my gut is that Watkins is a top 10 WR. Right now, he is looking like a top 50 WR though. I think your idea on treading water with a contract where the big bonuses kick in for Year 2 or Year 3 would be perfect to give it more time. I don't know the deal, but he does seem a little slower. Maybe his foot is a problem. He has had a few concentration lapses that were missed big plays that tby Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
He now has space to run.by Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
teams that have been bad for a while really take a while to believe they are all that and complacency doesn't set in They still have plenty to prove. The Rams are somewhat similar to the Boston Celtics in the NBA. There are so many players that are in a situation for their career that every game is important. Young players trying to get more time. Stars trying to prove contract worth.by Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
why the urgency to change it this year while he is on the roster. Take advantage while you still have him as this could be the year the Rams win a playoff game and Austin may be the difference in that win. This isn't Drew Bennett out there going through the motions. he runs hard when he gets the ball and is a tough jitterbug that an make defenses miss.by Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
in the NFL. I have seen nothing from Cooper as a WR. Not saying he couldn't, but just never have seen anything so I don't know what it is based on. I have often said that I rather go with an unknown QB than a pass around experienced QB and get that mindset, but the difference here is in the role that Austin is working, he has done well. So, we know it is going well with Austin. We knby Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
There was confusion with the loud crowd. There was no tempo. The team was a confused team, playing slow and calculating versus playing fast and free and easy.by Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
and maybe Jerry Riceby Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
Almost dead last in every QB statistical measure and the Rams offense would be in the bottom five.by Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
but failed to make 2 big plays. I was frankly disappointed. He needs to be great not good.by Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
Players are playing better on offense by a significant margin without Fisher instead of with Fisher. That to me shows he was the problem. Now, from a personnel perspective, other than Robinson, I think he did well, but coaching offense. Imagine, this team was dead last and the 2 main players Goff and Gurley were bad. Now, they are among the top players in the league at their position.by Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
that F on offense really brought down the GPA. The defense and special teams were good I believe and I think other than Robinson, he did good on personnel. Offense, worst I have ever seen, and QBs he is completely inept. Gurley and Goff are different players this year versus last and most of that is the coaching.by Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
I read that Robinson was tearing it up with the Lions earlier in the year. Not Basically Robinson and Fisher was holding back a team that had talent from competing. It was like have 2 hands tied behind your back.by Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
I am 7-4 and tied for first and it comes down to the Saints/Rams came and me playing the correct QB. If the Rams bomb today, I am in trouble by going on in.by Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
and I am still waiting on compensation from the Rams for consulting fees.by Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
and fans are ignorant to the process. All it is on my point is observation and acknowledgment that it is very puzzling for not football people to see a guy that has one of the highest efficiencies ratings in the NFL that appears to be strong and fast with great hands and we see videos and photos with him open, to not even get a look in games.by Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
That is what I want to see and then when the CBs keep coming up, take a few deep shots.by Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
Should I play Goff or Brees in fantasy? originally I was going Brees but with the Saints injuries, should I reconsider? Also, Sammy Watkins or Cooper from the Raiders? Which one?by Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
Watkins open week after week on these videos and photos posted and he doesn't even get a look, it makes you scratch your head and wonder what in the world is going on. I just watched the above video and saw more of the same.by Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
too much confusion and lack of tempo. The Vikings dictated to the Rams just like you posted and the Rams fell into trap after trap.by Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
He will have some great games and even great years, Provided everything around him is good. Good coaching and good players Matt Ryan is similar in that any time things fall apart around him and there is adversity, his play drops off. You see Ryan this year with Jones and some other WRs banged up, not having the same results. You can go through the games and when Jones was healthier,by Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
My conspiracy theory is he came late and Rams figured out he is too expensive so they already have moved on, but the team turned out better than expected and could actually win this year so now it will be interesting. I think the coach boxes in the WRs in specific roles and Watkins is the guy that just practices sprints the entire game, going deep to clear out space. If he gets a few targetsby Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
He is one to run people straight down the field and throw it up. I do know that is what Bryant excels at, the jump ball, but I think most of the Cowboys woes are an overrated coaching staff that is predictable and the unit is underachieving. In other post, I stated that I believe Beasley would be a good player if he were on the Patriots.by Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
If Belicheck had #11 a noname, He be a Welker, Edleman, Amendola, Hogan type of player Top Runningback in the NFL (Elliot) A good #2 RB, Dez Bryant, Witten, and Beasley Plus a good young QB and the top offensive line in the NFL. It is an underachieving unit - that much is sure. I agree the WRs are not great, but they are underachieving and if they were elsewhere, my guess would be dby Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
If you watch the Bills, Jets, Dolphins, you think they are all 3-6 win type teams for the entire season, not the half way mark.by Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
and it worked for a while, but in the end you have to be able to pass the ball in the NFL unless you have a dominant defense. This coach has done a good job, but they can't squeeze out much more juice out of that team. To me, the fast, that the team is in the playoff chase, is a miracle and he should be in the running with coach of the year. McVay is the other coach, but the talent levelby Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
If Belicheck have them, this is a 500 point team. That team has the best offensive line in a long time in the league, plus playmakers. The passing game has really been underachieving for a long time even last year which is why they lost to Green Bay.by Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
Is what is unbelievable. Bills are the most overachieving team that I can remember and the Chargers are underachieving. Coaching has blown so many games by the Chargers over the past few years and this one is as bad as the previous ones. Chargers are loaded with talent. Bills on the other hand have no playmakers and somehow have a 500 record.by Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
I felt the micki mouse at line of scrimmage and not using Watkins in the passing game are the 2 things that are holding back the Rams offense. Too much confusion and lack of tempo is caused by going to line of scrimmage and changing the play multiple times.by Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
I believe they could be even better though if Watkins was used, but can't prove it.by Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
