Quoteheadslapper What makes you so sure we can unload him that easy? He is one of the highest paid RTs and yet does not play like it, so who would want him with his contract? There are a handful of RTs paid more than him in the $9.5 to $18M range. If he were traded a team would have him under control for the next 3 years for $7M per year. That's a great team friendly contract for a starby dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteClassicalwit QuotedzramsI believe we have a dominant D with the Ramsey addition. I'm not seeing it from Ramsey. If I'm not mistaken he's allowed several 4th and 30 or 3rd and 20 plays against him and he's usually not close to receivers when they catch the ball. He has to run up and tackle them after they've already gained 10-15 yards. Not sure what he's doing. The Ramsey effect is similaby dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteSpeed_Kills but the defense shutting them down like that no I did not expect that. the difference between game 1 and game 2 was the Rams defense Everett in the first and Higbee in this game had huge nights as receiving TEs. I thought the D would hold them to under 20. You need me on your podcast lol. Here's my post earlier this week: http://ramsrule.com/herd/read.php?19,76061by dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteClassicalwit I don't like Jalen Ramsey. All he does is run his mouth. He can't play the ball at all and he gets beat deep seemingly once every game. Apart from the Ravens game, the D has been dominant. Ramsey's presence is obviously doing somethingby dzrams - Game Time Forum

Quotespagsbacker you can still fire wade after the season. Peters is a baby. go rams I don't see firing Wade now as very smart. You commit a lot of resources to Wade's type of CB. You should only do that if you've decided to continue to roll with him running the D.by dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteDESERT RAM Would have to pay Peters next year to get him to stay and I think he was on record with Chief's that he wanted star type money. He didn't fit Wade's system of man to man where he was somewhat lost. Trading him for 4th next year was better than waiting year for 3rd rounder when their intention was to trade for man to man corner. Plus we picked up a possible player at linebacker.by dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotesstrams Would have been able to tell it wasn't a good match before they acquired Peters.. unless they thought he could adapt to their scheme, which I wouln't think would be smart, imo... They were desperate for a talent and a playmaker so it was a combo of thinking they could adapt the scheme, he could adapt, and guessing that he was better at man coverage.by dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotesstrams Ramsey is that much of an upgrade over Peters to give up two first round picks... although I was about done with Peters.. He's a big upgrade if we're talking about man to man coverage. Peters excels in zone coverage and has been a huge boost to the Ravens zone scheme. I think the issue is, Wade tried to accommodate Peters by implementing zone elements but since that's not his tby dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteClassicalwit . . . aaaand he just made the play to win the game for Baltimore. Beautiful one on one defensive play. The Ravens say he turned their defense around. Should we have kept Peters and let go of Wade instead at the end of the season? Clearly he's a talented player.by dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotesnowman The author used three ILBs who were drafted in the second round, are one or two years younger than Littleton and became full-time starters right out of college, except for Smith who was hurt and became a starter after red-shirting his rookie year.

Quotecool_hand_luke Henderson is behind Gurley and Brown. And we haven't had many game situations where we are running out the clock from a lead.

QuoteRockRam I doubt the Rams can afford them both especially with the addition of Ramsey. I'm doubting the Rams can afford either. But we'll see. I've been estimating $16M for Littleton which is a little bit above what the article projects but it's all in the same ball park. He's gonna cost a pretty penny.by dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com

The breakdown was Weddle. Remember? But I agree, our secondary with Ramsey is much better and allows Wade to play the scheme he wants. I think the Rams D will surprise and keep the outstanding RW and his offense to under 20.by dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotemax 3. We are home underdogs, we aren't beating a 10-2 team going away. I think we can win a close game if we can protect Goff. The Hawks pass D is pretty bad.
