Center doesn't matter because Shelton is marginal at best. They can fill Center via rounds 3-5 provided they don't screw up the OGs. And we have Avila as a stud in year two on the left. So. If they retain Dotson OR bring in a LT and move Jackson to RG they'll be good. Just make sure those two guard spots are strong so 9 has room to step up in the pocket. By doing that you also take heat oby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRidgewood Ram The Snake. Followed by Fouts, Pastarini, Bert Jones When it's non-Rams it's about personality for me. Stabler was magic. Fouts was a unique MFer who looked exactly like my uncle on my Pop's side. I'd go with Marino as third, but your list is admirable matey. :beercanby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
No way as a Rams fan I would ever say anything different. Not for a coach who has done for us what he has done for us. He has had a lot of help from a great owner in Stan Kroenke too, btw, who is the best owner in the NFL as well. Anyone who thinks otherwise fight me.by merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
Quoteleafnose Should he be on this list? Absolutely can't figure where he comes off the board as of now. Agree that Rattler is probably higher on the watch list for Les.

There's no way he'd lose out to Quinn in terms of his interview. Raheem has the gift of gab, the guy speaks very well and brings the energy. I suspect he's going to get that Seattle gig, barring them convincing themselves Quinn is the guy which would be a mistake. But 4 second interviews is pretty good.

Just couldn't get past Detroit. Oh well. SF doesn't look too strong so hopefully they lose in the NFCCG but it's doubtful they can win two more given how they're gonna have their run game slowed and Purdy will need to win them.by merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteLMU93 OL as a unit certainly. But ILB > RG in my opinion. Again my hope is to keep both longer term. I think this particular season the OL is more important and RG by extension. It's been a problem for us the past two seasons since we added Stafford. If the plan is to win a #1 seed the line has to enter the season as one unit. Whereas defense needs a huge influx of talent aby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
We need to start 2024 with a good offensive line that is in form so we can chase a #1 overall seed. We have the QB. We have good pieces and with just one additional WR who can add good deep threat we would be a top three offense. So we cannot afford to screw up again on the OL. It has to be ready game one. Not game eight or after our bye. First game of the season. Defensively we need plaby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com

Unfortunately that means you gotta listen to his takes.by merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
1. Can he win from the pocket. Because that is where the protections are. It is where you can string together a long career so QBs who can do this are the most valuable version of prospects for this position. If you're a "contain him in the pocket and we can win" QB then you are going to limit your team until you're not that QB. 2. Does he stand up to a rush with confidence.

First year he had a bit of a ragtag secondary, overrated I think, and we masked all that by hitting a grand slam on Von Miller at the deadline. Year two a lot of the issues we saw pre-Von were back but for the entire season. This year he had a bunch of younguns and a lot of roster shortfall so I doubt he expected to get the job this time around. I think he deserves it but then again I'm a biby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com

Is you'll see a unit play over their heads. They'll get everything going, and guys who often cannot be counted on can all sort of find good play in that game, and they'll achieve a level of production that is surprising or even dominant. Now in that game vs the Rams they were hardly dominant. But they were geeked up and ultra physical and riding a wave of elation at being in a home playoff gamby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
So yeah I was worried too. If you don't respond well in that tent you're done. But man he is tough. That video of the shoulder was crazy, he's a guy who will play through almost anything, or at least try to. Kind of guy the staff has to escort to the locker room and remove his gear if they don't want him sneaking into the huddle. :ROTFby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
For a couple reasons. First, he might get snapped up by another team with a lesser tender. Secondly because if he's going to be starting at LT $6M should be no problem for the team to swing. I'm sure he'd appreciate that extra couple million bucks too. And perhaps most importantly playing him on the RFA tag for 2024 allows you to get more evaluation time on him before you make the decisionby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
Is that the decisions are very easy. When the Rams want to keep guys they are pretty good at doing that. 1. Try to sign Dotson. Prefer before FA too. I don't like that his play picked up in his FA season. But he is such a nice fit for this offense and if we keep waiting on our OL to come into playing form midseason we're never going to get a high seed. 2. Keep the RFAs. Adjust tendersby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
I would sign a FA at one of our top 3 need spots: EDGE, CORNER, WIDEOUT (X). And I would get Dotson done before FA. Then go bargain types to help fill out the roster, as we seem to do really well with those. I know some don't see us having an aggressive FA like that. But this roster needs it and there are only so many picks. Then the remaining two are my priorities with those first two picby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteLMU93 To me at least. They were actually 8th in the NFL this season in red zone scoring. 2nd best of McVay's tenure behind only 2019 when they were 6th. Their 60.3% redzone TD % was slightly better than in 2021 (59.1%). Both the Rams and Lions were top 5 on offense. Defensively the Rams were in low teens, forget where exactly. Lions were near the bottom of the league. So the surprby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteSpeed_Kills which team has the better coach and qb? IMO the Rams do I expect an offense with McVay and Stafford to not struggle goal to go especially when you have a Kyren Williams, to score TDs when you make multiple trips into the red zone, and not forget to run the ball It’s not about being perfect it’s about what you expect from your coach who is said to be a great offensive miby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com

Speed at wideout who can perform in that X role is a need. LT of the future is a need. But the holes on defense are far worse. I don't want to have a team that is all offense. I want a balanced team.
