Latu going to the colts.....I don't think the colts have any backfield or much of 1, but I seem to remember them having a decent line. Dallas to Minnesota....I really wasn't all high on him anyway, he wasn't a guy I particularly wanted for Edge. But I think they have a decent D to start out in. Chop to Miami....I like this for him, I think the dolphins have a good makeup and he adds to it.by roman18 - RamsFootballFans.com
if you got a die hard for him or someone else.by roman18 - RamsFootballFans.com
I thought it was Redondo beach next door, wonder where I got that from. Where is Redondo Beach in relation to Manahattan/Hermosa. It must have been Hermosa we walked to and went up to an eatery area with some kind of a statue as you are coming off the beach?(a surfer or something?) Several eateries and craft shops. Very nice, enjoyed much.by roman18 - RamsFootballFans.com
at this point in time I am not even remotely thinking he will come back, or for that matter hoping he will. There is so much electricity going on with the fresh talented FA's brought in, The bang start to the draft with a talented maybe top 10-15 guy falling in our spot, to the still additions in the draft and what's out there to pick. Then add in the refreshing new D-line coach in Giff and theby roman18 - RamsFootballFans.com
They are ?'s for sure but I have also seen them make some an actual good football plays. They didn't get much if really any shots but IMO if they showed a play or 2 in very limited play I think it leans to the side of they can be rotational edge players. I seem to remember Hampton getting hands up at a crucial time and do an important pass knock down, I seem to have seen a flash of Mathis gettiby roman18 - RamsFootballFans.com
to Mary..(as I was fist pumping in the air)....."Thank God somebody took that guy off the board"....I just had a gut feeling Sean was going his way...LOL....as you say saved from himself was a very apt way of putting it.by roman18 - RamsFootballFans.com
below there Draft House, they sure do their stuff with some flare. was that for show, was anyone actually playing beach football on that field? Did anyone here on the board go down to that, guess you had to be a ticket holder to do so? Looked like a nice beach, we spent our time on Manhattan beach in 2021.....Is Hermosa near there, think we walked down to Redondo Beach abutting Manhattan Beach.by roman18 - RamsFootballFans.com
back to the line work and leaving the rotation of edge with Mathis, Hampton as the rotational group? I kinda hope so, IMO it puts Hoecht back to the line and will add some line rush/sacks to make up with others along the line the numbers AD put out. I just can't see Young and Verse sitting much, save for the needed breaks in a game. Put Mathis and Hampton in those rest times and put Hoecht in thby roman18 - RamsFootballFans.com
instead of assuming this or thinking that...if you want Newton you trade up to the bills. that ends all issues of who gets the guy you want, or what the bills will do.by roman18 - RamsFootballFans.com
you gotta get #33....that's the bills. If you want him that bad you have to be the 1st out of the blocks.....#33 assures you the guy. I think that guys are good enough to supplement what we already have with Fiske, or Wingo. and save that trade up and loss of other picks. I guess they could bundle with someone to get a 4th back as you would like though.by roman18 - RamsFootballFans.com
I watch his stuff almost everyday. Every day he has a "what if" or gives options before the draft started. He did give inferences of them picking a QB, but he did that as well with WR's, DL, Edge and O-Line as well, he even did CB's going 1st. he was giving these examples to show the pro's and con's to each position with the RAMS in mind. He never, at least I never saw him say theby roman18 - RamsFootballFans.com
They don't have a 4th round pick. I see more likely a trade down with a 3rd to get a 4th + pick. I don't like them giving up multiples for 1 pick, and I think the DL is good now with an added guy like Wingo, or Fiske without the need to trade up. Don't force a DT because of AD. I think the idea is to get AD like play from a complimentary group of guys, from all 3 areas of the team. Added sacksby roman18 - RamsFootballFans.com
and short term deals for vets. The rookie deals allow money to be spent on these very type things over going out and getting a guy like Allen that would have involved money. The 1 year prove it type deals with vets also works that way. The RAMS CAN do for Matthew because of the way they have set up the payouts. They now have 2 good Edge guys at very cheap deals over what the vets are/were askby roman18 - RamsFootballFans.com
He didn't say they Were moving up, he said they are Trying to move up. Just because you try doesn't mean it works out. It's very possible they attempted any number of times to move up, but the other guy has to accept the offer. Even a guarantee can fall through in a draft.....maybe a team that figured a guy wouldn't be there was suddenly there etc. I don't know any team that sets up a pick tradeby roman18 - RamsFootballFans.com
of trading up or back. The falcons going for Penix was a great help. I don't get that pick but it's all good in my book. I really was wanting Latu, but staying course allowed Verse to fall in our lap.. As the Stones sing you can't always get what you want but sometimes you get what you need. Interesting with the talk of them going to Penn State but not going with Chop when he was there to geby roman18 - RamsFootballFans.com
we still have a land line, but I wonder the availability of those phones, maybe need to look at EBay....but then again I have so much RAM stuff I just don't know where it would go. I could hook it up, that would be a cool factor.....by roman18 - RamsFootballFans.com

I still really, really miss the cookout pre draft Sat. Mornings. I am doing it today for tonight but it just feels like I'm making dinner with the draft not starting until 8 PM. Marinated a small pork tenderloin with a dry rub, dozen or so Chicken tenders marinated as well and a batch of button mushroom soaking in some Marsala wine to be roasted and a broccoli salad. I'd be more fun though thby roman18 - RamsFootballFans.com
I was always doing stuff and saying things to make people laugh...that way I thought I had a bunch off friends. As I grew older I found that to be wrong, but at the same time I learned to laugh at myself and it really opened doors for me. I find doing that actually gives me a line on empathy of others....makes sense to me, but maybe not to others?by roman18 - Bucky's Pub
The OT, and the 2 Edge guys....The RAMS always seem to get film on a guy or a team and the guy they were looking at brings out another guy. I wouldn't assume it's Chop, the other Edge is pretty good, but available lower down so they may go with the OT and then the other Edge (sorry don't know the guys name), in round 3 or get a pick in the 4th and get him there?by roman18 - RamsFootballFans.com
I don't put myself over others, I don't push my ideas on others. I will state my opinions when others give theirs to me, but only after they make their statement to me 1st. I will live my way quietly and to myself. I do not put myself anywhere near the Hollywood group, I don't affirm them with their actions by saying well we are all like that to an extent.....People in that Hollywood world takeby roman18 - Bucky's Pub
I think it's a bad idea to put a ceiling on a guy in a competion. He should be given every chance to be the best he can be. That means the chance to be backup as well as just making the roster. You look at the savings of him being cut, why not look at the savings if he beats out JG. Not that he will beat him out but at the same time I don't get the idea of him being planned to not make it eithby roman18 - RamsFootballFans.com
spanning the last couple of years with Verse and I saw that he was invisible for large portions of a game and would make a splash, big time play. I would watch #5 at the snap and he would get eaten up, or pushed out of the action. I have also watched Latu games and I saw him in almost every defensive snap, he may not have made the sack, but he would move the pocket or change the idea of the playby roman18 - RamsFootballFans.com
else keeps popping up.....it would be assumed it's Chop, but as I say they sometimes find someone else on the film....Maybe the other Edge guy, he's supposed to be a player as well. Available in rounds below the 2nd?by roman18 - RamsFootballFans.com
save the $150 and ride on...LOL.....I get your idea, but I would not press Defense for the sake of it. I have always thought that Edge was our look since we let everyone go without much try. But I wouldn't look to the line right off in those 2 1st rounds.....I personally like or set up even without the AD factor....not ignoring it, but I think there are some prospects in the 3rd down to help ouby roman18 - RamsFootballFans.com
take off the QB's the Edge guys, the WR's the LT's add in a CB or 2 and he's there where we sit. That said I don't want to go that direction in the 1st or the 2nd round.....of course my 2 cents is worth less then that...LOL.....by roman18 - RamsFootballFans.com
I don't even agree with much, if any of it. I don't get the idea that a QB is needed and I don't see how the outcome of Stetson is dependent on a drafted QB. I see it like it's on Stetson to start working into form, that doesn't hinge on a drafted QB, that hinges only on him. He needs to start this off season running, he needs to do a lot of catchup, he needs to be the shadow of Matthew and beby roman18 - RamsFootballFans.com
can't remember who he played, but those pants on this video are super.....LOL....I wonder if at that time I asked my mom to get me a pair like that. My bell bottoms were primarily of the vertically striped variety, with the needed wide belt loop for my neat wide leather belt with things on it and a super cool buckle.

Can't give the year, but damn...that was THE LOUDEST band I have seen. I was trying to knock the ringing out of my ears for a solid week, maybe more, and we were not near the stage. They had a crazy stage set.....the amps were huge and he had a mic that was tall as well with a ribbon hanging off it. The cat just stomped and swayed and sweated for a good 1 1/2 -2 hours.

several pundits and maybe some here on this board wanted to kick the tires on this guy. With the thought of him getting "IT" and maybe taking over for Matthew in a year or so. The broncos are really no different then we were when we let Fletcher go....we looked, looked and continued to look for his replacement, they are doing that with the QB position after Manning went out the door.by roman18 - RamsFootballFans.com
