Yeah, on the Gurley play Thomas got a hand on it right? I watched that play over and over, thought his foot touched out of bounds before he lost control . Of course I'm a homer! That was a killer. But the ball going through the end zone from an offensive play is a touchback, be it a punt,kickoff, or fumble .by bigjimram21 - RamsFootballFans.com
The Fountain kid is interesting. Think he will be pretty good.by bigjimram21 - RamsFootballFans.com
Are there any OLT prospects worth a pick after the 2nd round? Someone who Compares to the 3 Most often mentioned , the ND kid, Brown, and Miller?by bigjimram21 - RamsFootballFans.com
Suh will behave , 1 year, 14 million so he is betting on a good/great year so he gets one more 3/4 year 11/14 million with 30+ guaranteed. Won't happen if he does stupid stuff on or off the field. imo.by bigjimram21 - RamsFootballFans.com
Question is , which one could be above average as a starter in the league? Brown, Miller? Not sure .by bigjimram21 - RamsFootballFans.com
Thanks for your view on the subjects of AD and the 60%.by bigjimram21 - RamsFootballFans.com
Is 24 million the market or just a number being thrown out there? That's 5 million more a year than what Von Miller got 2 years ago. So the cost of premium players is 2/3 million a year? Isn't that a 25% increase from Millers contract? And the cap over the last two years went up around 20%. If AD gets 24 million , the other 8 guys you talk about get to split 82 million dollars(by bigjimram21 - RamsFootballFans.com
If this is the fact about 10 players taking up 60% of the cap the question is what number do the rams put on keeping AD. They have to have a number that they are willing to pay and not a penny more. AD has a number that he wants. So explain to me if the Rams are say at 22.5 a year (78 million guaranteed ) and the AD wants say 24 million (and 84 million guaranteed ) would that be theby bigjimram21 - RamsFootballFans.com
Think if someone falls to them they stay put, but if there are similar players on their board and they can get one of them by trading back a few spots they wil do it and add a 2nd or early third and still get their guys.by bigjimram21 - RamsFootballFans.com
Helping Suh get to his flight to Nashville.by bigjimram21 - RamsFootballFans.com
If the numbers mentioned are correct that's over 13 million a year(no sure of the guaranteed ) or if 50 million that's over 16 million a year. better for the Rams to draft OLB,ILB, and NT, imo.by bigjimram21 - RamsFootballFans.com
I would be more than happy to see the Rams draft an edge rusher like Davenport, Landry, Key, or Carter. Then add ILB like Esch or Jewell and a NT like Settle or BJ Hill and give AD his contract and call it a day.by bigjimram21 - RamsFootballFans.com
Well he will need to be paid more in NY because their Dline is crap(the whole defense is pretty bad), and if he thought he was getting doubled in Miami, a lot , he ain't seen anything yet. Good luck .by bigjimram21 - RamsFootballFans.com
Should know by tomorrow where he's going to sign. Think it will be the no tax/ more money offer in Tenn. Can't blame him if he goes there, chances are he only has 2/3 years left, need to make that money now.by bigjimram21 - RamsFootballFans.com
Not meant for you Lenny but Rams are not getting any money from cutting Austin. This guy knows jack about what is going on .imo.by bigjimram21 - RamsFootballFans.com
Isn't he basically a cut? Not sure but he was a RFA but KC didn't even bother to make a qualifying offer . Not sure if he would qualify as signing away a free agent. But he shouldn't have much if any effect on comp picks unless it were one from the 7th rd the Rams may be getting.by bigjimram21 - RamsFootballFans.com
Suh. If not him then draft Landry, a NT , and ILB in first three picks. A OLT would be nice but there really is only one that I would consider if at 23(highly unlikely).by bigjimram21 - RamsFootballFans.com
Well he left without signing so would that be a sign the Saints and or the Titans offered more money? Not sure either of those teams are better than the Rams on defense . And the Saints have no money. Guess this is where "creative" cap space manipulation comes in. I doubt he signs with LA now, if you couldn't keep him from leaving then the offer must be less than the other 2. iby bigjimram21 - RamsFootballFans.com
My guess is they were not willing to pay him 16 million a year long term off what he did last year plus potential. I too wish they had tagged him for 2018 and after the year see where they stand. Let Joyner test the market. Too late now, we shall see how it works out. But the TE has to be a bigger part of the offense this year. With teams having tape from last year, tight ends need to hby bigjimram21 - RamsFootballFans.com
Lol, nice choice of descriptor on a Hankins signing la. Williams or one of the draft guys like Settle works(actually would rather have T. Settle at nose).by bigjimram21 - RamsFootballFans.com
Well I think there was an offer, counter offer and an agreement to disagree last year. New year, new negotiation. Must have a new starting point on both sides and let the fun begin, again.by bigjimram21 - RamsFootballFans.com
Well wyche did say that they had a budget set aside for AD's contract and wouldn't sign someone who effected that . Now I would be interested in what laram thinks budget means.by bigjimram21 - RamsFootballFans.com
Well 43 I think the Rams Demoff and Suh's agent would have to have already had a preliminary phone call to get a sense of what he would be looking for contract wise if the front office was doing their job. I mean it seems I'd want to know if he was asking for money way out of our price range before wasting his time and theirs.imo.by bigjimram21 - RamsFootballFans.com
Second Seattle game, Goff throws for first down , Kupp started to turn up field and dropped it.by bigjimram21 - RamsFootballFans.com
Don't care what size the NT and ILB in Tree's position or Barron but they better be way better at stopping the run this year compared to last year or 2018 will be a long year on defense. And Peters and Talib are not what you would call good run support CBs. imo.by bigjimram21 - RamsFootballFans.com
Some of these contracts are whacked. Poe gets 9 million a year, really? And A. Hitchens gets KC to give him 45 for five years. Zach Brown played for one year And 2.5 million last year and now after 6 years and 7.4 million career earnings he gets 8 million a year. Good for Zach he played really well last year. SW gets 16 million a year from that same KC. That list of LBs is scary. Looby bigjimram21 - RamsFootballFans.com
Goff targeted Kupp 94 times, Woods 85. Gurley 87. Catches were Kupp 62, Woods 56, and TG 64. Think JG needs to throw to the TEs more, way more for this offense to take the next step, not Throws to TA.by bigjimram21 - RamsFootballFans.com
He played at 242 lbs, not 225/230. Big difference.by bigjimram21 - RamsFootballFans.com
Must like some of the NTs in the draft. Or plan on signing one of the other FAs. Poe signed a one year deal last year. He hasn't signed a new deal anywhere. He may be asking for too much but fits good here. Maybe Benny Logan if all you need is a run stopper. Not sure what the Rams are thinking.by bigjimram21 - RamsFootballFans.com
Sullivan played pretty good last year. No way a rookie is going to be better if healthy than him. Sure draft a replacement but Sullivan needs to be resigned to keep this Oline intact. Goffs development depends on it. imoby bigjimram21 - RamsFootballFans.com
