It is no way to do business.......but it takes two to tango and his agent is probably saying "taking a hometown discount is no way to do business". It is going to be interesting to watch.by LesBaker - RamsFootballFans.com
If they wait to lock up AD it'll piss him off. That's just human nature. I agree that he will end up waiting three years...........but do you want him angry when you start negotiating? I agree on the part where if he wants to get $$$ NOW he will have to take less than he would get in 3 years. Maybe they can do a deal then redo it. But I still think he is going to try to test the markby LesBaker - RamsFootballFans.com
The highest ranked/rated defensive player in the NFL is going to command HUGE money..........it may be his desire to hit the open market we don't know. I would want to take the league's temperature if I was him.by LesBaker - RamsFootballFans.com
Franchise him twice and it's gonna cost 35MIL or so. And each year the number is directly against the cap too of course. Tagging someone twice is harsh the second year because it's 120% of the first tag year so it could end up being close to 40MIL. This year and next he is really cheap, but that's going to change. I expect him to test the market, players with his value are usually in theby LesBaker - RamsFootballFans.com
Jeez 43 that's a YUGE understatement, possibly the largest is so long I can't recall. By the way, people talk about the Dallas OL, that defense is pretty effing good too. Hats off to Linehan too, he did a great job designing plays that used all the pieces the Cowboys have in place. I like Prescott. He seems like such a good egg. But the Cowboys stink never comes off. It's one of a fewby LesBaker - RamsFootballFans.com
Several posters wanted him badly, several didn't want him at all. You know which one I was. Same with Manziel..........both of those guys were hyped as much as any QB's I can remember. Hahaha Griffin was amazing as a college QB, but that skillset really doesn't translate to the NFL all that well. The fact that he got benched quickly and could not win back the job says a lot, and look at his tiby LesBaker - RamsFootballFans.com
Prescott is stronger looking and doesn't take stupid chances like Griffin did. He's also smarter about when he runs, he isn't looking to take off after 2 seconds like Griffin was. And he will dash out of the pocket and get rid of the ball where Griffin used to just keep running trying to do something. And usually paid a price for that. I'm not the least bit surprised that Griffin isn't oby LesBaker - RamsFootballFans.com
And IIRC the charge was dropped, he wasn't drinking and driving. But the first one is enough to make a lot of people dislike him. I was always queasy watching him knowing what he did.by LesBaker - RamsFootballFans.com

That's horrible news.......I hope he has a speedy recovery.by LesBaker - RamsFootballFans.com
Be that as it may, and as much as we would have all liked it to have been different..........Martz wasn't alone in the demise but he led the charge.by LesBaker - RamsFootballFans.com
Or is that yours? I'm curious..........I think you have a treasure trove of stuff from the past..........by LesBaker - RamsFootballFans.com
Why is it when a guy has serious speed he is expected to take the top of the defense all the time? Is that always the best use of a WR considering the low percentage of those passes that are completed? I get the idea of taking the defense out of a plan to stack the box or keep a safety close to the LOS but there IS more than one way to skin a cat as the saying goes.by LesBaker - RamsFootballFans.com

What team is going to take a chance on this guy........stupid.by LesBaker - RamsFootballFans.com
He's a clumsy marketer compared to some of the other guys in pro sports. Remember the video he produced essentially telling fans how to cheer and be fans? He even apologized for that. The whole idea of pandering to fans having them choose the facemask and stripe on the pant leg is really poor IMO. Now a "focus group" and if any fans think it'll change much they will be mistakenby LesBaker - RamsFootballFans.com

Warner is the wildcard, Deacon and Youngblood and Olsen are obvious choices. Dickerson isn't in the conversation AT ALL. If I could only have one, and it's LA, it would be Deacon. If I could only have one and it's STL it's Warner.by LesBaker - RamsFootballFans.com

Rookies who are pass catchers need time to figure out the NFL. I can say "Oh no they don't look at Randy Moss and what he did as a rookie". We can find a handful, maybe 5-8 that made an impact their rookie years in the last 50 years. That's all, and so that's pretty effing close to an absolute LOL.by LesBaker - RamsFootballFans.com
More than likely the starting QB is going to miss games over the course of several seasons and having a competent guy to fill in is sometimes the difference between a losing streak and maintaining by at least not losing a few games or more in a row. I wish the Rams had kept Keenum but I get it they want to keep the draft pick on the roster. Hopefully Mannion gets to see the field in practiceby LesBaker - RamsFootballFans.com
Foot in mouth is the norm for him. He's simply tone deaf to fans desires and wants. Winning hasn't been a priority going back to the beginning of Geogia's ownership. We are fans of a team that hasn't had an owner that prioritizes winning over money and hasn't had a strong football front office for decades.by LesBaker - RamsFootballFans.com

It's not that common even in this passing era for a rookie to make a big impact even in a great system with an elite QB. Years 2 and 3 tell the tale. Same with a DB, rookies make coverage mistakes learning on the job, it's the next two years that show you what they are.by LesBaker - RamsFootballFans.com
