They are not going to sink big money into a RB. They need that money much more elsewhere.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Yes, the Rams lacked talent across the backfield compared to some of the other teams in contention - but the description of the schemes between those teams and ours is probably the most simplistic description of coverages that I've read in years. I'll stick with Youngblood's coverage breakdowns - with actual proof!by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
The fact that they're even considering Saturday - who went 1-7 and was obviously out of his depth tells you all you need to know about Irsay. There's an article in the NY Post that says Irsay wants to hire Saturday but there's pushback inside the organizations. If I had to bet, I'd guess he just makes Saturday the permanent coachby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
The fact that this is a major blow...to their 3rd string QB says a lot about how bare their QB cupboard is. They wouldn't commit to Jimmy G for performance and health issues, granted they are legitimate concerns, but then they keep him hanging around, rather than move him for draft capital. The guy they pinned their hopes on - Trey Lance, hasn't exactly lit it up when he's played and he hasn'tby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Here's my rationale: I think the NFC was weak this year compared to the AFC. The Chiefs faced a much tougher opponent in the championship game than the Eagles. Andy Reid is a hall of fame coach, KC has the edge there. Sirianni may turn out to be great, but it's early in his career. Do not underestimate Patrick Mahomes. Chiefs have the edge in QB. The exception for all my rationales: Thby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Mobile quarterback who kills teams with his legs more than his arm. Running over opponents (268 against the giants). I didn't see a lot of great throws from Hurts yesterday. It's actually the first Eagles game that I watched. Has anyone seen if he can throw like an elite player? Do they push the ball down the field through the air?by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
After Purdy went out. They had a bad a** oline. 2 Te's. 2 running threats in Deebo and McCaffrey and they got wiped out. The league doesn't work like that anymore. Martz kind of ended that era.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Their immovable defense got rolled for 31 points. They didn't get turnovers or create short fields. The game wasn't close. All that aside I don't buy that they would have won with Purdy. 19 points was not going to win this game for the 49ers. Also, on the play Purdy was injured their genius playcaller had their #2 tight end one on one with the eagles best pass rusher. Mistake. Soby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
What's the takeaway?by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Not sure what you want to emulate? They have a lot of talent on defense. I'd like to add more talent to our d too. Their offensive line is really good. We should try and build ours the same. They are also lacking an elite QB and have made it to one superbowl and lost. So, I think we should reload and see how things shake out next year.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
I was waiting and waiting for weeks to see what happened yesterday...to finally happen. All the talk of unstoppable juggernaut from pundits and all the chicken little 'sky is falling' from some of the posters on this board wanting to just kneel before Zod. Well they finally played a fully functioning team - not the Raiders, or Cardinals or Seahawks, but a team with a good offense and defense anby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Maybe the author never heard of over the cap.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Again, another half arsed article - the new salary cap goes out over the wire and this 'reporter' decides to write a few sentences around it and not even make an attempt to see how this affects the rams current situation. Hey Ramswire - you do know that Rams fans tend to look at other football sites for basic league info, yes? And please don't feel the need to tell me that a higher cap meansby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
From what I read, he has experience running a different system. Square peg kind of deal, maybe. Last year's results in Indy weren't exactly stellar either.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
4th team in, what 5 years? I think he's going to fall into the Carson Wentz category. I don't think you're going to see also-rans getting starting gigs this year. Wentz, Mariotta, Ryan all had disappointing seasons and all were benched (i think Mariotta was benched). HC's are on the hot seat too quickly now - you hitch your wagon to a guy like that and your'e out (see Frank Reich), Even theby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Overhyped. All drafts are important. Depth is built over several years - not just one. Through the draft, through UDFA, through free agent signings.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
We were not good running the football last year, especially in the playoffs and superbowl and we won. So... Dallas lost their most explosive runner so I guess part of it is successful teams have running backs who play the whole game? Teams have stay with the run when it's working and/or they have a lead. So the stats at the end of the game bear that out. Most teams don't set out to pass theby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
This (or something like this) was a quote from McVay last year - after the superbowl I think. Some of the games this weekend had me thinking of this. In Buffalo and Dalls - the answer was 'no'. It reinforces how special last year was. When everything was on the line - in every playoff game, we made the plays we had to make on both sides of the ball. It's a sign of character, talent, and cultby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Some of it is good and reasonable, but first off - Nick Scott did not intercept Jimmy in the NFC championship. Travin Howard did. That kind of put a bad taste in my mouth as I suspect that whoever wrote that might not have a depth of knowledge of the team over the past few years. The draft analysis may turn out to be right, but it's too early to judge the last 2 drafts entirely. Bobby Brownby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
I'm too lazy to look it up, but it seems like maybe he was our DC for one season? Is that right? Did he have a track record before that? He might have been over-hyped for the Chargers job (was he really the best option). It's not like he had years of high level DC experience. Or did he?by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com

I mean, what does this guy have to do for you to cut him some slack. He's earned it, by my reckoning. He's been giving it his all every down, every game, every year. He may be one of the best DT's who ever lived. Every year he works out on his own - at home, then shows up looking like the hulk and just continues to smash. Yet - now he's not a team player or giving off a good look? What doby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
I wouldn't be surprised if Irsay kept Saturday as his coach. Is he really interested in Raheem or is this Rooney rule show?by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
It's very hard to predict how teams will shake out from one year to the next. Teams that 'shouldn't' win do (Seahawks, Giants) and those that 'should be good' sometimes aren't (Rams, Broncos). I agree that the NFC is weaker this year than the AFC. And may be next year as well. It's the old danger of projecting past outcomes onto future events.

There are some fake tough guys on here with 70's mindsets who think it's all about having balls, and not being a pansy and other crap from a charles atlas ad in the back of a comic. They don't want to hear about any nuance to life or complex emotional or psychological situations. These people are rooting for the laundry, as Seinfeld used to say, and could care less about the people wearing it.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
