Re: I like all of them for the latter rounds - 6 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... - 6 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

Re: Question. Did Rams lose any cap space from Ogletree contract? - 7 years ago

The team has a 6.4 million cap hit for the remainder of the signing bonus. Cap savings for the year, estimated by me, at around 5-6 million. He was due a $10 million roster at the start of the league year though. So, the cap hit of retaining him was substantially more than the savings.

Re: Rams sign Sam Shields - 7 years ago

Should this guy be cleared to play? Scary...

Salary Cap by position percentages - 7 years ago

Given a per year fixed amount to spend on players, I believe one should have a long term strategy for how the money is spent. One strategy is to pay x percent of the salary cap per position. Ignoring specific players, how would you all assign the salary cap percentages by position group? Currently working on mine and will post mine later on. Also, what other strategies do you think are effec

Re: Rams players not pleased - 7 years ago

This is time for LaMarcus and Donald and Brockers to take the lead.

Re: Cory Littleton flashed quite a bit... - 7 years ago

Littleton impressed me. Solid in coverage and was given difficult responsiblities.

Re: One example - 7 years ago

B&G, thanks for taking the time. Do you know the down for these two pics? Looks like 8 plus to gain but cant tell the down.

Re: He was a pending FA prior to the extension... - 7 years ago

Agreed. However, his replacement would have required cap space and Ogletree was a known commodity. His cap hit for 2017 was 5.7 million per: Average Lb spending for the NFL was(is) 2.5 million. Not certain the criteria on that number but it provides some perspective on what a replacement for Ogletree in 2017 would have cost. You have a fair point. This looks like a deal that was

Re: Why did we sign him to a 4 year extension... - 7 years ago

They signed him to the deal to gain cap space in the present.

Re: Poor return value for Tree, IMO. - 7 years ago

Regarding compensation, I think it is important to include the financial side of this in any compensation received from a trade. The freed up cap space is a main reason for this deal. That freed up cap space is more meaningful/desired than the draft picks imo. Draft picks are nice, but removing the contracted amounts from the team's salary cap seems the more valuable compensation in this deal.
