QuoteJamesJM I don't think Kroenke making that suggestion, (the word 'dictating' here is hyyperbole I think) does not equate to 'less smart'. I see it in my head as all of them around the "Round Table" and just before the slamming of the gavel Kroenke turning to Fisher and saying something akin to, "sure would be nice for a win in this game", then winking.

Quotestlramz But as you know, rules have exceptions and my guess there was a conversation with Stan this week how "important" this game is to "everyone" and what it would "mean to everyone to win". And, in quiet reflection, Fisher will recall he has never received such a call before. Rams win. Orders from the top. In other words, we can imagine what we wby zn - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotestlramz Ironic isn't it? Are you being ironic?by zn - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotestlramz While I agree with your assessment generally, I think tonight is central to the big rollout of you LOS ANGELES RAMS. The Rams do what is necessary to win. I think that idea is just in the heads of fans. In fact if you look at SK's other teams the same pattern holds. .by zn - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotestlramz to your steely gaze on today's game. football's back and, of course WE ALL CARE DEEPLY! Go Rams. By the way, look forward to meeting you and other ram fans real soon!

Quotemax So yeah, I'm excited that Rams football is about to start again, but I'm super pumped that its back in the stadium where I saw it for the first time as a little kid. That's one view. The nomads who like them back in LA. I like how there are many DIFFERENT views. Like, St Louis fans who are becoming reluctant nomads. And nomads who are just indifferent to place.

QuoteRFIPI find it funny how Wentz was painted as this corn-ball of a kid who would be too frightened to handle LA where as Goff . When or where did THAT happen? (?) So (apparently?) one or 2 posters I didn't read might have said something like that and now it's an established significant opinion that has to be re-fought for life?

QuoteGreatRamNTheSky I think many more care about where then ZN realizes and LA is the place. Grits To me it's never numbers. I have friends in St Louis and friends in LA. And friends who are nomads. And here the season is starting, and the season belongs to all of us. I am in perfect harmony with those who are just simply glad Rams football is back.

QuoteGreatRamNTheSky Not just a pre-season game. Grits Of course not. That was the whole point. Said with irony. For you of course it's a location thing. For a lot of us nomads it's the welcome return of the season. We all care or we wouldn't all be here.by zn - RamsFootballFans.com
It's no big deal. I can do without it. It's not like I noticed for months when the first pre-season game was and arranged weeks in advance to have that time free. It's not like the Rams playing a game means anything really significant. I mean it's just a game. And just a preseason game at that. What kind of addicted fan looks forward to a preseason game?by zn - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRAMbler Did ESPN screw up that bad? I'll be pissed! It's their temporary Rams correspondant, Steve Dilbeck. He doesn't know the Rams. And ESPN doesn't fact check every article on all 32 teams. I would believe Farmer.by zn - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteOld Goat And maybe his hire was by design after all. Fish has been moving pieces on the board with the O since the Shott "promotion" (and not always for the better). If he happens to hit on this hire, a promotion and "reassignment" for Boras would not at all be out of bounds or outside his MO. We're already getting spoon fed media articles about how much these two get aloby zn - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteSunTzu_vs_Camus and just shifting Boras to handling what he does already...but I think -based on nuthin but wishful thinking- that Groh and the passing game will be a very important development for the offense and Fisher won't wanna lose him....to a team that needs an OC. jmo It was run heavy. Not even balanced (by my definition) but run heavy. They ran like 46% of the time.by zn - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotemerlin Fish isn't going to fire Boras if the offense executes well. An OC job, meanwhile, will be an upgrade over what Groh does now with the Rams, in running the whole show. Lastly, Fish is more like Fox than he is Green Bay, in that he doesn't stand in the way of coaches interviewing for upgraded positions. My hope IF this offense greatly improves is that they give Groh a big pay hikeby zn - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRampage2K- I think Groh is bringing an Adam Gase type offensive philosophy .... From what I saw in practice he is very demanding and very up tempo. Looking at a quick strike offense this year that is going to thrive with our current personal. I think the rookie WR's are going to make a big impact also. It was a run-heavy attack. The 2015 Bears were 26th in passing attempts. ...by zn - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotemax That should do it. You think they'll do that if they don't suffer big OL injuries and lose their QB? I'll be shocked. But that's just me. You know 2 of the playoff teams I listed that were at the bottom of the league in attempts did not reach your twin benchmarks of 3500/20. The Chiefs have 20 TDs but not the yards, and the Vikes have neither.by zn - RamsFootballFans.com
Quoteoldmanram It could be true that this kid was the next highest rated player but I have been saying for a while now that the Rams were low in numbers of DT' on the roster . useualy a high casualty position That could be possible too. .by zn - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteSoCalRAMatic I think the Rams like Kush the Tush as the backup center. He looks huge and love his wardrobe. He is hilarious and HBO decides who is on our team. As far as back up PK. We already have a guy doing that too. Not sure if he's actual competition, but he's in camp. If there's a better option out there we'll probably bring him in fro tryout.

QuoteRams43 Quotezn QuoteRams43 Why did the Rams use their 90th roster spot on a DT? Hmmmmm? Is that an indication of some dissatisfaction with their DT corps? Were they simply in love with this kids potential and think he might be a gem? Are they really pleased with their depth at every single other position group? I don't think that they needed him for a camp body at that position,by zn - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotemax We are very close to what's going on with this team, so I wanted to step back and look at the passing game from a reasonable perspective. Here's the bottom line: Given the following: 1. 3+ year vets who have never produced at least 800 receiving yds in a season. 2. rookie QB and/or journeyman QB. 3. rookie receivers not taken in the 1st or 2nd round.

QuoteLMU93 I think Groh could make a real impact. he seems demanding and precise. More creative. Same things were said about Boras. Attention to detail. Etc. Boras, remember, is the playcaller. Groh is the WR coach who contributes to gameplans.by zn - RamsFootballFans.com
Quoteramithard I have seen lazy fake fan-blog type journalists try to stir up this argument. HOWEVER, and I know this for a fact, the entire Pace speech was up on NFL.com this whole time.

QuoteHazlet Hacksaw I'd agree with that but we all know our coach is the king of doubletalk. Actually I don't know that...and I don't think it. Either way it doesn't apply to the situation, which means this---they are deliberately avoiding a timetable when it comes to starting Goff, and in the meanwhile their confidence in Keenum as a placeholder till Goff is ready is pretty high.

QuoteHazlet Hacksaw Fisher is the king of downplaying things. Looking forward to hard knocks and hearing how great Goff is playing and then seeing Keenum start game 1 anyway. :) Goff could be doing well and still not, in the eyes of the staff, be ahead of an experienced vet by game one.
