Re: Best available FA’s for Rams, including Mosely and Asante Samuel, jr. (RW) - Today
Cameron's best piece yet - well researched, thorough, well written, well done! Keep it coming! I'd like to see Douglas and 'Spoon as CB's, maybe Kendricks (vet savvy - good mentor for Speights) at LB.by mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Re: So... if Tyler Coleman were the GM he'd have let Adams walk? - 2 days ago
Somebody's gonna pay him - we had to be top bidder, or close to it with other factors thrown in, to get him to sign. Make stuff up - second-guess every decision based on misleading in formation - maybe this writer is in the wrong career, and should go write about politics, where this brand of journalism is the norm, and leave football alone.by mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Re: X is a factor - 2 days ago
I'm with you opn X. He's 1/10th of a second slower that Tutu in the 450 but appears to have more burst, one-step acceleration, game speed. I think he's also naturally shiftier. Maybe Tutu is ahead of him with the playbook - who knows. I thought Tutu would get a one-year step-up-or-be-gone contract if not traded. He does have value - but given McVay's emphasis opn run blocking, to name just onby mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Re: Rams praised for making NFL’s ‘best move’ by Rtan Heckman - 2 days ago
Ryan who? Never heard of him until now. Is this typical - a clear well-written article that isn't too long but manages to be complete? Written by someone who states his case, based on his observation of the facts, without pretending to insider knowledge or vast expertise? Can we have more? Welcome, Ryan! I hope you stick around. :bravoby mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Re: More Cephus - 2 days ago
Some of the same plays but a better look: Battling for contested balls, elevation, catching outside the frame for huge catch radious (especially those over-the-hear extensions on go balls) I see him as a sideline-possession receiver and valuable in X or Y depending on down-distance, and in relief of starters - and also a good goal-line weapon. But that's going on a couple of highlight tapes,by mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Re:Where (or does) Quintez Cephus fit in? - 2 days ago
One of the beat wags had him penciled in as a #2 backup - based on I-don't-know-what so I looked him up. Here's what I found: 4.5 speed, 208 lbs at over 6' and a battler for contested balls. Hands - make that claws - of glue and sinew. Reminds me in every aspect of Anquan Boldin - same height and a few pounds lighter. Boldin played at 220#, Cephus at combine (should be beefier now) 208#. He'sby mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Re: Who is Quintez Cephus? - 3 days ago
Never mind having a couple of players slated to play out of position in the article (or so it seems to me) I had to ask: Who is this Quintez Cephus? On tape he looks like Anquan Boldin. I had to mute the annoying sound. From there it's best to skip the first half and watch for hands, contested balls, YAC. He plays considerably better late in his college career - for me that spells coachable.by mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Re: WR Tyler Johnson is a Jet - 4 days ago
I saw Johnson as a nice receiver; did OK but didn't show me anything special. What did I miss? What do you see that says we should have kept him?by mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Re: WR Tyler Johnson is a Jet - 4 days ago
Add Whittington and Adams to the 53, make room for a draftee or other FA, subtract... who? I see Johnson as the logical choice - and keeping him raises the question: Who do you cut to keep him? Maybe coaches saw Johnson as having lower ceiling or less utility than Whittington, plus the value of Whittington's ST role. Or maybe coaches see X as eventually developing into Tutu's role - or beiby mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Re:Spot on, VWV - 6 days ago
There in a nutshell, folks, is a summation of the Snead roster-building strategy. It'll be fun to watch it play out - see what happens. I think this is the first of your posts I've read, and I'll be looking for more. Keep them coming. :thumbsupby mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Re: Broncos??? NOOOOOOOO - 7 days ago
Kupp is far from being a lockerroom and culture fit (without going too far into the area of his personal beliefs) with a team being assembled from dirtbags like Greenlaw by a HC who should have been drummed out of football for being a dirtbag mastermind.by mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com

You might have that on good information or an acurate hunch, but I'm moaning, wailing, at the possibility.

Re: just curious who are the the top 3 CBs the Rams have??? - 9 days ago
They invested a lot in Tomlinson - so much potential, not enough personal discipline to control and redirect his aggression - and letting him go indicates that the Rams are again on the move to upgrade that room. The question is how, not if.by mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com

It's all by accident. :lol1:peace:bravo Maybe Eric Yarber just happened to be vacationing at a resort in the Marianas and Devonte took a weenekd off from touring Japan for a quick stay, and they met over a rum punch served in coconut shells on the beach. :bravo That's as likely a story as any as to how we signed Devante Adams. :clapby mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com

Re:Agreed, Albany. Stafford = shot at a ring - 12 days ago
We can look at the numbers on the screen all we want - age, dollars, TD/int ratioo. yards, all of it - and miss the most important part of the picture. Call it intangibles. We've seen Stafford take charge of the team's effort, uplift everybody in unison, and orchestrate effortas like that last drive in the SB win in ways that very, very few quarterbacks in my long lifetime ever could.

Re: considering WR contracts these days, it is not bad... - 13 days ago
Who can they get that is better (in their eyes) than what Kupp would project - especially now, with $10 mil going toTutu? I have to wonder: Will Xavier break out as the Rams speedball threat after another camp? And if so, what becomes of Tutu? In the meantime, will Tutu gain three pounds a month during the offseason? Will Puka invite Whittington over for friendly workouts and train him 'til hby mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Re: Dalman would be ok, but I'd rather draft Membou or Zabel or sign Zeitler - 13 days ago
My take along the OL is different. Avila is OK at center but more valuable at LG. At center he had challenges to call blocking schemes more effeciently, be where he was supposed to be; he should be an extension of Stafford rather than vise-versa. Much of what he brings is lost at center. That's why he was moved back to LG where he belongs. Leave him plugged in there, look for an improved Limmeby mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Re: As they say: better a year too soon than too late (nm) - 13 days ago
Funny you should mention Tutu as a wannabe Tyler. I never thought of that - I always saw Tutu and Tavon as being McVay's attempt to catch a freeze-dried Tyreek Hill.by mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Re: Rams releasing Tre’ Tomlinson - 13 days ago
Tomlinson seemed like one of those tremendously gifted undersized men who always had something to prove; small shoulder, big chip. He couldn't refrain from doing that "little extra" that would draw a penalty. Problem is, at the NFL level, opposing OC's will exploit that, coach their players to trigger it. He showed some exceptional ability in coverage in camp and pre-season gameby mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Re:At least he rolled Brady for a ski vacation - 14 days ago
Brady must be a member of the Yellowstone Club. Nice place, as far as tthe scenery and archetecture goes; I know people who were contractors, builders, and dsesigners in various capacities in putting it together. Bad, bad reputation beyond that. Dumping sewage into the Gallatin River, lawsuits, bad blood with neighboring ranchers, bankruptcy, all sorts of under-the-table corruption behind theby mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Re: Depends on what you mean by "replace." - 17 days ago
Can Whittington play in the same spot? Yes. Is Whittington another Triple Crown receiver? Let's not be unrealistic- yet. Could Whittington pulverize a DB coming up to tackle him of an end-around (excuse me - that's the old term for what we dinosaurs used to call a jet sweep)? It'd be fun to watch. As Brian Piccolo told Gayle Sayers, Whittington may not get you over twenty all-at-once, butby mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Re: Limmer's overall PFF rating for 2024 season is 57.6, good for 42nd best out of 64. - 18 days ago
Stats are revealing but don't tell the whole story. Limmer was an injury sub earlier than intended. He made unprepared rookie mistakes, other teams exploited the weakness, he rerlied on strength and grit which didn't fully compenste for experience, trechery, and skill. Limmer (end of season) was a different player than Limmer (when thrown in.) I'm curiously interested in Limmer's firstby mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Re: Gotta see Stafford's new deal - 19 days ago
I'm still back to: Dump 'Boom. That frees up how many bucks, and how applied to Stafford's contract? Personally I feel badly for 'Boom, he's been a good teammate, done everything ased of him, tries hard in every way, but just can't stay available. Then you have the in-and-out RG who's up to be traded. Cap relief? Who else? My unsubstantiated hunch is that paying Stafford won't be suby mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
