That was the moment where I was really blown away by the difference with 9 back there.by merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
Quoteleafnose Timing is everything. Was just considering the future for Havs. If there was a spot to draft for the future, his certainly would be in the mix. Not only for the $$$ involved in the future to retain him, but having a body coming off the bench. I'm not convinced Evans is the right guy. Unlike Allen, who I kept a spot for just cuz "Grumpy" had the right stuff, Evans hasby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotealyoshamucci It was 13 per, right? Armstead got 15 per, didn't he? Whit was making 16? And Hav is making 10? 9? Seems like top 15 money. I was hoping it would be like 8 or 9. Next year he'll be around 13 yeah I think it was. But there will be more guys paid and he'll slide. So this year he looks really affordable for the team, and next year his pay goes up to what I'd gueby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
And if that happens then maybe he would start campaigning in-house. But he's still new and fresh to the league. He has seen a ton of success and was just in the NFC Championship.by merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
It says Boom has a lot to prove. That his snaps have been small in sample size. If the NFL agreed with PFF on Boom he would have had big time offers and been signed away because teams are desperate for LTs. Indy for example would have pounced on him alone. IMO discounts happen when a player doesn't get the market they want. Then they spin it as they wanted to return and all that. Not to sby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
Deebo is a guy you move others to keep. They will pay him and fit him in.by merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
Would you pay him $5M of your cap space? More? I think the Rams have a number in mind, probably something commensurate with who the player is now. And maybe he's got more in him than last year's film shows. Maybe he was going through the motions a bit. Either way they drafted a guy who can stay on the field three downs in Jones. He needs to play to get better. So it feels wrong to brinby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
No other way to look at it. Player who has a history of high production with poor QBs throwing him the ball. He fits Stafford like he was made to be one of his receivers with his sure hands and physical brand of ball. Robinson is also a large wideout, giving the Rams now a 1-2 who are big and physical weapons you can't jam and who are still open when covered or focused. Biggest value to Robby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
I like the idea of Wagner coming in affordable but he's not a three down guy any more. I like the idea of his leadership and what he'd give us in divisional games especially against Seattle but just go get a corner with that cap space. Granted I won't complain if they add BW. It just feels like the return isn't going to be all that great however.by merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
So it's natural to look at things the way you do there. But these guys are used to winning their jobs. They're used to being expected to produce and to have a bottom line in competition with other top athletes. They know the drill. They know it's a business. I doubt there is a negative from this in the minds of the players because the Rams win. The cost of winning is you perform or you'reby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRockRam q Is what does he have left. His ball floats pretty bad now. He's never been good under any sort of pressure. He's a smart dude, knows the offense the Colts run, and a good leader. He won't be all prickly with his ego like Wentz was. On paper it looks like a good move I agree. But he might not have much left in the tank. If he did, the Colts probably would have had to giveby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
Yeah I would just draft OLB given what it looks like out there. You gotta pay these guys so much to bring them in they're not gonna be worth it now. Von was worth chasing but they lost him, happens. So get young there and this is a nice class to maybe find a rotation piece to help us at least. I do like some of the FAs still available at TE (Gronk), Safety (Honey Badger), and Corner (Gilmorby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
Wrecked culture. Get out of here. You're letting your disappointment in losing a fan favorite player color your opinion a bit too much. Lighten up. We're world champs and the Rams are gonna have a lot to say about who takes the Lombardi this year too. Von was the belle of the ball at OLB. Rams aren't like some posters round these parts, they're not gonna give up and throw their hands in tby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
Which I think probably relates to how much better he was than the other options. His play for us in that stretch was elite. Either way I like the way they pivot quickly and go right to making this team better just in a different position. We still have AD. We still have a fine DL overall with only one loss this offseason in SJD and a replacement waiting in the wings from last year's draft.by merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRampage2K- We'll be fine.....players know this is a business not a fraternity This is just how you stay ahead of the pack, nothing personal.. The great players know this front office is going to continue to load it around them. The cost is the loss of friends on the team the moment their play slips. The benefit however is knowing you're in the mix for rings. Legacy. Maybe even thatby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
Rams owe him another big playoff loss. Nothing would make me happier than a Rams/Bucs NFC Championship. :thumbsupby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
Big and menacing dude but he's a classic 4-3 type. Too heavy footed to play OLB in this scheme.by merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
I think the Rams didn't fully project the difference in the QB from the perspective of risky throws. Stafford is fearless. The term gunslinger gets used too much with QBs but Stafford really is one. He's a vet and old dog too and isn't gonna change who he is at this stage in his career. Look at the drafting of Tutu. That would never have happened if the Rams had anticipated Stafford puttinby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
This guy is going to make some huge catches for us this year. :beercanby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
For that to happen it means the Rams improved. That's no small thing. Because Woody is a good receiver. Robinson is just significantly better. Robinson gives us a second Kupp type element. Big target who hauls in everything around him. Stafford can put the ball on him when he's covered in a desperate type situation and there's a reasonable chance a play gets made instead of the ball beingby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
That will give the team the most wiggle room to get more pieces around 9 to push for more rings. My hope going into this was that we'd get the first two years of low cap. Looks like year one is cheap which is great. Year two maybe not but eager to see the breakdown.by merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
Odell knows what Robinson is. The guy is like Kupp. QBs love him and he has a way of eating a large volume of passes. So if Odell returns I think as WR3 in the playoffs he'll give us a nice boost because he's better than Jefferson by a good margin. But if not that's ok, best of luck to him with the Cowboys or whoever. Said this in another thread and will repeat it: Odell is a different typby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
I think Odell is a free spirit type personality who isn't going to fit with every contender. Rams are one of the fits. None of these moves really affect him either, because he was looking at a prove-it short term deal the moment he blew that knee out. So sign with the Rams. Kick some butt again in the playoffs and win another ring. Then cash in with a big FA signing that will set his familby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
But it was necessary to improve at the position. Same thing here. Fans will be fine once they see Robinson doing his thing in this offense.by merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
It's rare to see a team put a ton of money in one group. Generally that's going to be inefficient. Rams did it recently with Donald, Suh, and Brock. So when you have a WR3 making coin it has a clear solution which is that trade. In fact if Woods wasn't so well liked around the league for his game he would have been cut. But thankfully they found a trade partner. Now that money can be puby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
This guy is a threat there. Both him and Kupp can gash the middle and have the hands you want to do it.by merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
It's clear this is a guy who is qualified for that job. And in today's hiring madness of young offensive minds he's overqualified tbh. I think he's ready. How can he not be. He has a long history of putting together good offenses. As long as he's matured a bit as a leader I think he'll be just fine. He's going to win a lot of games in Vegas IMO. Question I have is how well the owner wiby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
Aikman knows he's not a top three guy. Woody is a good wideout, versatile, kind of guy you need on your team to win big games. Not elite though. Top 3 are Adams, Kupp, and Chase. Even in the top ten range Woods has a hard time measuring up vs guys like Deebo, Jefferson, Diggs, etc.by merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
Big time rush skills. Can't play the run at all and they kept him out of those situations so lot of teams iffy on him from rumors out there. So him sliding to us would be great. But I still think that's a longshot. Those rush skills will drive some team who wants to gamble on edge to take a flyer on him prior to our pick. To me he looks like a Jerry Jones pick waiting to happen. :ROTFby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
