And it's both Achilles he had repaired. When will he be ready, 12 plus weeks into the season or next year from what is known with these types of injuries.by bigjimram21 - RamsFootballFans.com
No they don't win without Whit. Or TGIII, or JG playing way better. And probably 50 other things went right. But getting Whit wasn't pure luck, the Bengals had to cut him, and there were plenty of teams needing a LOT with his proven talent, but the Rams were the team able to sign him .by bigjimram21 - RamsFootballFans.com
While they have flaws in character all I care about is two things, maybe three: They perform like the are capable of. They reduce any bad personal fouls. And they stay out of jail. Go Ramsby bigjimram21 - RamsFootballFans.com
Well I'm glad they tagged Joyner. Really would like to keep SW but at least with the tag we can see if the little dude can stay healthy.by bigjimram21 - RamsFootballFans.com
Agreed, that's why signing a 5 year deal for 40 million guaranteed is way better than 11 million and risk getting hurt again and becoming known for being injury prone. You would most likely never see that big deal. And Joyner is a injury waiting to happen imo. Not saying rams made a bad choice in who they chose to tag. Hope he stays healthy for his sake and the Rams.by bigjimram21 - RamsFootballFans.com
While they need two OLBs that can get to the QB, NT and ILB to stop the run is as important to me. If it's true SF will be way better on Offense and with the schedule the team has, this defense needs to be way better than last year and tons better against the run.by bigjimram21 - RamsFootballFans.com
Not sure how next season will go but SW will get at least one and most likely two offers of 13/14 per. Chances are he's in SF, Cleveland, or Chicago next year. You can bet his agent has already heard from a little birdie about how much each of those teams will pony up for him.by bigjimram21 - RamsFootballFans.com
Well Joyner wanted more than the Rams were willing to pay over five years. So he gets 11+ million and he better hope he has another great year AND doesn't get hurt. Either of those happen he will never see a big contract.by bigjimram21 - RamsFootballFans.com
Happens to every team that has multiple UFAs. Rarely do any of these guys sign as their agents are telling them they can get more on the open market. Which in most cases is true. But what's almost always true is most don't live up to their contract. But with their playing years so short you can't begrudge them getting all they can. I feel the same way but if both sides agree to wait until after tby bigjimram21 - RamsFootballFans.com

Saw that, MP is 25. Seems like talking heads trying to reach to come up with why you let a guy this good go. We will see how he handles His business going forward. Not knowing the whole story Its best to clean the slate .by bigjimram21 - RamsFootballFans.com
Think it's simple really, if he doesn't sign by March 6th, he must be franchised Or he will sign somewhere else. Not saying the Rams will tag him, as there is still Joyner to sign and he will get the tag before SW .by bigjimram21 - RamsFootballFans.com
While I tend to agree with the tag being used as a last resort, I wouldn't expect any of these players to be reasonable if they can get more money on another team. The NFL career is a short one and they need to maximize their earnings when the opportunity presents itself. Now a little less to play with your teammates, on a team on the rise over a weak team not going anywhere I can see as reasonabby bigjimram21 - RamsFootballFans.com
Will be a stud on STs and a rush LB. He made plays all over the field at UCF. Just a football player with no quit in him. Very impressive young man.by bigjimram21 - RamsFootballFans.com
He was a beast in the senior bowl practices also. Catches everything thrown his way and dominates contested throws. Would love him for McVay but think they go CB,OT/OL, edge, or one of the stud DTs at 23. He's everything Everret isn't.imo.by bigjimram21 - RamsFootballFans.com
Yeah, my kind of lifting. Was a brute in the gym for about 20 years, then illness beat that out of me. Like your lifting regimen, easy on the joints. :couchby bigjimram21 - RamsFootballFans.com

Seen some mocks with Payne still available when the Rams pick. Would that be their pick if he's there at #23? Or would they rate a CB or OL higher?by bigjimram21 - RamsFootballFans.com

Other teams that the Rams will never match. MP trade ended TJs time in LA imo. Think they draft one and may sign a middle of the pack FA. While talk of a 6th in a trade for Talib sounds good the 11 million for 2018 doesn't . Too much money. Why not wait and if released offer him half that and a chance to play for Wade again. Not sure a CB in his 30s is worth 11 million.by bigjimram21 - RamsFootballFans.com
The price tag for Watkins is all over the place. While Reggie Wayne isn't an expert GM he had the Ravens signing him because they need a WR and he said he wouldn't cost that much. People here think he's worth 13/14/15 million a year. There may well be Teams with cap space (Cleveland, SF) who may have no problem paying him that much in a long term deal. My question is, if the Rams were to taby bigjimram21 - RamsFootballFans.com

I think Reynolds ,or Thomas, and to a greater extent M. Bryant from Pittsburgh would provide the deep threat aspect of Watkins . But SW in a more diverse McVay offense can do way more than any of those three. It will come down to JG.by bigjimram21 - RamsFootballFans.com
Like in my other post, JG with this off season, and training camp, can be take the next step and this will see McVay open up more of the field, and SW will be used all over the formation . If Goff takes that step ,this Rams offense will present a whole new set of problems for defenses next year.by bigjimram21 - RamsFootballFans.com
Not only that but SW can and should be used all over the formation , and running every route from any set. If McVay wants him on this team then next year if JG can improve and take the next step, then they can really open up this offense and Sammy could be a beast .by bigjimram21 - RamsFootballFans.com
While I tend to agree, the Rams must keep improving on both sides of the ball. Looking at next year's schedule, they will need another step forward in JGs development. And as most have said, the defense needs impact players at all three levels to take it into top five territory. That they are going to be in the same system next year and their confidence of knowing what's expected going forward Iby bigjimram21 - RamsFootballFans.com
