So over it. If he and the team want to act like whatever his issue is requires state secrecy do what you have to do. But far as I'm concerned he's a write off. And I could care less about him since he wasn't capable of living up to the responsibilities the team paid him to perform. Is it mental illness. Is it alcoholism or some other dependency. Is it some other dark and mysterious BS. Wby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRockRam Keeping Tutu makes no sense. He is clearly our #4 WR at best. He can't return punts. He can't play any role on ST's. He would be a downgrade at WR3 should one of the starting 3 go down. How the Rams feel about Tutu had as much to do with resigning Robinson for $5mil as it did how good they feel about Robinson. So, at WR4 with no STs role his main job to warm a bench.

If the Rams take him we're going to need him focused in on taking our defense to a better place. I don't want to see any starter that is important for offense or defense out there taking shots on returns. It is high time the Rams use one of those countless late rounders they end up with to draft a returner. Beyond time actually. Way beyond.by merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteSpeed_Kills Especially the $ This guy came on and gave a OBJ type performance down the stretch Hes a veteran and this doesn’t mean they don’t draft a WR they can develop...I’d trade Tutu tho I loved the chemistry Robinson had with Stafford ... Robinson took over for Tutu in that second Hawks game and never looked back! Yeah it's a solid move. I'm surprised, figured he'd want toby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
I don't think he's our kind of mentally focused player. The type who excel under McVay. He has terrible lapses at key moments that would bug the crap out of me.by merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
Goal would be to identify a reclamation project that is not currently appreciated. A year ago at this time Minshew was one of those. This year he is appreciated because he showed what he can do for Indy. He is still flawed, but the wins mean he's going to be pricey. Pricier than what he should be for that role IMO. With a coach like McVay the goal should always be to have a reclamation proby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
He is a buy-low type FA at the Edge spot. Situational rusher that lessens need at the position but leaves it open if a top option falls to us at 19. In college he was a good all around backer, could play off and in space a bit without looking like a fish out of water. I think he's a fit. The other situational rusher is the Jets kid. But he's coming off a better year. Have a feeling Uche wby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
If it was me I would use FA to finish the offense so the only thing I need in this draft from that side of the ball is a prospect who can be a long term backup QB. My favorite candidate for that role is Hartman, because he will be available until the late rounds. He struggled during Senior Bowl week and is limited in his arm talent but the dude has a ton of experience as a QB and I expect wilby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
I will say I am concerned he might make a stink about going into the season as the starting LT being paid what he'll be paid. Hope not of course and he's said nothing about that nor have there been rumors. But any time a player has vastly outplayed his contract that is a concern. Oh and also if the Rams don't tender him aggressively enough they could lose him potentially.by merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
Player I'd really like in round 2 is Nubin. I think he has potential to be great in the NFL, could be one of those round 2 guys who you catch lightning with. Hoping he runs slow so we'll have a shot at him into round 3.by merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
Just compared to some other positions it feels like corners have strong quality slotted in that 20-35 range, depending on what big board you look at of course, but it's a recurring theme. Of course you never know because a surprise pick up high or run on one position can change everything and how guys go off which is what is so fascinating about the draft. But I'd also be happy with Mitchellby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
Even the first round list 4 of 6 were misses. But the recent picks... Not good at all, with 6 of 8 misses and that's pulling McClendon out due to not showing enough yet. I don't know that I trust these guys to take an OT. Don't get me wrong of course if they do I'll hope and root for him but... Maybe we should just take someone we're sure of up top. Or most sure of. :thumbsupby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
We don't know how the roster will look, so it's kind of nuts to just say this team or that team will win the division. But, hey, it's Cowherd. He'll have a new prediction in 20 minutes. :ROTFby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
Is twofold I think... First as pointed out above Jackson of course was a solid LT for us last season, so the need is there though it is not profound. And secondly a LT would need to fall to us who they love, otherwise the impact he would have on our offense is likely going to be lesser than a WR which is a position that should be well represented. Same goes for corner or edge as well, where hiby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
That site is basically fan-post-level articles being sold to the ignorant masses as a team information site. But they get traffic so idk maybe I'm just an angry old man. Either way Brees was a completely different QB. Brees lived in the pocket, was not a threat on the ground nor was he an athlete. Brees could win from the pocket in spite of his small stature as well, which is a rare talentby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotegatoramos He played well on a contract year. Before that, not so much. You would have to feel really good about knowing who he is as an individual and if he has the drive to play at the same high level he showed this year to sign him to a large contract.

Shanny is known to be extremely meticulous and demanding with his coaches. Guy like Rex has been eating donuts and talking smack for how long now in the media, would he come in and log long hours and produce at the required level. I doubt it.

Is a QB who is "almost good enough." Because that brings risk of squandering the window. Purdy is definitely better than Garoppolo was. He is focused and calm and intelligent. But I think his limitations on the passer side feed the weaknesses of Shanahan's scheme. With him at QB you need to drive the field ten yards at a time with underneath completions. Sure, he can hit an inteby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com

I'd trade him quickly then replace him with Shultz in FA or jump in the draft and take Bowers or load up WR to compensate. But he'd be gone. Chiefs won’t cut off their nose to spite their face.

First off the Rams are transitioning philosophically from a zone approach where small or non-high-drafted OL can fill roles on the interior to a power/duo approach where physical power is more of a premium. So their previous prioritizations might have changed. Secondly Boom is gone this offseason, so the Rams will only be paying one OL on this line, that being Havenstein.

Then yes you sign him. A thousand times yes. He would be a perfect addition to this seasoned offense because he locks down the blindside and we have Jackson behind him if he misses time. So the line would look like: LT: Smith LG: Avila C: <round 3 pick> RG: Jackson RT: Havenstein That would work.

His contract has a year on it and the Rams are very good at creative caponomics and paying players while insulating themselves with escape routes. Also if a trade were to happen it would mean Mack wants the Rams, and why wouldn't he given that he actually has a chance at a ring with us next season, so that means a deal would probably be there if the Rams wanted it, to spread out his cost.

Quote73Ram There are player in the NFL that have behavior issues....to me bottom line, Bowers gets on the field if he is able and plays head and shoulders above other players.
