QuoteRamsFanSince69 Yeah, I'm bored and this sounds like minutia. But I'm really interested in whether Verse plays Right Edge or if Byron Young does. I read somewhere that Verse played 80-85% on the right versus the left in college, while the same could be said for Byron in 2023. If Verse has got games going with Fiske, then their familiarity with JV on the right may be where they are mostby JimYoungblood53 - RamsFootballFans.com

based on my guesses where people will play Aaron Donald === huge loss. Replaced by Kobie, probably. Downgrade but Kobie should be a Pro Bowl-level guy, maybe not All-Pro, not all time great Jonah Williams == not a big loss. Probably replaced by Fiske, should be better, much better athlete, lacks experience - Upgrade Michael Houcht == not a big loss as starter, bas backup value. -Upgraby JimYoungblood53 - RamsFootballFans.com
Kurt Warner @kurt13warner Watching some old games & I realize that 1 of my greatest strengths, anticipation, could also be my greatest weakness… the ability to hit small windows by releasing early & then at times expecting something a little different from WRs & hitting a DB in the #s! Seems like often times in sports & life our greatest strengths can be our greateby JimYoungblood53 - RamsFootballFans.com

A lot of them are just fan fluff -- but sometimes they do link to what they are talking about where the real substance is . For that they deserve credit.

I supported the Stafford trade, but not right away --- I took a wait-and-see approach I supported trading away Goff, not that I didn't like him ... just that he was regressing In his first 27 games under McVay He was 21-6 and was 578 of 903 64.0 percent 7610 yards, 55 TDs, 13 INT---- 104.8 passer ratings In his last 41 games under McVay He was 24-17 ---- 959/1510 63.5 percenby JimYoungblood53 - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRambone Gonna love J-Whitt in a Rams uni but let’s not spread myths. so we should proceed with some reality. He's got a lot going for him. But his contribution at first will be on special teams. Apparently, he can do that. He's not been a return guy in college. but he does seem like someone who can upgrade Skow's snaps. And nothing wrong with that for a guy drafted where he was. At fiby JimYoungblood53 - RamsFootballFans.com
on the long passes --- often you have to contest them ... and Tutu is so small he has to get "extra" open because if the pass IS a off he cannot go up and get it. Other WRs can do that. Just something I spaced out on and didn't say Just more food for thought Not he has done it on one scramble drill I remember ... so it's not like he's never done it but consistently?

QuoteShecky . So since his success with Atwell is less, it is Atwell's fault? Like I said, Atwell dropped 3 catchable balls. Yet 24 balls were not catchable. you said that. And that is part of it. Maybe he missed a lot of catches when he was running wrong or less than precise routes just saying dropped passes is not the only indicator that matters. And if Atwell is not successful when eby JimYoungblood53 - RamsFootballFans.com
I dunno, maybe everyone else is right. Maybe Fiske cannot play gap-1/2 my question to these guys would be how well they know the scheme Rams have played for 4 years, now. I do not know answer ... but if all these naysayers were saying "Fiske is a one-gap player, not a two-gap player and not a Gap-1/2 player" That would tell be they know the scheme and what he's going to be askby JimYoungblood53 - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteShecky I could say the same thing about Stafford. he had no problems with Jackson. Had had no problems with Kupp, Puka, even Robinson. Van Jefferson, even had Tree Woods for 1/2 a year and OBJ. But he DID have problems with Allen Robinson -- and had not had issues with any of the TEs that I can think of. Essentially there have been issues with 2 guys and no problems with six others,by JimYoungblood53 - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteRockRam I guess the bottom line is that the gap + 1/2 happens in college, but only a few can use it because of the players involved. I assume the Rams believe that Fiske can do that when called on. If they didn't think he could play it --- they'd have gone with someone else. Also, I think Goodlow is insurance for that position. I watched him and he's not a edge player. He's an interiorby JimYoungblood53 - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteShecky How am I reading that? For reasons unknown to me, Stafford and Tutu are not on the same page. I say it is more on Stafford because the QBR is independent of the receiver. Tutu only dropped 3 catchable passes. Over 36% of the passes thrown to Atwell in 2023 by Stafford were errant, not catchable (as opposed to 11% for Puka, 8.4% to Kupp, and 33.3% to Robinson). I home hopefull. buby JimYoungblood53 - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteShecky Maybe 53, but the deep attempts I recall to Atwell were way off and far from perfect. I wish I knew where I could get footage of all of Stafford's throws. I am note disagreeing with you ... I would have to look ... and I can but I only question if it was Stafford or Atwell or combination of both I honestly don't knowby JimYoungblood53 - RamsFootballFans.com
but there are guys with straight-line speed that cannot shake people, a slight hesitation if a CB with any decent speed, or a safety if its' quarters or cover-2 can run well enough that it takes a perfect throw... I don't know for sure, but that's also something that now that you say it --- seems rightby JimYoungblood53 - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteShecky Tutu had fewer drop % than Kupp and Puka. Robinson had 0 drops so he did well. Stafford's QBR passing to Robinson was 120.8, to Puka 104.6, to Kupp 93.5. But he could not connect with Tutu at a good rate, just 84.3. Especially on the few deep routes, where Stafford just seemed to be off. Stafford is off with Atwell but on with everyone else? That's possible. Also possiblby JimYoungblood53 - RamsFootballFans.com
