QuoteRam Fan Teacher Hey Zack, Google "Grand Park" in Westfield. Check out the photos (soccer fields, basketball field house, baseball/softball fields, etc.). New multi-million dollar sports facility in Westfield. It will blow your mind. My daughters have had basketball games there....unbelievable sports complex. Everything is changing in Hamilton County! Well, that's very differenby zn - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteNoblesville, Fishers, and Westfield are great places to live with a little more down to earth feel IMHO. Let me tell, 20 years ago there was nothing in Fishers but farm fields. Now look at Fishers. Interesting changes. I was in highschool there more than 40 years ago. We (as I said in another post) lived about a mile outside Westfield. It was mostly open woods and farmland --- country.by zn - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteLesBaker But it was a nice three and a half year run. I lived up near the Pyramids/Michigan Rd. The apt complex has probably since been torn down, it was considered kinda upscale. At the time Michigan Rd was not built up, the last time I went to Indy it seemed to be PACKED with all kinds of stuff. That;s right down the road from where I went to high school. ...by zn - RamsFootballFans.com
Quote9er8er And Fishers is trying to be Carmel. Which is why we preferred to live in the Noblesville/Westfield area, close to Morse, more open spaces and small town downtown areas. But it is really nice to only be a short trip away from what Carmel and Fishers have to offer when that's what we want. . I lived in...or rather in the country outside of...Westfield in high school. South of it. Smaby zn - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRam Fan Teacher I know the area well. We lived in Meridian Hills when we first moved to Indianapolis. I was at 71st and Meridian. Just down the street from Brebeuf high school and Broad Ripple (awesome little area!). Broad Ripple used to be the cool part of the northside. Is it still that way? .by zn - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRam Fan Teacher Carmel, Indiana Its the wealthiest community in Indiana I believe. Pretty much where most of your doctors and pro athletes live. And we were north of that. We were more in the farmlands. It wasn't wealthy believe me. B)by zn - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteGreatRamNTheSky I don't recall seeing Duke drop five passes on Sunday and I did watch the scrimmages there live and in person. He was very very good on the last drive of the day with Goff throwing to him and in fact caught a nice TD. I know the veteran defensive backs have taken notice of him and are very complimentary. Grits He himself talks about the drops and getting over it.by zn - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRam Fan Teacher Noblesville is a nice town and really growing. I've lived in Fishers for over 17 years (originally from up by Chicago). Welcome to the area! Not enough Ram fans around here!! Also the pizza sucks around here so if you want good pizza, go to Giordano's on 82nd street west of Castleton Mall. I lived in the city in grade school, near Butler U, and then we moved to Westfieldby zn - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteLesBaker No different than 1,000 yard rushers. It's not a decent benchmark for WR's. Go look at the rosters for those teams and you will see MULTIPLE guys contributing in the passing game. The Rams haven't had that for sure, but mostly it goes back to my point. THE QB!!!!! Yeah. And you need at least one. And they're not that rare. I counted at least 19. .by zn - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRam Rock I agree Zn. We just need to have someone truly grab the mantle of #1 WR on this team and the rest of the WR's will gain from that. I still hold out hope for Quick and Britt to be those guys. I love Tavon as a playmaker and he will always contend for most TD's on the team, but he is not a #1 in my opinion. I do like the promise of our TE's this season, and I think Higbee & Heby zn - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRustyRay But do they throw it enough? That's scheme, or can they throw it enough? The personnel. Right now I am not sure its one or the other or both. Its hard to judge them because you can put the raw stats up and it looks okay, but the attempts and #s just arent impressive at all...due to the flat out lack of passing the ball more. They are 32nd passing the ball and 32nd in TD passes, bby zn - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRustyRay I agree on Foles but he isnt the sole reason that the Rams have had issues his melt down was just that a melt down. The Rams were effective passing the ball early last season outside of the Pittsburgh game where the receivers let the team down big time. Keenum is starting to grow on me, anyone in his position who just goes to work and keeps getting better knowing that the job reaby zn - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRustyRay How can WR's look good when your O is 32nd passing the ball and 32nd in TD passes? Nobody fears the ball getting thrown over their head when playing the Rams right now. Do the WR's hold some responsibility? Sure they do...but the QB play and the Oline play do as well. Add in Coaching and scheme and the Rams just need to get better. The Rams have simply been awful passing the bby zn - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotemerlin Just look at how many teams have gone deep into the playoffs in the past 5 seasons on the back of a strong defense and a basic offense that can capitalize on field position changes. Rams are very close to what we've seen with Seattle and SF. They just need SOME offense they can count on. A definition for a #1 WR-- it doesn't matter what kind of skills he has, how he's built, wheby zn - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteDavid Deacon Maybe he is one of those guys who just plays better with pads and contract. Or maybe the one observer who reported he looked uninterested just wasn't seeing it right, which happens. Think of the number of different body language signals that could be mistaken by an outside first-time observer as "lack of interest" after seeing him in just one practice. And that has nby zn - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteJamesJM I believe what the Ram's see is what I saw. First - his 'ceiling'... he made not be 'all that'... I don't know for sure but I accept what I believe is the consensus on this board, that he's not a great physical talent. In a game, however, the man plays at 100% at all times... doesn't seem to let up no matter the situation, play call, whatever, he has one 'energy level'... aby zn - RamsFootballFans.com
Quoteleafnose As credited to the Draft Gurus of our board, Cody has taken to a starter's role. Think both Paul Butcher, and Alyo felt that Cody would find a way to shove his way to the front of the line.....literally. We'll see. Perhaps he gets kicked back to the sideline when Rob gets suited up again. And he's at LG !!! This does get interesting as G Reynolds ends up being 2nd team.by zn - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteJamesJM The football Gods don't like Ram's OL'men. Football God 1: why is it that good men, and good players, like Roger Saffold, get injured constantly, while jerks like Steve Smith make it through unscathed and become stars? Football God 2: Yes, why? Why? Football God 3: Actually we did that. All: Group laughter. :lolby zn - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRamsFanSince69 Says he's not close to returning. Hope that's wrong but the lack of info is the way Fisher gives bad news. Fingers crossed. It isn;t a big deal to the Rams though.

QuoteRams43 QuoteRustyRay Holdover injuries from last season, he played down the stretch with them. Its likely precaution no need to rush if there is even a hint of lingering issue. Might be a solid opportunity for Battle or Williams to get some reps as well and improve the depth more. Hav will be ok and we all know he can play. I'm getting kinda concerned now, Rusty.

Quotemax This stuff happens all the time to lots of teams. But I get your point. And it's pretty funny. Actually what happens to the Rams in terms of OL injuries does not happen to every team. It happens to a few different teams every year. But it doesn't happen to one team virtually every year for a decade. Not talking about "OL injuries." Or Hav. Hav's just one guy.

QuoteJamesJM Because that's the total QB starts for the Rams from all three of our current QB's. Kinda scary, no? At first, sure. A bit. Maybe. B) But at the same time, Keenum has 4 years in the league, and 15 starts. He's not a franchise qb but I think he may be the best #2 the Rams have had in years (largely because of unique intangibles)...AND he's just a placeholder. That putsby zn - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteCROMWELL21 According to Ed Werder he took less guaranteed money to be released now, as opposed to later. @Edwerderespn · 49m49 minutes ago Nick Foles agreed to accept a lower guaranteed salary from the #Rams in 2016 to win his release and be free to sign with any team I discussed this elsewhere. The idea is that that probably only applies to the 1.75 M they owe him. But we dby zn - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRustyRay The Rams QB play has been pretty marginal and the passing game has been towards the bottom of the league in attempts and ability to make plays. Well, in attempts, that was just 2015. And IMO that was combining Foles (who fell apart) with a young and then young and injured OL. In 2012, they were 17th in attempts per game, not 32nd. I don;t know maybe for you 17th is near tby zn - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRockRam While I don't necessarily agree, the general definition around this Board is that whatever a player is "worth" is defined by the size of his contract. "Worth" is a product of a market. That's really all it is. You go, if I don't pay this, someone else will. And under those conditions, you ask, do I want this player or not? That market exchange is paby zn - RamsFootballFans.com
