QuoteThe_Zone I am not concerned, I don't fault him at all for wanting some structure or get traded. look at the way that organization is being run. He simply wants to keep Pierce who did a decent job. he is also not the only one singing Pierces praise, and Pierce is getting looks from other organizations as well. a Crosby addition would strike fear in opposing QBs and OC's. he is relentlby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
Crosby seems to think he should be running the team. To me there is a conflict somewhere in all that. So I'd pass on Crosby and let some other team overpay for him in trade. And I'd take a shot on another young edge to pair with Young somewhere in that first few rounds.by merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRamsdude Quotemerlin We're precisely where we were last season, which is 28th in the league. This season our pressure rate is 18.7%, last season it was 17.9%. Of course pressures are subjective and one can doubt the accuracy to some extent, but I think we're a bottom team in affecting the QB and have been since that title run.

QuoteRockRam Let the market decide. The NFL is simply entertainment. It has no other value. I do agree with the concept that the legalized monopoly should no longer be allowed. it was pretty crazy to begin with, if you ask me. No doubt the right people were paid off. But, unless we're going to demand that Taylor Swift air her shows on broadcast TV, then I have a real problem with theby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com

Youngest head coach hire. Top notch win percentage. Super Bowl victory. And he's got a lot of years ahead to build on that. He will be enshrined the first ballot he is eligible for. Take a moment to smell the flowers with this guy in charge. :thumbsupby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
Excellent. We may not have the talented roster but if they're all aligned and focused in they may do a little damage. Gonna enjoy this however it ends. :beercanby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
That's the DT in him too so it's not going to change. But just in terms of his ability to put a good rush on, he's not too bad. The guy has a nice blend of power and rush savvy to him. In this game vs Goff that contain won't be too big a deal. So it wouldn't surprise me if he has a strong outing.by merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
First we know Jared very well. He was traded because teams were changing it up on the back end while he was running play action and when he turned around he couldn't process quick enough to recover. Raheem will have some special home cookin' for him in this one. Second one of our problems this season was Kendrick's inconsistencies, or perhaps his limits is a better way to put it.

QuoteJamesJM I mean other than our personal preferences for when we'd like to watch... do you see a benefit for a certain time slot? No it doesn't really matter, I was just hoping for the first slot so I could get the Rams result over with and enjoy the rest of the weekend games.by merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
He's a really good weapon and one that moves the chains. Would have been a matchup problem for us for sure. Detroit still has plenty of those remaining too, so this helps but we're still gonna be under the gun on defense. Key will be pressures on Jared to move him off his spot. Make him move and maybe catch him in a couple misreads on big downs and we might steal this thing. It's gonna beby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
NFL is going to play this one all the way up. It is a gift-wrapped headliner for the NFC wildcard round. I was hoping for first game Saturday but should've known we'd end up here. :ROTFby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
He's just a recent addition that doesn't have the benefit of a ton of reps and coaching to ensure he's got the nuance down in McVay's offense. So for him to play like he did is impressive. That was a big game. Might have been against backups but it was still a big game. I like his energy. He seems rejuvenated too. Like a different guy from that broken shell who got tossed out of Indy.

QuoteRams43 Quotemerlin For myself as I keep saying its addition has the potential of putting this offense into rare levels. I agree we lack it and btw this is not just on offense. Defensively if Tomlinson can't do the job we need a stud corner to eat that top draw. Same thing, speed required. Speed will be a theme for us this draft I think. Will also say again how much I appreciateby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com

Because if not then I'd say Coach Wendell deserves most of the credit. He's the guy who would be getting the axe if the unit was terrible. Also no idea if Wendell is a coach who only has aspirations to run an OL but if he is one of those then he will be worth his weight in gold.by merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
Quoteleafnose I guess the other good news is that the guys at WR will have been working with him as the "scout team" and have some repertoire. Yeah that's going to be a very interesting part of this. That question of who does he have rapport with that leads to who he looks to when he needs an outlet. Allen might be that guy. Higs will be out which means that bigger role is thereby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
1. Pay Dotson. And hopefully that is us locking him up prior to FA so we can focus on adding one other good starter to help upgrade this roster. 2. Move Jackson to RG. Jackson would probably be very good at RG. Problem is to do this we need to fill LT. Since FA is very tough to find LTs in, that leads to entering the draft with a hole on the OL which I would prefer not to do as it makes LTby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteRockRam Stafford a no brainer. Same with AD. Jones has had nagging injuries most of the year. Higbee dinged his shoulder last week. Noteboom a bad wheel. Valuable sub. Kupp....dinged up. Williams....who would take the chance? I think we're close to saying that the offense runs through him, now. Nacua will only play until he breaks the rookie WR record. Hope its in the first quarterby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
Yeah it's crazy. I hope they make a series of terrible hires so they can get a realistic grounding. It is sorely needed for that bunch.by merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
I would focus moreso on the owner than the roster. He's not some young coordinator who has to jump in this hiring window. He can pick and choose his location. If there are 8 teams with an opening he will be the favorite for 8 jobs and rightly so. Harbaugh fought with his GM in SF and that weak owner undoubtedly left an impression on him. I seriously doubt he gets lured into another situationby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
If he gets a combo platter of National Championship and big dolla signs from the NFL it might not matter how much he's enjoying the kids. I think there's a reasonable chance he gets that particular platter too.by merlin - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteRockRam You talk about "blind spots" as though you or others can see things McVay doesn't. We have no knowledge of what goes on behind the scenes and why certain decisions are made as they are, and there is no way that Coaches just tell the media everything they know or why they did what they did. Sure, our Kicking has been abysmal. I hate it. You think McVay doesn't know that?by merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
Feels so good. We're the team that has nothing to lose now. Not a bad place to be. :beercanby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
