QuoteRamsdude [ I bet Larrie Marmie would even look like a genius with that much talent! lol Larry Marmie would not have been able to coordinate the Steel Curtain for Christ Sake. He was just the worst and I wish Mike Martz could have understood that and moved on, but he could not, he was loyal to Marmie and had no reason to be.by den-the-coach - RamsFootballFans.com
David & Mike Shula had their struggles as Head Football Coaches as well as coordinators. However, Chris like his Grandfather Don Shula is coaching the other side of the ball with hope that the ability to coach, skips a generation and Chris Shula is more like his grandfather then his father David, who was 19-52 as Head Coach of the Cincinnati Bengals.by den-the-coach - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRockRam Kupp and Nacua are at least as big. And, while I'm sure Whittington might be fast, I'd bet he's not faster than Nacua even though his 40 time was faster. I guess game speed and in and out of breaks, maybe, but I was trying to focus on the timed speed and size and the combination thereof. I guess it went south.by den-the-coach - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRambone Gonna love J-Whitt in a Rams uni but let’s not spread myths. Again I am focusing on the combination. Whittingham is the biggest & fastest receiver combined on the roster. The combination of size & speed.by den-the-coach - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRams43 Isn’t Atwell even faster? Yes, but I was going for size/speed combination.by den-the-coach - RamsFootballFans.com
Standing at 6'1 205lbs and running a 4.47 40, Whittington is the biggest and fastest WR on the roster. Also he was a running back in High School, so watch him for those jet sweeps. Durability was an issue early on at Texas, so his best football could be ahead of him. Also taking into effect, that Eric Yarber, who IMO, is the best WR Coach in the NFL, will now be coaching him.by den-the-coach - RamsFootballFans.com
In the past, the only return options were WR's and the Rams would have to carry and extra player at that position group for returns. Now with Kenny Logan & Boston Scott, that ensures the Rams have options at other positions. Boston Scott will most likely be the favorite unless the others pop. Xavier Smith offers the most upside because of his speed, but again, they might have to carry 7 WRby den-the-coach - RamsFootballFans.com
Well, everyone knows how I feel about Joshua Karty, so I will leave that alone. However, Brennan Jackson is someone that could actually be a better pro than a collegiate player because of scheme. I know the Rams loved him and ensured they got him, so although he will be a reserve IMO, I see some huge upside there. Also how can you not love Limmer, Limmer, Chicken Dinner? I believe he might haby den-the-coach - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteDavid Deacon I thought I have read that he is the best kicking prospect in the last 5 to 10 years. Still is seems like a really long time since a kicker was drafted really high. I remember when Russell Erxleben was drafted in 1979 on the 11th pick and at the time it was shocking. I am sure there are others drafted in early rounds but typically even good kickers get drafted late. Sby den-the-coach - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteShecky Can someone explain the Tutu hate. He didn't draft himself in the 2nd round. Well, the Tutu dislike combined with the Creed Humphrey lovefest. Overall, Atwell is much better than I thought he would be and I love his speed. I do believe the Rams like bigger receivers in order to be able to block like they prefer, but until the Rams have someone that can stretch the field like Tutby den-the-coach - RamsFootballFans.com
Going to be a banner year for Chatarius and I like Xavier Smith too as the punt return man. Have to have the ability to stretch the defense so you do not suffer from Vertical Congestion.by den-the-coach - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteNewMexicoRam Every shot of her she's wearing horns! Jourdan Rodrigue reported that during the draft process, she had a chance to converse with Karty and his parents and his mother told her that she felt her son was the perfect fit for the Rams and she hoped the Rams drafted him. Well, smart woman, looking at the landscape of the NFL, the team that desperately needed a kicker and would sby den-the-coach - RamsFootballFans.com
Love his mom in horns and I am not worried if Karty has to make a tackle, he is 6'2 208lbs, good size, but hopefully the Rams will not have to count on him making many of them. Karty has a strong leg and seems wired right to be an upper tier kicker. Smart guy, Engineering student from one of the top schools in the country. I expect great things from this Cardinal alum.by den-the-coach - RamsFootballFans.com
The zone blocking scheme was developed at the collegiate level for the military academies, who because of weight limits, had smaller, quicker offensive linemen. The gap scheme with the size now up front with Jackson, Jackson, Avila, Dotson & Havenstein is the biggest OL the Los Angeles Rams have had ina very long time and I am looking forward to running right over Fred Warner and those penciby den-the-coach - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotesix2stack Quotealyoshamucci He is. He has punt returner and slot specialist written all over him. He's like Renfrow but tougher. I guess we shall see. He kind of reminds me of T.J. Moe, Former WR Mizzou. Tough, great hands, but had speed limitations and is Coaching football somewhere I think. He has never returned punts or kickoffs for that matter. If he did not do it college, heby den-the-coach - RamsFootballFans.com

I have them both making the roster. Omar Speights is very good in coverage and I am hoping that will send Troy Reeder packing, but it might send Jake Hummel out because somebody loves Reeder. Andrew Goodlow was given the highest bonus for the UDFA class so I believe he will be part of the rotation on the defensive line.by den-the-coach - RamsFootballFans.com
Finally had home field advantage with Dallas at the Coliseum, however, Ron Jaworski had just won games against the Steelers on Monday Night last game of the year plus did a great job leading the Rams over the St. Louis Cardinals in the Divisional Round. However, Knox went with Harris, who was injured, but deemed healthy against Dallas instead of playing the hot hand. Understandably turning turnby den-the-coach - RamsFootballFans.com
However, they were able to draft Zuerlein and found Matt Gay so they just thought they could do it again. Last year, IMO, woke them up. They brought in two kickers last year that were 1 & 2 for the Lou Groza award in Christopher Dunn & Tanner Brown, but both failed. Then they went the Veteran route with Brett Maher, but he missed too. They pivoted to find a young kicker on a practiceby den-the-coach - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRamgator Losing Bell and Holohan set the O WAAAAAY back. Back then NFL coaching staff coached the Senior Bowl and Robinson fell in love with Cleveland Gary then. Like posted, Gary had small hands and put the ball on the ground often.by den-the-coach - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteNewMexicoRam I'm sure the Rams will bring in another kicker. They have two kickers in Tanner Brown and Joshua Karty. IMO they will not add another barring injury.by den-the-coach - RamsFootballFans.com
Although Kyren Williams was very good in the red zone, I believe the Rams will give the ball to Corum inside the 10 yard line. Corum has more power than Kyren so I expect Corum to be the goal line RB besides being an excellent 1A RB overall.by den-the-coach - RamsFootballFans.com
They get too much credit when they win and not enough grief when they lose. Some of their fan are questionable to post the least and their draft room looked like a bunch of corporate castoffs. Although I do thank them for beating the 49ers last year.by den-the-coach - RamsFootballFans.com
Rams liked him early and now he is in horns. Cooper makes great tires.by den-the-coach - RamsFootballFans.com
Rams win the Super Bowl and Chris Shula is the next Head Coach of the Dallas Cowboys because if the Rams are successful and Shula's defense showcases aggressiveness and ranks well, Shula will be on everybody's shortlist for Head Coach and most likely will be gone after one year.by den-the-coach - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRams43 So you’re worried that Stoops will take opportunities away from Atwell and Xavier Smith? Not really I do not fear Stoops at all, I just do not understand why everyone seems to be looking at him plus the article had him actually making the squad. IMO, I just don't see it and not sure what he would actually bring to the table. Again I have confidence that someone like Xavier Sby den-the-coach - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRams43 Quoteden-the-coach And he has not played a down yet. He is too slow, Atwell is much better and so is Xavier Smith. How can you be tired of a player that hasn’t taken a snap even in practice yet? He’s a UFDA and cost nothing. What’s the harm in seeing if he can be helpful in some area, possibly special teams? I just do not think the Rams need a short slow WR on the squad. Iby den-the-coach - RamsFootballFans.com
