What was left - Higbee and Donald? So yes, McVay built and shaped this team. And he has drafted some good players given their draft position. Ever hear of Cooper Kupp? And you have to look at draft picks in the light of trades. So he used firsts and other picks on Ramsey, and Stafford, A-Shawn Robinson etc - so that looks like a winning formula to me. Also free agents - the coach has a sayby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
All that talent - not even close to 53, but who's counting and yet - they combined for 4 wins in 2016 and not even 8-8 in the years before that.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
The 'ol drop a flaming bag of dog poop and ring the doorbell. Some gems in these 2 posts from board trolls - McVay just runs what he wants and doesn't want to win as long as he gets the team to do his bidding. Coaches aren't any good at coaching they just put in a scheme and run it. You have to run the ball to win. Uh, we kind of won the superbowl last year and our rushing attack wasn't veryby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
And I'm glad. They are built to be big, tough, and physical with a big back and run blocking line. They also usually go down early in the playoffs every year. They may not even make it this year. I like it when the football is thrown. Through the air.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
McVay drafted and developed Kupp - the best receiver in the game last year. Or does that not count. He brought in Woods, Whit, and yes, Corbett. And lots of other players.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
McVay didn't inherit a supercar as you say. The team in 2016 was a mess. They won 4 games. And the coach was fired before the end of the season. That doesn't sound like a Jon Gruden taking over Dungy's bucs kind of deal. He changed everything - the system, the culture, a lot of the players. They brought in the right people and gave them a space to succeed. Why fans of this team fail to grby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
And the guy making a lot of the picks before McVay happens to sill have a parking space at the rams facilityby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
So I finally want to take my family to a game at sofi. Saw one in the colosseum but then covid, and then health issues, then team got boring.... Anyway - was thinking the Charger game. It's away so we can avoid the dreaded 'who's house'. What's the chargers thing? - 'who's positively charged' Couple questions Will probably buy parking pass. What lots are good to get in and out of? -by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Oh that's right. They did.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
In all fairness, you can't judge either performance without asterisks. He played poorly last night, but the line was awful, and 10 days prep is not really much better than 48 hours. Usually your backup has been through the offensive install, run some time with the 1's at camp, etc. Really, the remaining games this year probably won't look much better. Will other teams factor that in when makiby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
He's awful. How did he play so many nfl games? Maybe he's decent as a center. Is he any better than Evans? Maybe...but not by much. He's likely gone next year so, yes, let's see some other guys.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
So it's one thing to say - just draft a starting LT and good inside guy, and a good durable OT. It's an entirely different thing when you bring guys in and they get hurt, never develop, etc. If it were that easy - wouldn't every team just do that?by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
He'd likely fall into a deep depression after missing out on his one and only shot at announcer pot of gold and his coaching career in a downward spiral. Poor guy.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
And what does that comment even mean? He's not McVay? And Mcvay is going to for sure walk away? He's had 3 winning seasons and 3 losing seasons. McVay has one losing season and 5 winning seasons in the same time frame. 2 super bowls and 1 win. Don't get me wrong - he's a good coach, I'm just getting tired of supposed rams fans contantly looking at San Fran drooling with envy at everyby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Usually the best team in the nfl isn't decided by another teams' fanbase. They play game for a bit and at the end - a trophy is presented. So last year we were the best team in the nfl. Would everyone agreed we were the best team at this time last year? I don't think so. There were a lot of questions after our november and Stafford never winning a playoff game. There are a handful of very goby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
this is kind of bonkers. I missed the kickoff after their touchdown and didn't register this after their field goals. Kind of surprised McVay or someone in the booth didn't complain during the game. Would have expected a bush league move like this from the Patriots. Maybe Macdaniel wants to make poppa proud. If you're spending time worrying so much about kick offs, you're probably not fiby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
He seems to be out or playing injured, like every game. Last year too. I would hope they could upgrade - at least to someone who can stay on the field. He's never played 16 games has he? And what's the story with Howard? You forget he's on the team - feel like he's played in 2 games ever - one of them being the NFC championship game. This is another guy who can never get on the field.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Fumbles per touch is a more apples to apples if you're going to compare to dickerson. I don't know where Akers ranks. And I don't think that's a reason to not keep him next year. There are other reasons - as in 3.8 career yds per carry. And that includes 2020 where the line was decent.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Like every 19th carry is a fumble or something like that. Would be more revealing as a metric - he also missed almost all of last year and even his rookie year he didn't have a ton of carries.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Hey, he may yet turn out to be a hidden gem, but he was playing at home on a loaded team against a Bucs team that really isn't any good. I mean they barely beat us. Let's let him play a few years and see if he's the next GOAT. I like the story, but since he's a 9'er I'm rooting against him.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Games are decided by every play for the whole 60 minutes - not one play toward the end of the game. All the plays count. Earlier in the game Skowronek dropped an easy touchdown bomb. No one talks about that. Brady threw a pick against the chargers that was fumbled back to the patriots years ago in the playoffs - no one talks about that anymore when Brady's legacy is brought up. Or how he wonby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
One of Brando's last unfortunatelyby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Is that what the team would look like after a trip to the Island of Dr. Moreau?by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Like he wrote down a conversation inside his head that he dreamed he had with McVay and Stafford and Snead.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
He knows exactly what McVay and Snead and Stafford are thinking will talk about / have talked about. It's uncanny, Maybe he's bugged all the offices. I have to say this old guy is one of the worst posters I've read. No wonder he's not on this board. He just makes stuff up constantly and would get called to the carpet all the time.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Blood clots can come from a soft tissue injury with no underlying issues, or they can be related to blood issues which means blood thinners and no more football. I think that happened to Tommy Frazier, maybe.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
That doesn't mean Baker is like them. Just means that that happened.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Which is a good thing. You seem hell-bent on burying his career and calling it quits for him. It's a risk to get hurt every year for every player. I'm sure he'll plot his own course.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
If he puts up similar numbers as the Raider game for the next 4 weeks - good, but not earthshaking - he's the QB of the future? Not sold.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
McVay had him in Washington, I think. Before Jackson came here McVay had Cooks. Now we have Tutu.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
