Allen, maybe if the money is not too high. Will see if he plays this week. He missed 2019 and 2020 with injuries and now he's hurt again. Do we want to sink money into this guy? Beckham and Miller have been solid additions - Beckam probably improves week to week. Miller has good PFF grades but not much for sacks. We have depth for next year with Hollins and Garrett and the kid from Pittsbby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Even at Memphis I believe he shared carries. He is not durable enough for every down work. His injury list this year is like a MASH unit. He's not powerful enough and lacks the vision and instincts to be an every down back. Everyone talks about his upside - his speed and explosiveness and how he can take it to the house. Well how many years has it been? And what have we seen? Compare himby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
An NFL receiver can't just operate in space. It will be taken away. I don't care if he's small, or winds up getting hurt, but he should zero vision or tackle breaking ability. That's as much of an issue as his size. He was getting brought down with even the slightest touch from a receiver. That was my main problem with Bulger, not his skinny legs or lack of movement, but how easily he was saby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
So there you have it. They should treat him like a small offensive linemen - use him to block, just don't throw a football at him and his hands of stone. Like seeing Noteboom out there as an extra O-line as well. Maybe Blanton or Noteboom can line up as a lead blocker on short yardage. why not?by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
That's not how you rate a team or unit. Winning one game where they were getting points on the spread. Is Detroit dangerous now too?by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
People were worried about this game? Why? The Jaguars might be one of the worst teams in the league, despite record - maybe the worst. They're on the road, their head coach and offensive coaches are clueless and the darling of the 2021 draft looks human. I think he'll be good, in a year or 2, with a different coach and front office. But not with this sad sack franchise. The Meyer hiring wasby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Maybe he did a good job blocking but he is worthless as a receiver. The one pass he did catch- he could barely hang onto it and then fumbled on the ground. The TD drop was pathetic. This is a pro NFL tight end and he can't catch a simple pass? Is Hopkins that bad?by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
From what I read. More of a scheme dependent player with good speed but needs space. Kind of like his teammate Tutu. I like the Iowa kid better- which means Rams will probably bring up Hawkins :( Probably some explosive play nonsense. They should bring both up and let Hawkins return kicksby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
signed him Nov 5th. I imagine he'll be active. He's kind of a fire plug from Iowa and probably better than Howell who's been in the league for 4 years and has done nothing.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Buddy Howell has been ruled out. Henderson might not play. That leaves Michel. Do we even have another RB on the practice squad to call up?by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Hasn't helped on their records. Pride and paid players is great, but when you have serious lack of talent and poor coaching you are going to lose most of the timeby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
The Jags are one of the worst teams in the league with a real lack of talent and a questionable head coach who's probably a year or 2 away from going back to the college ranks. They have a rookie QB who's playing like a rookie. Joe Burrow looked more polished last year before he got hurt. And they're flying out here. All the hand-wringing is funny. We lost to 3 teams who are all currentlby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
I don't think it's just a case of those guys are great and having to sit. Hopkins was a 4th round pick I believe and had some negatives coming into the draft if I recall. Lots of 4th round picks don't work ou. Burgess - I have no idea, he had great college tape and is very versatile. For whatever reason the coaches don't want him out there. They see him every day in practice, etc so I'll havby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Then maybe start on next Monday vs the Cardinals. I know people have some fears about the Jaguars, but this will be a 'get well' game for us. They are lacking talent all over the field, Lawrence has struggled (like most rookies do) and I still think Urban Meyer is not a good NFL coach.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Reeder and Long should just be gone. I would try and keep Corbitt and Allen as they may even need one more guard if Edwards doesn't improve (seems to have hit a wall) Agree Hekker needs to go. They need IlB and RB in free agency for sure. With no picks till late next year they need to step it up in 2022. All the UDFA's and late round picks are good stroies from camp, but when push comeby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Besides a new contract for Stafford, which can be weighted for less early cap hit, who else is due money? Do the Goff and Gurley contracts expire at the end of this year? Assume Whitworth retires. Who else has played themselves into a big payday for next year (no under contract beyond 2021). Some have played themselves out of cashing in (i'm looking at you Darious Williams). Noteboom hasn't eby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
It seems clear that in the last several games, teams are scheming to throw to the shallow and intermediate center of the field. This does several things - ball comes out quick to negate pass rush, QB's don't have to challenge Ramsey, there is plenty of room right down the middle since Reeder and Rapp cannot cover ANYONE. We're making it too easy. Look how many times Rogers targeted that area -by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
That sad sack franchise wins one game and you're ready to fire McVay. Yes, let's please bring in all the Texans coaches - who know how to beat the Titans. So we'll be ready to play them in 4 years.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Inconsistent QB play (even from MVP candidates), inability to run the ball effectively, offensive line breakdowns, etc. Did anyone imagine Tennessee losing to Houston at home? This might just be the hallmark of 2021 - no clear favorites, lots of injuries, etc. Buffalo - the early season media darling got absolutely crushed by the Colts. It's easy to have tunnel vision and focus on alll thby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com

So many converted 3rd downs. Defense can't get off the field. Against San Fran they blew up a 3rd down run only to have Floyd offsides. The drive continued and ended in a TD. So it feels like they just give and give and don't force enough puntsby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Would that give us a lift. Akers I'm not counting on, but maybe for the playoffs? He's he every down back this team has been missing. Hollins can move back inside with Miller now here. He's got the athleticism and wingspan to cover the pass so he could be an every down ILB. You could pair him with Jones on run downs. Or even Reeder if we just wanted him to defend the run. Just hoping.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Might go down as one of the worst picks in Rams history. Not Lawrence Phillips bad, but certainly not Les' finest hour. Was there no ILB or Safety available when they picked? Even if Tutu could make plays - just 'why'? On a team that's making a SB push and already had DJ (at the time) how was he going to help us get over the hump and back in Sofi in February. Rookie WR's don't play much foby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
I don't buy these knee-jerk rams are soft and tip toe around the field type of assessments. It's simplistic and some kind of old-timey criticism. Is Aaron Donald soft? Jalen Ramsey? Cooper Kupp? Matthew Stafford? Wins and losses are due to scheme, matchups, turnovers, penalties and so much more. It's not like one team has a lock on 'physicality' San Fran and their 'toughness' lost themby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Several big name, top dollar players (and even more this year) but marginal players all over the field. They have very good OLB's now but no starting quality ILB's. All-pro at corner but very poor safeties. The o-line suprisingling is working with this methodology, but they are now only one deep at TE (could have signed Fells). You can really see how easy it is to attack this defense - rby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
He's had early success and was a breath of fresh air for this sad-sack franchise. But like a cult leader who keeps chanting the same thing - 11 personnel!. 11 personnel! he needs to grow and open up his approach. His signature - run many looks off the same groupings can be successful at times, but good defenses know how to attack it now - no mater how much pre-snap movement they do.

The offense can not get into rhythm without multiple possessions. Letting teams dink and dunk and move up and down the field is a mistake. So, maybe they only get a field goal or make a mistake and have to punt - as long as they are chewing clock and keeping the Rams offense off the field it's a win. Would rather they play more aggressively, even gamble more on D - blitz, run blitz, bring saby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
