From what Deadpool has said there's not likely to be a starter quality center in the 2nd round. Maybe we should make an offer to a vet center and use our developmental players (Noteboom Corbett, etc) battle it out against a 3 or 4th round guard. Right now we have some contenders at left guard, nothing at all at Center.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com

All teams can watch them. Plus they can schedule private visits. Game tape, talking to college coaches, senior bowl all tell teams much more than the combine. Pat Kriwan brought this up today - look back at the history of guys that held the top stats at the combine events - most of them weren't very good as pros. Talked about the big difference between running speed and game speed. Does thby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Maybe 20 years ago. If real FA work was done at the combine they're be no need for a start to free agency or FA visits. It's expense account / booze and food business practices. Pretty out-dated.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Agents meeting with teams. Brady will have his asks, everyone will know what they are. And there are teams he would consider and those he won't. I just think it's all a show. When free agency actually starts - teams target guys and most guys take the most money. That's about it.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
that's why mckay is spending a day and his position coaches - what, no days or something like that.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Line him up with Gurley or Henderson. He can block, take a quick handoff or drift out into the flat and catch passes (he has good hands - better than most FBs) If he bulked up a little this offseason maybe it works situationally. He knows the playbook inside and out, is good teammate and can be had cheap. He can also play RB if there's an injury. Maybe more effective and versatile thanby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
The have one offseason job - to prepare for the combine and make a good showing - just to hold their potential draft position. if you can't even do that, maybe you shouldn't be in the league - I'm talking to you mr Rams practice squad edge rusher. Years ago - bad GM's used crazy good combine results to draft some guys too high. Mike Mamula anyone? Seems like those days are over. I do thiby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Makes for good tv coverage on NFL network and 'measurables' are fun to read about and easy to digest, but they tell you very little compared to game tape, senior bowl, private interviews, etc. Glad he's not going to spend all his time at the pajama olympics.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Offensive line is listed as biggest need and they're 2019 deficiencies are ticked off - then it goes on to say how hard it may be to replace Blythe if he leaves. Huh? Was he not part of the underachieving unit the whole year? Is he some kind of 'can't lose' piece? Also, I think it's widely known that Whitworth is coming back so that part of the article is off as well.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Fowler is young and an important defensive piece, but you would be giving a large deal to a player with really one very good full season under his belt. Isn't that kind of what some of their recent, big cap headaches are based on? Littleton has been performing week in and week out for several years. Matthews doesn't have the upside or athleticism of Fowler but they could keep him at his numby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com

I found the article to be a poorly written, poorly organized stream of consciousness. The conclusion seemed to be that the Rams have so many lineman on the off-season roster they can't coach them or even figure out who should start and who should be upgraded.

No, that's not how you manage wealth. Borrowing costs, especially for the super wealthy are so low right now as to be inconsequential. You access a line of capitol when you need. You think Mark Davis can't borrow hundreds of millions of dollars when he has a team worth over 2 billion dollars that he can use as collateral? None of these guys are going to file chapter 11 because they can't maby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
When you're worth as much as an NFL owner there are many ways to access cash. Most high net worth people aren't sitting on piles of cash - but they can raise cash cheaply when they need it. Just like most banks don't have your money in stacks of bills in a vault. This is an old rule that applies to old views of how businesses work.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com

So many things effect a season - injuries, luck, bounce of the ball, timing of schedule and on the other side - all of those factors are at work on the teams you're playing. To pretend to know what's going to happen is just fooling yourself. Every year the 'experts' predict the playoff field and division champs and every year they get things wrong.

Every NFL owner has the money or access to cheap capital to pay guaranteed contracts. You think any of these teams is going to file chapter 11? They make the same arguments when they want new stadiums - can't compete, blah blah blah. They just don't like paying the players.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com

Backs are stronger faster and bigger now too. Guys like Bettis Faulk and Adrian Peterson didn't exactly play in the 1950's. Peterson is still playing. Is he the last of the durable bell cow backs to climb the record books?by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Look at the greats - Dickerson, Simms, Emmitt Smith, Walter Payton, LT - they were used heavily and held up year after year. And that was in an age of 2 a day padded practices in camp and hitting in practice during the week. Would be interesting to see some kind of a study on this. Are there any current primary backs who've held up long enough to even sniff the record books or a shot at theby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
They say the film is in development, but they already have a release date? That's not usually how those things work. Lionsgate and other studios do have faith-based films they release. However, those movies are usually only shown theatrically in certain parts of the country where christian films do well.

there's a link to an article that says Phillip Rives makes sense for the Rams to add as a backup at the right price. Huh? In what universe does Rivers - stay in Los Angeles (which he doesn't like) to end his career on the bench? Thanks for posting 43, but I can't take anything on this site seriously.
