QuoteSunTzu_vs_Camus ...it will just get better & better over this year. Well they play keenum-ball now, for a while, anyway. Do you think the keenum offense will be excruciatingly Boring? I do. I think it has a chance to be 'effective' but we wont see those awesome passes, Goff can make. I dont think its Fisher either. I think its the QB/WRs/Oline. Gotta have all three.by wv ram - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteSaguaro I'm sure not going to be able to turn the herd around. Have at it, guys. I'm taking notes, lol. In the meantime I'll just climb up the arroyo out of the way of the thundering hooves, and watch. But lemme just say this: I don't think it's one thing with him. I think it's an accumulation.

QuoteMamaRAMa I thought the questions Weinke asked Goff were downright condescending and stupid. Now, I know we're not privy to the entire conversation, however... there wasn't anything we did hear Weinke say here that I would call useful, positive, or productive. Wasn't Weinke a former drill sergeant in the Marines? That kind of talk may be perfectly fine for the Marine corps, but it may notby wv ram - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteHazlet Hacksaw It is disappointing that Goff could not even win the #2 job. I think that's what's stings the most. Sure the kid has potential. But how can you blame a fan base that has seen this team been hamstrung at the QB position for whatever reason for do long. It does hurt that all the recent #1 early picks have gotten on the field so quickly and this guy can't even beat out keenum andby wv ram - RamsFootballFans.com
Why the hell not. Case Keenum will be the league MVP. Bruce Arians will go 8-8. Seattle will go 7-9 49ers will go 6-10 and will begin each game with the Jimmy Hendrix version of the National Anthem. w vby wv ram - RamsFootballFans.com
I dunno how they are gonna approach it, but Goff is the one who needs the work. I mean if he's gonna be a pro QB, he's gonna have to play the game. Ya know. They cant protect him like he's a baby humming-bird or somethin. I just hope Keenum aint rusty for game one. I hope he dont need the reps he aint gonna get, apparently. And let us hope the football Gods and the ACL-Gods are notby wv ram - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRFL And no, it's not Freudian parapraxis. I really like the guy! Well the flashes of talent have been on display, with Goof. Accuracy, pocket-skills, arm-strength... So far so good. Same with Spoof. I mean, Spruce. He's shown flashes of NFL-talent. Goof to Spoof could be quite a combination in the near-future. w vby wv ram - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotewaterfield is his ability to go down at the slightest inconvenience. If your a corner running side by side with him and he is about to juke you out of your socks all you have to do is fart and he will fall down. True, he's not a tackle-breaker. Goes down easy. But still, ten TD's and all those plays called back by penalty. Lots to like, lots to be concerned about. I just hoby wv ram - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRFL It's a waste of money for me because he doesn't address the most fundamental team need. We need a WR. Two, actually. And of course NFL teams need all sorts of things. Spending the cap on the Tavon package does little for me. He's a luxury, like a high end sound system on a rusted out, '02 Chevy. And probably the worst part of this is what it says about our FO.

Quotereggae I recall folks stamping their feet when Fisher cut him Not unexpected. Austin was just too limited. w vby wv ram - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRFL I see little value in Tavon Austin. He is not a WR. He cannot do what we need from that position. He does produce, but he produces out of gimmicks that we don't really need. Give us a good WR and the rest of our offense and subtract Tavon ... and we'd never miss him. I like Snead in general. But this was really stupid. Cap money on Tavon? Please.

Yeah not exactly a lot of Hall of Famers on that list, is there. That may be the alltime weakest position in the history of the Rams. Let us all be thankful the J.Cook era has come to an end. w vby wv ram - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRamBill Ian Rapoport @RapSheet #Rams extension with WR Tavon Austin is for 4 years and worth $42 million with $30 million in guarantees, source said. 6 years total deal Is that 42 mil spread over six years? That seems reasonable. I assume he wont be around for the last two years of that contract. Thats what ? about six or seven million a year? w vby wv ram - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRockRam Havenstein improves the RT position. And Saffold to LG improves that position. Both have many games under their belts at those respective positions so it shouldn't be hard to make that move. Yeah, they'll work him in slowly, I would think. Fisher never rushes anything, it seems. When's the last time the Rams Oline looked this promising? w vby wv ram - RamsFootballFans.com

Quotemax ... long way to go, and my observations could just be neurotic reactions that I get from time to time. :) . Well, join the club. I imagine all middle-aged, long-time, hard-core Ram fans have PTSD at this point in their lives. How many disastrous, traumatic seasons have we had in the last two decades? w vby wv ram - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotemoklerman That's all they did with Keenum last year. They ran the ball, played good defense and rarely put Keenum in a position to make plays. He only averaged 26 pass attempts per game and that's including the outlier SF game where he stunk on ice. Just from what I've seen so far, I think Goff wouldn't be any worse than Keenum was last year. If they'd give the kid all the reps in pracby wv ram - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteGreatRamNTheSky Maclin seemed extra fired up about that game Saturday. Grits It was a good lesson for Joyner to learn about poise/discipline. Crafty players get the 'other' player tossed out, they dont get themselves tossed out. Cortland Finnegan understood this. Better he learn it in preseason than in a big game down the road. w vby wv ram - RamsFootballFans.com
Yes. As a 'fan' i want to see Goff in there from the first snap, but if he aint ready, he aint ready. Go with steady, game-manager-Keenum. But man, Goff throws a pretty ball. It's gonna be fun when he is ready. w vby wv ram - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteGreatRamNTheSky Vinny may be right. The game next week is the 3rd preseason game which is usually the dress rehearsal for most teams and then in the 4th game they all kind of dog it. I would love to see Mannion with the 1st team. Grits I could be wrong but doesn't fisher do it a bit different. Isn't the fourth game a bigger deal to him than most coaches? w vby wv ram - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteMamaRAMa The team is staying at an apartment community on campus and some of those apartments are a pretty good distance from the practice field, hence the additional transportation to get there, i.e., bicycles, golf carts, etc. Most of the golf carts can haul 4-5 people.

QuoteRamUK I have and I've seen it done loads of times. In fact some drunk friends on naval leave ran one into a lake one time Not smart I know, but it's what twentysomethings or even thirtysomethings do.

Quotewaterfield The "intellectual" display seems consistent with my views of most who play at that level and even in the major universities.

QuoteRamsfsninmd ....I have always thought you are too critical of Fisher, but I really do think he is not that good. He is yukking it up with the elder statesmen on offense on the team (Britt) who is as mature as an 18 year old and a #35 pick (Quick) who has been a major disappointment after a really stupid thing to do but cuts a guy who would not have made the second round of cuts later thby wv ram - RamsFootballFans.com
Quoteoldschoolramfan He looked solid in highlights. Just wish we had taken a flier on the guy. I can't stop thinking about RG III, Gurley and Austin on the same offense.
