Quotejemach after say 3-4 into the season, you stick with the plan? Bottom line...he would have played if he was better than someone in front of him. Maybe other than a QB, it would be utterly stupid. It's an artificial construct. They took a couple of guys with no intention of starting them as rookies, to develop. They were behind veterans and were never competing for spots. And agaby zn - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteAlbaNY_Ram I forgot to put the the link in my previous text so here it is: The NFL cap is based on all league revenues, and includes merchandise sales and ticket sales in addition to the income from the tv contracts.

QuoteDavid Deacon NFL will concentrate on growing revenues and the players get a cut. The negotiations are all about how the players cut will be distributed and which side has to take financial risks. The deal itself will either give more flexibility to the players or the owners and the percentage of the cut may be up for decision. As for fan friendly that isn't a consideration as the NFL willby zn - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteNewMexicoRam I think that was the mid 70's, centered in Missouri. I lived in northern Indiana at the time and my parents heard the glass doors on a cabinet rattle.

QuoteAlbaNY_Ram In addition to changing personnel groupings, creative could mean running different plays out of '11' formations that teams have seen and/or changing up the formations/motions on plays that teams have seen.

QuoteNewMexicoRam I think Greene is the choice. To me, the LB Corp is the weakest spot, so Greene probably is the best choice. Yeah, if I were answering this in terms of who is the greatest Rams player or who is my favorite all-time Rams player, that would be one response. But I approached as what does the 2019 team NEED.

My choice isn't about which is the greatest player, or a favorite player. It's about what this 2019 team needs. Given that if I were to bring back one player in his prime to put on this team, it would be Kevin Greene. He fits because he was a 3/4 OLB and would be productive (and very helpful) in Wade's defense. In his prime--88 through 90--he was averaging around 15 sacks a year.by zn - RamsFootballFans.com
