Monday. “That’s kind of the difference in the ballgame”.
The Rams were pretty stout against the run in the opener against Seattle, one of the NFL’s top-rushing teams in recent years.
During Washington’s Week Two 24-10 win against the St. Louis Rams, Amerson did not play a single snap on defense and was seemingly being phased out by the younger defensive backs on the team, including rookie Kyshoen Jarrett.
Youre being evaluated every play I feel like every play has a chance to change your life, Cousins said Tuesday. “He looked good on tape”, defensive end Chris Long said of Jones.
But instead, as we head into Week 3, things are not that bad for the Redskins.
Nearly since the end of last season, Rams defenders have been harping on the necessity of getting off to a quicker start in 2015, particularly against the run.
The Redskins are going to look to Dustin Hopkins to produce touchbacks because of the Rams electric return game, which proved to be the game victor against Washington last week. After being largely held to the background of Week 1’s loss to Miami, rookie Matt Jones burst onto the scene with a 100-plus yard performance that included two touchdowns.
That made cornerback David Amerson the first player they selected that year, but the second-round selection didn’t work out as the team hoped. But to become good, you have to be able to overcome those overly aggressive mistakes. St. Louis averaged 4.6 yards per play on offense and took nine penalties for 80 yards.
PASS DEFENSE: D – QB Kirk Cousins picked the Rams apart, completing 23-of-27 passes for 203 yards and a passer rating of 110.3.
“We’re not making Kai a scapegoat”, Gruden said.
On the other hand, as far as Washington team is concerned, their offense was not as effective. The offensive line is playing fantastic, and quarterback Kirk Cousins is operating efficiently within the system. Gillmore is legit enough to take a flier in most fantasy league formats. The half ended with the Rams trailing 17-0.
Donald, named NFC defensive player of the week, and Michael Brockers combined to stop Lynch on 4th-and-1 on the game’s final play. The Rams punted on each of their first six possessions and finished 2 for 12 on third downs. Generally, you don’t see many runs of that length in a game, especially against a front seven as imposing as the Rams’.
The disastrous half continued for St. Louis as Cousins marked the Redskins back down the field.

Fellow draft classmates Phillip Thomas (fourth round) and Bacarri Rambo (sixth round), linebacker Brandon Jenkins (fifth round), and running back Jawan Jamison (seventh round) also failed to stick with the franchise. A 3rd-and-13 situation turned into a 3rd-and-8 due to a neutral-zone infraction.
“When you’re catering the meetings to him and all the reps in practice to him, it’s huge”, Gruden said. “He knows where to go with the football”.

“It caught me by surprise, “Bates said, “but I’m pleased and I’m happy”. However, with the Giants at home they are a -4 favorite. The Rams are all around the better team. We’ll get loaded boxes, and we have to answer. “And it’s on us to get it fixed”. The Foles-to-Britt touchdown came just two plays later and the Rams had scored 10 points in just 2:32.
