Quotejemach without signing Donald will create a war, especially if Donald is not extended. Then, I could actually see Donald holding out and missing games during the season. Signing Suh all but eats up the cap space required to sign Donald unless the Rams can get Donald signed for less than a $10 million cap hit in 2018. Spags is reacting to the very adament assertion that there is justby dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteHollywood Ram I want no part of Suh unless it is a deep discount, or a one year deal that will not interfere with an AD contract. I can see them doing a lucrative one year deal. Win the SB, let him walk after 1 year, recoup the comp. pick. That's NE style.by dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRamBill Jordan Schultz@Schultz_Report Yahoo Sports Insider/Analyst. Update: Ndamukong Suh tells me he is planning to visit the #Rams. Another rising contender officially in the mix. Suh plays the wrong position. Wade should know this, what's he doing?by dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com
Yeah it took 6 years because a certain someone, a master of the mediocre, was there the entire time. As soon as he left what happened? The talent has been there. I don't care how good a grocery shopper you are, if the chef is mediocre, the meal will be mediocre. It's that simple IMO.by dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com
I just disagree that someone should be fired over on awful pick especially when they more than made up for it with the next pick. I judge through overall context. The context I see is that his job is to acquire talent, and it's apparent that we have talent given that we went from 4 wins to the playoffs.by dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com
Wade Phillips sure doesn't think Joyner did nothing until last year. When Wade was first hired he reviewed film of all players. After that review, he called him one of their best defenders that deserved to be on the field every snap. Hence, the move to safety. so in this instance Wade and PFF agree.by dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteBlue and Gold QuoteRams43 Solves NT for years. He was a slide 4-3 tackle in NY and a 3-tech in Indy. While theoretically, he could move...he's never proven he can play NT full time. He has the size, but Sly Williams would be much better fit, and much cheaper NT is his preferred position at least according to this article last year when he was a free agent" "Hankins seems aby dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotezn QuotedzramsQuinn did have impact the last five weeks of the season. But despite that, Longacre got more sacks relative to his snaps than Quinn did for the year I agree that Quinn improved. That strongly suggests he picked up his game at the end, possibly because he was finally over an injury or done with recovering from one (which is slightly different). That means, to me, that youby dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotejemach Rookies more often than not just don't step in. Our previous draft picks showed something but I thought the time was now? No...we need help. You all act liked Ogletree stunk...well we disagree on that. He had holes but he didn't suck. And if he did, why in the h-e-l-l did we extend him? For flexibility? We they perfect? No. Did they contribute...absolutely! You also losby dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRams43 I think a WR via FA is quite likely, dz. They’ve already got enough youngsters. I don’t expect Tavon to stick and Watkins is gone, leaving only Woods as a real vet with experience on the field. Trust me on this. Grant, Pryor, or ??? I'm not excited about Grant or Pryor. I don't see any other options besides them. At this point, I'd prefer they stick with Reynolds.by dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotejemach Ogletree missed tackles, but he also made impact plays. Quinn had 8.5 sacks...maybe they came late but 8.5 sacks means you probably have pressures and hits to boot. Plus...Quinn was talented enough to stay in his rush lane...helping out Donald in the middle. I assure you, the Seattle Seahawks and one Russell Wilson are very happy Quinn is gone. We lost two vets...I'm lookiby dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRams43 Quotedzrams QuoteRFIP The Rams have their center. They announce that they are bringing back John Sullivan with a two-year contract, which gives them some stability at that position. Sullivan knows Sean McVay's offense well and was solid in 2017. Nope, not even close, dz. WR And maybe one or more of NT, OLB (Barwin), or ILB. Plus many depth guys, of course.

He does have a lot of maturing to do. I think that Snead and McVay made the determination that they can handle his immaturity. I doubt they're crossing their fingers hoping for dramatic change.by dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com

If he hit the playing time and performance incentives that means he stayed healthy. Probably worth $8M at that point.by dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com

I went back and looked at the weight of every starting ILB Wade has had since '04 with the Chargers. He has always had one who was at least 245. Even the Mo LB has been bigger with the most common weight being 240.by dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteSunTzu_vs_Camus I can't imagine Fisher was not involved whatsoever cuz Jenks was one of Fisher's pet CBs that slipped to the 2nd. I think they just valued Tru more and demonstrated it by paying Tru 33m over 2 yrs while letting Jenks walk into a ProBowl the following year with the Giants. In 2016, Jenks was not retained for whatever reason. In 2018, Watson was not either...for whateverby dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotelaram I was intrigued with Pryor after his last season in Cleveland but OH MY what he showed in Washington was not good. His route running and hands were awful. Cousins completely lost confidence in him he dropped so many balls. I was very disappointed to not see him continue to develop and ascend as a receiver. OK so what would he bring to the team that Reynolds can't provide?by dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com
If you're franchising Donald two times, then the Rams are going to have issues with Joyner, Gurley, and Peters. The franchise tag won't be available for those guys. That is leverage lost. They are eventually going to have to pay some of their elite players or they will lose them all.by dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com
If what is happening is deliberate, that is part of the criticism. I'm extremely skeptical of the strategy of making a rich middle class and trying to win that way. I don't think there are any examples of any team who won the SB or is a perennial playoff contender that implemented that strategy.by dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotemax When you look at the draft picks they have and have not extended, it’s not an impressive performance by Demoff and Pastoors. They get all excited extending guys like Austin and Ogletree, yet can’t get guys like Donald, Joyner, or TruJ done. I know some folks will say it’s on those players making ridiculous demands. But there are too many of them not to raise suspicions that the Ramby dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com
