Although I liked the signing, Woods was never close to being a #1 (however you want to define that) type WR and never will be. Rams will have a few possession type receivers and the ball will be spread out. I wouldn't be surprised if Kupp becomes Goff`s top target. And if McVay can somehow work his magic with his young, green TE`s the way he would like to, they should get a good amount ofby PaulButcher59 - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRams43 McVay wasted little time while deciding to let Britt and Quick walk and in offloading Kendricks, right? What to conclude? Well, I think it's inescapable that he and his staff preferred to restock his new O with other players via FA and the draft. Very telling, if you ask me. Britt's attitude was deemed to be a bigger negative than his production was a positive. Very understandabby PaulButcher59 - RamsFootballFans.com

Quotezn QuotePaulButcher59 I really think there is a fair chance that liability you mention shows its ugly face again like you even suggest, so there should be no excuses by any of us if and when it happens I simply do not put extensive OL injuries on coaches so to me, there's no one to "blame" or "excuse."

QuoteLMU93 In a TV interview here in Boston this morning they asked Albert Breer a question about Robinson and his comment was along the lines of "Auburn coaches 'warned' NFL teams in 2014 that Robinson had only been asked to learn about 6 running plays and 3 pass protections and that he could take quite a while to master an NFL offense."

Quotedzrams QuotePaulButcher59 The other question we can ask ourselves, is if Robinson was dealt with and coached properly from his time of arrival.. I think we're beyond this question now.

Quoterambleon Trying to figure out how ready I am for Snead to pack his things. But it shouldn't let Snead off the hook that easy... Then again.. Demoff and Kroenke gave Fisher all that control.

Quotelaram QuoteSo the Rams just simply went shopping for any trade that got them that cap savings. They simply gave up on GRob and wanted to try and get the best deal they could for him.
