NFL Draft 2021: Doug Farrar’s Mock Draft 1.0... - Today

Re: he was one of PFF's top 101 in 2020 - Today

Whoa, R2K... Just using Boom as a Hav replacement as an example, Boom would be an actual big upgrade in pass blocking, although a slight downgrade in run blocking. Since McVay passes more than runs, that has to be a net upgrade at RT, right? And Boom might not even be the best fit as a RT replacement over Evans or even Anchrum. Sooooo... The ‘Hav isn’t replaceable’ argument just doesn’t hol

Re: he was one of PFF's top 101 in 2020 - Today

QuoteRampage2K- why would we want to trade one of our best OL? Makes no sense to me that they would want to make this trade No sense? Seriously? Short answer is that Hav is a stud run blocker but very marginal in pass blocking, often requiring TE help. Upgrading at RT would be a twofer. Hav is expensive and a trade could provide critically needed cap help and money for help elsewh

I find Florio increasingly annoying... - Today

Only time I see him is when someone posts a vid of his. I dunno, but he just rubs me the wrong way. Anyway, yeah the Rams blew it on the Gurley, Cooks, and Goff extensions. Hindsight tells us that much rather clearly. But you know what? I consider myself a fairly well informed Ram fan and I thought all 3 extensions were fine AT THE TIME. Meanwhile, without benefit of hindsight, does anyo

Re: Could Bengals be thinking about a Hav trade with Rams? - Today

Quoteoldschoolramfan I like Hav's. Don't like the trade talk going on with him. He's been a very good RT for the Rams, and I like my Badger linemen. They are BIG! I certainly understand fans getting attached to their players. That’s what fans do, after all. But sometimes it’s better to sacrifice a player in order to improve the team. Hav and Brockers might be examples of such sacrifice

WestCoastRam on our C situation... - Today

Here’s WestCoastRam... Well, there was a report, I wish I had time to find that they've put Havenstein on the trade block. It seems like they like Anchrum and he would be the heir apparent to RT and not Evans. I know we don't like it but I'm not gonna let my emotions tell my ears what they hear. And that's, for whatever reason, that the Rams keep loving Blythe (and this goes back years!).

Could Bengals be thinking about a Hav trade with Rams? - Today

Could Bengals Bolster O-Line With Cap-Strapped Rams Looking to Make a Deal? Rams Right Tackle Rob Havenstein is reportedly "available via trade" CINCINNATI — It's no secret that the Bengals need to add quality offensive linemen to their room this offseason. They're expected to have over $37 million in cap space to work with, which is the sixth-most in the NFL. There ar

Note BonifayRam’s comments on Allen if Carberry gets away from zone blocking schemes. Here’s BonifayRam... Brian Allen is going into his 4th season on his rookie contract. He offers the Rams a bargain priced experienced OL who has been a starter. Allen came to the Rams with a highly versatile college career with many starts @ 3 interior OL posts most starts came @ LG. Allen is only 25 yr

Re: Appreciate your thoughts, respectfully disagree - Today

So what got him back to at least talking like the guy of 2 years ago(meaning takes blame first and says only positives about players)? Does he have some kind of mentor/advisor? Is he just more loose because it's the off-season? Have you seen his fiancé, Bearly? Next question...

Re: McVay speaks highly of Blythe prior to FA... - Today

QuoteRamsFanSince69 It really depends on what system they use under new run game coord and OL coach Kevin Carberry. Will they retain the zone blocking scheme or does McVay want to pivot, thus making Kromer superfluous? If the latter, you may be correct in wanting road graders... Excellent point, 69. We’ll see what direction McVay/Carberry choose to go. I do have a couple of thoughts on OL.

Here’s my general strategy recommendation... - Today

Sign an inexpensive Sully type vet at C. Plugs a hole and allows Snead to pursue BPA’s elsewhere. Use creative contract measures to extend Floyd for one year. Could be a win-win for all parties to get through this Covid cap and back to normalcy in ‘22. Vertical WR should come somewhere in mid-draft area. Save the cap dollars. I would do some major restructuring of contracts on AD, Staffo

Sean McVay speaks highly of Austin Blythe ahead of free agency Cameron DaSilva Center is a position that sometimes gets overlooked in terms of importance among casual fans, but coaches and personnel evaluators know how valuable it is to have a stout blocker in the middle of the line. And the center is much more than just a blocker, too. He also helps call out the protection assignments

Sean McVay debunks 'unfair narrative' of Jared Goff causing Rams offense to decline Cameron DaSilva The Los Angeles Rams made the shocking decision to dump Jared Goff this offseason, agreeing to trade him to the Detroit Lions for Matthew Stafford – also giving up three draft picks in the process. Goff regressed in 2019 and 2020 after a terrific first two years under Sean McVay, which ul

McVay emphasizes Rams desire for more explosive plays... - Yesterday

Sean McVay emphasizes Rams' desire to add explosive plays Cameron DaSilva The Rams were one of the most explosive offenses in the NFL in 2017 and 2018, not only putting up a ton of points but scoring rather quickly thanks to big plays. But things went south in 2019 when Jared Goff began to regress and the offensive line deteriorated. The O-line improved in 2020, but Goff still contin

Re: Zero chance - Yesterday

QuoteRockRam It simply doesn't happen that a player that can make the big bucks elsewhere stays for a lot less. And it would have to be a LOT less for the Rams to afford Floyd. The market is not going to ignore a 10.5 sack, good run playing, young, long, Edge Rusher. Partly because like QBs the league is starved for productive Edge Rushers. He'll be paid well more than he's worth, he'll drop

Re: If the goal is winning that's one thing; if it's the money, that's another - Yesterday

I take your point, Rock. Money talks especially in short careers like the NFL. But for me at some point around $10M per year other factors start to come into play. Coaching Winning franchise with a shot at a ring. Desirability of the city for my family, especially the kids. Whether the new team has elite players to draw attention (like an AD). Winning teams and losing teams will both

I see several things as of Feb 25th... - Yesterday

I see our new starting C as a 2nd tier FA vet signing. A Sully type short term solution. I see our ‘vertical WR’ as either a mid to later round draft pick. Heck, possibly they think he’s already on the roster and Stafford can make him successful and effective. A QB like Stafford can really make WR’s look good, you know? I see a likely Snead trade down out of 57, picking up a 3rd in the proc

The rest of the vid was interesting, too. Colin had an intriguing discussion about remaining QB’s via either FA or the draft. Doesn’t look good for Patriots. Couldn’t happen to a nicer team. Lol.

Rams position outlook 2021: Receivers With Robert Woods and Cooper Kupp, the Los Angeles Rams had one of the most productive receiver tandems in the NFL again last season.

Still, the Rams could use some help at receiver

Rams Linebacker Position Needs An Overhaul Despite having the top-ranked defense in the league, the Rams had a glaring weakness and that was the linebacker position.
