And I have done a 180 on Vinnie. He very quickly got "in the know" about the Rams, I'm not sure how but he did. Early on he wasn't rally worth much of an effort to read but now he seems to know as much as anyone. Alden is OK too, but Vinny has become a must read. When he is quoted on here I always click that post. Remember when Bernie was readable, Karraker was really good too.by LesBaker - RamsFootballFans.com
I was totally having a shrug my shoulders moment when DV left and MM took over......but again I knew you mean since DV not since he left. One day I will be at his winery, and if he is there I will tell him "Dude I love you, except for that whole retiring thing".by LesBaker - RamsFootballFans.com
And I am going to make a confession, and if you laugh at me or ever bring this up again I will hire someone to fly to Iowa and punch you in the nutz. I didn't want DV to leave, at all, I really liked him as the HC+. And I say HC+ because we all know he was more than the HC, he wore other hats. Now comes the confession. I figured Martz would be every bit as good because of how the offense was iby LesBaker - RamsFootballFans.com
How many had the same number of picks as the Rams. What round were each of the lineman drafted?by LesBaker - RamsFootballFans.com
So after a year or two yeah they could dump him..........but if he's in the cheaper portion of the contract maybe you keep him. I'm hoping McVay can use him wisely like we saw a couple of years ago.by LesBaker - RamsFootballFans.com
1. They have Tom Brady. He is in any discussion for greatest ever and some people would put him there right now. 2. They almost always have a good to excellent OL. They also have the "real" triumvirate IMO. QB/HC/Owner The owner doesn't just want to make money, he's also very interested in winning and getting into the post season and trying to win titles. The GM is Billby LesBaker - RamsFootballFans.com
I wonder if we are going to hear a report about a failed drug test or something serious. Maybe even a failed physical..........it's just odd that they would let him go like this. I read an article that he has over 130 catches and 1600 yards the last two years. Maybe not a Pro Bowl level guy but that good production.by LesBaker - RamsFootballFans.com
All the on air draft experts. Just as foolish LOL. We don't see you very often.by LesBaker - RamsFootballFans.com
They led the defense right to the ballcarrier.......it was a nice defensive play but while following the WR he was covering it led him to the tackle. the motion would have been better from the other side duh!by LesBaker - RamsFootballFans.com
Draft.......there is NO truth surrounding it they ALL lie LOLby LesBaker - RamsFootballFans.com
The NFL and NBA draft are HUGE rolls of the dice because the college game and pro game are so vastly different. Baseball doesn't pit one guy against another with stuff going on all over, its the pitcher and the batter for the most part, and there is NO "double teaming". And they face off on a static field with few moving parts. Football and basketball players are in constant motby LesBaker - RamsFootballFans.com

They would be working for a team rather than a network that is flailing about and they would be making millions of dollars a year. Trust me, don't take anything you hear on any ESPN affiliate/outlet as gospel. It's "reality" sports talk radio.by LesBaker - RamsFootballFans.com
You may recall the interview where he said that anyone even Larry, Curley and Moe could get 1000 yards behind the Rams line. It was probably true in the sense that any ok quality back could get 1000 yards. In 1987 the year after Dickerson left Charles White copped 1374, I just looked it up. He led the NFL in rushing yards that year. Up to that point he had a series of 250-300 yard seasons.by LesBaker - RamsFootballFans.com
Even in his era he was nothing special, so what did the Rams lose? A RB that wasn't that good on the field. That's all. I think the guy is a great person, would love to meet him, but he is in the HOF because of his media tenure. Name another RB that averaged under 4 YPC in his career and only managed to break 4 per tote 4 times in 13 seasons? Or in his career? He wasn't that great ofby LesBaker - RamsFootballFans.com
Maybe I am missing out, but are the rating that high for the draft? Good grief I hope not.by LesBaker - RamsFootballFans.com
That was the hugest waste of talent by Martz. The worst. I can't think of any other team in any sport that I follow that squandered what could have been the biggest string of title game appearances in the sport since Otto Graham played. It would have been similar to the Bulls in the NBA. Teams in the other conference would be playing for the right to get beaten in the SB. :) Martz to his cby LesBaker - RamsFootballFans.com
Green and Warner both played several games with the exact same players. It's no mystery, and this is certainly not a slam on Green but if Warner played all 16 games in 2000 the Rams would have won more than 10 games and rather than falling into the playoffs due to a fluke Bears win IIRC..............they may have been playing at home during the playoffs rather than playing the Saints on the roby LesBaker - RamsFootballFans.com
Warner is in the HOF.......will Green get elected or even considered? No Warner, no rings. Period.by LesBaker - RamsFootballFans.com
He needs a lower body that can help drive the upper body. His core and azz need some more power. It's easy to fix the ability to throw harder and longer. Tweak mechanics and add muscle from the ass up to the ribcage.by LesBaker - RamsFootballFans.com
And it goes directly back to what I always say. Owner/GM/QB.......those are the three most important positions on the payroll. We have seen one very good HC and one HOF QB and thankfully they were here at the same time. Other than that we've been bereft at those three positions.by LesBaker - RamsFootballFans.com

Drafting players from college would be the easiest thing an NFL team would have to do.by LesBaker - RamsFootballFans.com
Dalton had the same velocity as Newton? I would have to see that from a reliable source because I cannot imagine that is the case.by LesBaker - RamsFootballFans.com
We get it, you hate Snead because he was here when they dumped Bradford but THIS IS HIS JOB. It is what he is SUPPOSED TO DO. Guys in his position bring players in ALL THE TIME. Many don't make the roster. It didn't cost the Rams anything but an airline ticket and a hotel room. Chill out.by LesBaker - RamsFootballFans.com
This wasn't his first issue by the way. Read about the female campus officer who wrote him a ticket and what he did to her. He's a turd. The woman he sucker punched, and make no mistake if you saw the video you know, got a civil settlement and I would bet that part of the settlement is this public offering of forgiveness etc so he looks good before the draft. I mean seriously look at the tiby LesBaker - RamsFootballFans.com
Just like previous ownership this owner has a goal but winning a title is secondary and most of us know that. So as fans we have to wait for lightning in a bottle like we got from 99-01. That's pretty much the plan.by LesBaker - RamsFootballFans.com
"Hope" is ALWAYS the worst plan.........so yeah they need something a bit more concrete.by LesBaker - RamsFootballFans.com
Pretty selfish of him eh? He's a turd, and we should all wish that people like him all wake up tomorrow and hang themselves. The world would be a better place.by LesBaker - Bucky's Pub
