A bit harsh, I think

June 07, 2023 05:12AM
It has been many years since we've had as good and pragmatic Rams' writer as Jourdan.
o
She has had a lot of experience and time to compare players, plays, coaches, etc. to. A lot more than any of us.
She has access to info we don't have, and has said often that some of it she can't share. And because she stays true to her word, the Rams' brain trust clearly has a level of trust in her that they will share with her info knowing that if they don't want it repeated, she won't.

She didn't say these guys were going to be starters, good players, anything like that. But rather, that she is impressed either with how they are doing, or with the implied pleasure of the coaching staff with those players because of how and how much they are being deployed. And yes, these are early indicators that as a fan I enjoy hearing about. No hyperbole, just sharing what she observed.

  Good question but she wasn't really clear was she?

Ramsdude154June 06, 2023 01:33PM

  Bingo

Ram_Ruler175June 06, 2023 01:36PM

  Incorrect and unfair

db218June 06, 2023 12:39PM

  "contractually limited"?

Ramsdude115June 06, 2023 12:55PM

  I think you're both right

Ramsdude80June 06, 2023 02:49PM

  yes, she is contractually limited

db178June 06, 2023 02:44PM
