Nation FanPulse — a survey of fans across the NFL Authentic Robert Woods Jersey , powered by SurveyMonkey. Each week, we send 32 polls to plugged in fans from each team. Los Angeles Rams fans, sign up HERE to join FanPulse.Week 1 FanPulseWeek 2 FanPulseWeek 3 FanPulse - confidenceWeek 3 FanPulse - game predictionWeek 4 FanPulsePerhaps the biggest story for Los Angeles Rams fans from our FanPulse results this week was a question asked to the entire voting base on who they’d vote for for NFL MVP: Los Angeles Rams QB Jared Goff, Kansas City Chiefs QB Pat Mahomes, Chicago Bears EDGE Khalil Mack or New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara.Perhaps not surprisingly, Goff came in third behind Mahomes and Mack, something I talked about last night on the newest episode of Turf Show Radio. Perhaps surprisingly, he only garnered 15% of the vote to Mahomes’ 53%. Maybe it was the exclamation point the Chiefs and Mahomes put on Week 4 with the spotlight on Monday Night Football while the Rams were further back in the memory kicking things off back on Thursday Night Football, but I thought this was pretty low.The confidence levels of Rams fans is honestly kind of boring right now. We’re 4-0 and cranking. Of course fan confidence is high. Perhaps there’s some interest in the storyline that we’re back to 100% after dipping to 97% last week, but honestly this is kind of obvious at this point.Consider the weekly point spread results:Odds: Rams 7.5 point favorites over SeahawksTurf Show Times FanPulse: Rams by 16Field Gulls FanPulse: Rams by 10So yeah. We’re all on the same page here.One other FanPulse vote of note? Pittsburgh Steelers fans’ lagging endorsement of their head coach, Mike Tomlin:The Steelers are currently 1-2-1 having given up 116 points thus far this season; the Rams, for reference Robert Woods Jersey Elite , have only given up 67. So I can understand the frustration. Still, this seems awfully hyperactive given the last decade the Steelers have enjoyed under Tomlin who, in his 11 seasons as the Steelers’ head coach, has guided them through exactly 0 losing seasons. Yes, their two Super Bowl appearances were back in 2008 and 2010, but the Steelers were in the AFC Championship just two seasons ago. To put Tomlin on the hot seat seems awfully trigger happy.So anyway, thanks as always to the TSTers who are voting to give us the data each week! And for those of you interested, you can sign up here to vote. To be a productive member of the New England Patriots, it's usually best to approach the game plan each week with adaptive eyes.No one has learned that lesson more this season than receiver Cordarrelle Patterson.When he was traded by Oakland to the Patriots in March, Patterson arrived in New England hoping to land a place on Tom Brady's receiving corps following an offseason shake-up that saw the departures of both Brandin Cooks and Danny Amendola.But after a Week 3 neck injury sent veteran running back Rex Burkhead to injured reserve and rookie Sony Michel's knee injury in Week 7 stunted his strong start, it created a void at another position that itself was recovering from the free agency loss of Dion Lewis.The natural solution seemed to be an increased role for veteran James White. Instead the coaching staff chose creativity over predictability.Two productive games at running back later, Patterson has become the latest Patriots player to excel in an unconventional role in New England.Patterson led the Patriots with 61 rushing yards http://www.losangelesramsteamonline.com/robert-woods-jersey , including a 5-yard touchdown in their 31-17 victory over the Green Bay Packers Sunday night . It was the second straight week he led the team in rushing and came two weeks after he had a 95-yard kickoff return for a touchdown against the Bears.That's just about right for a player called "Flash" early in his career."I said I wanted 25 carries this week," Patterson said. "Whenever my number's called I'm being ready for whatever I need to do on the football field."Using Patterson out of the backfield isn't as much of a stretch as it might seem.Coach Bill Belichick said he noted the 6-foot-2, 220-pounder's ability to make plays from there when studying his 2017 film with the Raider. He rushed 13 times for 121 yards and two scores with Oakland last season, an average of 9.3 yards per carry.Patterson was used by the Patriots on some reverses early in the season, again impressing his new coaches with his speed and power attacking holes."He's worked really hard with the ball handling, the reads, but boy, he runs hard. He runs fast and he's a hard guy to tackle," Belichick said. "Like a lot of our guys have, they just step in, fill the role that we need for them and help the team win, and that's really what it's all about."That's become the theme for role players under Belichick.Fullback James Develin was an undrafted defensive end out of Brown before finding a home as the Patriots' fullback. Matt Slater arrived in New England as a receiver but became its special teams captain and a seven-time Pro Bowler.White said Patterson's natural skillset and willingness to accept coaching have been his biggest attributes in acclimating to the Patriots' culture."He's a strong http://www.ramsfootballauthentics.com/aaron-donald-jersey-authentic , fast, explosive guy," White said. "He can score any time he touches the football and he's been trying to get better and better at it each week. The more he does it, the better he gets."Michel was questionable heading into Sunday's game with Green Bay and could return to action when the Patriots travel to Tennessee this week.For now, Patterson said he's trying to stay humble and hungry in the role he's been given — however long it lasts."I mean it's the next man up. It's the NFL. If you can play, you can play," He said. "We didn't like that the guys weren't ready, but every guy is going to step up because this is our job. This is our life."
