Well, here are 3 things I now believe regarding these AD negotiations... I believe that Demoff is gonna hold the line on just how much the Rams will pay AD. Period. I believe that that number is in the $20-22 million range. I believe that this AD extension could have been concluded even before the Cooks extension if AD had a different agent. Hell, maybe even concluded last year! Let mby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteLMU93 All three of those guys will need a year with Ted Rath and his team. They just will. The key for them as rookies is understanding assignments, learning the offense, getting used to the pace, getting good coaching on technique, etc. Agreed, 93. And, with any luck, all 3 will get that year of strength building. The Rams were definitely planning ahead by taking their OL players thisby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
I think that it’s fair to say that an opposing OC is gonna have to look long and hard to find many weaknesses in this ‘18 Ram D. And I’ll add this. I now believe that our LB unit is gonna be better than many of us had originally thought. Much better, actually.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteAlbaNY_Ram "... go through his progressions TO him was glaring" I am trying to get my head around the concept of 'going thru his progressions'. If Sammy is option #2 and option #1 is open I would expect the ball to go to option #1. Is that how you see it? So if Sammy is also open but the ball is already in #1's hands hasn't Goff gone thru his progressions the way he's supposedby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotejemach on their site. They make this way too complicated. If you had an O/U on the Rams at 8.32, there would be a landslide of overs taken. Plus, while they promote the Rams having a one in three chance of repeating, the reality is, barring significant injuries, this team has a 8 to 9 in 10 chance of winning the division. Sometimes, people think too much. Yeah, je. The gooby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Quote it's so ridiculous... McVay may very well be a better head coach. Does that make him smarter? Individuals have strengths. Some are artistic and can't do math. Others are mathmaticians and can't write. What is the heck does that have to do with smart? McVay, in terms of accomplishments, can't touch Martz. That could change but so many of you are ready crown someone when theyby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotewaterfield So the writer believes that if he isn't in camp next week they should trade him? Why would they do that when they can never get equal value for the best D person in the NFL ? Especially is they have him under contract ! Yeah, Hernandez is way off base there. To the point of being absurd.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotejemach slow down...there is time!!! Of course, je. Just saying that Demby is not getting the rave reviews that others have received. Incidentally, I overlooked Lawler. He should have made my “camp list”.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotejemach lol...ok. Yeah right. I find broad statements like that, with absolutely no factual backup...well...not right. When this offense becomes the Greatest Show on Surf, then I'll give that statement some credence. My guess is McVay has learned quite a bit from Martz, as has the NFL. Martz wasn't perfect but he took developed one of the great offenses in history going to two Superby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Let’s see... These are in no particular order, and I’m not counting the obvious previous Ram star players such as Goff, Gurley, Joyner, Brockers, etc. Cooks Kelly Malcolm Brown Noteboom Myers Ebukam Littleton Shields Talib Peters Zuerlein might be the best news of all, although he’s certainly not “new”. Some of those names were stars on other teams, but they are new Rams thatby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Here’s So Ram... I think The Rams did really well in the draft. Brandin Cooks is Freaking Awesome. McVay called a delayed pass ? I just know Cooks is a BLUR !! I’m trying to watch the O’line & next thing you know Cooks is running free for a huge gain or TD. McVay called one play & talked a little to defensive coach. Walked over to get a fist bump.Will see that play in season . Joshby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Vincent Bonsignore @DailyNewsVinny #NFL team executive to me in observation of Aaron Donald holdout and contract impasse with the #Rams: “The road is littered with players that overplayed their hands.” 7:02 AM - Aug 2, 2018 58 30 people are talking about thisby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotemax Brockers said yesterday that the guy who pushes him the most is Samson. He was raving about him as a leader too. Maybe Samson becomes a leader of the D, maybe not. but I feel strongly about one thing. Donald isn't the leader Breer was touting him to be. I missed that Brockers quote, max. Thanks for sharing. Agree that AD is not a great leader, other than by example.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Well, I agree that McVay isn’t perfect, Speed. However... Let’s don’t forget that last year WAS his first year as HC. AND he hadn’t quite been able to get all of “his” desired players. He did very well while playing the cards that he was dealt with good FA moves, good drafting with limited picks, and unbelievable player development. I expect that McVay will make further strides forwarby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
““What’s important right now is to continue to make sure we try to find a way to get Aaron in the fold, but also preserve – because that’s what we need,” Demoff continued. “We’re gonna have Marcus Peters on a contract expiring. You have Jared coming up. You know, next year we’re going to have four picks in the top 100. You want to make sure that what we’re building is not just short-term.

For openers, AD is under contract for this ‘18 season. That’s a fact. I think he will blink on his holdout threat for this year. That’s an opinion. Another opinion is that the Rams can win without AD, including winning the division. This team doesn’t revolve around AD anymore than the Sun revolves around Jupiter. The SB, though, would probably require AD’s contributions. I think. Still anotby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Here’s So Ram... Myers is running with ones &!Smart didn’t looknto good. Got butt kicked in one play bad. Lawler stands out. He is so long & tall. —- Lawler looks good. Might beat OBo out anyway ?

QuoteAtlantic Ram "we disagree with AD's value" To me some of what Demoff said sounds he is setting the table for a deal not getting done, especially when talking about upcoming contracts, etc. I hope by some miracle Donald plays this season... after that I don't know. But I have no idea why he would without an extension. I know I wouldn't and I would absolutely leave $7 million onby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Here’s a thought... What if, just maybe, your opinion as to AD’s financial worth is beyond what the Ram brain trust thinks it is? And perhaps even other teams feel the same as the Rams? I mean, I give you credit for researching justification rationale and literally a hundred or more posts to support your opinion. But when all is said and done, it’s just your opinion.

Cooper Kupp says Brandin Cooks has 'challenged' Rams WRs to step up Cameron DaSilva In each of the past two offseasons, Brandin Cooks has been traded for first-round picks. It’s proved his value in the NFL, but it also raises questions as to why the Saints and Patriots were so willing to ship him out of town. Are there character concerns? Is he scheme-dependent? Can he stay healthy?by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Rams COO Kevin Demoff: 'We just don't agree' on Aaron Donald's value Cameron DaSilva The Los Angeles Rams and Aaron Donald have been discussing a long-term extension for more than a year now, and despite the lengthy and ongoing negotiations, the two sides can’t seem to come close to an agreement. With Week 1 rapidly approaching and Aaron Donald still not in Los Angeles, it’s almost inevby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteSunTzu_vs_Camus a 3 yr deal with 60m guaranteed. This would let AD hit FA again at age 30...and able to negotiate a new deal with the Rams or someone else. it avgs 20m/yr...but guarantees 60m and that AD will get a 3rd contract. ...is it reasonable? justa thot I doubt that the Rams have any desire to extend AD for merely 3 years only to have to go through this all over again.

He speaks quite plainly with a minimum of “coachspeak”. Very refreshing. I recommend picking it up at the 3:00 minute mark.

QuoteAtlantic Ram Since this can go downhill quickly I just want to say I respect your opinion on this. My opinion is 1. TA was set back a bit by injury. Although I’m not certain how much of a factor it was. TA is not a route running WR so I don’t know what McVay felt his options were. But it seems like the injury didn’t help. 2. McVay runs a very detail oriented offense. I think he triedby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
And I’m not sure if we would get a straight out answer if we asked the players directly, tbh. I’m wondering if Peters and Talib aren’t truly impressed with Cooks, Woods, and Kupp. I’m betting that they are. Same thing for our WR’s. I’m betting that they’re very impressed with Peters and Talib. Meanwhile, the iron keeps on sharpening the iron. Lol.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
