QuoteJason Smith OT Baylor STRENGTHS Jason has good size and quickness as well as those long arms that you like to have in your offensive linemen. He does a good job when he latches onto his man in finishing his blocks. He looks to be mentally tough and has very good mental and physical stamina. Jason is a player who plays with excellent passion and drive. All in all, Jasonby max - RamsFootballFans.com
I preferred Higgins to Cooper also. He's a natural hands can catcher. The thing that worried me about Higgins was his toughness. But hey, in the 4th round every WR is gonna have warts. I'm just happy we got Higbee, who is better than any WR taken after the 3rd round.by max - RamsFootballFans.com
I watched him a lot going into the draft. He's not a natural hands catcher, and his hand placement just looks weird to me. He looks like a bigger stronger slower TA. He was very productive in the SEC so maybe Cooper will get better and be similar to a Hines Ward type. I don't know, but I don't expect much out of him this year outside of STs.by max - RamsFootballFans.com
I like having TA on this offense... But I also think it's important to have Spruce on the field on 3rd down.by max - RamsFootballFans.com
The thing is the reports from TC have been that Spruce hasn't dropped one ball. That can't be said about any other WR on the team and it's such a huge deal. One of the biggest issues with these WRs is that they drop too many balls. If only for the fact that Spruce will be the only WR who doesn't drop ball he should be kept on the team. I don't care if Thomas or Williams show flashes and maby max - RamsFootballFans.com
Guys that were missing from that list but should be on it: Stock up: Benny C G Robinson T Barnes M Longacre Stock down: Senasbaugh Joyner Austin (confirming my belief that he is an erratic ball dropper) Every WR not named Spruceby max - RamsFootballFans.com
Who is going to beat him out for a roster spot? Britt, Tavon, Cooper are locks. Quick and Marquez are competition for Spruce. The Rams probably keep at least 6 WRs, so I see a spot for him. I think they try to stash a couple of the other rookies on the PS. Gotta see a lot more from Thomas and Williams, though. And there may be an injury or 2 before the season starts that will trimby max - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotezn QuoteRockRam He needed to handle the pressure better and get rid of the ball, but that is mostly just adjusting to the NFL speed and schemes. Which brings up another point. Unlike the Rams defense in that game, which was vanilla and all about finding out who to cut and who to keep, the Dallas defense ran all sorts of things at the Rams.

EXACTLY my point. Those kids were just mimicking what they heard last year. They have no idea what they are looking so they can't see the difference this year. Come on. Stop giving me a hard time on something so obvious.by max - RamsFootballFans.com
Yeah. I heard other national guys who know football as well as JT say that GRob looked much better. I don't think these kids know what they are looking at.by max - RamsFootballFans.com
Everything is relative. The Dallas D is not good. The Dallas O is good. It will be a different story against the Chiefs. So we will see.by max - RamsFootballFans.com
Man, they were great. I loved those guys.by max - RamsFootballFans.com
But he is the master of the obvious and really doesn't know much about the game beyond what a regular fan knows. In fairness, there isn't a beat writer in LA yet who knows more about football than JT. JT knew that Rob Havenstein broke his toe and was the first to report it. He also said good things about GRob when the rest of the LA crowd was just spewing out negative stuff that sounded likby max - RamsFootballFans.com
He's gonna need a body guard if the keeps those kind of comments up.by max - RamsFootballFans.com
I heard a couple of kids from that source say that GRob looked so bad in TC from what they saw and that he should be replace although they probably won't because they don't have anyone else. Where do they find these guys? I guess the OC pays minimum wage or maybe nothing.by max - RamsFootballFans.com
He is looking for a competitive product that brings in money. Fisher provides continuity and stability. That's important to Kroenke. He won't fire Fisher until the losing hurts his master plan in Inglewood. Fisher knows he won't see Inglewood if he continues losing, but he can hang around for 2 more years if he's not awful.by max - RamsFootballFans.com

Glad to see STL fans adjusting to the move back. They got played and it wasn't fair to them. I can't imagine not caring where they play.by max - RamsFootballFans.com
Here's what I can tell you. I've been a Rams fan since the mid 60's. I've lived in 4 difference states but never in LA or STL. And the Ram moving back to LA is EXTREMELY exciting to me. I'm reliving my childhood. When they played California Dreaming' on Hard Knocks I got goose bumps. So yeah, I'm excited that Rams football is about to start again, but I'm super pumped that its back in thby max - RamsFootballFans.com
Goff will have to overcome the insipid coaching of Fisher. Bridgewater was average at best last year, but the Vikings are better coached. I agree with your premise that without some special play by a rookie QB the Rams will be a losing team once again. I'm hoping Fisher's big mouth speech about "7-9 bullsh!t" sticks with him and he is forced out if he does produce a winner this yby max - RamsFootballFans.com

And he isn't that dumb that he doesn't know it. He knows he ain't getting no winning season with his passing game doing anything more than not being horrendous.by max - RamsFootballFans.com
That should do it. You think they'll do that if they don't suffer big OL injuries and lose their QB? I'll be shocked. But that's just me.by max - RamsFootballFans.com
Think about the Rams passing game in 1973 and 1999. They did not suffer from all the points I listed.by max - RamsFootballFans.com
I think he will get more touches than anyone else in the NFL this year.by max - RamsFootballFans.com
I'm not saying they won't win more than 7 games. I'm thinking they'll have to do it without a decent passing game. Gurley is gonna have to be like Earl Campbell. Fisher is gonna have to run him almost 400 times.by max - RamsFootballFans.com
We are very close to what's going on with this team, so I wanted to step back and look at the passing game from a reasonable perspective. Here's the bottom line: Given the following: 1. 3+ year vets who have never produced at least 800 receiving yds in a season. 2. rookie QB and/or journeyman QB. 3. rookie receivers not taken in the 1st or 2nd round. How often does that combination prby max - RamsFootballFans.com
I was thinking the same thing. I hope that Kroenke made it clear that Fisher needs a winning season to stay another year. Fisher's quote is on my bulletin board. He owns it.by max - RamsFootballFans.com
Fisher put it out there. This team is too talented to go 7-9, 8-8, 9-7, or even 10-6. I expect him to be out the door if he doesn't deliver a winner this year. That's the bottom line.by max - RamsFootballFans.com
