They don't usually chase the guys who have good talent but haven't lived up to it. That was a Fisher thing, the talent focus. This guy might be a steal who knows. But he had great coaching and his talent is there, yet somehow it didn't translate to the field. It's the combo of things I don't like.by merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteSoCalRAMatic I actually like Boom and think he'll be a great LT. Anchrum played RT in college. Why would you project him on the blind side? Also, there have been a lot of reports that Anchrum will be tried inside at guard and possibly even center. If/when Whit hangs 'em up I see Boom stepping in and if he can't go I can see Edwards moving out there. I don't project him to LT for the recordby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
You're a little too focused on being right or wrong my man. Truth is we're all right and wrong. From there it is about the journey, or should be, rather than the destination. :thumbsup But anyway I hope you are right. He is my favorite pick in this draft, and I am high on him as well. I feel like round 4 and later, as a matter of fact, the Rams really got down to business and made some shby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
We get to see some of Anchrum at LT. He's been talked up by the Rams as an option there. I know Boom is marginal at best, I have seen more than enough of his film to know who he is, and beyond that he is an impending FA. So I want to see what Anchrum can do, I want to see those feet and how well he can use those long arms to keep the edge types at range.by merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
that having him and Floyd on the edges is a great look. The size and rangy threat they bring together is an ominous thing for QBs. Floyd has sort of changed my outlook on edge types. There's more than one way to threaten the edge, everyone pays the speed rushers who can bend on the edge but a bigger and rangier type who has power to him can threaten too. Lewis has a long way to go of courseby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com

I do think you made excuses in your mind for Goff way too long. We have had that conversation.

So now everyone who thinks Stafford is going to explode in this offense happen to be Goff supporters? Please. I was calling Goff out for his play all season long. I argued with quite a few folks on this board about it. The guy couldn't anticipate pressure up front. He couldn't get through his reads. He couldn't even anticipate route types vs coverage, there were routes he stood there andby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
Yeah and I don't know which of these guys, if any, end up being the big difference makers for us. But every single one of them seems to love the game. From the roster building side the Rams are without a doubt consistent at finding guys who fit their "We Not Me" culture. I like Rochell's talent that's for sure. Just like with Harris.

QuoteRockRam First, any thought that Matt Stafford is going to flop borders on tin foil hat stuff. The guy can spin the ball, read D's with the best of them, and has amassed huge yards and stats for 12 years. Second, if the logic is that it takes time for Stafford to absorb and operate the offense, then of course there is a honeymoon period to allow for this. Although I don't think it will plaby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
That you're only as good as the players you have on the field. Coaching has a huge impact on the game. Great ones get all 11 on the same page quickly, get them all playing fast. They don't put up with guys who loaf and the non-performers. They build a confidence among their players week to week through the season. They properly align their needs with the front office and scouting dept. Anby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRamgator New players.........Draft picks ESPECIALLY. Schedules can change too with one or two injuries. With that said, if Stafford stays healthy, we should see substantial improvement on the O. SOMETHING just was not right with Goff. So I see it similarly to what you list above though I am very confident of that substantial improvement. Goff could not accurately read defensive fronts oby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteRamgator They MIGHT have consulted with three people on this pile of garbage look. I REALLY miss the days when the NFL used Starter for jerseys and merchandise.

Quoteden-the-coach TE Coach plus Passing Game Coordinator could be on some short lists in 2022 giving his old pop one more shot at the NFL. That would be cool to see.

Quoteroman18 He's human he's going to have a game where things go south, when that happens it'll be interesting to see how the crowd (board) reacts.

They drafted him for his physicality. The guy is strong and tough to move. He'll sub in at 5T for us this season at the very least and on the interior DL on passing downs. But I don't expect him to play edge for us. May be way off there but I think he's heavy footed and going to be a DL at this level. B Brown I expect to win the 5T job. So both those guys will be felt this season IMO.by merlin - RamsFootballFans.com

Right price being basement-level pay that you would pay a guy who is a backup type. This insistence by some of the fans that Blythe was some sort of answer to the Rams is incorrect. It's also been elevated by Jourdan's being duped by the team's typical spin on players they're not really interested in, as well as PFF's idiotic grades on Blythe's play. Both were wrong.

They're doing the same thing the media does, which is projecting with too much emphasis on last season. If they actually looked a bit deeper there is zero chance Akers isn't in the top half at least.

QuoteRockRam I've heard her say that they really like Brewer, who can play 4 OL positions (opt out last year). Anchrum can play all 5 (according to her).
