A saw a mock draft published today that has the Rams taking Cody Mauch in the 2nd round. They have Skoronski going to the Jets at 13 and Torrence to Buffalo at 27. They comp'd Mauch to Cole Strange, the Patriots 1st round selection last year that started all 17 games for them at OG.by Ramboni - RamsFootballFans.com
Hahaha...I noticed the same. Technically what Americans call "dinner" actually is supper while what we call lunch is actually dinner. At least we have breakfast labeled correctly!by Ramboni - RamsFootballFans.com
McVay has ADHD? That's a first. I will agree he brings a lot of energy and seems to have a high activity level but I hardly see any attention deficit nor has that been diagnosed in him to my knowledge. I will leave it to New Mexico Ram as a doctor to weigh in on that observation but I have a grandson that has been medically treated for that and see no comparable symptoms based on my own observatiby Ramboni - RamsFootballFans.com
Jonah Williams was offered to move to RT because he's not a very good LT. Which is why the Bengals signed Brown; the Cincy OL has been getting Burrow killed for the past two years and is their greatest weakness. He also makes $12.6M a year with an expiring contract. Mekhi Becton of the Jets looks like a better deal at a little over $3M if he can pass the physical after missing last year with a toby Ramboni - RamsFootballFans.com
Great!! Kamara is currently suspended by the NFL and indicted on two felony battery charges to which he has pled guilty. The Rams haven't had an RB in prison since the good old days of Lawrence Phillips. Sorry, we don't have bail money.by Ramboni - RamsFootballFans.com
Thanks, 43. Us older guys have seen far worse situations with the Rams and every year is a new challenge. I spent a lot of years hoping the Rams could just get to 8-8 and hearing negative comments but now it seems some of us have been spoiled by success. We seem to expect a playoff team since McVay has set such high expectations over the past six years. No matter the outcome of this or any year,by Ramboni - RamsFootballFans.com

With 10 picks, it's just as likely they trade up, not down. Their 2nd and a 4th, for example for a late 1st rounder. They have their targets and Trader Les will move as needed to get the talent they covet.by Ramboni - RamsFootballFans.com
No to Ramsey. But I would offer the Colts the same thing for Taylor that the Rams gave them for Marshall Faulk: a 2nd and a 5th.by Ramboni - RamsFootballFans.com
George Allen was the coach when I became a Rams fan and he was very defensive minded. In fact one of his quotes remain with me to this day: "If you can keep the other team from scoring, you'll never lose." Give me that D that will always keep you in the game no matter what. The Ravens in 2000 were that kind of team with Trent Dilfer at QB. Four sacks, four picks and a complete shut downby Ramboni - RamsFootballFans.com
Now I feel really old, thanks!!! :) I remember Tittle playing in the early mid-60's with the Giants but never really watched him since I didn't become an NFL fan until 1968.by Ramboni - RamsFootballFans.com
It was a clear holding call although a bit "ticky tac" of one. They missed a more flagrant PI on the same defender earlier. The game was really dictated by the Hurts fumble and the Butker missed FG, both in the 1st half. Had those not occurred, that late call would not have had the same impact. Referees should not be bound by when a call is made, i.e. situational awareness. A penaltyby Ramboni - RamsFootballFans.com
I think he fumbled that away in the first half.by Ramboni - RamsFootballFans.com
An analysis showed that without a doubt, the deflated footballs used had little to no impact on Brady throwing the ball. The real measure was the ability of the running backs to avoid fumbling. During that time the Patriots had no great RB's yet their lack of fumbling numbers year to year were staggering by comparison to the rest of the league. Placing it solely on Brady seemed unfair since the nby Ramboni - RamsFootballFans.com
"The road to he!! is paved with good intentions." The NFL has had an issue with racism from management for decades which reflected (and still does) a wide swath of people in America. There is nothing wrong with attempting to enforce a level of equality concerning race however the execution of it is what is lacking. The Rooney Rule is flawed and everyone knows it but the NFL is tryingby Ramboni - RamsFootballFans.com

Too funny, my son and I had a long discussion yesterday and his comments were virtually identical to yours. I typically don't buy into the conspiracy stuff but after the Seahawks game and the blatant calls made and missed, it does cause me to pause and say "Hmmm...." I hope we are wrong.by Ramboni - RamsFootballFans.com
He's not going anywhere. He loves coaching, it's in his blood, this is what he does and has always wanted to do since he was a kid. McVay has always been aware of the stresses and strains of the profession since his grandfather was in the game and from the years Sean spent as an assistant coach. He is charismatic and well spoken so TV is definitely in his future in 10-20 years but for now, this iby Ramboni - RamsFootballFans.com
Done what "two years in a row"? His last year was winning a SB and prior to this year none of his teams had a losing record. He expects a coach to win the SB every year?by Ramboni - RamsFootballFans.com
I hate to say I told you so but....well, I did. After the Raiders game how many in here were clamoring about Baker and projecting him getting big money from another team as a starter? As I said, his physical skills are impressive but he's average at best due to his inconsistency. One day he could be great but he is, at best, a back-up QB in the NFL. Just ask Cleveland and Carolina or the rest ofby Ramboni - RamsFootballFans.com
100% Dog, I'm the same way. Officials make mistakes just like players. But this game they seemed to be deaf, blind and dumb at critical junctures to the point of it appearing that they wanted Seattle to win. I counted five critical bad or no calls from the 4th quarter through the OT and finally got so disgusted I turned off the game before the final FG. Williams was blocked into the punter buby Ramboni - RamsFootballFans.com
Well, we know of two teams not interested in him: Carolina and Cleveland. I have been beating this drum since he arrived, he's inconsistent like many average to slightly above average QB's and most of them get replaced sooner rather than later. His best option is to do everything he can to stick to the only team in the NFL interested in him: the LA Rams. Unless he wants to be a back-up somewhereby Ramboni - RamsFootballFans.com
McVay loves coaching, it's in his blood. He's not going anywhere. If he wants more money, his agent can get him all sorts of endorsement deals in LA to supplement his income.by Ramboni - RamsFootballFans.com
Like so many middling QB's, consistency game to game is what separates the good from the great. There is no doubt that Baker has the ability and has shown it many times like he did against the Broncos. The question then becomes, can that overcome some of the poorer games he has had before. The blame for bad games is not always on the organization and coaching. Baker is in the mold of Wentz, Goff,by Ramboni - RamsFootballFans.com
Ever do something you really love doing? Sean McVay really loves to coach, he may not love talking and announcing as much. It is really simple in my mind. Do what you love and you'll never work a day in your life. It may be tough but I suspect it is what he has always wanted to do and isn't planning on leaving it anytime soon.by Ramboni - RamsFootballFans.com
...that only one team put in claims for off the waiver wire? NFL owners and GM's know who Baker is, they know his talent and have had several years to evaluate him. He's not a surprise and just because he had a damned near miraculous comeback doesn't wash away all of the negatives of his past performances. The Browns ditched him for a morally questionable guy that missed nearly the entire seasonby Ramboni - RamsFootballFans.com
I'm never one to blame the refs, they try to do their jobs to the best of their abilities and sometimes they screw up. But last night at one point I'm wondering if they had bets in Vegas on the Raiders. They missed several calls on Las Vegas but seemed to catch every one of them on the Rams. After they crushed Dixon on that one punt and threw a flag I knew it was an obvious roughing call. Then thby Ramboni - RamsFootballFans.com
I have Amazon Prime and watched the first half before pausing it to play a game online with a friend. It was late but at least I could fast forward past commercials and between plays so I figured, what the heck this won't take long at midnight. With that ending, I stayed up half the night watching the interviews and basking in the win and my adrenaline charge. I'm tired this morning but by Godby Ramboni - RamsFootballFans.com
My son called me yesterday morning and told me he was buying me a Mayfield jersey for Christmas. Yuck, yuck...we had a long conversation about the move and I told him "Wow, you think he might lose a game for us? We can do that quite well without him." But I was enthused nonetheless and really wanted Baker to start or play last night. This morning I texted him my jersey size and toldby Ramboni - RamsFootballFans.com
