Rams stuff Seahawks in overtime
• By Jim Thomas

As defensive tackle Michael Brockers put it in a jubilant Rams postgame locker room, Seattle's Russell Wilson is a better quarterback than predictor.
It was Wilson who tweeted Saturday that the Seahawks would be 1-0 after their season opener against St. Louis on Sunday at the Edward Jones Dome.
Thanks to a 37-yard field goal by Greg Zuerlein, followed by a fourth-down stand by the St. Louis defense, Wilson's record as a predictor in 2015 fell to 0-1.
In their first overtime game to start a season since 2001, the Rams outlasted the two-time defending NFC champions 34-31. A total of 51,792 tickets were distributed in the 66,000-seat Edward Jones Dome. Perhaps 40,000 to 45,000 people were in the stands for what could be the final Rams season in St. Louis.
"As a team, I think we just finished up the game," said Rams defensive end Robert Quinn, who accounted for two of the Rams' six sacks. "We started off hot. Seattle made great plays on both sides of the ball to get themselves back into the game."
And after squandering a 24-13 lead in the fourth quarter, the Rams found themselves trailing 31-24 on a Cary Williams sack, forced, fumble, and touchdown return with just 4 minutes 39 seconds left to play.
We've seen this one before. Right? Cue up the "Same old sorry (bleep) Rams" chorus.
Not this time. Tight end Lance Kendricks, who had only one catch for five yards in the first 59 minutes of regulation, got behind Seahawks safety Dion Bailey for a 37-yard TD catch with 53 seconds remaining to send the game into overtime tied 31-all.
Then Seattle coach Pete Carroll outsmarted himself again. Roundly criticized after throwing a pass (which was intercepted) instead of running Marshawn Lynch from the 1 in last season's Super Bowl loss to New England, Carroll tried an onside kick to open overtime. Never mind that he has the league's reigning leaders in scoring defense and total defense.
Actually, as Carroll explained afterwards, it was supposed to be a 30-yard pooch kickoff, not a traditional onside kick. In any event, Rams wide receiver Bradley Marquez, a former baseball outfielder in the Mets' organization, scooped up the short pop fly from Seahawks place-kicker Steven Hauschka giving the Rams' possession.
"We just didn't execute there," Carroll said. "That is not what was supposed to happen. . . .We were kicking the ball way down the field."
Or at least that was supposed to be the plan. One first down later came the Zuerlein field goal, and then the Rams' fourth-down stop in which Brockers and fellow D-tackle Aaron Donald stopped Marshawn Lynch shy of the first-down marker on fourth-and-1 from the St. Louis 42.
"It's fourth down, who (else) are they going to go to?" Brockers said. "I think they kind of know what happens when you don't give Lynch the ball, so we knew it was going to him."
The Rams got some Tavon Austin magic in the form of two touchdowns, including an electrifying 74-yard put return that gave them a 24-13 late in the third quarter. But then came 18 consecutive Seattle points.
Just as it looked like things didn't finish well for the Rams, things didn't start well either. The first possession of the Foles era began at the St. Louis 12. The first two Rams' offensive plays of 2015 went backwards. Then there was a false start penalty on rookie left guard Jamon Brown.
So about the best thing that could be said for the series when Johnny Hekker lined up to punt is that the Rams avoided a safety. Things got immediately worse when Seattle rookie Tyler Lockett, fielded the Hekker punt at his 43, raced up the middle, and didn't stop until he was 57 yards down field _ in the end zone for a Seattle touchdown.
Lockett, from Kansas State, had returned both a punt and a kickoff for a score in the preseason. It was the first punt return for a TD allowed by the Rams during the Jeff Fisher tenure in St. Louis.
The Rams offense had an answer on their next possession, driving 80 yards on nine plays for a touchdown.
Tight end Jared Cook, a favorite target of Foles early in training camp, caught passes of 22 and 20 yards. Benny Cunningham, starting at running back with both Todd Gurley and Tre Mason on the pregame inactive list, added 17 yards with extra effort on a third-and-15 screen pass.
On the first play of the second quarter, Austin lined up in the backfield, started up the middle, then cut back to his left for a touchdown. That tied the game 7-7. The Rams took the lead 10-7 midway through the second quarter following a Trumaine Johnson interception of a poorly thrown ball by Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson.
The Rams took over at the Seattle 26, but had to settle for a Zuerlein field goal, in part because of a holding call against Rams left tackle Greg Robinson. It was a rough opening for Robinson, who also gave up a sack in the first quarter and half.
The Rams, who lost Johnson to a possible concussion later in the half, came to play defensively. They gang-tackled running back Lynch and harassed Wilson with first half sacks by Donald, Lamarcus Joyner, and Quinn.
Wilson completed 13 of 16 in the opening half, with almost all of them coming on quick throws. Three-step drops were the order of the day for Seattle.
Seattle tied 10-10 the game on a Hauschka field goal to end the half, then took a 13-10 lead early in the third quarter following a Rams turnover. Foles appeared to be not ready for a shotgun snap by Tim Barnes, making just his fifth career start at center. The ball bounced off Foles' hands as was recovered by Seattle.
The Seahawks took over on the St. Louis 39, but once again were unable to get in the end zone. A hard-hit by safety T. J. McDonald on third-and-2 kept Seahawks tight end Jimmy Graham shy of the first down marker, resulting in a 27-yard field goal.
But Seattle's lead didn't last long. The Rams marched 80 yards on just six plays (plus two Seattle penalties) for a go-ahead TD. Foles completed passes of 16 yards to Kenny Britt and 30 to Cook, and also scrambled nine yards.
On first-and-goal from the Seattle 1, Foles strolled in on a keeper for his first rushing TD as a Ram and his fifth in the NFL.
The lead swelled to 24-13 on Austin's punt return after a three-and-out by the Rams defense. But early in the fourth quarter, going to a no-huddle effectively, Seattle finally got its first TD against the St. Louis defense. A seven-yard pass from Wilson to Graham, plus a 2-point conversion run by Lynch narrowed the St. Louis lead to 24-21 with 12:04 to play in the fourth quarter.
And following an Isaiah Pead lost fumble deep in Seattle territory, the Seahawks were able to march inside the Rams' red zone for a game-tying field goal by Hauschka with 4:46 left.
From there, things were just starting to get interesting.

Hochman: Rams' success is a reprieve for fans
• By Benjamin Hochman
http://www.stltoday.com/sports/columns/ ... 391b7.html
After talking with the big man upstairs, Father Leo Spezia talked to the big men downstairs.
Presumably doing double duty on a Sunday, the Rams’ team chaplain emerged from the winning locker room, wearing a white collar and a wide smile.
“They made some mistakes, young team, but they bounced back and didn’t give up,” Father Leo said after speaking to the team. “And the fans were behind them today, and I think that’s really important, especially with things going on the way they are, with the possible stadium or not staying.”
At this point, Father Leo and friends might be the only ones who can save the Rams. Sadly, I don’t think St. Louis has a prayer to keep this particular franchise. Never has there been a need for a Hail Mary more in football. It all just stinks.
Yet after Sunday’s results, here’s the latest cruel twist to St. Louis — the Rams are actually, finally good.
It would be so much easier if the Rams were just, you know, the Rams. Instead, they defeated the defending conference champs — St. Louis 34, Seattle 31 — in overtime.
The Rams’ Nick Foles reminded us that quarterback is the most important job in all of sports, and he can play that position not just competently, but potently. And the defense! A ravenous, Ravens-like defense at the Edward Jones Dome, one that allowed only 16 points, one that won the game by stuffing Marshawn Lynch on fourth down.
Asked about the Rams fans — the scattered tens of thousands at the Dome, and those watching at home — defensive end Robert Quinn said: “Hopefully people don’t quit on on us just yet; we’ve got a lot more to prove.”
Psychologically, it’s already been tough enough to deal with the impending move, and now St. Louisans have to deal with the tease that the Rams are an impending playoff team.
There are many St. Louis Rams fans, sure, but this year, for the first time, fans have had to break it down: Yes, I’m a fan of St. Louis, but am I still a fan of the Rams? Do I want to pay my hard-earned money to go watch and support a franchise that’s trying to move?
I’m sure many of you experienced this Sunday: That giddy moment when you pull on your Rams jersey or you walk through the stadium doors or settle into the soft spot on your sofa and it hits you — dang it, they’re trying to leave St. Louis! Why should I even go through this?
But even if it’s reluctant, we still care. You remember you’re fans of St. Louis, and those guys out there played so hard Sunday for your city (Sack City, at that). You love football. You love that delirious feeling of indecipherably screaming after a touchdown. You hold on to the fact that there’s still a chance the Rams could stay. You know you can only worry about the present. And you feel connected to the past, too, because you felt that tingle in your body when Orlando Pace was introduced at the Dome during the game — and when the one fan reached up to the suite to shake the great lineman’s hand, you felt as if that fan were shaking Pace’s hand for all of St. Louis.
This is still a football town, even if it won’t be a Rams town.
Also, there’s a sentiment out there that it’s important to show up to games if only to show the NFL that St. Louis cares about football. My uncle, a lifelong St. Louisan, had this idea: Someone should organize a huge watch party one fall Sunday, and host it at the site of the potential new stadium. Make it an event. Have St. Louis’ staples of food, drinks and bands. And have huge screens to watch all the other NFL games, in efforts to show the NFL that St. Louis does care about football — but doesn’t want to support a team that doesn’t care about St. Louis.
It’s not the worst idea. But the problem is, we want to watch the Rams this fall if they’re winning. We’ve invested so much into fandom that we’ve got to see this through, we’ve got to be on board if these guys are going to indeed be good.
“We’re a contender,” said the Rams’ Aaron Donald, who made the final tackle of the game. “Sky’s the limit for this team.”
Here’s what I liked:
The poise of Foles, seldom forcing a play. He threw it out of bounds when necessary and gambled when it was optimal — notably when he was being sacked in the fourth but tossed the ball over to Benny Cunningham for 7 yards.
The resilience, when the Seahawks took a 24-13 Rams lead and flipped it into a 31-24 Seattle lead … in the fourth quarter, too.
Those plays when Tavon Austin became Tavon Awesome.
And this fact: Be it Foles, Quinn or coach Jeff Fisher, numerous Rams weren’t satisfied with “just” winning the game; on the contrary, they said there is much to improve upon, an honest and humble perspective after beating a team that played in the past two Super Bowls.
“We did a great job when adversity hit, because it did, several times,” Foles said. “We stuck together and leaned on each other, and that’s what it’s going to take to win in the NFL. And to me, that’s Ram football.”
Wait, Rams football has an identity?
When the game ended — and what a cool way for a game to end! — Fisher jogged (possibly floated) toward the stands, hands raised, thumbs up.
It’s been quite a summer for everyone who cares about the St. Louis Rams. For Fisher, it’s tough enough just to be a head coach in this league, let alone with LA looming.
And for a day, they were winners. And they didn’t beat just any team. They beat the Seahawks.
A half-hour later, I privately asked Fisher to describe that moment with the fans.
“Our fans, our fans were in it,” the coach said. “They were into it, it was great. And that’s what we said: ‘We’re going to play good football, so come watch us,’ and they did. ...
“It’s an emotional game. And it’s a long game. Overtime wins are special. They’re different. They’re special. It’s over, you win.”
Fisher snapped his fingers to make his point — just like that, it can be over.

Rams are hard to predict for Seahawks
• By Jim Thomas
http://www.stltoday.com/sports/football ... 092ee.html
As defensive tackle Michael Brockers and his fellow Rams view it, Seattle’s Russell Wilson is a better quarterback than predictor.
It was Wilson, after all, who tweeted on Saturday: 1-0. #GoHawks
Did the Rams notice that tweet?
“Absolutely,” offensive guard Rodger Saffold said.
Did it fire up the Rams?
“Absolutely,” Saffold replied. “We kind of took that as a shot.”
And as Saffold noted, “He had a 50 percent chance of being right. He just ended up being wrong.”
Thanks to a 37-yard field goal by Greg Zuerlein, followed by a fourth-down stand by the St. Louis defense, Wilson’s record as a prognosticator in 2015 fell to, uh, 0-1.
In their first overtime game to start a season since 2001, the Rams outlasted the two-time defending NFC champions 34-31 Sunday at the Edward Jones Dome.
The Rams talked about the tweet before the game, mainly amongst themselves. It might not have helped Brockers and fellow defensive tackle Aaron Donald stop Marshawn Lynch on fourth down in overtime for the win. Then again, it didn’t hurt.
“He’s a great quarterback,” defensive end Chris Long said. “But he’s not like a Chris Berman — like the Swami — he’s not like that. He’s not a great predictor.”
Brockers was a little more blunt in his tweet assessment:
“The victory is a lot more sweeter kinda shoving that back in his mouth,” Brockers said. “You see that, and you’re like, ‘OK, not gonna tweet back. We’re not gonna say anything. We’re just gonna let the football speak for itself.’ I think that’s what we did today.”
Maybe so, but late in regulation, it looked like Wilson was going to be a gridiron Nostradamus.
Cornerback Cary Williams, a new member of Seattle’s Legion of Boom, came in unblocked on a blindside blitz, knocked the ball out before Rams quarterback Nick Foles could release it, scooped up the fumble and ran 8 yards into the end zone for a score.
That play capped an 18-0 run by Seattle that turned a 24-13 Rams lead into a 31-24 Seahawks advantage with 4:39 to play.
We’ve seen this one before. Right? Cue up the “Same old sorry (bleep) Rams” chorus.
Not this time. Tight end Lance Kendricks, who had only one catch for 5 yards in the first 59 minutes of regulation, got behind Seahawks safety Dion Bailey for a 37-yard TD catch with 53 seconds remaining to send the game into overtime tied 31-all.
“(Bailey) just kind of sat on it,” Kendricks said, football jargon meaning Bailey was expecting a short pass. “I don’t think he thought I was gonna run a ‘go’ route. I just ran by him; I think he tried to grab me and just fell.”
Kendricks wasn’t necessarily the No. 1 option on that play. He said the Rams simply try to look for favorable matchups in such situations. Quarterback Nick Foles saw the shorter, inexperienced Bailey on Kendricks and gave it a shot.
Then Seattle coach Pete Carroll outsmarted himself again to start overtime. Roundly criticized after throwing a pass (which was intercepted) instead of running Marshawn Lynch from the 1 in last season’s Super Bowl loss to New England, Carroll tried an onside kick to open overtime. Never mind that he has the league’s reigning leader in scoring defense and total defense.
Actually, as Carroll explained afterward, it was supposed to be about a 30-yard pooch kickoff, not a traditional onside kick. In any event, Rams wide receiver Bradley Marquez, a former baseball outfielder in the Mets’ organization, scooped up the short pop fly from Seahawks place-kicker Steven Hauschka, giving the Rams’ possession.
“We just didn’t execute there,” Carroll said. “That is not what was supposed to happen. ... We were kicking the ball way down the field.”
At least that was supposed to be the plan. The Rams took over on the Seattle 49, and a first down and some change later, Zuerlein kicked his fifth game-winning field goal as a Ram.
By league rule, unless the first possession of overtime results in a touchdown, the other team gets at least one possession. So the Rams weren’t quite out of the woods.
Seattle was maybe 10 yards shy from reasonable field-goal range after taking the ensuing kickoff and faced a fourth-and-1 from the St. Louis 42 with just over 9 minutes to go in overtime.
“It’s fourth down,” Brockers said. “Who they gonna go to?”
Ghostbusters?
No, Lynch.
“I think they kind of know what happens when you don’t give Lynch the ball,” Brockers said, referring to last season’s Super Bowl. “We knew it was going to him.”
Brockers had blown a gap assignment earlier in the game, leading to a successful Seattle play. He told his defensive coaches to trust him, to make that same alignment-assignment call again. Brockers did, in fact, get another chance on the fourth-down play and did his job this time, and then some.
He rocked Lynch in the backfield, then got some help from Donald for a 1-yard loss to end the game.
“Michael Brockers knocked him back, and I was able to jump on him and clean it up,” said Donald, who also had two of the Rams’ six sacks.
The upset victory left coach Jeff Fisher speechless. Well, almost.
“I don’t know what to say,” Fisher said. “That was great. It was a tremendous effort. ... We didn’t play particularly well. We did the things that cost you games: the penalties, the turnovers, those kinds of things. But we overcame them, which is pretty good considering we’re the youngest team in the league again.”
Actually, the Rams had only four penalties for 30 yards, which is nothing for them. But they did lose three fumbles and finished minus-2 in the all-important takeaway-giveaway category. Usually you don’t win when you’re minus-2.
Usually you don’t win when you give up 18 consecutive points in less than a quarter, and 10 points in a span of seven seconds in the fourth quarter.
As Rams defensive end William Hayes put it: “This is one that a couple years ago we would’ve lost. Last couple years we would’ve lost. But we’re just believing in each other right now.
“Nick Foles, he’s the difference-maker right now. He’s got everybody in this locker room believing. We’re gonna have adversity, but he was telling me, ‘I’ll win some games.’”
Now, that’s a prediction.

Rams notes: Small but loud crowd cheers on Rams
• By Jim Thomas
http://www.stltoday.com/sports/football ... 38081.html
Earlier in the week, Rams officials said they would be ecstatic if they ended up with 45,000 tickets distributed and 40,000 fans in the stands for Sunday’s season opener against Seattle.
But there must have been a late surge in ticket sales, or more action than anticipated on the secondary market — StubHub, etc. — because the team announced that 51,792 tickets were distributed for the contest, a 34-31 Rams overtime victory.
“Tickets distributed” represents the number of tickets sold or given away. It does not represent the number of fans in the stands, which probably numbered around 45,000 in the 66,000-seat Edward Jones Dome.
Even with the larger-than-expected turnout, it was still the smallest crowd for a home opener since the Rams moved to St. Louis in 1995. The next-smallest crowd for a home opener was in 2010, when 52,440 tickets were distributed for the Rams’ 17-13 loss to Arizona.
The largest crowd to see a Rams regular-season home opener in St. Louis was in 2001, when 66,046 was the announced attendance for a 42-10 triumph over Miami. The Rams were in the midst of their Greatest Show on Turf run at the time.
It was actually Game 3 of the season for the Super Bowl-bound Rams that season, with the team winning its first two games on the road against Philadelphia and San Francisco in contests sandwiched around an off-weekend because of the 9-11 terrorist attacks.
Although smaller in numbers, those who came Sunday made their presence felt.
“They were very loud,” defensive end Chris Long said. “I didn’t know the numbers. Somebody made a comment that there weren’t a ton of people there, but it sounded like 60,000 to me.”
Owner Stan Kroenke’s plans to move the team to Los Angeles has depressed the market to the point where only the hardcore fans are expected to show up this season. The fact that the Rams haven’t had a winning season since 2003 and went winless this preseason doesn’t help, either.
After the game ended with a dramatic overtime victory, several Rams stopped by the stands to slap hands or otherwise acknowledge the fans. Even though his day ended early with a knee injury, defensive end Eugene Sims borrowed a large Rams flag from a team employee and waved it to the fans.
“I was just showing appreciation to the fans,” Sims said. “They were part of the big win, and I had to let ’em know that they were part of the game, too. Hopefully, they’ll spread the word and they can come fill the dome in two weeks.”
After a road game at Washington this coming Sunday, the Rams return home Sept. 27 against Pittsburgh.
TAVON TIME
Tavon Austin ended the game with only 15 yards of offense, but he had a huge impact on the outcome. His 16-yard touchdown run on the first play of the second quarter gave the Rams their first points of the day, tying the score at 7-7, on a play in which he cut back to the left.
“It was an up-the-middle play,” he said. “I saw how the defense was flowing, they’re a fast-flow team. I had a great block by Stedman (Bailey).”
Late in the third quarter, Austin gave the Rams a 24-13 lead on a 75-yard punt return for a TD in which he tight-roped the left sideline to reach the end zone. A lot of teams don’t punt the ball directly to Austin, but Seahawks punter Jon Ryan did and paid for it.
“When I looked down (the field), nobody was right there,” Austin said. “I had to cut back, make a couple miss, had a couple blocks, and that was all it was about.”
INJURY UPDATE
Against Seattle, the Rams lost cornerback Trumaine Johnson to a concussion, and Sims and special teams ace Chase Reynolds to knee injuries. Sims is scheduled for an MRI exam Monday. Running back Tre Mason tested his sore hamstring during warmups but was placed on the inactive list. Also inactive were RB Todd Gurley, LB Daren Bates, WR Brian Quick, QB Sean Mannion and offensive linemen Andrew Donnal and Darrell Williams.

Special teams rally after slow start vs. Seahawks
• By Joe Lyons
http://www.stltoday.com/sports/football ... 9d608.html
Sunday’s season opener against the Seahawks didn’t start all that well for the Rams’ special teams as Tyler Lockett, a rookie from Kansas State, returned the Rams’ first punt of the season 57 yards to help Seattle go up 7-0.
But the Rams’ special-teamers shook it off and improved throughout the game, playing a major role in the team’s 34-31 overtime win over the two-time defending NFC champs.
“We were ticked,” reserve safety Maurice Alexander said. “But rather than getting down on ourselves, I feel like it made us that much hungrier to go out and make a play the next time.”
Long-snapper Jake McQuaide agreed: “You gotta have a short memory. We knew (Lockett) was a good player and we prepared for him, but on that one, he just got away. I’m not sure what happened to everybody else — I’ll know more after we look at the tape — but I know I got killed. Just a terrible rep. It didn’t cost us the game, thank God, so it becomes one of those things you try to learn from. You learn from it and then you let it go, making sure you’re ready for your next snap.”
Later in the game, with 4½ minutes to play in the third quarter, the Rams’ Tavon Austin returned a punt 75 yards down the Seattle sideline for a touchdown. On the play, rookie Bradley Marquez and Alexander, a Eureka High product, delivered key downfield blocks.
For Austin, who tied the game at 7-7 on a 16-yard run on the first play of the second quarter, the punt return for touchdown was the third of his career. At that point, the Rams were up 24-13.
Seattle came roaring back, scoring twice in a seven-second span to take a 31-24 with just over 4½ minutes left.
But the Rams rallied to force overtime, getting a 37-yard scoring pass from Nick Foles to Lance Kendricks and a Greg Zuerlein kick with 53 seconds left in regulation.
To start overtime, the Seahawks’ Steven Hauschka attempted an onside kick. In his postgame news conference, Seattle head coach Pete Carroll said it was supposed to be a squib kick.
“We were kicking the ball to a certain area of the field and we didn’t hit it right,” the coach said.
On the play, Hauschka chipped the ball high and toward Marquez, who called for a fair-catch, made the play and then held on for dear life.
“The things that go on in those piles, it’s crazy,” said Marquez, an undrafted rookie free agent from Texas Tech and a former New York Mets farmhand who played pro baseball during the summers of 2012 and 2013. “I called fair-catch, mainly on instinct and thinking maybe I’d get some protection. From there, it was just a matter of doing whatever I could to make sure I was coming out of the pile with the football.”
There was some confusion at first, but after review, the recovery by Marquez was upheld.
“Originally, one of the officials said the ball had been kicked into the ground,” referee Jeff Triplette told pool reporter Jim Thomas of the Post-Dispatch. “Subsequent to that, another official whose responsibility it was to rule on that, came in and said, ‘No, the ball was kicked into the air.’ So therefore I went with the official who had the primary responsibility.”
If the ball had, in fact, gone off the ground first, the fair-catch call by Marquez would have been invalid, the Rams would’ve been penalized 5 yards and Seattle would’ve kicked again.
“I’m just happy that I could make a play to help the team,” Marquez said. “Before the kick, we alerted each other to be ready, just in case. Coach had us prepared (for the onside kick).”
Marquez, a wide receiver, has earned the respect of his special-teams cohorts.
“He’s a soldier, one of those young guys who’s just extremely focused,” said Alexander, a second-year pro.
Pointing out that the Rams played Sunday without special-teams co-captain Daren Bates (knee) and lost another key special-team leader, Chase Reynolds, to a knee injury early in the game, McQuaide said Marquez has been a key addition.
“He’s a dude who’s been making plays like that every single day since he got here,” the fifth-year pro said. “He just really seems to be locked in like that for every rep, in every drill. ‘Coach Bones’ (special teams coordinator John Fassel) has a knack for finding a guy like that every year, a guy who understands how important special teams are and who really seems to take advantage of his opportunities.”
The big play by Marquez, followed by a 22-yard pass from Foles to Stedman Bailey, helped set up Zuerlein’s 37-yard field goal, which turned into the game-winning margin when the Rams’ defense stopped the Seahawks near midfield to end the contest.
“The PAT in the last minute (of regulation) was a tougher kick; with the new rules, those aren’t gimmes anymore,” Zuerlein said. “Knowing the kind of defense we have, I felt pretty confident that the kick in OT would give us a pretty good shot at the win. Any time you win in the NFL, it’s a big deal. But it’s always nice to get that first one because of all the hard work you’ve done in the offseason. Hopefully this is something we can build on.”
