Speights does not look as good as he did last year to me, maybe throw Dolac in the rotation?

By the looks of your posts lately nobody looks as good.

Well, to me after September's four games, 3-1 looks considerably better than last year's 1-3... 8-) :idea:

RAM SEASON!!

So you are saying I’m not the only one who sees this…….

D is playing well. Speights is a part of the well part…….

I would try Dolac. Last year when Speights replaced Reeder the defense improved.

It cant hurt. Warren got whatever he wanted over the middle and Taylor still had enough speed to outrun our LBers to the edge.

I am a firm believer that Dolac will be a stud linebacker. He has already beaten out Pooh Paul. Speights is next.

Yes agree.. matter of time or injury

I agree that Speights is not flying around like he did last year, but I have absolutely no idea if he is adhering to his assignments. Sometimes you have to give guys an opportunity to play through it.

Is Speights missing tackles? Lost in space? I get he may not be making the highlight reel, but maybe he is on assignment and helping the overall D make plays. I would love to see Dolac, but the starters seem to be earning their time. I would love to see him mixed in if there's a game where they are running all over us.

Last year, Speights played ILB/LILB position that Landman is now playing. Now he is playing the Coverage ILB/RILB position (Rozeboom played last year), and at times will be sub when the rams bring on a extra safety.

The last I checked, the run defense looks improved from last year.. Which is what was needed. I see zero reason to disrupt any of that at this point.

Yes CierraRam,

Some things are tacit, make one change and it disrupts everything. I am one of the biggest Dolac homers on the board.....but things are working and I am really happy after the Ram stopped the Eagles run game last week and did the same against an even better team this week.

Yes the Colts are better than the Eagles in 2025, you heard it here first.

Really? Hear it first and I think the last time we may hear this.. I'm still trying to wrap my head around this comment...

Id love to hear why you think this is.... or should it have been in blue writing?

Eagles are the most complete team in the league along w the Bills imo. Colts are much better this year, but we made them look better than they really are imho. (in fact we make a lot of teams look good, as every damn game is a nail biter and taxing on the heart and emotions)

Him next to Landman is paying off extremely well. We're a top 10ish unit I believe? So the defense has played well. Even verse has been playing well. Only issue I have is with the Offense, but I thought about what you said. ALL QBs have off days, but man, when Stafford is dialed in, we're hard to stop. 3-1 looks great from where I'm sitting. Possibly 4-1 and leaders of the division before this week is over with. Things are looking GRRREAT!! And I'm going to be our biggest cheerleader here on out.

A 3-1 team is better than a 4-0 team? How on earth did you come to this conclusion? I gotta know.

Colts # 1 offense in the NFL Great O-Line, Great D-Line, great RB we were lucky to win yesterday.

The Eagles lost too many players from last year, + have the YOUNGEST Defense in the NFL. The Rams should have beat the Eagles by 21 last week but got in the way of themselves.

The Colts are a better team than the Eagles-just wait until seasons end.

Not to mention that a star receiver is beginning to complain again.. So there may be some merit here by seasons end. The Eagles imploded once already recently. They could again. It isn't a lack of talent, but team chemistry and offensive scheme.
