Possible but Practice is not a game

Just speculating, but maybe they saw enough in practice that they knew they didn't want to see it in a game? I mean, if they couldn't play anything else in practice ....

Just speculating, but if that's not it then I have no clue what it was.

There is no better way to judge a player than in a real game. Not practice. It's just not the same Look at Tutu as an example. They saw him in practice and still didn't play him. When they did play him, he did pretty well.

If the Rams are using "practice" as the main determining factor there might be an issue with that strategy IMO.

The season was over by week 6 AlbaNY. Basically the last 11 weeks could have been an "on the field" auditions to see just what we have. Instead, we played scared and babied them because we might have lost a game or two more in a season that was already over. All so we could be a 5-12 team instead of a 3-14 team. rolled eyes smiley

Again, I am not saying to play man on EVERY play. Just maybe mix it in a bit more. Who knows, maybe one of these kids lights it up and shows something he didn't in practice. The season was over. We missed an opportunity to evaluate some players in "real" game conditions. JMO



#HelmetHornsMatter

“Well, the color is good, I like the metallic blue,” Youngblood recently said while laughing, via NFL Journal. “The horn is terrible. It looks like a ‘C.’ When I first saw it on the logo I honestly thought it was a Charger logo.

“Now when I see it on the helmet, it just isn’t a ram horn. There is no distinct curl like a mature ram horn. I don’t know how the Rams could get that wrong. That is your symbol and it has been for what? Seventy years or more? Longer than I have been alive? It’s just not us, it’s not the Rams.”---Mr. Ram Jack Youngblood

  The need for bringing in new D players is beyond acute…

  It's a change in philosophy that makes sense in my opinion
