Twitter: McCarthy on Rams "We're nobody's underdogs"

[Praxit]

Their OL is beat up. Our D is going to be a problem for them. Not saying we win this game, but it wouldn’t surprise me at all if we walk out with the W

...have to mention, Micah is due for great game. No sacks in last 2.

Your right our Dline is playing lights out. Going to be good game.

Seems strange Micah has yet to log a fumble or INT return for a TD.

He is overdue IMO. Sunday would be a great game to log his first defensive TD

Will pump up the team but will also pump up the Rams. I would have probably avoided comment.

worked out okay for Jimmy

not supposed to be calling out forum members per our rules…..but I remember several threads in particular and you can get you’re answer.

1. one was dedicated to one Rush pass to Noah Brown to point out that this particular pass wasn’t great and Rush shouldn’t get any credit for it…..was there a need for an entire thread for a pass that was completed anyway?

2. a different guy creates a thread showing a graph that Rush was among the lowest completion percentages that week…..again, do we need a thread to show this from an UDFA with 3 starts at the time?…in another win

3. the current thread on this page saying Rush sucks if nots for a great defense bailing him out…..pure garbage when Coopers offense has scored 20plus every game

these are just 3 different guys that are unhappy that Rush is leading this team to victories and their thread border on the ridiculous considering they are so threatened by a guy with 4 whole starts. There are many other posters that have been upset by Coopers success and all you have to do is open you’re eyes and read them…..again, not supposed to call out forum members by name per the rules.

Fair enough. Thanks for the response.

Without seeing the specific context of each of those examples, it’s tough to tell what the “motivation“ was, if any.

I personally don’t get it. Rush has been making plays when needed and hasn’t committed a single turnover (2 INTs vs Washington were called back, but that’s football).

IF he can keep playing smart, mistake-free football, and IF our defense keeps dominating... sky’s the limit.

Hell no....nothing like a coach having your back to pump up the team....it may or may not make a difference, but players take note when their coach says things like this.

I can easily imagine it. You don't sound so sure of it.

dak beat the rams 44-21 in 2019, just saying. Barely lost on a terrible OPI call on Gallup would have set us up for game tying FG attempt or a possible winning TD..lost 20-17. the playoff game, 8-point loss..not like they are beating us to point they are scaring us. weve more then held our own against them.

It's going to be a dog fight. I trust our offense for their regular Cooper Rush 20ish points. I think McVay is going to dial up 30-40 runs and 10+ throws to Kupp to stifle our pass rush and keep his defense off the field.

 

[Ranched]

From what I've seen as of late on how discipline this team is & MM's comment (s). I'd have to say he's finally using his brass ones.... Pens -----------> runs

 

[Toro9]

Okay .....

maybe 30 but the short quick pass game to his RBs will be dialed up, work the edges to slow our rush..that would be smart, WASH pretty much did that and lost. i know rams are better but teams are shorting the game on themselves, making things lower scoring helps us more than themselves in my opinion. we aren't allowing much scoring with these gameplans.

Hey!

It's Mike "Jimmy Johnson" McCarthy!

Add those who call out the 2 picks he threw last game but got bailed out by a penalty while
never acknowledging that the penalty directly resulted in the pick in both cases.
Peeps, if a defender grabs and pulls a receiver back in order to intercept a ball, it's not
a bad pass by the QB, smh.

Good Mike no excuses then if things go wrong

 

[Cowboysheelsreds053]

Wont matter


We have a new sheriff at QB1

LOL

 

[Doomsday101]

McCarthy was asked a question and he gave them a direct answer. As HC if you don't believe in your guys then you really are not much of a HC. Believe me this is not a message to the fans it is not a message to the Rams it is a message to his team

 

[phildadon86]

McCarthy >>> Garrett

It’s not even close. Look at McCarthys record without his starting QB.

Then look at Garrett’s lol

I love it.

I'd rather go down with the team fighting than I would see the coach and team sleepwalk through a game. Sure, the Rams can say that they need to put Dallas in their place. They can try to get pumped up about it. But they all realize he was answering a question and he didn't really say anything about the Rams. His men, on the other hand, heard his answer. I can all but guarantee it becomes what's said in the locker room for us this week. "We aren't anyone's underdogs!"

It's the kind of thing that sticks if the Cowboys win and keep winning. It fades into the background if we don't.

I like that talk

Is this his, "PUT IT IN 3 INCH HEADLINES" moment.??
