Maybe not DAF - a qualifier for Detroit defensive backs.by mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
... to change a battery in a smoke alarm? Sheesh. This is too stupid to be true, but here it is: Leniore may not be as dirty as Detroit's Joseph, but if he were smart enough he probably would be. Dirty and Dumb.by mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com

We'll see. When he was first tried as a returner he a.) couldn't find the ball, b.) catch it, C.) make a good decision as to when to run or fair catch, d.) follow blocking (which isn't all on him - the return blocking then kinda stunk) or e.) create misdirection and find open field in his return routes (on him.) Cf. Devin Hester, Jon Arnett. If he is much improved in those areas, to the poby mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com

One of two answers to every question you raise. Choose A. or B. as fits the question. A. Player's union under DeMaurice Smith asked for and got, under a hotshot advocate lawyer, what wouldn't have flown under ex-player Gene Upshaw. We'll see whether Howell is better or worse for the game than Smith.. B. A league under the headship of Tagliubue and Goodell has been given to wholesale corruptby mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com

How did I miss one of my all-time favorites, Jaguar Jon Arnett? I giggled for a New York minute when Bob Hope introduced Arnett as a college all-star by saying, "he runs like a ballet dancer going through a Mau-Mau village."by mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
They forgot a few: "Reverend Ike" Isaac Bruce was fittingly nicknamed for his faith and the namesake radio evangelist, Reverend Ike. Bruce made his faith-first priorities clear while he played, and is now a full-time evangelist and preacher. Here's a link to Reverend Ike Bruce today: When I was a kid following the Rams after their move to LA, I didn't even know the first name ofby mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
I only watched a few minutes - and had trouble with that much. Clueless, classless thugs - and I have the feeling they're missing out on so much of what gives meaning to life. Trying to showcase a cleaned-up, smiley-faced Incognoto, who continues to brag about his fights, etc. demonstrates clearly again: you can't polish a tu^d.by mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
We saw it all when he was here. Had the talent but not the heart for the game. Fighting for the ball takes a certain kind of courage. Wilson will find that it's best to throw to Van only when Van feels safe. He's not a Paul Richardson.by mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com

... who'd win the hot dog eating contest? My money'd be on Avila or Dotson. :partytimeby mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
I wish I did. I heard it in an interview with a batch of those old players. As I recall there was this one OL guy who could down a hotdog in barely a bite, and when there was a hotdog eating contest he'd alwys win. He could stuff 'em down - there was a film clip of his doing it. Washed 'em down with beer. :beer2 Anyway there was some such contest before a walk-through scrimmage in trainingby mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
I remember when Chip Kelly came from Oregon into the pros and tried to institute his performance diet. He was ridiculed and lit a rebellion. "Yo! Coach! We ain't your college kids! We drink beer and eat pizza!" Just like college kids. The players who wanted to eat healthy could eat healthy - just so long as they kept quiet about it. After all, this is America - and the swordby mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
WR Bruce best choice, doesn't take much intelligence to figure that one out, even AI can do it, but why not Kupp over Tory? Ron Brown over Jon Arnett as returner? AI never watched either play football. AI = stat churner, that's all. Depends on which stats you feed it. And then not infallible. We're being sold - or programmed to accept - a mind-control bill of goods in AI, but I digress.by mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
I watched Chase Reynolds at Washinton Stadium in Missoula. He was a thumper of a running back who hit holes hard and stepped out of tackles, gaining ground on second and third effort. Kid who played on an 8-man team in a rural league and makes it big as a collegian running back? That's something I can admire, somebody I can respect and root for. He started his RB career as a Ram in a room hby mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Didn't 'Spoon twist an ankle or some such during last season? And then his play nimmediately dropped off? I seem to recall something like that. Possible the Rams typically kept the minor injury hush-hush and let the player play through it - they did the same with Noteboom (when he could play) and Havs for the year when people were sdaying he had lost a step - was all washed up. If so, ('Spoonby mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Here's how I rememberTaylor: 'Rhoid-rage amped up drug-induced stamina and energy levels coupled with a certain unlnown admix of athleticism and talent. You could see the 'rhiod rage on the field. It would have been interesting to see what he had without the juice. Thankfully he got off it, had a epiphany later in life; but I can't confuse his accomplishments on the field with true greatness.by mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Glad we have the two TE prospects we do in Allen and Parkinson, but there's no doubt: Higbee's career, like Chubb's, has been criminally damaged beyond by a cheap, dirty hit by a DAF player. I fear DAFJoseph and the possible career-ending damage that he will undoubtedly try to do if he has a shot more than I do the outcome of the Lions game. We will have 16 games to overcome a loss if it happby mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Shula says that he will emphasise tackling and that he wants pursuit to the ball. So many time I saw one player begin to make a tackle, and another close by puill up. Piling on is wrong. Gang-tackling, second player in trying to rip the ball or secure the takedown as the bang-bang situation dictates, should be the norm. I'd ratherf see the second guy jump over or redirect himself somehow toby mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Jerrah is smart, real smart. Jerrah also has a big ego - real big. You might say Jerrah ain't a good listener to other people's ideas and that he gets a little impulsive. He's got his own ideas on things and that's that. And Jerrah like to control... and Jerrah's humility you could prolly say is an area where he's coming up a little short. Put that together with a big bankroll and energy to bby mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Who is the biggest back in the room? Zack Evans. That's one thing I didn't know before I read the article, so there is that. :nerd And I didn't know that Boston Scott is littler than Corum. That too. I thought, by previous reports, that Corum was 5'6". Now he's reported as 5'8". He must be eating real well and doing lots of chins since they measured him last.

I remember Rosenbloom telling the coach during game-time when to throw a long one. Just 'cause he wanted to see it. Jimmah? Not that bad in some ways, but worse in others.

Stafford and Warner could do that. Montana could do that. Uncanny.by mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Les, please re-read the qualifications I put into this sentence: "I don't see Brady in his prime delivering in a clutch game, where the D is getting to him and the playcalls are not assisted by tapes of the opposing D, at the level that Warner in his prime or Stafford in his prime could deliver." The "how great was Tom Bradfy" conversaation could go on forever. So couldby mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
I saw Brady standing in his backfiend for long enough to eat a ham sandwich, play after play, looking heroic, during many of his "miraculous comebacks." How did that happen? Either Todd Light was the absolute best LT to ever play the game or he didn't get called for holding during a lot of those "heroic" Brady comebacks. Same across the line.

Jack Youngblood. Deacon Jones. Kurt Warner. Aaron Donald. Many, many honorable mentions. We've had some great players, and great Rams that didn't get the national publicitry, like running back Stephen Jackson, who'd be a HOF shoo-in if he weren't stuck on a play-from-behind, three-downs-and-punt offense for what would have been the epic years of his career - if the Rams had been winners.by mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Agreed, and a point I tried to make earlier. Look at the GSOT - it took a great QB to run the show, but the Holt-Bruce-Faulk trio provided Warner with the tools he needed - and that only a great QB could fully utilize - to make the GSOT great.by mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
