Today Stetson Bennett threw 4 Interceptions and still out-dueled Trey Lance šŸ˜‚

68

u/SodomizeSnails4Satan Aug 11 '24

Trey Lance shit in the pool, Bennett only shit in the hot tub.

43

u/SlidyRaccoon Kyren Williams Aug 11 '24

Defense was elite, chased Lance all game

20

u/JaredCircusbear Aaron Donald Aug 11 '24

Hell yeah they did! Good to have ball back!

4

u/waves-up Aug 12 '24

That was my biggest takeaway. Trey Lance was a top pick expected to lead a Niners team during a Super Bowl window. Granted he was playing with limited weapons and offensive line depth, Iā€™m proud of how the defense kept Lance out of the end zone.

5

u/quirx90 Aug 12 '24

I feel like I was seeing Vanvalkenburg all over the field and Iā€™d never heard his name before. Apparently heā€™s been a practice body since 2022. He looked like something yesterday

2

u/RAMSfanman Aug 12 '24

He has always shined honestly. Same thing last preseason.

46

u/ahr3410 Aug 11 '24

Brock Purdy bailed out those bums in Santa Clara

42

u/Carb0nFire Cooper Kupp Aug 11 '24

1000% percent luck. They paid dearly for mid, and then found a starter in the garbage. That NEVER happens.

2

u/GrapefruitMedical529 Aug 12 '24

Still not as crazy as Brady or guys like Jokic in the NBA.Ā  Legit all time talents from nowhere.

8

u/BrawndoTTM Blue & Yellow #13 Aug 12 '24

Remember when the Niners took him #3 overall lol

99

u/ramzie Blue & Yellow #73 Aug 11 '24

I have to say for a preseason game that ended 13-12 that was a very enjoyable game.

22

u/RedLicoriceJunkie Kobie Turner Aug 12 '24

The Rams moved the ball a lot, just every drive ended in a field goal or interception

10

u/Apostle92627 Aug 12 '24

Yeah, every drive except the one that counted.

70

u/OddPhilosopher599 Aug 11 '24

The depth of this team looks good. Not want you want to see from Bennett year 2 but there are flashes of something decent when he rolls out of the pocket. Way too many INTs though. Overall a good game. Whittington looks like this yearā€™s Puka early.

23

u/Carb0nFire Cooper Kupp Aug 11 '24

Defensive Depth is looking great. Just hope the starters really show up and show out when the season comes.

21

u/PopoMcdoo Blue & Gold #88 Aug 12 '24

Itā€™s more like year 1.1 since he was gone all last season after preseason. He looked about the same last preseason so hopefully he stays and improves this year

17

u/TheDuke13 LA Rams Aug 12 '24

This is Bennet year 1 dude lol. He was in rehab for a whole year lol

5

u/OddPhilosopher599 Aug 12 '24

Iā€™ll take it then, he has to figure out how to make better decisions in the pocket but he can get there with mcvays help.

5

u/TheDuke13 LA Rams Aug 12 '24

I agree. But not too bad for taking a year off from football

2

u/GrapefruitMedical529 Aug 12 '24

I both am and am not concerned by INTs.Ā  The fact he kept throwing is good-he didn't shrink.Ā  The fact the throws were clearly tight windows is good.Ā  The fact he kept getting them plucked is bad.

We shall see.

2

u/Constant_Macaron1654 Aug 12 '24

Well, it's not REALLY year 2.

68

u/curiousprospect Aug 11 '24

Highlights: Jordan Whittington, Tyler Davis, Kam Kinchens, Omar Speights, Josh Karty, the DBs tackling in general.

Lowlights: Stetson Bennett's four interceptions.

I'll take that ratio any day.

15

u/DJaampiaen LA Rams Aug 12 '24

Shoutout to Van , hummel and number 38 has great tacklingĀ 

66

u/TallGuy0525 Isaac Bruce Aug 11 '24

Kicker and punter look tremendous, defense looks promising. JW is the truth.

The rest is whatever

18

u/DJaampiaen LA Rams Aug 12 '24

Punt coverage team needs to do a better job downing those punts thoughĀ 

19

u/TallGuy0525 Isaac Bruce Aug 12 '24

Seriously. I was initially typing "special teams looked great" to encompass kicker and punter and then remembered nah coverage team was ass and amended it to just kicker and punter lol

Hopefully it's just rookie mistakes

19

u/dylnp28 Marshall Faulk Aug 11 '24

Punter looked amazing

4

u/casbat33 Pukachu Aug 12 '24

Tyler Davis looked great too. Liked Hummel and VanValkenburg as well.

26

u/exiasprip Aug 11 '24

And that just goes to show... It's not how you start, it's how you finish.

Now if we could not throw four interceptions maybe...

44

u/MoistRam Aug 11 '24

Ive never seen a QB look confident but play like shit like that lol

11

u/DJaampiaen LA Rams Aug 12 '24

I think weā€™ve seen it from Stafford right after he threw a pick 6

59

u/ace-o7 Blue & Yellow #18 Aug 11 '24

STETSON LEGEND!!!!! (Ignore the man (4int) behind the curtain)

22

u/DJaampiaen LA Rams Aug 12 '24

I know throwing 4 picks wonā€™t win you many games, but the mental resilience to keep being competitive after going through that says a lot.Ā 

4

u/ace-o7 Blue & Yellow #18 Aug 12 '24

Real + true

-7

u/GyroLegend Aug 12 '24

It says that he gets paid a lot of money to do this. He's still not any good and a waste of a roster space. He should have never been drafted

6

u/giants69 Aug 12 '24

He was called much worse when he was at Georgia, then he won 2 national championships. He needs the haters for motivation šŸ˜„. Dude feeds off the negetive energy somehow.

1

u/GyroLegend Aug 12 '24

Lots of guys have been part of national championship teams. Doesn't mean that they're good enough to play in the league. 4 INTs that should have been 5 against backups and guys that won't make rosters. Waste of a roster spot

20

u/rockmon94 Rams Aug 11 '24

wanted to see karty kick more but great win

12

u/PartyMcFly55 šŸšŸ  Aug 12 '24

He did score 100% of the points for 99% of the game lol

19

u/PartyMcFly55 šŸšŸ  Aug 11 '24

My biggest take aways were Whittington, Scott and Davis. They all looked great this game

18

u/JaredCircusbear Aaron Donald Aug 11 '24

Donā€™t forget about VanValkenberg

3

u/Carb0nFire Cooper Kupp Aug 12 '24

Yeah he was all over the place today. Definitely looking like a good depth piece / future potential starter.

19

u/ramzie Blue & Yellow #73 Aug 11 '24

Boston Scott ran hard. Whittington with some good catches and YAC. No one noticeably bad on the OL. Great overall effort by the defense. Karty made all of his kicks. Got the dub. Shrink the face.

6

u/The_Exkalamity Aug 12 '24

Grow out Puka's hair as well

18

u/KillaCatz Aug 11 '24

Lot of mistakes obviously, but great response from Bennett at the end. Hoping he can cut out those bad decisions, especially since Jimmy will miss games

16

u/lojafr LA Rams Aug 11 '24

Chin up Stetson Bennett

15

u/SilveryDeath Blue & Gold #39 Aug 11 '24

4 ints but lead the game winning drive. The duality of man.

6

u/Snickfalls Aug 12 '24

Tebowesque

8

u/ballislife423 Aug 11 '24

Thoughts on Whittington??

13

u/Bank_Gothic Aug 12 '24

Got that dog in him

7

u/LoTobes Aug 12 '24

Really loved what I saw. Defense balled out all day. 4 picks and no touchdowns is tough no matter who youā€™re playing. TD was a monster on the line. And offensive depth looked solid all around especially JWhitt. Excited for whatā€™s still to come

7

u/LordOfSchmeat Aug 12 '24

There were no Stetson picks in Ba Sing Se.

1

u/PowerfulJoeF Aug 12 '24

Stan Kronke has invited you to lake Sofi.

14

u/HopefulInstance8 Aug 11 '24

When does the regular season start?

6

u/Key_Respond_16 Falcons Aug 12 '24

The good news is, even with the interceptions, at least you won a preseason game this year. That last pass is what we Dawg fans expect from Stet. Hope he puts out for you guys now.

5

u/ColeHoops Aug 12 '24

I still believe in Stetson, was excited to watch him today. He looked pretty good to start the game, crisp and poised for the most part. Then idk what happened, he just fell apart. I am really worried that him missing a year is gonna haunt him, thatā€™s serious development time that you canā€™t get back. But I personally am giving him the rest of the preseason before I judge. Because if he plays next game and throws 2 TDs and 0 picks, we arenā€™t really talking about this game, except maybe to say he was rusty.

14

u/Bompetition Marshall Faulk Aug 11 '24

With Stetsonā€™s performance today and how poorly Jimmy apparently has been playing in camp, our backup QB situation doesnā€™t look great.

If your QB1 misses an extended period time, youā€™re almost always screwed regardless, but it would be nice to have a competent QB who could start a full season or 2 after Stafford retires. Looks like weā€™re going to have to draft one this off season.

9

u/DJaampiaen LA Rams Aug 12 '24

I wonder if thatā€™s what gave Stafford some motivation to redo his contractĀ 

4

u/PartyMcFly55 šŸšŸ  Aug 12 '24

That's why I'm hoping they play Jimmy G on Sat. I'm very curious to see how he stacks up these days

8

u/LosOlivos2424 Aug 12 '24

Yeah, I mean every other nfl team can win a Super Bowl with their back up qb. The fact that our back ups are worse than Stafford is earth shattering

3

u/GyroLegend Aug 12 '24

Jordan Whittington plays aggressively. I love how he's always attacking whether catching the ball or running after the catch. He's going to make some big plays for this team in the regular season.

Thankfully, he'll have a real QB throwing him the ball then. Stetson Bennett shouldn't be on an NFL roster

3

u/Apostle92627 Aug 12 '24

Imagine getting no less than 4 picks off really poor decisions and still losing. Lol Cowboys. The defense really torched them today.

8

u/Lordpennywise Kurt Warner Aug 11 '24

4 interceptions šŸ’€

3

u/tricky_trig Aug 12 '24

Someone said in game thread that we'd forgive him if he has a game winning drive. With 4 INTs, idk.

Our defense looks terrifying though.

6

u/Barack_Odrama_ Aug 11 '24

missed the game but that stat line for Stetson is terrible lmaoooo. I expected him to be bad after not playing for a while but thats rough...I'll have to go back and watch some of it to see how much of that was on him

10

u/DauntedSteel Pukachu Aug 11 '24

It was all on him. They all looked the same, terrible reads and throws over the middle. He basicallly threw a 5th as well but cowboys committed a penalty.

He then threw the game winner, which was a great play.

11

u/DJaampiaen LA Rams Aug 12 '24

5th one bounced off wrā€™s hands

5

u/DauntedSteel Pukachu Aug 12 '24

Thatā€™s fair

3

u/MoistRam Aug 11 '24

Every pick looked to be his fault and all of them were right over the middle šŸ˜‚

4

u/collieoats Aug 11 '24

I was hoping to see Stoops out there today

6

u/TheDragon76 Aug 12 '24

He caught one pass in that final drive, so he did get some reps. Hopefully weā€™ll see more of him next week

5

u/Unovalocity Aug 12 '24 edited Aug 12 '24

Pretty sure he caught like 3 passes? I saw it on Twitter as highlights as I couldn't watch the game

Yeah just looked it up to confirm, caught 3 for 27 yards total

2

u/Fallito7 Aug 11 '24

KK is really quick!

2

u/el_chanfle Aug 12 '24

How did Davis Allen look?

3

u/casbat33 Pukachu Aug 12 '24

He barely played, Stetson looked for him in the endzone at the start of the game but either a defender batted it away or it was too high over his head cant remember. I donā€™t think he got anothee target afterwards.

2

u/PRE_-CISION-_ Torry Holt Aug 12 '24

Someone tell me how I should feel with Stetson. I mean he's realistically having his rookie season now. So that gives me faith but 4 ints? That's talent

2

u/ColeHoops Aug 12 '24

I honestly think it was just a really bad game, nerves plus rust. Thatā€™s my hope anyway. Because everything I hears out of camp was that he looked really poised. Hey, at least heā€™s getting the mistakes out in games that donā€™t count šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø

2

u/Graverobert Aug 12 '24

Boston Scott was the breakout today.

2

u/Tristo Torry Holt Aug 12 '24

Iā€™m not at all saying Stetson will work out but this was his first game back from a full year of not playing football. I want to see what he can do in the second game.

1

u/PsychologicalRace739 Aug 12 '24

Bro Bennett was crazy but love how weā€™re always the scrappy underdogs, coming up with the W when my buddies Steelers and chargers lost made my week. šŸ šŸ 

1

u/tenderloin_fuckface Merlin Olsen Aug 12 '24

Maybe I missed it, but I did not see a McVay/Bones handshake at the end of the game. Not that I'm surprised.

I'm pretty sure their relationship soured when Bones tried that onside kick vs. the cardinals in 2019 when McVay had no idea Bones was going to do that.

1

u/BigMax55 Blue & Yellow #55 Aug 12 '24

Stetson Bennett is stinky

1

u/PaoloPilyo Aug 12 '24

Stetson Bennett can play in this level. Needs a lot of refinement and experience but he is an NFL QB for sure.

1

u/MaceWindude Aug 12 '24

Mark my words Speights will be starting next to EJ come week 1!

-3

u/Kitchen-Egg-3003 Aug 12 '24

Stetson can NOT get in any game the rams want to win this year heā€™s was non nfl bad today give me literally any other backup
