The love for a 34 year old NFL never-was is astounding to me. I know he has the power of Christ and all, but can we get over the hero worship? He had a great college career. End of story.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Jackson may be too raw for a roster spot at tackle this season - practice squad seems likely. Shelton can play guard and center and supposedly has looked good. maybe switch the 2. TE's - Hopkins is likely gone. Blanton has a better chance to stick around if they keep 4. OLB - I think Lewis is put on IR or just released with a medical designation. Guy can't practice or play. theyby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Another week or 2 and we'll have our pick. I think they will add one more. Keep Jones and Calais (special teams) - Funk likely to practice squad and a Vet as the #2.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Last season he got a concussion from an illegal (uncalled) head shot from the Seahawks. What other injuries are you referring to? Wolford has been in the system for 3 years - has taken multiple practice reps, some preseason (2019?) and regular season action. He will be ready to go. During the season most backups get almost no reps yet are expected to come in and start - sometimes at a momenby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
We get it - you love Minshew. Not only will he make our #2 qb position the best in the league, in 2 years he will send stafford packing and be our superstar qb You donby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
I'm talking all 3 local affiliates and the LA times. I've watched the sports reports, read the sports section in the times and you wouldn't know the Rams are even in camp. Nothing but wall to wall Dodger coverage and Lakers off-season moves. Do any of them even have a beat reporter for the team? You think this would fly in the New York media? (they have Baseball too)by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Who's the last one under McVay? This is how the team is set up. They trade away #1 picks and develop everyone else. McVay demands precision with his offensive players and that includes playbook understanding, blocking etc. Akers surprised but where was he week 1? I think it's expecting a lot to think that Harris and Atwell will be big contributors this year.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Don't see it. One arm tackle and he's down.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Which is ok - they have Jackson. Atwell can be on the active roster but maybe not dress for games. That will give him a year to learn the system and add weight. Not a lot of rookie receivers take the field as rookies on this team. It's not a bad thing.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Sounds like a lot of them will be cut. And if they can't make another squad, we're supposed to think they'll be re-born with the Rams and be a RB 2 for us? Seems like a cap casualty or trade is more likely.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
And were you being paid to be at a specific weight? And didn't you have a day job? It's 2021, Fooball is Tutu's day job. He's being paid to play in the NFL and 155 lbs will never cut it. Most of these guys go to performance centers in the offseason and have access to the leading edge or nutrition and strength training. Didn't Goff have trouble putting on weight until a dietician found ouby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
How many O-line have you seen / read about - that retire and drop like 25 or 35 or more pounds in a matter of months. They are working very hard all year to maintain their playing weight. What's Tu-tu's excuse?by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
It's listed as one of his biggest weaknesses and he's done nothing to address it. Or not enough.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
If he's been vaccinated and got a positive result - that's on thing. Anything other than that is on him. The Rams wanted him at 160-165 and he's still at his combine weight - 155. Lots of excuses of 'how hard it is' and 'fast metabolism' Yeah dude - it's hard work to make it in the NFL and no one wants to hear excuses. Has he been working with a strength coach? Nutritionist? Fast metabby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
2 ACL's, 1/2 season of college production. He was drafter for ST. I think it's a stretch to think he's going to start.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
He needs to be about 170. Besides hanging out with Teddy Bridgewater - has he wasted most of the offseason NOT lifting and NOT working with a nutritionist? More bad feelings about this guy. Hope I'm wrong.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Maybe he slides down the Dolphins depth chart and get cut? Wouldn't be surprising if they have a stable of younger backs. I'd rather have him than Gurley at this point.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Maybe after camp starts or after cuts, etc. As always, the Roster now is not the opening day roster. A bigger back would be good but no to Peterson and Gurley. Neither are short yardage specialists.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
I liked watching him play - personally I was more a Dickerson, Faulk, Steven Jackson guy - and he had a handful of great years. But his body broke down - it happens - and he walked away with a giant bag of money. He earned - but stop whining, dude. He got money out of the Falcons too. The Rams went out of their way to hide his injury and pretend everything was all right. He and Clay Matthby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com

It was the honor system. Didn't work. Back to masks.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Didn't he think they should make the - can't remember his name - Oregon State QB the starter a few years back. Talked about all the yards he put up in the PAC 10. Dickerson is a great media personality, but he just spews a lot of nonsense.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com

I think we can overcome the Akers loss without too much trouble. People seem to equate him with the 2nd coming of Emmitt Smith. Cam is a solid back - probably a 1000 yard rusher this year, but not a Travis Henry figure who makes the whole team go. The Seahawks and (sometimes) the 49'ers make the playoffs most years. Who are their bellcow backs again?by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
If they don't have to give up too much. Dillon, Michel, both on cheap rookie contracts but buried on the depth chart. Neither adds much in passing game though. The issue with any free-agent or rookie is knowing the blocking assignments. McVay won't put anyone out there who he doesn't trust to block. Maybe why it took akers time to get on the field.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
There are so many more dangerous backs they'll face this season - might be nice to play against a plodding back who's no threat to take it the distance.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
...who'll probably be cut.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
C'mon It's over. Let it go. We could also sign Frank Gore and Adrian Peterson. To what end?by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
