I think you are right James

for saying that the acquisition of Nacua is the primary reason that the Ram's are back on track and, (hopefully), ready to make another run. The Ram's entire 'moving forward' strategy took a major shift and sped things up considerably.

NOT that they foresaw Nacua having the impact he did.... THAT, I think, was in large part 'getting lucky'. And excellent pick, without question, but still a stroke of luck. I don't think the Ram's could, or would have, come anywhere near addressing the D the way they did without Nacua successfully filling what they may well have thought their biggest need/hole.

We hit big on the Puka pick and it has played a large role in how well we played last year. His play elevated the game of others too, like Stafford and Williams.

If Puka can be only 3/4 of how good he was last year, we could be looking at another good season.

So far it looks like we hit on several picks. Not just Puka. Puka is just the icing on the cake.

#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
