People that would expect him to be. A lot of the history of this board is gone now, so we are no longer able to refer back to some integral posts from evaluation season. But.... ~ He has no experience in a pro style offense ~ Needs development with the mechanics of dropping back from under center ~ His ball placement in short areas is not great ~ He gets frenetic in the pocket movinby laram - RamsFootballFans.com
Real nice summary and somethings that I expect(ed) to see regardless of what time of the year it is. This caught my eye, for some reason, although its certainly no surprise. QuoteMo Alexander and McDonald again were starting saftey's. Both struggled in coverage. And they will all season. Williams is going to have to earn his salary and live up to his reputation by scheming to cover theby laram - RamsFootballFans.com
A #1 wr is not measured by yards, despite input to the contrary. I knew from the start that the fundamental difference was in the interpretation. That was anticipated. Btw, those SB winners are perennial winners, consistently in the playoff hunt. Bye.by laram - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteSpeed_Kills Glad to hear Gain's injury wasn't anything serious. I like Roberson too. I guess we will find out but I'm not as concerned as some others about losing Jenkins. The Rams are deep at DB... Now the LBs, that I'm a bit more concerned about What's "deep" is that manure you're peddling. lol The Rams are light in the caboose homie.

And often times is split wide drawing #1 coverage. There should be no distinction made for Gronk the way NE uses him.by laram - RamsFootballFans.com
The simpleton response ignores the fact that the wr position is ALSO among the most drafted position in the 1st rd. Why is that genius? I don't need to name them. Most people that know the game can You have to win in the playoffs to advance to the SB. And the SB is the ultimate goal I'm 100% sure every coach and every player would agree.by laram - RamsFootballFans.com
Its only a myth on the internet to those that don't know what a #1 wr is. The last 10 SB winners. Every team had one, with one exception.

Well I never specifically claimed that he's easily replaced, although I believe he is. He can be replaced by a player who doesn't exahust the resources of the playbook. I did say I would like to have him back, he is a game breaker in the right situations There are several players in the league that beat coverages even when the defense knows they're the target, Brown, Nelson, Beckham,by laram - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteWhat do we see here? Austin gets the Rams going when the offense is stalled. They're able to get TD's out of him in close quarters or long, due to his speed and his elusiveness even when the redzone is crowded. TA had double TD's in 4 games, and the Rams won all of those games. That's 4 of their 7 wins, 3 of them against division rivals. Can the Rams go to Tavon Austin when they need a bby laram - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteHe's got his particular and unique skillset, and they wanted that. I agree comparing him to a typical WR is apples to oranges but it's just true that there isn't anyone else quite like him in the NFL so it's hard to make a comparison to guys similar to him because there isn't anyone as elusive/explosive/slippery right now. There are guys who run/catch/return of course, but they aren't like hby laram - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteTonyHunter87 If the team needed a traditional receiver and passed on them to pick Austin. What don't you understand? Not arguing what they should have done. Whether or not they shopuld have drafted a traditional wide receiver. My position on that is clear to those that read me. I'm specifically speaking to comparing the results of a gadget player to a traditional wide receiver.by laram - RamsFootballFans.com
Which is why I said I agreed with your overall assessment of him. But.... You're trying to support your "overrated" assessment of him by comparing him to a non-gadget player. That doesn't work.by laram - RamsFootballFans.com
If you think he's a "fine gadget player" why are you comparing him to a "non-gadget player'? Cooper is a wide receiver, and that's the way he is used. Although I agree with your overall assessment of Austin, we part ways when you start comparing him to traditional wide receivers. Why don't you compare his results with someone like Tyler Lockett who is a similar player perfby laram - RamsFootballFans.com
NO. Patterson is the only player on that offense besides AP that can take it to the house from anywhere on the field. Which I believe was the OP's point. Norv Turner should be someplace fishing with Mike Martz. The NFL offensive game has passed him by. He doesn't know how to utilize a talent like Patterson anymore than the Rams do Tavon.

Quote21Dog QuoteNewMexicoRam if the Rams had picked Joe Montana in the pick they had right before the Niners did. It goes both ways. Montana/Walsh was the perfect football marriage. Not sure Montana has the same level of success in another system. Not saying he wouldn't have been good, but I don't think he would have approached the success he had with Walsh under another HC.

QuoteLMU93 The thing with PFF is I think they do a good job in season of grading week to week. But they don't project based on anything else. I think the Rams' OL, for example, has definite promise based on what the rookies should last year and considering the offseason work Robinson did. A top 10 unit? No. But that low? I don't agree. And any team starting a rookie at a position is going toby laram - RamsFootballFans.com
