Ramsey would have cost too much to keep, and as such, it had to cost the Rams something to trade him.

As to bragging about making the spread against the 49ers, the expectation going in was that the Rams would have their horns and rearmost body parts handed to them that they'd be out-manned talent-wise, out-coached, and physically manhandled up and down the field.

That didn't happen. Until the Williams bounce-off pick, we were in the game - not hanging from a thread, but out-playing the 49ers in many categories with a chance to win until the latter half of the fourth quarter.

I can feel your exaspiration at much that the Rams do, but when I think it through I'm often driven to different conclusions than I started with.]]> mtramfan RamsFootballFans.comWed, 20 Sep 2023 23:53:47 -0400 https://ramsrule.com/herd/read.php?19,1044294,1044332#msg-1044332 Re: The thing that bothers mehttps://ramsrule.com/herd/read.php?19,1044294,1044332#msg-1044332
I get the salary dump trades but the Woods trade stands out as puzzling to me.
Just seems like we could be better poker players ...but it's whatever at this point.

My guess is Cam selfishly moaned or threw his OL under the bus in locker room because of a frustrating 22 carry 29 yrd performance
was time for him to go.

The young team seems hungry and playing hard .. I've enjoyed the first two weeks immensely and don't get it twisted I'm a big McVay fan

Just think he doesn't like his authority questioned at all and if you do pack your bags...as it should be I suppose]]> Headslap75 RamsFootballFans.comWed, 20 Sep 2023 23:12:52 -0400 https://ramsrule.com/herd/read.php?19,1044294,1044329#msg-1044329 Addition by Subtraction nmhttps://ramsrule.com/herd/read.php?19,1044294,1044329#msg-1044329 Rambone RamsFootballFans.comWed, 20 Sep 2023 22:57:50 -0400 https://ramsrule.com/herd/read.php?19,1044294,1044327#msg-1044327 Re: The thing that bothers mehttps://ramsrule.com/herd/read.php?19,1044294,1044327#msg-1044327

Just seems like you could do a little better sell job.... Akers great athlete Great dude we just like Williams think he's better for our scheme don't want to take reps away etc etc

Sean is a talker and a very honest guy that does play coy with the press but not with his players and coaches, he is considered trustworthy. He traded Cam to Kevin O'Connell (KOC), his former asst. who knows both Cam and Sean. They weren't going to rip each other off and considering McVay's coaching tree across the league, I think his candor, when asked behind closed doors, was sincere.

I have little doubt that the Rams got the best deal they could considering the factors involved and truly wish Cam Akers the best with the Vikings or wherever he goes.]]> Ramboni RamsFootballFans.comWed, 20 Sep 2023 22:43:25 -0400 https://ramsrule.com/herd/read.php?19,1044294,1044319#msg-1044319 completely missing the point, bum...https://ramsrule.com/herd/read.php?19,1044294,1044319#msg-1044319

Cam had become a cancer, who was about to be cut....Ramsey was a salary dump and getting rid of a player who had served his purpose, but was on the decline....

Just seems like someone ruffles Sean's feathers and they get jettisoned for nothing
saw similar with Woods and maybe to a lesser extent on return but Goff as well

Anyway love McVay as a coach but his player dealings sometimes raise my eyebrows

But if it is a "my way or the highway" mentality so be it ... In Sean I trust

I wonder if McVay takes a more no nonsense approach with players being a young of age coach....meaning leaving no doubt I'm running the show cross me you're gone?]]> Headslap75 RamsFootballFans.comWed, 20 Sep 2023 21:55:37 -0400 https://ramsrule.com/herd/read.php?19,1044294,1044313#msg-1044313 Maybe not all 'market'.....https://ramsrule.com/herd/read.php?19,1044294,1044313#msg-1044313
If you're shopping a product it's SOP to make that product as attractive as possible.... even if you have doubts.
