ucial fumble during a kickoff return without talking to reporters. He had plenty to say on Monday.The Green Bay Packers running back and kick returner talked more about his uncertain role and anonymous criticism from a teammate than about costing his team a chance to beat the Rams.Montgomery acknowledged what Packers coach Mike McCarthy suggested after the 29-27 loss and again on Monday — that the return unit was told by coaches before the kick to take a touchback if the ball went into the end zone. That would have given quarterback Aaron Rodgers the ball with 2:05 left in the game with one timeout to work with in hopes of taking back the lead.Instead John Sullivan Jersey Salute to Service , Montgomery caught the ball 2 yards deep and decided to bring it out, only to fumble the ball away to the Rams, who ran out the clock for the victory."I made a split-second decision. (I thought), 'I don't know if this is going to land on the goal line, so I'm not going to take a knee on the goal line, at the half-yard line and take a chance at putting the game in the refs' hands,'" Montgomery said Monday."Unfortunately, I ended up fumbling the football. I don't think we'd be having this conversation if I didn't fumble the football because we know how good our 2-minute offense is," he added. "But I've never been a guy to completely disobey what I'm being told."McCarthy said Monday that the call to take the touchback was relayed to the return unit in the huddle before the kickoff."To be at 2:05, that's exactly what we're looking for with the ability to stop the clock twice," McCarthy said. "He made a mistake."He gave no indication that the Packers are planning to cut Montgomery Authentic Kurt Warner Jersey , who also said he's unsure of his role on the team with fellow running backs Aaron Jones and Jamaal Williams getting more snaps."I don't fully understand what my role is right now, what I'm supposed to be doing, how I'm supposed to help this team," Montgomery said.He acknowledged that he'd been directed to take the touchback, saying of special teams coordinator Ron Zook, "He said the same thing he always says: 'Call the return, if it's in the end zone, keep it in the end zone.'"The roughly 10-minute Q&A session with Montgomery then segued into a discussion of an NFL story in which one anonymous player said Montgomery "threw a fit" when he was taken out of the game on offense on the previous series and that Montgomery "ran it out anyway" because he was upset.Montgomery denied Monday that he threw a "tantrum" and said that he was "very disappointed" that the player criticized him anonymously. Montgomery said that he would like "that one player to come and speak to me.""It's very frustrating that the perception in the media now is no one has my back. I'm insubordinate. I'm a cancer, whatever is out there," Montgomery said, adding that he has gotten threats online."There's a lot of stuff that's not true that's causing me to have to deal with false accusations about my character Limited Marshall Faulk Jersey , perceptions about my character. I've never been one to throw teammates under the bus."You guys know if you guys ever ask me questions about teammates, I always deflect it. I don't like it," he added. "So it's very disappointing especially as a guy who's jeopardized the length of his career, the amount of money he can make in his career, in the middle of a season being asked to do multiple things all the time. That's all I'm going to say about that."Los Angeles Rams at Seattle Seahawks: Rams learn strength of offense, weakness of defense in Week 5 win The Los Angeles Rams’ offense appears to be unstoppableThe Seattle Seahawks threw some serious haymakers at the Rams’ perfect record on Sunday, but each time Seattle made a big play, the Rams were able to counter. The Minnesota Vikings game, while never feeling as in doubt as the Seattle road win did, similarly resembled a Star Wars scene, with space crafts dumping laser beams on each other continuously until the final minute. But with interesting weather conditions Eric Dickerson Jersey , increased pocket pressure, and concussions to receivers Cooper Kupp and Brandin Cooks; the machine kept slogging through a feisty Seattle defense. As long as Jared Goff, Todd Gurley, and Sean McVay are in the building there seems to be a belief that the Rams will outlast whatever an opposing offense can muster. And Goff’s office usually remains clean and safe behind a line that has somehow improved entering their second season together. The defense remains a work in progressOn an individual level, most defensive players have performed adequately. Surely having Aqib Talib back would buy some time so that the pass rush could get home and contain quarterbacks more often, but technically backup corner Troy Hill played well in Talib’s place. Obviously, the defense was hurt by several Marcus Peters’ gambles in the Seahawks game, but it seems that the edge rushers, Samson Ebukam and Matt Longacre need to provide more containment on the pass rush moving forward. Ndamukong Suh and Aaron Donald are doing a good job of blasting the gut, but if quarterbacks are able to drift out of the pocket to buy themselves time, the job is left incomplete. Against the run the Rams defense has been solid at times this season. The Seahawks game was not one of those times. Seattle’s gruesome twosome of Chris Carson and Mike Davis had lanes all day against the Rams. It’s hard to be sure what Wade Phillips answer will be Torry Holt Jersey Salute to Service , but perhaps he will dial back some of the pass rush on occasion, and emphasize gap integrity that could provide more of a chance to read plays and stay home; similar to the way the Falcons played against the Rams in last year’s Wildcard game. And that is the last bit of advice this blogger will lend to a genius like Wade Phillips today. Let’s see what adjustments take place this week.Sean McVay has cultivated a championship cultureWhether it’s the offense having barbecues together in their spare time, or going for it in 4th down situations where few other coaches would, McVay has put ownership of his team’s destiny in his player’s hands. Following Sunday’s win McVay reasoned ,“They wanted to go for it, so you want to put the trust in them, and they delivered.” What he really just did, was he allowed Jared Goff to take a major step toward becoming a respected team leader. It’s easy to forget that most of the players are in their mid-20s, and how easy it is to be a fool at that age. But McVay is a true teacher who takes the time to explain why and how things work to allow for a big-picture understanding. No matter what big personalities the Rams have brought in, this team seems about as professional as it gets.
