Here is a potential Rams starting OL: Jackson. Because Boom’s ability to stay healthy is a concern. And a trade or FA would be too costly. FA or draft pick. Probably prefer a solid but experienced vet for leadership, like Alyo suggested. Schmitz (draft pick). Because I think he’ll be a day one starter over even the experienced Shelton. And a potential future All Pro. Anchrum, Bruss, or Brewby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
One other and bigger thing was dramatically illustrated. Turnovers and ST play are the margin once again between two evenly matched teams.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
I’m not convinced that the FA is a necessity, but I will say this. If an affordable solid vet OL at LOT, OG, or OC were doable I would certainly not be opposed.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com

Hope Snead/McVay are assimilating all the nuances.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
I remain of the opinion that all options should be explored, Trade, FA, and draft. However, I also remain of the opinion that Rams only need to acquire one or two new players in order to have a Top 10 or better OL.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Rams had best get him several things he needs to be truly successful this year. A solid edge. Maybe FA, trade, or draft pick in 2nd, I don’t care. This is Job One. A quality CB. Probably from draft but taken early. Maybe 3rd or 4th? Upgrade the Safety room. Rams need Safeties that are also ball hawks. Last, but by no means least, FIX the damned O and get back to scoring 28-30 ppg.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com

Can Rams out-duel Eagles, rest of NFC next season? Early odds have Rams with 10th-best chance to win Super Bowl Kenneth Arthur The Philadelphia Eagles held a fourth quarter lead in the Super Bowl and tied the game with 5:15 remaining, but if the last 20 years of divisional parity are any indication then the Eagles might have a difficult time even winning the NFC East next season.

Here’s AvengerRam… 1. Having no particular allegiance or opposition to either team, I enjoyed that game for its sheer drama. 2. Patrick Mahomes is really a magician.

Both loaded with talent top to bottom. Both with terrific coaches. Both with strong OL’s and strong DL’s. The difference in the game came down to that Hurts fumble and Chiefs recovery/run for TD.

QuoteAlbaNY_Ram I know Kupp was kind of on the spot but he could have shown support with a much more passive reply. Beyond that, though, Morris is shown support by players and coaches in other situations where their evals are more spontaneous and more driven by the interviewee rather than the interviewer. I have no idea if Morris would make a good head coach or not. But the support he gets fby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com

You raise good points, dude. The silence of other team owners is deafening. My take? Morris is a very glib DC, very personable. Players love him, press loves him. Heck, everybody loves him.
