Alaric Jackson and Joe Noteboom are competent backups in the NFL…but I’ve seen enough to know that they’re not full time starters…We know what they are…and we know they are not enough… Question becomes: Where do you take a QB? Where do you take a Tackle? What do you spend money in free agency? The offensive line was terrible yesterday…None of this is on the backs. Was there anything aboutby JoeT13B - RamsFootballFans.com
...Because I was asked...these are my thoughts... Safety: Jordan Fuller will be a free agent…gone…but the Rams always draft a safety…Beginning with TJ McDonald in 2013…Snead has drafted 11 of them… CB: The Rams will be looking at a corner. Witherspoon has given the team production…but you can’t expect a repeat of that…plus Cobi Durant and Derion Kendrick will be going into their 3rd season.by JoeT13B - RamsFootballFans.com
Finally! Someone that remembers that Lott tip away....to me...that started the road to St. Louis...nothing was ever the same after that moment...the phantom sack came after and the Rams didn't get back to the playoffs until 1999.... #RamView #RamCave #KlostermanHOFby JoeT13B - RamsFootballFans.com

...I think he's worth a phone call...Texans were on the upswing...but Mills was competent--far from a disaster--the previous two years...If it cost a Brian Allen...If it cost a Noteboom...one of those guys or a 5th or 4th rounder...He would be a real depth piece for the next two years...

....For most of this past week...I was starting to feel like this young Rams team was due for a blowout...Either they turn the corner, start playing like veterans and start winning these close one-possession games...or they hit a wall before the bye and get blown out... The Cowboys, in Dallas, are the team that could do that... As much as I try to avoid emotion--the kind that can be labeledby JoeT13B - RamsFootballFans.com
Definitely we take Havs for granted... Speaking of Ryan Tucker....I was actually remembering the regular season of 1999 when Tennessee's Kearse (The Freak)....just brutalized Fred Miller.... but in the Super Bowl Fred Miller held his own...

Havenstein is currently ranked 17th out of 74 Ts by PFF… 6-8/330, 2/57/2015-Wisconsin…in 9 years…he’s missed just 14 games…out of 137…and seven of those 14 missed came in 2019… Last season…in all that madness…he played, started, and took 1,019 snaps… This guy has been a rock…the 21st century version of John Williams…unheralded, little notoriety, but always there.

With Hunter Long designated to return...this is likely it for Hopkins. Can you see this team keeping four tight ends on the active roster? Higbee’s been extended, Davis Allen was recently drafted…The Rams chose Long in the Jalen Ramsey deal…and then there’s Hopkins…. For me...I will always appreciate Hopkins...he got the seal block on the Kupp jet sweep on fourth down in the Super Bowl... Aby JoeT13B - RamsFootballFans.com
"They were growing up, they had grown up, and they did grown up things. Paid bills, avoided debt, and were always where they were supposed to be when the clock and calendar demanded. But the Rams were a shackle and chain back to their childhood. A tie that couldn’t be broken. But it wasn’t an unpleasant shackle, or one they wanted escape from.

He wasn’t on a report today… I saw him scramble left and throw right on the TD pass to Atwell I saw him scramble for a first down on the drive that led to Higbee’s drop and Maher’s unemployment… I saw him make that throw to Nacua—on his great catch.

The Rams lost their fourth game of the season, their third by one score or less…the outlier being a 9 point loss to Philly, 23-14… In the four losses…the Rams have lost 7, 3, 9, 7…26-points…6-points average per loss… No one is kicking this team’s butt…and with the exception of a very very few—everyone expected this team to get its butt kicked over and over… No one expected any of these lossby JoeT13B - RamsFootballFans.com
The Watt pick was early in the second half...the Rams responded...took the lead and control of the game....It's 17-10....Higbee drops a pass that he should catch...Maher misses a field goal and is now unemployed....The Stafford interception/Watt pick was HORRIBLE....but the team didn't collapse...in my opinion....

I've never disliked Higbee...solid blocker...but I was really surprised they didn't make him a cap casualty this last spring...and I was totally shocked when they extended him three years... He's 30 now, and turns 31 on January 1st. The TE position as evolved so much...I get blocking from a guy like Skowronek at an economy rate...but the TE in 2023 is really just a thicker WR....
