OK, WE'VE HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON, AND WE NEED A TUNE UP!
OUR CHARGER TRIP WAS A COMPLETE BLOWOUT; HOWEVER, A
SUPER NEW FORD(FIELD) AWAITS OUR ARRIVAL, NEXT MONDAY NIGHT IN THE MOTOR CITY.
ONE THING I NOTICED, WHILE IN ATTENDANCE AT QUALCOMM STADIUM IN SAN DIEGO, SUNDAY AFTERNOON AGAINST THE CHARGERS WAS THE LACK OF INTENSITY FROM THE SAINT LOUIS RAMS, BOTH ON OFFENSE AND DEFENSE.
ONE WORD FOR THE OFFENSE:
ATTACK!!!
FROM THE FIRST SNAP THE TEMPO NEEDS TO BE SET.
IT WOULD BE NICE TO PUT POINTS ON THE BOARD ON THE FIRST SERIES DRIVE. INSTEAD OF FINALLY GETTING IT GOING AT THE END OF THE SECOND QUARTER, PLAYING CATCH-UP.
ONE WORD FOR THE DEFENSE:
DEFENSE!!!
HOW ABOUT KEYING ON THE OTHER TEAMS' RUNNING BACK(ONE OF THE BEST BACKS IN THE LEAGUE),WHO YOU KNOW IS GOING TO GET THE BALL, AND KEEP HIM IN CHECK. INSTEAD OF HAVING HIM RECEIVE ONE HAND-OFF AND BLOW 55 YARDS MATADORILY UNTOUCHED FOR A TOUCHDOWN. -AS COACH MIKE MARTZ WOULD SAY:
"ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!!"
I KNOW IT'S JUST "PRE-SEASON", BUT GOING TROUGH THE MOTIONS SETS A DANGEROUS PATTERN.
I WENT TO CHECK OUT THE NEW CHARGERS AND RAMS.
THE CHARGERS RAN WELL, BUT THE RAMS WERE LEMONS!
THAT BRINGS ME TO THE SUPER NEW FORD...AS IN FORD FIELD, SITE OF SUPER BOWL
XL AND THE SAINT LOUIS RAMS THIRD PRE-SEASON GAME, MONDAY NIGHT IN DETROIT, MICHIGAN.
JUST THINK, RAMFANS! WOULDN'T BE NICE IF THE RAMS COULD PLAY TWICE AT FORD FIELD,THIS SEASON, AND WIN BOTH GAMES... THINKABOUTIT!
SO I'M READY TO TRADE IN MY BAD "CHARGER" EXPERIENCE, FOR A FUTURE "FORD" FANTASY.
LET'S PUT THE BRAKES ON SAN DIEGO AND MOVE ON TO DETRIOT.
WHO: SAINT LOUIS RAMS VERSUS DETROIT LIONS
WHERE: FORD FIELD (DETROIT, MICHIGAN)
