Yes. I'm in the apparent minority camp on this issue. I really thought JB earned his spot by playing at a high level through a FULL season in 2017. Yes he screwed up off the field, and yes he did his time. Just can't see how he gets replaced by someone who has played only 2 games (granted, also at a very high level) I respect McVay's decision either way - he's earned it.by RinconRam - RamsFootballFans.com
I'd agree if this was last season. Not with this year's D. He'll probably have a few bursts, but Wade will do his magic at halftime and seal him off in the 3rd and 4th qtrs.by RinconRam - RamsFootballFans.com
Joey Bosa still listed as out, Barksdale (didn't he play for us?) and Benjamin listed as questionable.by RinconRam - RamsFootballFans.com
...has one and only one redeeming quality: he like the Rams. Otherwise the dude tries WAY too hard to be cool and hip and just really needs to tone it down.by RinconRam - RamsFootballFans.com
Total pancake. I'd really like to see Sean put Todd and Malcolm in the same backfield for some plays to really mess with opposing D-coordinators' minds.by RinconRam - RamsFootballFans.com
I think you have to be fair, first and foremost. JB played very well for us all of last season against some very good teams. He made a mistake, owned up to it, and did his time. It's GREAT that his backup filled in for him so well, but it's still JB's starting job which he EARNED. If he comes in and consistently plays below what Blythe brought to the table over the first 2 games of 2018 (by RinconRam - RamsFootballFans.com
Right on. My son commented during the game that he hadn't seen much from Suh. I told him that last year we would get gashed on a lot of running plays and now we are plugging up all the running lanes. I think Suh and Donald are a big part of that even without sexy sack numbers so far. Bottom line is this translates to "we not me" on defense.by RinconRam - RamsFootballFans.com
Best part was when he said: "I luv my head coach!!"by RinconRam - RamsFootballFans.com
Well deserved, but I hope Hekker was part of that discussion too. His punts were flat out bombs against Oakland.by RinconRam - RamsFootballFans.com
Yes - I was thinking the same thing - and no, he's not yet been picked up. I think we may have to wait until PC gets put on a PUP list or (hopefully not) the IR list.by RinconRam - RamsFootballFans.com
Kinda harsh on JJ - he may not have had a perfect game, but that pick in the endzone was a fantastic athletic play and completely turned the tide. And he wasn't the only one unable to get Cook to the turf - he was a tough match-up.by RinconRam - RamsFootballFans.com
Agreed. Even last year when we would play away games in deafening stadiums it never seemed to affect them much. That said, all the pre-snap hand gestures and Goff shouting whatever he is saying to the O-line and wide-outs only serves to make the place louder.by RinconRam - RamsFootballFans.com
......injuries that is. To me that is the most important number for the Rams coming out of this game considering the long road ahead.by RinconRam - RamsFootballFans.com
Special teams projected rank is 16. I think that represents a significant falloff from last year - not sure what's driving that for these folks...by RinconRam - RamsFootballFans.com
Forgive my stupidity, but if you don't get a signing bonus WHEN YOU SIGN what's the purpose of a signing bonus? I had just assumed the $40 mil was to cover the salary gap between the rookie contract and the extension, and that he would get that check immediately....by RinconRam - RamsFootballFans.com
LOL If this is our only real problem going forward, it's going to be one hell of a season!!by RinconRam - RamsFootballFans.com
Some of us remember losing to those punks 17 times in a row. And how frustrating it was for us to be a VERY good football team but knowing we had no chance of winning our division because they were closing in on yet another 14-2 season. So yeah - they are our natural enemies, no matter how good we get (or bad they get)by RinconRam - RamsFootballFans.com
"Yeah, but he's barely over 6 ft tall - very undersized for an NFL interior lineman." Says NO ONE EVER anymore. Best risk vs. reward draft pick we've ever had, in my opinion.by RinconRam - RamsFootballFans.com
Anyone think he could push one of the starters this year?by RinconRam - RamsFootballFans.com
In other news today...Brett Hundley had to be talked out of jumping off the space needle upon learning that he might have to face Donald and Suh twice a season.by RinconRam - RamsFootballFans.com
Considering that training camp consists of many many hours and days of conditioning overall, I'm not so sure a few 2-3 hour practice games are a significant factor in determining if we are in shape for the first regular season game. From what I've seen from Ted Rath, I think we will be ready to roll on Monday night...by RinconRam - RamsFootballFans.com
Completely agree that this should be a motivator. Unfortunately there isn't much time left for him to convince coaches that he still belongs; he's going to need a monster game at New Orleans to remain part of that conversation.by RinconRam - RamsFootballFans.com
I've read a few posts about Hill under-performing in the preseason. Not making excuses for him, but I can only imagine the impact of bringing in Talib and Peters, and what that means for someone that was gunning for a starting spot in the secondary coming off a pretty good performance in playoff game....by RinconRam - RamsFootballFans.com
"Sense I’m getting is he could very well be on the @RamsNFL sideline Thursday in New Orleans vs. the @Saints." Great. 0.0 facts. Forgive me if I'm not uncorking the champagne yet.by RinconRam - RamsFootballFans.com
Are you saying he needs to wear a cup??by RinconRam - RamsFootballFans.com
