One thing became abundantly clear ... with the losses of Woods, Higbee, and then Blanton and OBJ, we were left with few receiver options. The only options we had were Hopkins and Kupp. Jefferson and Skowronek were not up to the challenge on that stage. But that is the risk in rosters today. Depth. After seeing Kupp mugged and doubled all day, and going thru his progressions, Stafford jusby MDAlum - RamsFootballFans.com

There can be little doubt that Greg Robinson was the biggest bust in the Snisher era. But Brian Quick is the easy #2. Such a valuable pick, the top choice on Day 2. Trade offers pour in for first round talent that fall. And the Rams select Brian Quick. Hindsight is easy, but what were they smoking. Blinded by potential, not seeing the real picture. Like the article says, cutting the disaby MDAlum - RamsFootballFans.com
I will point out that once Sullivan went out, we struggled to get anything for Gurley on many many goal line chances. Yes, the Niners started selling out. Yes, Goff turned successfully to the short passes for scores. But with Sullivan in the game Gurley punched those in. Lets hope Sullivan gets back for Dallas.by MDAlum - RamsFootballFans.com
1. They had some injuries that exposed their lack of depth. The secondary, when healthy is a really good one. When it isn't healthy, it gets picked on. 2. Really really unusual circumstances that the special teams put the DEF into at the end of the game. We were up by 15. Say it with me ... 15. Then the offense never got on the field again as the Niners went for three straight scoring chancby MDAlum - RamsFootballFans.com
You cannot argue that taking Jones at 37 is a reach. You can try to justify it as a good pick for need, but it is a reach. We have a lot more needs than just WR. We have reached in the past several drafts for skill talent. TEs and WRs have been reached for, and what do we have? Also OL have been reached for. Same result. Let it fall to you. Cook will be gone for sure. 3 of the 4 teby MDAlum - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteHazlet Hacksaw To becoming at least serviceable, its not like he was going to be all pro. So even then not a lot back for a 2 round pick. They fell in love with this guy and he jumped to the top of their draft board. But to the non-star struck GMs out there he was a 3-4 round pick. They picked a developmental guy too high and paid the price. Sure the draft is a bit of a gamble, but theyby MDAlum - RamsFootballFans.com
Fischer flat out tells the truth when he says times change. Players used to get in shape during camp, but now they are in shape year round. So they find other ways to use the time, including what he referred to as "recovery" time. The pool session has some therapeutic value, but it really is just a fun thing. It is funny to see some of the big ugglies shy away from the water. Brownby MDAlum - RamsFootballFans.com
