QuoteClassicalwit QuoteFlorida_Ram QuoteClassicalwit Interesting. To me he looks slow trying to get to the sidelines in pursuit, doesn't penetrate much, can't set an edge at the LOS and isn't good in coverage. My impression of him is that he's JAG. Interesting because as I stated in my post, maybe it's just me but Ramik has shown some flashes. You make it sound like he barely made theby zn - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteLMU93 I think Wilson has been alright but as of now I agree with you. They have guys like Littleton, Kiser, Obo, and Ebukam for 2019 and beyond but they will definitely need to keep stocking up at ILB/OLB. Wilson, Hager and Longacre will all be UFAs and right now have to think it is HIGHLY doubtful that Barron comes back. I'm less worried about the inside than the outside.

Quoteramzilla And is eligible to come off PUP after 6 weeks. Players placed on the Reserve PUP may not practice or play during the first six weeks of the season. After that, teams have five weeks to return the player to practice and then a 21-day window from their first practice to activate the player to the 53-man roster. You explain it well but here's the whole thing in glorious detaiby zn - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotebigjimram21 Right about the WR not being down but the ref thought he was touched down and blew the whistle. Not sure if he would have scored, the Ram players let up with the whistle. On the block in the back, I got nothing, not sure what went into picking up the flag. Gained an extra 25 yards.

QuoteSaguaro If that ever happens. :) But we'll see how much of this respect is forced and temporary then. Is that a reply to me? I sometimes can't tell in this format. Anyway.

QuotePeoriaRa There were two questionable calls vs the Vikes, both of which ended up going the Rams way. On one, the Vikings receiver made a tough catch and fell down, then got up untouched and continued running. To me and on replay, it looked like he was totally untouched, but the refs blew the play dead so a likely touchdown was missed by the Vikings.

Quotewaterfield Yeah. As I tried to point out "images" change. As soon as Goff becomes "popular' with fans and others his image of being "cool, calm, unflappable" will also become popular. He'll be the "cool kid" we want to hang out with. Maybe he will take us back to the 50s.

QuoteSpeed_Kills After that Cards game I told you that if Goff upped his game he too would be mentioned like Mahomes Well low and behold after throwing 8 TDs the last two weeks he is (Goff) the talk of the NFL and has entered the MVP conversation after 4 weeks (yes I know early) Goff will get plenty of accolades and yes Mahomes is going to get that kind of attention when he is playing likeby zn - RamsFootballFans.com

Quotewaterfield Your right about what a man's image "should be". But images do exist and people follow what they believe they should be like.

QuoteRamsFootballFans.com I think that is the shallow nature of todays thought process. To me the tough guy image is everywhere, tattoos, piercings, clothing...etc. So I would love for Jared to keep that boyish look and help this team kick the EVER-LOVIN-CRAP out of the league for decades to come.

QuoteJamesJM but not at you, with you... because you are correct. Goff has filled out somewhat, however... his rookie year that boy looked like a single strand of spaghetti.

Lot of rave reviews this week but that can crash. And there's Wentz and Mahomes and a couple of this week's 1st round qbs. He will have to do well in the playoffs to get that kind of consistent national buzz.by zn - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteSunTzu_vs_Camus Reynolds showed little of the aggressiveness to attack that ball...and seemed kinda lackadaisical about the throw.... which wasn't THAT bad... but Reynolds made no adjustment to the ball. I was very very surprised about his lack of playing time...but if he's showing effort like that?!! I'm not surprised at all then.

Quotestlramz And he's been my starter from the gate. By the way cooks and cup weren't that highly regarded either Doh! Probably explains why am at the top of my league though the Rams defense sucked ass last night where before they're averaging about 13 points per game First they played 2 weak teams.

QuoteEternalHorns First couple weeks Goff had a few bombs that he missed. They would have been easy TD's. We left points on the field. Call it rust. Call it whatever. Doesn't matter.

QuoteDavid Deacon I think the way McVay handled the preseason will get a lot of attention this year. What won't be analyzed as much is what he did to get them ready. That is the secret sauce and is harder to replicate.

QuoteEternalHorns Short week, tough game, already tired... and they rose to the occasion. I was frustrated with them for three quarters, but super proud at the end. I don;t have a "game film analysis." So just speculating. But. There's also a strong chance that the Vikes were scheming the DL a certain way and Wade adjusted in the second half.

QuoteRams_81 Bulger was a very good QB because of Martz. He was well schooled, a good decision maker, and had good fundamentals.
