If you read this column regularly (God bless your soul), then you’re well aware that my bold predictions are like shots in the dark aimed in the opposite direction. That being said, he’s a prediction from last week
he five touchdowns was too bold, but RB Todd Gurley II had never ran for 200+ yards, so I’m just
Youth Brandin Cooks Jersey going to say what we’re all thinking: the Rams fans are Todd Gurley’s muse. But now the Los Angeles Rams travel to Santa Clara where the hated San Francisco 49ers pretend that they’re still in San Francisco. Most of the Rams fans are picking the Rams to stomp all over the Niners even though it’s their third road game and San Francisco didn’t look horrible vs. the Packers last week. So, what’s going to happen?Let’s get bold.Bryce Hager has himself a dayLB Bryce Hager is one of those classic underdog players that is training harder than other players at his skill level. Basically, Hager is a hustle guy for Coach Bones. I like the kid and I’m boldly predicting that he’ll have two, count ‘em two, huge plays on special teams. One of these plays will be a blocked punt and the other will be a fumble recovery. This will happen. Trust me.Greg Zuerlein comes up big with a game winnerHow I’ve missed Greg the Leg. How many bowls of nachos were thrown across a living room due to the inadequate kicking skills of Sam Ficken and Cairo Santos? Too many to count. But this Sunday, Zuerlein will mark his return by breaking the hearts of the tech bros in attendance when he nails a 55-yard kick to take the lead. Yes, my sub-bold prediction is that the game will be too close for comfort in the 4th quarter. I’m just saying that a bold prediction is that the Niners hang with the Rams until the last five minutes when Jared Goff and Todd Gurley take over. Then, good ol’ Zuerlein will drive it home with his newly constructed groin (probably not the technical term, but my medical knowledge is limited to having watched four seasons of Scrubs.)A pick 6 for fan favorite Cory LittletonILB Cory Littleton was talked about a lot in the offseason due to his “unknown factor” that is quickly eroding because the dude can ball. So, yeah
Womens Cory Littleton Jersey , he’s gonna intercept a weak C.J. Beathard passing attempt and then he’s going to trot over 60 yards for a glorious touchdown. With Cooper Kupp out, the tight ends emerge and dominateIt’s crazy how many snaps TE Tyler Higbee has gotten this season while barely getting noticed by anyone. He’s the Patrick Swayze in Ghost of offensive skill players. And while TE Gerald Everett has shown his ability for splash plays, he hasn’t nearly reached his potential. And with a week to implement a game plan without the services of slot receiver Cooper Kupp, I predict that Coach McVay will go back to his first love: an offensive scheme that generosity dishes out passes to two tight ends. Both Higbee and Young Gerald will amass over a hundred yards in receptions as they make a statement that these guys are good; it’s just that WR Brandin Cooks, WR Robert Woods, and WR Cooper Kupp are really good.Jared Goff will throw for over 400 yards and 3 TDsWhen I make my report card for the Rams on Sunday night, I’m betting that I will be giving the Mighty Goff an A+ for his efforts. And a bonus prediction: he’ll score another perfect QB rating. Similar to last week’s game, the Rams are going to find themselves in a competitive matchup. C.J. Beathard can make plays and given that he’s going up against the best team in the NFL, I’m predicting that he’ll rack up some gaudy stats, but in the end, the Rams’ defense will clamp down with some clutch stops. The Rams are the team to beat, but it won't be this week in Santa Clara, California. Rams win — 41-38.Random Ramsdom 9/21: The Battle Of Los Angeles Chargers to key on Gurley | LA TimesAfter Arizona was able to hold Todd Gurley to 2.2 YPC

Worked out pretty well for the Cardinals, who held the Rams to just 34 points.Brown returns, but Blythe still poised to start at RG | Rams OfficialTo the surprise of few, Austin Blythe will likely get the nod at RG on Sunday. He’s played well enough to displace starter Jamon Brown, who now provides some nice depth and experience as a reserve.Quotes & Notes 9/20/18 | Rams OfficialWade Phillips and Michael Brockers pay respect to Philip Rivers, along with a few other items from the Rams’ official site.Bolts Can’t Afford to Fall for Rams’ Eye Candy | Chargers OfficialI don’t think they’re talking about Rob Havenstein. Whipped by the Chiefs, the Spanos Defectors Chargers will be on the lookout for pre-snap motion, shifts, and tempo changes LA will use to keep them off balance.Phillips, Rams look to extend scoreless streak against Chargers | Associated PressSOB received a dozen donuts on his desk on Monday after the Rams’ convincing 34-0 shutout of the Cardinals. It’s not a streak that’s likely to continue, but the scoreless quarter streak now stands at 6. Addition by subtraction? Dolphins aren’t missing Suh | National Football PostThat’s what every team says when they cut ties with a great player — but through two games, Miami’s run defense has been pretty stout. Former Ram Robert Quinn is also wearing the powder blue on Sundays.Chargers will still put up points on Rams | BoltBeatOr at least this fellow thinks so. His key? The unstoppable, thundering force that is the geriatric Antonio Gates. For those of you who enjoy complaining about the writing quality here at TST... well....just read it. Goff might be going Hollywood
http://www.ramsfootballauthentics.com/austin-blythe-jersey-authentic , but he’s also a leading man on the field for the Rams | LA TimesIn addition to mounting endorsement deals, Goff’s play is on the uptick, despite all the hand-wringing about a couple of under-thrown deep balls or missed windows. If you, like me, are actually rooting for our QB to get better, give this piece a read. It’s startlingly positive.Q&A with JoJo Natson | Rams OfficialNice chat with the Rams’ latest special teams star, JoJo “GoGo” Natson. Or whatever we decided his nickname is. Rams’ defense has been brilliant, but Chargers might be able to find a couple holes | Press-EnterpriseCan the Chargers diversify their targets, prevent turnovers, and run the ball? Time will tell. Rich Hammond looks at offensive keys to the game for the visiting San Diegans team from the same city, sort of.Revisiting the last time the Chargers faced the Los Angeles Rams | BoltBeatThe year was 1994. Chris Miller threw 4 INTs, and a burly running back by the name of Natrone Means rumbled for 95 yards on 23 carries in the battle of San Diego versus Anaheim.
