.The Rams will again host the 49ers in the regular-season finale on Sunday, but have

Effectively locked into their playoff seed last season Womens Michael Brockers Jersey , the Los Angeles Rams rested nearly all of their key players against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 17 plenty to play for this time around.Coach Sean McVay said the Rams would go all out to try and secure a first-round bye, including playing running back Todd Gurley if he is healthy."We want to do what's best for Todd most importantly, and what's best for Todd is also what's best for our football team," McVay said Monday.The Rams (12-3) will clinch the No. 2 seed and a first-round bye in the NFC with a win or a Chicago loss at Minnesota. They can't get the top spot, which belongs to the Saints.Gurley was not active for the 31-9 win over Arizona on Sunday because of soreness in his knee. McVay felt Gurley made progress during the week and would like to play him against the 49ers. Gurley rushed for 63 yards and two touchdowns and had four receptions for 23 yards and one touchdown in a 39-10 win at San Francisco in Week 7.Gurley leads the NFL with 17 rushing touchdowns and 21 total touchdowns from scrimmage. He also ranks second with 1,251 yards rushing and fourth with 1,831 yards from scrimmage.McVay also said he would have no concerns about going into a possible NFC divisional-round playoff game with Gurley not having played in three weeks should the Rams earn a bye."Would it be ideal? No. But is it something you're going to be concerned with? No," McVay said, "I think we have a lot of confidence in Todd www.losangelesramsteamonline.com , and if he's ready to go then he'll be good to go and he'll be sharp whenever that is."McVay compared the possible extended absence for Gurley to his decision to hold out the Rams' starting offense in the preseason."Guys come back from injuries all the time, and it was a long break that we had before we started this season with those guys, and Todd did a pretty good job against Oakland running the football and making a lot of big plays," said McVay, referencing the 33-13 win over the Raiders in the season opener. "You'd obviously like to be able to get these guys as much work as possible, but most importantly is the health."The Rams found a suitable backup for Gurley in veteran C.J. Anderson, who rushed for 167 yards and one touchdown on 20 carries against the Cardinals after signing with Los Angeles as a free agent last Tuesday. However, McVay said Anderson's impressive debut would not sway his decision on whether Gurley plays this week."We don't want to do anything where we're putting him in harm's way," McVay said. "But if he's getting back, he's feeling good Los Angeles Rams T-Shirt , then the anticipation is getting him ready to go. It was good to see what those guys did yesterday, but nothing changes with regards to our approach with Todd."McVay will also be monitoring safety Lamarcus Joyner after he sustained an ankle injury against Arizona. The injury was not serious, McVay said, and Joyner would be day to day.As tempting as it might be to hold out players with an eye toward the postseason, McVay said the Rams would not have success against the 49ers with that attitude. San Francisco (4-11) has lost six games by eight points or fewer this season, including a 14-9 loss to the Bears on Sunday, and McVay's past experience working with 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan serves to remind him how difficult this game could be."Just with my history and my background with Kyle, I know what a great coach he is," McVay said. "They've got some really, really good players that continue to compete hard and play for each other. So Los Angeles Rams Hats , this is something that we can't afford to take lightly. It's very important for us to come out ready to go." Time to hit the road.The Los Angeles Rams are off to the Pacific Northwest to visit the Seattle Seahawks in the first of three consecutive road games for the 4-0 Rams.So to get a better sense of who we’re facing, I linked up with Kenneth Arthur from Field Gulls, the SB Nation community for Seahawks fans.So obviously, the offense is struggling. Is it as simple as the offensive line’s play which is second-to-last in Football Outsider’s adjusted sack rate? Is it the woeful job by Offensive Coordinator Brian Schottenheimer which Los Angeles Rams fans know all too well? Given that it’s the worst offense at this point since you guys drafted QB Russell Wilson, is it going to be on him to pull up the whole group single-handedly?Defense remains the strength of yall’s team, though it’s not the elite defenses of the LOB. Where do things stand now that S Earl Thomas is out for the year? And is it something that looks like it’s trending upward or not?Some big picture stuff. Is this the end of the Pete Carroll era? It’s clear that you guys are on the other side of the peak that got you to two Super Bowls and won one. Is it time for a “rebuild”? Does that depend on how things go this season?What is the Seahawks fan base’s feelings on Russell Wilson? Is it a level of support that wants him to sign a new contract after this one expires after next year?We’ll see you guys again in five weeks. What do you want to see from the Seahawks in between this game and our rematch beyond just winning football games?Thanks to my man Kenny for the time.
