Should We Be Convinced The Rams Are Back on Track After MNF Win?

The Rams haven't proven they are contenders because they beat a bad Giants team that lost its starting quarterback early.

The Rams looked like they were getting over their travel issues and Stafford performed well with four touchdown passes.

Jameis Winston acted like he had never seen his teammates or the plays and was terrible, though he is fun because he is Mr. Chuck and Duck.

The Giants are not any good despite having talented young players on defense.

The World Baseball Classic forced him to ramp up more quickly this spring, which was the root of his struggles.

Skenes has a legitimate case because his ERA is up two runs and he hasn't pitched over 100 mph, similar to Logan Webb's decline after pitching in the WBC.

Skenes should say no to the WBC in the future, and owners will likely not want their pitchers participating due to contract concerns.

The series is huge because the Padres need to beat the Dodgers to secure home field advantage, which is critical after being eliminated by the Cubs last year without it.

Teams should just focus on getting home field whenever they can rather than trying to manipulate playoff matchups, which is too complicated.

Aaron Rodgers tried to change protections to help himself but still got smoked, and he can't play well anymore because he is over 40 and lacks mobility. The offensive line must eliminate those hits by adjusting techniques because Rodgers is now more of a pocket passer who won't move around.

Bradbury is a guy who can get you lined up correctly but is not going to win at the point of attack physically; he manages at best. Flores' pressure and zone blitzes exposed the linemen's fundamentals, causing them to be late and react by tugging jerseys.

The scheme is complicated but can be simplified, and the issues are partly because players are overrunning blocks and not getting to the correct guy.

Professional players need to figure things out on the field and help the coach because it is not always going to be perfect.

Pete Alonso is the only player in history to hit 40 homers in his first seasons in both leagues and is on pace to win the RBI crown in both.

Any at-bat that Aaron Judge misses in October is a big deal for the Yankees.
