Can we talk tight ends? - Yesterday
i rewatched highlights from the Lions game last night. One thing in particular really stood out to me: Colby Parkinson is capable of making some great catches, RAC and being a real weapon in the pass game. I hated the transaction when we got him, but I see now why we did. He probably needs more targets. He could/should be a pro bowlers with enough opportunities. In addition, we addedby RantoulRam - RamsFootballFans.com
This is awesome - 3 days ago
I have no idea how you do it. But so glad you do. Getting this and The Beast on the same day is like Christmas, albeit making it hard for me to get some work done. THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR WORK!by RantoulRam - RamsFootballFans.com
This is the kind of discussion I come to this board for - 19 days ago
Congratulations to everybody who took part in this discussion. It was friendly, full of information and highly analytical. This is the kind of discussion thread that I hope for every time I click on the board which is pretty much everyday.by RantoulRam - RamsFootballFans.com
Shanahan is copying McVay with Mike Evans - 26 days ago
As soon as I saw that SF picked up Evans in FA, this was my immediate thought. Shanahan saw how many touchdowns we got out of Davante Adams, and how effective he was in the red zone, and decided he had to have one too. I see Evans as likely starting to dwindle in total targets and total yards in the next two years, but, like Adams he can be a beast in the red zone with a huge catch radius andby RantoulRam - RamsFootballFans.com
Van Jefferson signs with Commanders - 29 days ago
Per John Keim on Twitter. One year deal.by RantoulRam - RamsFootballFans.com
You can get a HOF DL at 13 - 29 days ago
If he is that good, don't overthink it just take him. Last time we did this we got AD.by RantoulRam - RamsFootballFans.com
Fascinating - 30 days ago
Look at the top 6 teams, and all of them were AWFUL this year. Except the Rams at #4. Not sure what it means, but a team that was a muffed punt or a single stop from potentially winning the SB showing that much improvement is exciting.by RantoulRam - RamsFootballFans.com
Kupp was Super Bowl MVP when we won! - 30 days ago
I don't care what he does after he leaves the Rams. He is always a Rams hero in my book.by RantoulRam - RamsFootballFans.com
Sebastian Joseph Day? - 4 weeks ago
According to FA reports I have read, he is mostly a run stuffing nose tackle. FA and could be gotten relatively cheap as a backup/platoon with Poona.?by RantoulRam - RamsFootballFans.com
Listed below Russell WIlson on Athletic list - 4 weeks ago
The Athletic did a list of top 150 FA. It included Russell Wilson, but didn't even mention Garapollo. Not sure if they forgot about him, or just rank him that low.by RantoulRam - RamsFootballFans.com
OL Backups - 4 weeks ago
This is the one place I am still nervous about. We have a solid B to B+ offensive line when all 5 are healthy. But we can't depend on that. How are we set at OL backups? Can we lose two starters and still field a solid line?by RantoulRam - RamsFootballFans.com
Etienne just went to the Saints - Love falling? - 4 weeks ago
With both KC and NO taking RBs on the first day of FA, do we need to talk more about Love to the Rams. Or are they doing that because they believe someone like the Giants will nab him first?by RantoulRam - RamsFootballFans.com
I don't think this is a stupid idea - 5 weeks ago
If we lose Garoppolo, we need a competent backup. Kyler could be that. Not the same style QB as Stafford, but if McVay wanted to kick the tires.... I think Kyler ends up at the Vikings.by RantoulRam - RamsFootballFans.com
I'll try - 5 weeks ago
Best trade - Has to be Faulk. Stafford was great, but the price was high. We got Faulk for a 2nd and a 5th. Best Draft Pick - Agree. Got to be AD. At least in the modern era. Best surprise - I will go with UFA London Fletcher. Broke my heart when we let him go, then paid his salary to some scrub from Tampa Bay who wasn't half the player. Yet another bad Mike Martz move.by RantoulRam - RamsFootballFans.com
The talk about arm length - 5 weeks ago
I thought I remembered AD having shorter than ideal arms - so I looked it up. AD had 32 5/8" arms, and that was considered short at the time. So I see where the concern with guys having 31" arms or shorter comes from.by RantoulRam - RamsFootballFans.com
Wow - thanks for the analysis - 5 weeks ago
I'm from Illinois, so it would be fun to see Altmyer in horns, especially if the plan was just to use him as a backup.by RantoulRam - RamsFootballFans.com
I stand corrected - 6 weeks ago
That makes it even curiouser. But he has stuck at this job much longer than average for new hires. I did listen to a podcast last night that said that Bengals need to be better this year, or Taylor will definitely be on the hot seat.by RantoulRam - RamsFootballFans.com
Definitely Yes and also No - 6 weeks ago
Yes, because it definitely is less attractive to be an OC when the head coach is calling plays. I think by definition, that makes this position less attractive. Also NO, because despite that, Rams OCs get hired as head coaches at a ridiculous rate. So if your goal is to be a HC, at which you can call your own plays if you want to, then this is attractive despite being less attractive. Iby RantoulRam - RamsFootballFans.com
Good point - 6 weeks ago
Given the number of qb hits that Verse had, another .2 or .3 seconds of good coverage may turn him into a sack monster.by RantoulRam - RamsFootballFans.com
Learn to convert pressure to sacks - 6 weeks ago
Overall, I think we have one of the top defensive lines in the NFL. From a depth perspective, possibly the best. And we have some studs, or potential studs, starting. As a result, we get a lot of pressures. And that helps. But.... for some reason, in 2025, we did not convert pressures to sacks. Verse in particular seems to get pressure a lot, but fails to get home. (He was 11th in presby RantoulRam - RamsFootballFans.com
How about D'Marco Farr? - 7 weeks ago
Don't hear his name around here anymore. Except as an analyst.by RantoulRam - RamsFootballFans.com
I haven't watched it either - 7 weeks ago
But I won't hold that one mistake against him. His catch in the 1999 NCCCG to win the game for us earns him one gimme.by RantoulRam - RamsFootballFans.com
Thanks for all that - 7 weeks ago
I learn so much from reading the draft experts on this board, Deadpool and Alyo especially but also several other really good posters. I truly believe that by reading this board, I know more about potential Rams players than I could get from any other source, including Jourdan in her prime. I also love to learn how you guys think about players, what you care about and don't care about, whatby RantoulRam - RamsFootballFans.com
How sure are we about re-signing Avila? - 7 weeks ago
I feel like he has not performed in the latter years as well as we expected given how effective he was as a rookie. Am I off on this?by RantoulRam - RamsFootballFans.com
Re: Rams re sign OL - 7 weeks ago
Weren't we saying stuff like this last year about McLendon?by RantoulRam - RamsFootballFans.com
I'd love to see them do the Green Bay model and sell shares - 7 weeks ago
I think this is a healthier model and one that is great for the community. Also makes it basically impossible to move the team. But it would probably be tough to come up with 10 Billion by selling shares.by RantoulRam - RamsFootballFans.com
I don't have 4 but... Ricky Proehl - 7 weeks ago
Ricky was the oft-forgotten 4th WR on the GSOT Rams. Forgotten by the fans, forgotten by HOF voters, forgotten by the announcers at the time who were so enamored of the "bright-shiny" of Faulk, Bruce, Holt and Hakim. But the person who did not forget him, besides me, was Kurt Warner. Especially on 3rd down. Because Ricky was not explosive, not going to get 74-yard receptions, notby RantoulRam - RamsFootballFans.com
I think you are entirely right... - 7 weeks ago
I have been too busy at work to really dwell on it, but this was a missed opportunity. Like in 2001, but without the cheating. I think the other thing that it shows is that the Super Bowl trophy goes to the team that wins the Super Bowl, not necessarily the best team in the NFL that year. Sometimes, it is the same thing. But two relatively tiny plays were the difference this year between thby RantoulRam - RamsFootballFans.com
I'd be interested but - 7 weeks ago
i don't see any way in heck he gets past KC. And I hate the idea of pairing a superstar RB with Mahomes - that has trouble for everyone else written all over it.by RantoulRam - RamsFootballFans.com
How important is interceptions for CB prospects? (Or in the NFL?) - 7 weeks ago
When I am looking at draft profiles, and particularly at CBs due to our need this year, they always seem to point out if they have 4 or more interceptions during the season. And it seems like that is a big piece of their value. But are interceptions really a key performance indicator for CBs? Sure, I get as frustrated as the next guy when a potential INT hits a DB in the hands and he failsby RantoulRam - RamsFootballFans.com
