In reflection on last night’s game, I have to once again congratulate the Rams defense on how well they applied pressure to the quarterback.

If they can continue to break down the offensive lines like this in future games I think we could easily be impressively surprised in a number of future games as the season progresses.

Originally I was picking Green Bay over the Rams in 2 weeks on the 21st of October back in the Edward Jones Dome in St. Louis. But after last nights game I want to study this a bit more. I am not saying I changed my mind just yet about Green Bay being able to win over the Rams, but that game last night shows that the Rams defense has the talent to make some great plays.

And just because Kevin Kolb got the tar beat out of him last night says he is finished. Actually I think it is just the opposite. This guy took such a pounding and just kept on going. Now I am guessing that today some of the muscles he never even knew existed in the human body are sore today but he should be proud.

He can be proud of the performance that he made last night and it really shows how much heart and tenacity he has. Yea plenty of quarterbacks over the years have shown that they could take that kind of pounding from defenses and still get back up and go into the next play like he did.

Ahh yes but, when you think about those quarterbacks names you have envisioned, you consider those names to be some of the better backs over the years don’t you? I think Kevin Kolb has the ability to be listed among those quarterbacks in the future.

He does need to work on his ability to read the blitz a little better so he can anticipate the direction and find the openings in the pocket to escape. And I think as he gets more play and if he can improve on his accuracy when he is forced to throw under this kind of pressure on the move then he will show he deserves to be listed among them.
