I for one was concerned with Kayvon Webster went down, however, I just watched Troy Hill play his best game as a Los Angeles Ram and kudos to DC Wade Phillips and DB Coach Aubrey Pleasant for having Hill ready and not a bad job by the Rams defensive line led by the Donald fellow....Memo to Seattle, you don't poke a bear!

Hill was right in Richardson's back pocket besides others, was a joy to watch and my hope is he can stay healthy and continue to provide blanket coverage.

Nice post Den. Yes, Hill played great tonight. He actually looks like he might be able to improve this defense down the stretch given how well he played. Hope it continues.

Troy Hill showed promise after being drafted but was streaky last season. I had a feeling he'd be good, but he did great tonight.

Troy Hill and Quinn stepped up big today. If we play the rest of the year like we did today. There's no one that can compete with us.

Kudos to Hill, Littleton and Cooper. Rams depth is stepping up. (I mention Cooper because he stepped in for Austin early in the season at PR)

Troy hill did as much as he could. But our secondary wasnt really tested today because of how well our front 7 played. Still I will give him credit.

I agree on Hill. He had a great game. Don't leave Trumaine Johnson out either. He rose to the occasion too.

He played well today, but he still makes me nervous. He was aided today by our pass rush being basically unstoppable.

Granted great pass rush, but Hill looked different today, right in the receiver's hip pocket, have not seen that from him before, let's hope that continues in the Music City.

The guy definitely has some potential. I had written him off due to his DUI last year considering the way it went down (crashing into a big rig on a Saturday morning). If he can minimize his booze intake, I think he will produce at his position.

Who knew that Tavon dropping punts was going to end up being a good thing for the Rams?

Well, McVay did say that he was only giving Tavon a "break" from punt returning. I think it's time he got the job back.

I disagree. There were times when Russell Wilson got sacked after holding the ball for 10+ seconds. THOSE, my friend, are coverage sacks.

Not that our front 7 wasn't dominating. They were.

But we've seen Wilson kill us when plays break down and our coverage isn't where it should be.

I think it is a combo of the two, which is why it was such a great team win. Wilson, usually has a breakdown to throw to, but today, he either threw it away, or threw it to nobody. We made him look like a rookie today.

For those who forget, or didn't hear it, R. Wilson was the leading MVP candidate this year, but it should be Gurley. Gurley should have emerged as the leader today, if not sooner...seriously. Who is better?

Let the threads start...Gurley, the 2017 MVP.

Antonio Brown would get my vote with Gurley second, Case Keenum third and Brady fourth.

I don't think getting injured in week 15 should keep AB from winning.

If ever there was a guy not named Jerry Rice who SHOULD win it... it'd be AB.

It'll probably go to Wilson even after he crapped the bed today because his running game sucks so hard that he has to both run and pass.

Still, I like my list better than the eventual list which I will not like, I almost guarantee.

Gurley, AB, then up for grabs. I would have put Wilson there, before this game. This game almost proved that he should be in the convo, it is just that we know how to play him. It also proves how important he is for his team's success.
