This is has been one of the major issues with LA sports teams. Media coverage volume hasn't been like NY or Philly. For the size of the place, you'd think it would be more. It's not that it's non-existent; but you'd think it would be tons more than what we saw in St. Louis.....and it's not. I agree; I'm disappointed at the lack of Rams stories during OTAs and since the OTAs. The national mediaby RockRam - RamsFootballFans.com
Boldin can probably play until he's 40 due his kind of game. Until and unless Fisher allows the ball to be thrown around with some alacrity, there is no point of bringing in a historically productive WR. Boldin would just be frustrated on the Rams and no doubt express it. Rather we need FAs like Britt who are just happy to have a job and know that they could only get the kind of money theby RockRam - RamsFootballFans.com
without Warner? And Faulk? And Martz? And Bruce? Put Holt on the Fisher team of the last few years and no one would know his name. You gotta have a lot of pieces for a guy like Holt to thrive. He wasn't unusually big or fast or strong or elusive. He was a technician who ran precise routes and had terrific hands. So he ran all the right routes and caught the ball, but what good doeby RockRam - RamsFootballFans.com
Yep, he needs help. But there's no reason for the Rams to be in the middle of it. He has money (unless he's spent it partying), and he has family. He's a big boy and needs to take responsibility (just like for Manziel). You can't help someone who doesn't want help.by RockRam - RamsFootballFans.com
This smacks of Manziel all over again. It's all about drug and alcohol abuse, obviously. Betcha this is the classic case of kid that for the first time has some money, and this is what he's decided to spend it on. Partying. Too bad. The only other possibility is a mental health issue such as bipolar; but this sounds more like the irresponsibility of drugs than it does mood swings. Eithby RockRam - RamsFootballFans.com
I always saw him as a solid reporter who left the hype to others. He gave us the info he had without making up the rest or giving us speculation packaged as fact. I'll miss him. Hope his replacement is at least as good.by RockRam - RamsFootballFans.com
Spending a 4th rounder on a TE is hardly dramatic. Keeping Boros? Dramatic? I call it the ultimate "keep it the same" conservatism. Cooper? Again. A 4th round pick. No drama there. Actually, this is the problem in a nutshell to me. When Fisher's offenses have been so consistently horrible for so long, something dramatic needs to change. It can't be held to bad luck for almost aby RockRam - RamsFootballFans.com
I have just never seen where Offense is a priority with Fisher. Good enough is good enough. He has been all defense, all the time. He wants a great defense. And if they're not great, ferrocious will do. That is why I find both the drafting of Austin and Goff as curious. Gurley I understand; Fisher is trying to resurrect Eddie George. But why draft a prolific, skinny shotgun passer for a sby RockRam - RamsFootballFans.com
Ok, I'm willing to step out BEFORE training camp and predict the Roster. Here it is: QB 3 Goff, Keenum, Mannion RB 4 Gurley, Cunningham, Brown, Reynolds WR 6 Austin, Britt, Cooper, Spruce, Marquez, Thomas TE 4 Harkey, Kendricks, Higbee, Hemmingway OL 10 Robinson, Saffold, Barnes, Brown, Havenstein, Reynolds, Donnal, Wichman, Battle, Williams DL 8 Qby RockRam - RamsFootballFans.com
While I don't necessarily agree, the general definition around this Board is that whatever a player is "worth" is defined by the size of his contract. So if Tavon gets $12 mil, he's worth $12 mil is the logic. I don't think so, but then again I often run against the grain, here. Here's the thing: Tavon Austin is a very unique player. He may be the best combination of pure speed anby RockRam - RamsFootballFans.com
the status of TJ Mac that anything else Whitner is not a true FS. He's more an in the box type or a hybrid SS/FS. So to me, the determining factor as to whether the Rams pursue him might be TJ MacDonald's playing status (which, btw, is steeped in mystery right now). Of course, if training camp shows that Alexander can be an effective SS, and one the young guys an effective FS, then perhaby RockRam - RamsFootballFans.com
ZN, imo there's a difference between a boring offense and an effective offense. The Run and Shoot was an exciting (non-boring) offense; Chip Kelly's offense is an exciting (non-boring) offense. However its effectiveness is questionable on the overall outcome of the game. An effective offense that accomplishes what the strategy is for winning a games can be very boring, but lead to wins.

I just don't see Fisher being the one to lead the Rams to championships. He has a "try not to lose" approach that is palpable. People call it "conservative". It's not. It's playing to try to eek out a win by the skin of your teeth; get a lead, go into a shell. This style tells your team that they are NOT better than the other guys. Strategy and risk-free football will be thby RockRam - RamsFootballFans.com
TruJ had a very good year in 2015. No doubt. But......I think the smart move is to franchise him this year, and if he has a terrific 2016, then pay him the money. Better that than to do with they did with Foles, for example. Too often a guy has one good year that proves to be the best he'll ever have, and then gets paid as though that's the level he'll play from here on out.
