B. Cooks vs Jaguars AFC Championship Game - 7 years ago

Went through the game video for the Patriots and Jaguars with the goal of learning more about Mr. Cooks. Please find my thoughts below: 10 targets --i include the pis as targets 6 catches, 100 yards 2 called Pass interference penalties Routes ran as target Streak x3 2xPI, 20+ Comeback x3 --10, 18, 18 Out x1-- Inc In x1--8 P

Re: Not a Joyner Fan - 7 years ago

LaMarcus is a bargain imo. 11.3 million cap hit no dead money. He allows everyone to play aggressively in front of him and we don't give up big plays. A second year LaMarcus is going to make more big plays too. I'll take LaMarcus over Suh everyday at 13 million or less.

Re: Excellent! Loved this! Except for at the 2:10 mark... - 7 years ago

Talib getting beat there was odd. Talib had safety help over the middle and probably should have maintained outside levearage on Cooks. I'm not a pro db but that route seems to have been misplayed.

Re: Rams strategy of trading picks for top players - 7 years ago

I like this alot more than the Beathard style of trading future picks for current ones. For example, he often traded his next year's one for a two this year--present value greater than future blah blah. The compensation picks and salary cap have definitely changed the dynamics of player acquisition. My favorite part about what we are doing is information. McVay is getting information on these

Re: Breaking down the current roster, could use some opinions - 7 years ago

WR, CB, DL are the strongest OLB could use starter OT, OG , S, ILB, OLB need depth I am satisfied we have quality depth at Center and RB. Needs: 1. OLB 2. OT 3. ILB--when Barron breaks down it will be immediate and dramatic 3. FS depth--centerfielder type; if Joyner gets hurt.... 4. DT for post-Suh Other than OT, I think we very much are in a place where we can take the best pl

Re: While Everett didn't live up to the draft slot - 7 years ago

Everett had limited opportunities but flashed playmaking potential. The majority of Everett's snaps were on the boundary in 3rd and long, obvious passing situations. Not many targets are going his way in those situations. As a rookie, he played in limited situations and made some plays. I would expect that to continue and with added experience and physical, technical development he should

Re: King: MMQB - 7 years ago

anyone have intel on how Sammy was "unreliable"? From "What it means for Rams" section para2 McVay is so enthused because he’s wanted a reliable outside speed receiver since he got to Los Angeles. Sammy Watkins, who left for Kansas City in free agency, was fast but not altogether reliable. Now McVay can deploy Cooks and Robert Woods on the outside and Cooper Kupp in the

Re: Typo chl I meant Sammy...NM - 7 years ago

Ok. All the coverages we faced were predicated on Sammy imo. We agree. I'll watch the Pats Jags and report back. Hoping to not see a one-trick pony with Cooks.

Re: Re:So who were they doubling then?... - 7 years ago

LA, you saying Woods pulled additional coverage last year?

Re: Caserly - "Cooks is better then Watkins" - 7 years ago

it will be a dull draft. but im good w that.

Re: I like all of them for the latter rounds - 7 years ago

Personally, I don't think Mike OT Notre Dame is worth a first. Plays a finesse game and is not very agile. Penny is gone in the second imo.

Re: Very interesting... - 7 years ago

The decision was close for me. I would be happy with either. The main factor in my choosing Peters was the belief that our current offense is good enough to win playoff games with a special teams that plays normally and an improved defense. Secondary, but lessor concern was I think OBJ's price will be significantly higher than Peter's.

Re: Jason Whitlock explains why the Rams are showing signs of arrogance this offseason - 7 years ago

Whitlock has a legitimate argument in my opinion though it is means nothing. If any of the players turn out bad for the team chemistry wise--cut them, be rid of them. None of these players acquired can not be removed at anytime. Perhaps there is an opportunity cost of lost snaps, etc for another player that could have been on the team, but giving talent a chance--especially at a reasonable pri

Re: The Rams have pushed all their chips to the center of the table... - 7 years ago

Intersting take on the developments. I don't see is much risk with any of the moves they have made. Risk to the long term success of the team. Plenty of money to sign the core players long term--Gurley,Goff, Donald, LaMarcus, Peters(probably). Personally, these 'despearate' actions are nice to see. They have a strategy for winning and executing that strategy. As opposed to the decade pl

Re: No effect - 7 years ago

Interesting, so Suh was cut, becomes a free agent, then signs is considered different than contract naturally ending and becoming a free agent for the purposes of compensatory picks?

Re: Suh jerking us through hoops man - 7 years ago

What is wrong with Suh taking time to make a decision? He has alot to consider--fit with team, moving his family,money, etc. Seems prudent and wise to take time for making the best decision. Other than my impatience to know the result, I think what he is doing is smart.

Depends on Dollars - 7 years ago

for total equal dollars I'll take Suh and it is not close.

Re: amazing...is what it is...the NFL Network has real shot at teaching folks... - 7 years ago

Haha. Agreed. Im very selective who I watch/listen to these days. Watched la's Shannon and Skip clip about Suh the other day--painful, but Skip showed decent Rams knowledge. Blew me away.

Re: Perfect Example - 7 years ago

The argument did nothing until last year proves nothing. The rating is solely based on the latest data--the last year. Every player will have an initial year of grading high. It seems that your issue is more that you disagree with the importance of the player to the team. Look at Mo Alexander as an example of the importance of the high safety to Wade's defense. I am one of Sammy's top fa

Re: he never bought in - 7 years ago

Thanks. Watched that td again. It was pretty poor. He hesitates, goes back and forth between covering the sideline or the middle of the field.

Draft Pick Analysis--interesting article - 7 years ago

The research is clear: never trade up. Always trade down.

Paying Donald is extremely important - 7 years ago

Donald will be the first true star the current team management decides to sign. The current story is--let JJ walk, let Tru walk, let Sammy walk, sign and trade Ogletree and Quinn. This team needs to pay some players. Brockers signed for three years 33 million. Football is no different than normal life--they need to pay the players what they are worth or risk losing their loyalty. Donald

Re: Rams Trying to Sign Terrelle Pryor?? - 7 years ago

Anyone have any insight on his year with the Redskins?

Re: Re:Ever look at how many FA's helped their teams to SB's? - 7 years ago

Dont forget Tom Nutten. He was able to negate Sapp.

Re: Thanks. - 7 years ago

From what I know of football, it seems Wade is probably comfortable committing more resources/players to stop the run if he is confident his guys can hold up in coverage with less support. Saban, from his days with Cleveland, spoke about how Pittsburgh defeated their defense. Saban ran a cover three, which puts eight men in the box. Pittsburgh attacked the seams with 4 vertical routes and f
