RamView, 8/25

RamView for last night's 20-19 Rams loss in Dallas is up now at ramview.com. Link

* Positives: the rookie kickers, rookie QB Austin Davis, rookie safety Rodney McLeod, rookie RB Daryl Richardson, rookie guard Rok Watkins, Robert Quinn, rookie Isaiah Pead as a kick returner

* Negatives: the secondary was brutal beyond belief, especially rookie CB Janoris Jenkins, giving up 198 yards passing in the 1st quarter and 270 by halftime. Quinn Ojinnaka and Barry Richardson continue to baffle with their ability to hold starting NFL jobs and their inability to protect Sam Bradford. Pead as a RB continuing to get in his own way. Overall tackling was poor; overall officiating was even worse.

* Injuries: Besides the usual suspects, Harvey Dahl missed the game due to illness and could also be out Thursday. Brian Quick and Kellen Clemens both got rocked by big hits. Quick got his wind back and returned to the game; Clemens sat out the 4th quarter, which he may have been scheduled to finish.

* Rams host the Ravens at 6:00 Thursday. If both teams stay to their schedules, it'll be mostly Rams starters vs. mostly Ravens backups. Of course, that guarantees nothing. RamView of the game likely won't be up till Friday night or Saturday morning.
