I heard a Saints guy critique Cooks as a speed guy with good hands, a very good WR. But the Saints tried him with bubble screens and jet sweeps and Cooks just doesn't have elusiveness to do it. Thats not his game. He said Cooks has no wiggle to his game and that he can't do what Tavon Austin can do in that regard. Cooks also is not a contested ball guy. What Cooks is is a speed guy who can take tby max - RamsFootballFans.com
That guy changes his mind from one minute to the next. It’s foolish to take what he says seriously. You’re much better off agreeing with me.by max - RamsFootballFans.com

Goff was rated #38 in the top 100 players by NFL.com With only the top 10 players overall left to announce there shouldn't be any surprises on QBs. These 4 guys will be in the top 10.

QuoteRams43 No, make that stunned. Lol. Watkins? RG3? There were a lot of whoppers the last 10 years. Hiring Fisher wasn't the worst, IMO. And this is coming from the guy that led the charge to fire him in 2016. You would be hard pressed to find an unbiased observer who thought that Fisher wasn't responsible for fielding the worst offense in the NFL with the Rams.by max - RamsFootballFans.com

I just wanted to pick up on one bit---what happened to Gurley in 2016? And I'm going to leave it at that. I get it, but it’s pulling one issue out of a multitude that was bad about the Rams offense.

Goff was rated #38. So far 3 QBs were rated above him. Ryan, Cam, and Stafford. Certainly these 6 guys will be above him too.

Heck, it’s easy to find quotes where a GM says he conferred with the HC before making a move. Like this recent one...

QuoteSpeed_Kills In 2012, the St. Louis Rams gave Snead the GM job, handed him the keys to the drafting, the releasing, the hiring and the firing. The Rams had already hired coach Jeff Fisher. Their club was a group of bass guitars in search of a lead singer. As recently as 2016, people wondered if Snead could hang on.

With the Rams back in LA, this stuff takes on high powered glitz and buzz in the media. Let’s not ignore the influence that his wife Kara Henderson has on Snead’s handling of the media. From where I sit Snead is much more assertive in his taking credit for building this roster. Sure, he took responsibility before, but he always deferred to Fisher in the pressers. Those days are long gone. My guesby max - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotezn Quotemax Very subtle, IMO, in the way he never mentioned Fisher in any of the draft moves. Les makes it sound like he was the man doing the picks.

But the major takeaway was that Goff was being overhyped. He scoffed at the #38 ranking in the top 100 players list. He’s basically saying Goff hasn’t looked that good to him. IMO, that means last year or what he’s seen of Goff so far this off-season. You can be said to be doing very well and still not be a top QB. That’s what’s being discriminated here.

The Texans signed JJ Watt when he was totally dominating the NFL and was clearly the best defensive player in the league. Its doable. You want to put this on Donald when no one knows what he wants and we do know that the Rams have historically mangled contracts.by max - RamsFootballFans.com
