Just not a dude you'd see on a hot list of college coordinators. But it is cool that he's spinning by Rams Park to kiss the ring. I don't know that I ever expected us to have that great a head coach prior to McVay doing his thing. We are blessed. :thumbsupby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
I am still surprised they did not move Rapp. He was drafted for a classic SS role under Wade. Great kid but this defense is not a great fit for him. I get that he has value in giving the team another good box element but that is not hard to find. And Burgess is a bust. He will probably be cut, hard to imagine them making room for him again when they just loaded two draft picks that bring sby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
Take instances of how many times he was positioned to be relied upon for a gameplan but ended up being unavailable in terms of executing it. He has one year left. Rams should be phasing him out. Akers is right behind him too. I love Akers game but he either shows he can be available this year or he will give way to Williams this season and another young draftee next year.by merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
It is a waste of time to write and to read I think. That draft was heavy in dev picks. Year two should clarify things but it is still way too early.by merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
I think that is the question. Rams have a better strong side OLB in Floyd. Nassib is a bit heavy for that role too, so 5T is where he would need to play in this defense.by merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
I like Philly's offseason too btw so it's going to be interesting to see his impact with them. He said he liked their DL and I agree they have a nice front.by merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
Is that he's got a lot of pride. And generally when he's upset or worked up due to his ego getting a butt kicking he plays his best. Chase is just a really nasty matchup. IMO he's a guy you double.by merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
It's been a long time since we've drafted a guy with his ability to play the ball. As I've mentioned before the last one I can recall is Bly. His problem is he gets bodied by bigger WRs. But I'm confident his ability to track that ball and his awareness of it are going to pay big dividends as an addition to this group of corners. We don't have any ballhawks, or didn't prior to adding Durantby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
Because I don't think he can handle Chase solo. Ramsey is one of the best all around corners in the league. There are no corners in this league close to him in terms of physicality vs the run and he can lock down most receivers by himself. But he's not the best cover corner and some of these young wideouts are going to be guys he will need help on. Chase is one of them.by merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
That would be Boom being able to hold up to facing the best every week and to stay healthy. For a guy with Bruss' film to slide into RG between a stud like Hav and a solid Center I don't anticipate any issues. He'll probably kill it for us and at the least will be solid and improve as the season unfolds. So my concerns in order are Boom > run game potency. If those two things work out Iby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
Those passes he put on Kupp late in all those big games required elite level manipulation of DBs in space. Kupp has always been a difference maker in this offense, but after adding Stafford he went to a new level. As it pertains to Robinson when he's the first read he's going to be open a lot. Certainly due to his own skill and that of Kupp. But in the crunch time it'll also be due to Staffby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
I was very surprised at the Super Bowl in Atlanta (one we lost to the Pats) when the beer prices were lower than you'd see with most other teams during the regular season. For an owner to not allow price gouging at that event is some serious self control. I've always wished him well since. Too bad he's got a turd as his HC but maybe he'll figure it out.by merlin - RamsFootballFans.com

I wasn't too high on the signing when it happened due to thinking we would see Jones emerge this season and Wags being long in the tooth and all that. But the more I learn about this guy the more I realize it could be that offseason under-the-radar signing that everyone overlooks that ends up being huge for a team. You can't have enough good leaders. Thinking right now that he's going to helpby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
I have a real good feeling about Bruss. Hope he lives up to expectations. :thumbsupby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
Other than that I agree with your post. But unfortunately for the guys who start out with marginal arm strength that can be something that age hurts them and hastens the end. Ryan is sort of in that boat. Manning was for sure too. But with Ryan it's going to be interesting to see whether he can build that arm up and do better at muscling those deep outs. Brees I think is done. His balby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
He's the best coach in the league. He's the youngest coach in the league. I'd have him as top dog immediately after winning that Super Bowl. Why risk losing him.by merlin - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteRockRam The Giants have to be looking sideways at Daniel Jones. I think Mayfield would push Jones, and in fact might be able to take the job from him. Although when it comes to QBs, I'm not at all sure that any can be "pushed" by competition to be better. They either have it or they don't. I don't know what their cap is and all that, which would probably play a bit in that equatiby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
I have to think the Steelers offer him enough to overcome any thoughts he might have of say a one year deal with the Rams to play for McVay. I think Mayfield would want to play for McVay. Just a hunch as I recall a story a while back before the draft of McVay happening to be on the same flight as him. If those two talked ball I am sure he remembers that and given McVay's success it makes senseby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteEkern55 I think Shanny is going to miss Mike McDaniel. Hopefully you are correct. At the least maybe it affects Shanny overall by putting more on his plate. I will add that the OG they lost to FA (Tomlinson #75) should prove to be a big loss too. He has been one of the more successful OGs vs AD, which is no small feat.

I am in the midwest and of course I stream the games when they're not on TV but this year I suspect there will be a lot of games on the big screen. So many big games cannot wait. :thumbsupby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
No doubt in my mind, though it would be nice to see the demand for tickets on the Rams side to be great enough to avoid all that. But Bills fans travel very well and their team is a primary contender this year in every aspect so they're going to want to witness this one opening vs the Champs.by merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
No idea on what the answer is but what intrigues me is why there weren't more long runs. And I think the reason is because teams prioritized the pass vs our offense. There is always some DB making an amazing tackle with a ton of green behind him it seems. So if they can create more threat in the ground game this year it will have some profound impact on what is already one of the best offensby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
If not we have big problems. But I view Bruss as very low chance of struggling, what with how strong he is (I think his tape looks better than both Hav and Edwards did in terms of consistency) plus not needing to be on the edge while adjusting to NFL speed, plus fitting in with two of his linemates being guys he knows so well. He's probably as close to a sure thing in terms of being able to staby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
McVay tends to get better vs his opponents as he sees them in a given year. Extra looks seems to help him overcome them. Last year he slayed the dragon with SF with the third game he got to see them. The first one we got blown out. Second was to the wire. Third game sent them home for the offseason. Two years ago it was the Seahawks, and the Rams beat them in the playoffs with a wounded andby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
Regardless of who wanted him they went with upside with the pick. Now they may have to wait for him to develop and they have a very powerful and loaded Rams roster to compete with in the interim. It's quite a pickle. At this point I don't think Shanahan would have any problem getting another gig. But the GM is another matter. So what we may see is a power struggle and unless the owner is aby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
No way to know of course. Personally I am not interested in writing Tutu off, but the way this offense seems to be trending I don't know how much he fits. By that I mean Stafford loves to put the ball on guys sometimes even when they're covered. How will that work out with such a small player? Meh. But maybe he's valuable just as the scheme it up guy.
