I saw Johnson as a nice receiver; did OK but didn't show me anything special. What did I miss? What do you see that says we should have kept him?by mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Add Whittington and Adams to the 53, make room for a draftee or other FA, subtract... who? I see Johnson as the logical choice - and keeping him raises the question: Who do you cut to keep him? Maybe coaches saw Johnson as having lower ceiling or less utility than Whittington, plus the value of Whittington's ST role. Or maybe coaches see X as eventually developing into Tutu's role - or beiby mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
There in a nutshell, folks, is a summation of the Snead roster-building strategy. It'll be fun to watch it play out - see what happens. I think this is the first of your posts I've read, and I'll be looking for more. Keep them coming. :thumbsupby mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Kupp is far from being a lockerroom and culture fit (without going too far into the area of his personal beliefs) with a team being assembled from dirtbags like Greenlaw by a HC who should have been drummed out of football for being a dirtbag mastermind.by mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Unless he's a valuable special teamer, dump him. Roster space is valuable - to some people, and to the club.by mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
... who don't keep close track but go to the games. When he makes a great grab and those casual fans look up and see number 17 and start chanting 'Puuukah!" he'll think he's getting booed. X( Welcome to the Rams, Davonte! :peace Glad to have you aboard! :bravoby mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
I see burst, deceptive speed, angular cuts that catch DB's off balance. I like what I see but that's all I know. Alyo, Dead, can you fill us in?by mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
You might have that on good information or an acurate hunch, but I'm moaning, wailing, at the possibility. No, NO, NOT Greenlaw!!!!![/b] Leave that dirty sack of foul substance for the sanitation truck to pick up. Observe: Google Greenlaw dirty player and see how many entries there are, including his quote, "I ain't no dirty player." Here's one entry: NFL world reacts to Dreby mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
They invested a lot in Tomlinson - so much potential, not enough personal discipline to control and redirect his aggression - and letting him go indicates that the Rams are again on the move to upgrade that room. The question is how, not if.by mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
It's all by accident. :lol1:peace:bravo Maybe Eric Yarber just happened to be vacationing at a resort in the Marianas and Devonte took a weenekd off from touring Japan for a quick stay, and they met over a rum punch served in coconut shells on the beach. :bravo That's as likely a story as any as to how we signed Devante Adams. :clapby mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Fact, fiction, or fantasy? Did Brady take him skiing? :lol1by mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
We can look at the numbers on the screen all we want - age, dollars, TD/int ratioo. yards, all of it - and miss the most important part of the picture. Call it intangibles. We've seen Stafford take charge of the team's effort, uplift everybody in unison, and orchestrate effortas like that last drive in the SB win in ways that very, very few quarterbacks in my long lifetime ever could. We wereby mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Who can they get that is better (in their eyes) than what Kupp would project - especially now, with $10 mil going toTutu? I have to wonder: Will Xavier break out as the Rams speedball threat after another camp? And if so, what becomes of Tutu? In the meantime, will Tutu gain three pounds a month during the offseason? Will Puka invite Whittington over for friendly workouts and train him 'til hby mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
My take along the OL is different. Avila is OK at center but more valuable at LG. At center he had challenges to call blocking schemes more effeciently, be where he was supposed to be; he should be an extension of Stafford rather than vise-versa. Much of what he brings is lost at center. That's why he was moved back to LG where he belongs. Leave him plugged in there, look for an improved Limmeby mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Funny you should mention Tutu as a wannabe Tyler. I never thought of that - I always saw Tutu and Tavon as being McVay's attempt to catch a freeze-dried Tyreek Hill.by mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Tomlinson seemed like one of those tremendously gifted undersized men who always had something to prove; small shoulder, big chip. He couldn't refrain from doing that "little extra" that would draw a penalty. Problem is, at the NFL level, opposing OC's will exploit that, coach their players to trigger it. He showed some exceptional ability in coverage in camp and pre-season gameby mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Brady must be a member of the Yellowstone Club. Nice place, as far as tthe scenery and archetecture goes; I know people who were contractors, builders, and dsesigners in various capacities in putting it together. Bad, bad reputation beyond that. Dumping sewage into the Gallatin River, lawsuits, bad blood with neighboring ranchers, bankruptcy, all sorts of under-the-table corruption behind theby mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Can Whittington play in the same spot? Yes. Is Whittington another Triple Crown receiver? Let's not be unrealistic- yet. Could Whittington pulverize a DB coming up to tackle him of an end-around (excuse me - that's the old term for what we dinosaurs used to call a jet sweep)? It'd be fun to watch. As Brian Piccolo told Gayle Sayers, Whittington may not get you over twenty all-at-once, butby mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Stats are revealing but don't tell the whole story. Limmer was an injury sub earlier than intended. He made unprepared rookie mistakes, other teams exploited the weakness, he rerlied on strength and grit which didn't fully compenste for experience, trechery, and skill. Limmer (end of season) was a different player than Limmer (when thrown in.) I'm curiously interested in Limmer's firstby mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
I'm still back to: Dump 'Boom. That frees up how many bucks, and how applied to Stafford's contract? Personally I feel badly for 'Boom, he's been a good teammate, done everything ased of him, tries hard in every way, but just can't stay available. Then you have the in-and-out RG who's up to be traded. Cap relief? Who else? My unsubstantiated hunch is that paying Stafford won't be suby mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com

Does that get us closer to a Super Bowl than bleeding a little to keep Stafford?by mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
If you read this (I tried, and couldn't get far) please be advised going in that Stuter is slanting, throwing shade and materials of more substance at Stafford, twisting the known narrative to project his own prejudices, etc. ad nauseum. He lost me when he said that NFL players shouldn't be concerned about how much money they make. WHAT??? :X :( 8-) Wrong, Bret. That's something they're allby mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Brady seems more the type to be on an island somewhere - Mediterranean, Pacific, Carribean, Epstein, someplace like that. Please, Matthew - no, no. no! Don't do it!by mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Stafford better keep a sharp eye on Brady - and a protective eye on his wife. Tom Brady has no morals when it comes to family - his or anybody else's. Giselle said in one inteview, toward the middle of it, that the subtext beneath her public insistence that Tom keep his word that he'd retire from football and spend more trime with his family was his "serial infidelaties."

So... pay Stafford $50 mil off the top, pay the rest of the team what's left. What's so hard about that? :confused :confused :confusedby mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
He's a lying, conniving, cheating, underhanded, self-as-god, narcissistic, amoral POS who is handsome, a womanizer whose marriage and family mean less than chasing strange stuff but who has the ability to stare down a defense and throw a tight spiral. In any arena other than a football stadium his life doesn't amount to much. He's not the sort of human being I'd want around my daughtrer or her siby mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
What we know is that even with Brady throwing his influence around, a team without the right pieces like the Raiders can't win the Super Bowl next year with Stafford and the Rams can't win the Super Bowl without him. :( Darth Vader coaxes Luke Skywalker to join the Dark Side. :X Stafford going anywhere will mark the end of an era.

Let's flip the script: If Stafford were with any other team right now, stuck in a negotiation where he was saying "I want what is set as market value" and the club is looking for a trade rather than ponying up, we'd want the Rams to be in contention.by mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
