Jaylon Smith is not ready to be the QB of the defense if that happens we are going to struggle. I am glad Jaylon can play but when healthy and before his tibial fracture Hitchens was an upgrade over Jaylon.
..

He doesn't have to be. He's a rookie. Lee I'm guessing will play if the decision is indeed up to him. Don't know why people are down on Jaylon after 3 games. Or what their expectations were.

My uncle played for the LA Rams, already made a bet with my cousin whose still a Rams fan. First NFL game I ever been to, I was like 8 in Irving as a supposed Rams fan.

If we lose, I might be a lil upset.

To put it simply, Dallas rolls tomorrow. LAR should not be able to keep up. If we lose, then there are some serious problems that need to be addressed. This game should decipher the season to come.............

I expect a win and nothing less :flagwave:
This.

I think the Cowboys will have to sweat this one out. This season under new head coach McVay, the Rams offense has shown a willingness to be aggressive. They love to challenge your secondary with deep passes. I have very little faith in our young secondary's ability to hold their own under those conditions.

I can see at least 2-3 pass interference calls against our DBs for chunk yardage.

For the Cowboys to win it will come down to Zeke and our OL being able to dominate TOS like they did in 2016. Also, Tank Lawrence and the DL will have to be disruptive. They're going to have to make Goff uncomfortable in the pocket. Make him see ghost and speed up his internal clock.

Since we're the home team I'll say Dallas 27 - Rams 23.

In past years, this could have been a trap game with GB up next and then a bye week...you could anticipate a let-down...but, with the average play of Dallas for the most part and LA playing good offense so far (sure, against defenses that are not top flight, but LA doesn't make the schedule either), I think Dallas shall remain focused on the game at hand...also, a shout-out to Gurley for the bulletin board material

I like Jaylon Smith but he is average at this point in time. Coming from where he was last year at this time it is a miracle. The Rams and Sean McVay will look to Jaylon Smith to expose along with Sean Lee's replacement. They could care less about his feel good story coming back to the NFL if teams cared about the storylines we would still have Danny Coale and Matt Johnson.
Try and remember how RoMclain handled the middle linebacker position a couple of years ago he spoiled me for what that position could deliver.

So. 3 game into his NFL career coming back from a serious injury. Again, don't know what you expected.

Today they see a QB from the 2016 draft with actual talent.

If they win it'll be Dez Bryant report card ugly.

This defense without Sean Lee? You have to be worried.

Average at this point but step for step with Lee on tackles

Kind of came down to how I thought it would. Except we lost, obviously.

The Rams OL did an outstanding job today. Didn't help that Jaylon Smith and the rest of the Cowboys LBs were a step slow to every freaking thing today.
