Poona Ford at the forefront of the Rams\u2019 purpose-built \u2018Stop Barkley\u2019 brigade <\/p>\n
After Saquon Barkley<\/a> ran past, through and over them twice last season, the Rams made a big move to stop the Philadelphia Eagles\u2019 star running back from doing it again.<\/p>\n Ostensibly, general manager Les Snead and coach Sean McVay<\/a> signed lineman Poona Ford<\/a> to improve the overall run defense. To give a young ascending front an experienced player.<\/p>\n But it really boiled down to one thing: Stop Barkley.<\/p>\n \u201cI have heard that,\u201d Ford, chuckling, said this week. \u201cBut, you feel me, I don\u2019t look at it like that.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Poona Ford at the forefront of the Rams\u2019 purpose-built \u2018Stop Barkley\u2019 brigade After Saquon Barkley ran past, through…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":244443,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5132],"tags":[5229,529,121312,262,1910,73543,2444,130194,1448,2830,1311,1105,130193,7138,130192,130195,6620,67,586,132,5230,20812,68,2969,3355],"class_list":{"0":"post-244442","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-philadelphia","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-analysis","10":"tag-betting-odd","11":"tag-defense","12":"tag-game","13":"tag-lincoln-financial-field","14":"tag-los-angeles-times","15":"tag-nfc-divisional-round-game","16":"tag-pa","17":"tag-pennsylvania","18":"tag-philadelphia","19":"tag-philadelphia-eagles","20":"tag-possible-sunday","21":"tag-rams","22":"tag-rams-quarterback-matthew-stafford","23":"tag-third-opportunity","24":"tag-time","25":"tag-united-states","26":"tag-united-states-of-america","27":"tag-unitedstates","28":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","29":"tag-update","30":"tag-us","31":"tag-usa","32":"tag-victory"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115243643457712009","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/244442","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=244442"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/244442\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/244443"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=244442"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=244442"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=244442"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
