Something to think about…there are four running backs on the roster…Kyren Williams (5/164/22), Ronnie Rivers (UDFA), Royce Freeman(FA), Zach Evans (6/217/23)…The hope, I believe, is that Evans, who actually grades out more like a third round pick without a chaotic college career…can develop and learn how to do what Williams and Rivers did to get playing time…block and protect Matthew Stafford…by JoeT13B - RamsFootballFans.com
He is more valuable than Tutu ...and I like Tutu...He has value...it's too bad for himself and the team that he lacks return skills.by JoeT13B - RamsFootballFans.com
Thanks for clicking on and the comments...I really appreciate it....You made the point about Avila moving to center...I've mentioned that in the past but failed to do so yesterday...Good point.. It's great that we are talking about improving a solid offensive line instead of trying to make a terrible offensive line just average.by JoeT13B - RamsFootballFans.com

Demarcus Robinson’s age might work to the Rams advantage…he’s 29 and about 15 guys are ahead of him in a crowded market that includes…Tee Higgins…Michael Pittman, Mike Evans, Hollywood Brown, Calvin Ridley, Darnell Mooney, Gabe Davis…OBJ and Tyler Boyd. Also there are more receivers coming out in the draft to add to the glut. I do believe the Rams need to draft another receiver given Kupp’s agby JoeT13B - RamsFootballFans.com

Those were lean days...by JoeT13B - RamsFootballFans.com
1979—George Andrews, Nebraska (80/58starts, 12.5-sacks) A really underrated performer who rose during the 1981 & 1982 dip, and then in the middle of his career year—1984—he rips his knee…and rips it again during his comeback…and rips the other the season after that and by 1986 he was forced to retire. 2005—Alex Barron, Florida St. (Traded 5/10/2010 to Cowboys for LB Bobby Carpenter) Baby JoeT13B - RamsFootballFans.com
What I’d really like to see before the draft…extend Ernest Jones now if he’s willing…Off-Ball linebacker is not—with the exception of a limited few—Warner, Wanger & Roquan—a position to invest big dough in. But Jones (3/104/21) has shown he can get to the quarterback…and I think he’s someone that can be utilized more in that capacity… #RamCave #RamView #KlostermanHOFby JoeT13B - RamsFootballFans.com

I love the idea of the Bolts moving back to San Diego...please make it so...by JoeT13B - RamsFootballFans.com
I'm not disagreeing with anybody...I love hearing all the thoughts....but what's interesting is think where Houston drafted Anderson...and where the Rams drafter The Conductor... You just never know if anybody is "surefire"...that's why I always lean towards moving back and collecting more picks in the Top 100..a mistake (Stetson Bennett?) in the later rounds is easier to move off ofby JoeT13B - RamsFootballFans.com
As thinking begins about the NFL Draft and the anticipation of having a full complement of picks builds, consideration should be, what if the Rams trade out of the first-round? Instead of paying for a first-round pick, teams move back and accumulate more choices inside the first 100. #RamView #RamCave #KlostermanHOFby JoeT13B - RamsFootballFans.com
Higbee was drafted before McVay arrived and Gerald Everett taken in the second round was McVay's (Snead as well) first pick (2nd Rd)...and it was very soon after they extended Higbee and let Everett run his course... I get the feeling blocking is probably what's held Brycen Hopkins back/4th Rd.... #RamCave #RamView #KlostermanHOFby JoeT13B - RamsFootballFans.com
With Tyler Higbee sidelined...Hunter Long coming off a knee injury....and Brycen Hopkins a free agent.... This is obvious Davis Allen's time...but could the Rams be in the market for a TE in the back of the draft? (Allen was taken 5/175 last year out of Clemson)... #RamCave #RamView #KlostermanHOFby JoeT13B - RamsFootballFans.com

I saw an okay to good quarterback get carried to a playoff victory by his team, his coach, and his GM. I do not dislike Goff…I’m happy for the Lions…I’ll be rooting for the Lions…but Goff couldn’t carry Matthew Stafford’s jockstrap. #RamView #RamCave #KlostermanHOFby JoeT13B - RamsFootballFans.com

Both teams are ascending...could this be a classic with legs going forward? Note: The Rams and Lions met in the playoffs once. December 21, 1952 Detroit 31, Los Angeles 21—Briggs Stadium 47,645 Rams fall behind 14-0…but a 14yd pass from Van Brocklin to Tom Fears in the second quarter makes it 14-7…by the end of the third the Lions lead 24-7… Deacon Dan Towler scores on a 5yd run…and Vitamby JoeT13B - RamsFootballFans.com

“Sitting our starters is the right thing to do…”…So why aren’t we benching Nacua…because of a stupid record?…Record or not, playing on Sunday is not going to effect Nacua’s positioning for a second contract…He shouldn’t be playing…if he gets hurt…he gets popped…? The very people in the KBM wanting him to play are going to the ones whining about why he was playing. #KlostermanHOF #RamCave #RamVby JoeT13B - RamsFootballFans.com

Thanks for offering your thoughts...This was something cooking in the back of my head...and I had it in my notes that he was fired January 4th, 1983...and I was wondering what others have thought about him...He's easy to dismiss from thought...but he and DC Bud Carson did a number on Staubach with that 7-defensive back scheme in 1979... #RamView #RamCave #KlostermanHOFby JoeT13B - RamsFootballFans.com
When you think of Rams head coaches...Because it ended poorly with bad seasons in both 1981 and 1982....Ray Malavasi has been discarded...His first three seasons the team went 32-16...Three playoff births, two conference finals, and one Super Bowl appearance...
