Couldn't help myself, Classical. I'm sure you've had similar urges yourself. All in fun. :peace And I'll bet, besides being nearly as tall as or new RB, that her elevator goes all the way to the top. it has to run in the family. :thumbsupby mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Will someone please throttle Goodell? I remember when he first came in, had the young rookies come to his office, and made an almost religious ceremony out of worshipping the shield and what it stood for. What has happened since, Roger? Is every corner of that shield you can chip off, every gleaming inch ofits surface to be defaced and tarnished for money? You needn't say a thing. I thiby mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com

What a great personal comeback story this could be. I've written before about what overwhelming parental demands can do to a child.

Problem with the Rams in recent years was articulated by Stafford in a halftime pep talk: They need to finish opponents late in games, put them away. If aggressive defense got you there, don't go prevent. If the passing game got you ahead, maybe tone down the high-risk plays but don't change the percentage of run/pass play calls by much. If a pass/run balance got you there and the run is workby mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
What I know of him comes only from watching a few highlight tapes, in which he remonds me more of Khalil Mack in in speed, relentless pursuit and how he bends the corner.by mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
No reason why Hoecht can't use his rush skills from the DE position. Maybe we're seeing the beginning of a DT/DE rotation that will put extra pressure on QB's in long yardage passing downs, and keep our best DL players fresh.by mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
I see what you mean. Hands. Outstanding hands. Good sense of what's happening around him. Can't tell much else from the highlights. Seems slow downfield, we'll see what develops in camp. He's got an uphill challenge to find a seat in our WR room.by mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
I think by year's end Whittington could become a valuable part of the Rams passing attack, more than a backup. I'd like to see him get snaps enough to prove himself - and if he does, use him on running downs, especially short yardage where he could block or take a quick play-action pass and plow an overmatched corner. The rest of the time, he splits with ARob and maybe Tutu, or lets Kuppby mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Unfair. What I had for dinner was much less glorious, and Nap's is closed. And I'm left with this craving... Besides, you've shown a steakburger and I can't post a photo that competes with that. You win - and for that I'll buy you one of mine if you make it to the Bitterroot Valley. :thumbsupby mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
I'm no Nakua, but played basketball for a lot of years and never once had a leg injury, or even an ankle sprain. His balance and natural ability to correct himself during a fall lead me to believe he'll be OK. Now if his offseason sport were rodeo, that's a different matter. Now if you're talking the basketball injury from elbows to the face while going up for rebounds against bigger guys witby mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
I wonder: In the photos I've seen, his arms look a little shorter than required for certain essential skills. And I'm not talking about football. For example, once having used the bathroom, shall we say for the sake of decorum, how does he reach behind himself to... On second thought: is that what makes him so mean? :lol1 :lol1by mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Thanks! I threw this in for a reason when comparing a primadonna to a football player: "Seriously, I'd rather have a stud who might lack the natural abilities of a Harrison, but who will fight for the ball, fight for yards, block and play ST's willingly and can be depended upon to give all that he has to make the team better - even if he were a late round pick."

The Senior Bowl weighs heavily in the Rams' evaluations. By comparison, the combine yields interviews and measureables thatcan either confirm or tell a bit more about what we're seeing on the field. The Senior Bowl gives a better example of how they play football.by mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
I have two: 1, Harrison Jr. Hasn't yet signed standard player agreement re: endorsements, etc. with Players Association. Would he take this stance if his name were Hickenson? You don't walk into new situtions (such as being highly selected to launch a multimillion $$ career) and start by throwing your weight around against the established protocols instead of simply being gracious - at least aby mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Or maybe a Whopper. Or better yet, the best burger in Montana, the 12 oz. Special at Nap's Grill in downtown Hamilton, made from local open pasture grass-fed beef, topped with grilled onions and sauteed' mushrooms. And all the trimmings from there that you care to pile on, plus their own special horseradish sauce by special request. :thumbsup Several of those will do me right well until Aby mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
When you go looking for a trade the team approached has the leverage, the negotiating power. The questions and second-guesses (starting with Mel Kiper's) regarding "They paid too much - next year's second was more than they should have paid," are senseless at that point. If the other team had come to the Rams and said, "We're accumulating picks for next year - would you conby mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Or Puka. Or Kyren. Or a starting OL. The injury bug reduced a 2021 "run it back" team with a legitimate chance to make it to the dance again to a shambles. It took us until that magical bye week last year to recover. In the playoffs we could have, should have, beat Detroit and the officials by two scores. Playing against Detroit only, we'd have won.

I think we're all anticipating Verse and Fiske as starters; from there, who creeps into the situational and backup slots? Let the learning and competition begin! The defensive backfield will all-of-a-sudden look better because of amped-up pressure from the pass rush.

We won't worry about the stragglers either - unless one of them makes it. Dis you take meal and bathroom breaks while compiling and posting all this information? Never mind... This is above and beyond the call of duty. :bravoby mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Why, I wonder, did Snead make all that pre-draft noise about going all-in on offense, surrounding Stafford with more key players? 8-)by mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Would he get the same attention and hype? And how would that affect his draft status? I remember the last WR we drafted who came in with a father lineage pedigree. Good kid, and the surname helped him some as he knew the NFL game well enough coming in, but the bloodline didn't give him the instinct or desire to go up and fight for a contested catch. Eventually his shortcomings got him a tickeby mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
No. Close, but not the same. The new guy is shorter (!!!!!!!:snicker!!!!!!!) than Kyren. You should have noticed that. And he's heavier than Kyren. Back in the day we'd say he's built like a brick - what was it - fireplug? Not sure which of them has the slowest 40 time. :spintounge But that's a criteria, too.by mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Please elaborate. These days my thoughts are divided between football and fishing, with fishing soon to eclipse football for a few months. I was out twice this past weekend and didn't have a single thought about short running backs. Yet, I sometimes think about fishing when it's football seasons, especially on those 'truth or dare' crisp autumn afternoons when the trees are turning color, therby mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
If that's what he wants, that's not what he's getting. Unless this new bowling ball (5'8" and over 200#?) is a thumper inside, we still don't have that tough yardage back who can get yards that aren't there. Kyren was a pleasant surprise last year; he can get low and find a crease but that's not the same as being big and strong enough to push a pile or simply truck somebody who's in the wby mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
