LOS ANGELES -- Although the boos started early in the first half, the chant took a bit longer to get going.It started in the west end zone and eventually rose throughout the Coliseum in the second quarter after another Los Angeles Rams drive foundered.We want Goff! We want Goff!Case Keenum heard it, and the sentiment frustrated him. Coach Jeff Fisher claimed he didnt hear the words, but they didnt change his mind about the best candidate to lead the Rams sputtering offense.I would submit that Case wasnt the reason we lost this game today, Fisher said after the Rams fourth consecutive loss, 13-10 to the Carolina Panthers.We just didnt make plays in all three phases of the game, Fisher said. Well circle our wagons with the coaches and look at the tape, but Im pleased with the way Case has fought, and consistently, week after week, Im pleased with Jareds progress.That would be Jared Goff, the No. 1 overall pick in the most recent draft. The Rams mortgaged a big chunk of their future while trading up to grab the California product, but Goff hit the halfway point of his rookie season Sunday without ever taking a regular-season snap for his new team.Keenum went 27 of 46 for 296 yards with one touchdown pass and one interception for the Rams (3-5), whose Hollywood honeymoon could be finished. Although theyve got one of the NFLs best defense, theyve erased many of the good feelings from their 3-1 start to their homecoming season with an offense that has scored exactly two touchdowns in three home games so far this season.When Keenum threw four interceptions in a loss to the New York Giants two weeks ago, Fisher aggressively defended the veteran quarterback. With Keenum playing a fairly ordinary game against the Panthers -- not terrible, not great -- Fisher indicated the Rams wont pursue a change before next weeks visit to the New York Jets (3-6).I dont think Cases play was indicative of raising the question, Fisher said.Yet something is clearly missing with the Rams offense, which was the NFLs worst last season as well.The Rams have only scored two touchdowns in their last two games, and there was a 115-minute, 41-second gap between them. Los Angeles scoreless streak reached 102 minutes, 12 seconds before Greg Zuerleins 25-yard field goal with 8:01 to play -- one play after Lance Kendricks dropped a sure touchdown pass from Keenum on the goal line.Keenum eventually led a solid drive and threw a 10-yard TD pass to Kenny Britt with 34 seconds left, but the Rams botched their onside kick attempt.Los Angeles outgained Carolina 339-244 despite having the ball for less than 26 minutes, but couldnt score enough to support a defense that largely dominated Cam Newton and the Panthers (3-5).The fans expect production, execution, points, Fisher said. I totally get that. Weve been through that before. I totally understand their position on that. I honestly didnt hear them root for Jared.Keenum isnt the only prominent starter having a forgettable half-season.Todd Gurley had 48 yards in another quiet game, although he broke his longest run of the season for 18 yards out of the wildcat in the first half. Last seasons offensive rookie of the year watched the Rams final series from the sideline while Benny Cunningham played in their 2-minute offense.Enough is enough, Rams guard Rodger Saffold said. We know we have to score touchdowns. The defense is out there playing a great game. Enough is enough. Its time to just work hard. We need to find a way to get it together or its going to be a long season.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Gus Johnson Jersey . 31, the CFL club announced Monday. The team also has yet to decide on the future of Doug Berry, who began the season as a consultant to the head coach but took over the offensive co-ordinators duties in July. Darrell Walker Jersey . -- The St. Johns IceCaps weathered a wild first period with the help of goaltender Jussi Olkinuora, before finding offensive inroads in the second. https://www.cheapwizardsonline.com/1129k-otto-porter-jr-jersey-wizards.html . -- Whether Jeremy Hill deserves a prominent role in LSUs offence this early in the season is a matter for debate. Tracy Murray Jersey .J. -- Josh Cribbs was in the Pro Bowl in February and out of a job six months later. Earl Monroe Jersey .J. Ellis hit two-run homers and the NL West champion Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the San Diego Padres 4-0 Saturday night. PITTSBURGH -- James Conner doesnt care where he plays, how he plays or how much he plays, he just wants to play football.That was the driving force behind the Pitt redshirt junior running backs six-month recovery from Hodgkin lymphoma, and toward that end, he joined his teammates Monday in the Panthers first day of training camp.Conner was diagnosed in November but continued training and working out during his chemotherapy, even participating in spring practices with a surgical mask to protect his weakened immune system. In May, was declared cancer free by his medical team.Throughout, the goal was to get back on the football field.Being out there with my teammates who competed all summer with me and who stuck by my side through my whole journey, its just awesome to be back, Conner said after completing his first practice.Even before his diagnosis, Conners 2015 had taken a frustrating turn. He tore his medial collateral ligament in Pitts season opener against Youngstown State and wasnt able to return.That means Conner has a decent amount of rust to shake off to return to the form that made him the ACC Player of the Year in 2014, when he rushed for 1,765 yards and scored 26 touchdowns. Physically, he has no limitations, but to get his timing back, its all about getting reps in camp.Just getting the feel, he said. You have to be in shape, just getting the feel and getting back into the rhythm of things. Thatll come with reps in practice. Every day, I work on every part of my game. Its just taking reps, getting back into my rhythm. It wont take long.Its the mental part of the game that you need, agreed coach Pat Narduzzi. Its not just running the ball. Some people might think that playing running back is easy -- you just carry the ball and find a whole. But theres a lot more to it than thatt.ddddddddddddIn Conners absence, Qadree Ollison turned in a 1,121-yard season that earned him ACC Offensive Freshman of the Year honors. Theyll be joined by senior Rachid Ibrahim, sophomore Darren Hall and freshman Chawntez Moss in what could be a crowded backfield.Theyve proven that they can carry the load, Conner said of his backfield mates. Im just helping out now, theyve established and proved to themselves that they can compete in the ACC. Without me, they had something great going. Im just trying to add to it.The plethora of running talent has led to new offensive coordinator Matt Canada tinkering with some multi-back sets and with Conner lining up at wide receiver from time to time this season. Conner did some pass-catching drills on the first day in addition to working out with the first team at running back.There are times where youll see two or three tailbacks out there -- maybe four, who knows, Narduzzi said. Well find out here in the end. We have really good competition there from James to the young guys.Wherever he ends up and whatever his role will be, Conner feels forever changed by his experience.Its bigger than the game of football, he said. Its bigger than myself. The impact that Ive had on others, I dont take that for granted any more. Im just thankful to God. You wont hear me complain, my teammates wont ever hear me complain again and they wont be complaining, either. Anything is better than receiving chemotherapy. Id rather be out here playing football.With one milestone checked off, Conner can turn his thoughts to the season opener Sept. 3 vs. Villanova, and his ultimate goal of leading the Panthers back out of the tunnel at Heinz Field.
