albeit not conclusive. moreover, you did say that its "clear from that article that there is little statistical significance once you get above 52% and really not much difference down to 48%". you can assign significance if you want, but its NOT clear. moreover, small sample size? the sample covers every team from 2011-2017...thats 224 data points which is not huge but well beyondby PHDram - RamsFootballFans.com
littleton: as they rams have demonstrated as of late i dont think they are willing to shell out money to an ilb. i could be wrong but i believe littleton will be gone if for no other reason then his position. brockers: you know hat you have with brockers. hes good and reliable but not spectacular. if they want him back i will bet they extend him over summer. if they dont i think hes gone.by PHDram - RamsFootballFans.com
well pumphrey was drafted in 2017. i thought they were referring to the 2018 draft but maybe im wrong.by PHDram - RamsFootballFans.com
well i agree it says 10. however there is some evidence of a curvilinear between wins and percent of the salary cap on 10 players in that the wins go up until you hit that 60 percent mark where it appears that teams that spend 60+ on 10 players tend to be top heavy. Pct. Teams Avg. wins 0-39% 13 4.8 40-43% 30 6.4 44-47% 51 8.0 48-51% 46 8.3 52-55% 50 8.9 56-59% 26 9.2 60+% 8by PHDram - RamsFootballFans.com
I dont want to speak for zn but I dont think he was advocating over 60 percent but rather up to 60. More specifically 55-59 percent which is what the table shows. All these tables however are missing a standard deviation which makes them a little hard to interpret. Especially the second set of tables.by PHDram - RamsFootballFans.com
Thanx! Seems odd that spotrac would assume a constant cap given that it rises every year but I guess they prefer the more conservative approach.by PHDram - RamsFootballFans.com
rams brought him in for a visit back in 2018 and he ended up going in the 4th round. maybe they planned on picking him in the jfm spot?by PHDram - RamsFootballFans.com
i think the cap would permit something like: fowler (13) brockers (12) talib (8) and zeurlein (4). The only hesitation i have on brockers is that JFM played pretty well in that spot last year when given the opportunity.by PHDram - RamsFootballFans.com
looking ahead next year the rams have several notable free agents. while clearly its still early who would you keep? the rams currently have 44 million in cap space. im assuming AW will retire. I think (1) fowler, (2) either talib or peters and (3) probably zuerlein must be re-signed.any others? Dante Fowler Jr. Andrew Whitworth Michael Brockers Aqib Talib Cory Littleton Marcusby PHDram - RamsFootballFans.com
no lb taken source: im well aware that undrafted players sometimes turn out to be contributors and very good players. on average it feels like the rams find 1 every year. my point is that if they felt so strongly about reeder they would NOT have selected another player at the same position (allen) over him. is it possible they KNEW they could get reeder to be the NEXT london fletch? sureby PHDram - RamsFootballFans.com
While Reeder has a shot it's hard to argue that at this point it's better then Allen's. If they liked Reeder better they would have drafted him over Allen.by PHDram - RamsFootballFans.com
seems like hell be in competition with dakota allen for a backup ilb/ special teams job.by PHDram - RamsFootballFans.com
That we have not really had an opportunity to see Allen and Noteboom mcvay and company saw it every day in practice last year. Obviously they feel both are ready to compete at a high level or they would have been more focused on oline in the draft.by PHDram - RamsFootballFans.com
will save 4 million. their replacements were drafted in long (hill) and scott and rapp (countess).by PHDram - RamsFootballFans.com
Lol. Ok. Well see. I just dont want you to be too disappointed.by PHDram - RamsFootballFans.com
this is your problem. you are dealing with a small homogeneous sample. if your friends were season ticket holders since day 1 they are at least 35, probably older. this is NOT the group NIKE nor the rams are marketing too. its just not. you should give up any hope that the uniforms will look like they did in the 60s 70s or 80s. its just not going to happen. only old men want to buy old schoby PHDram - RamsFootballFans.com
just to be clear, im including myself in that group. not trying to offend anybody.by PHDram - RamsFootballFans.com
to be honest, i really dont understand your point. are you saying you dont assign a monetary value to a players worth? thats fine, its not your job. but im fairly certain all nfl teams do. moreover, i agree (i think) that its ok to overpay one player if you underpay another. players like ad, tg, and bc. but imo and i could be wrong but hill is not a player you want to overpay. unless he demonstrby PHDram - RamsFootballFans.com
im intrigued by hitner from villanova as a future center. hes got size, intelligence and reportedly tested very well athletically.by PHDram - RamsFootballFans.com
or it was just insurance against picking up a quality cb in the draft. i believe they did that in long. long imo will be the #4 cb. do you want to pay the #5 2 million?by PHDram - RamsFootballFans.com
especially, the oline. It just doesnt mesh with kromer's philosophy. alos, ebukam is not a bad player. he just doesnt get anough pressure on the qb. it would be nice to find another spot for him. i thought they may try moving lawler inside but i could see ebukam too. i just think fos deosnt fit this defense. i think hes gone.

e was good enough to keep around at $600. but he now cost 2 million. i think long will be a way better option. and hatfeld who was on ir last year but played decent in 2017 should round out the top 5. i think countess is also gone. also not worth 2 million.by PHDram - RamsFootballFans.com
Someone posted earlier that wade NEVER drafted a nt in the first round. If true how important can it be? It would seem that in 30 years of coaching it would have happened once if it was a vital cog.by PHDram - RamsFootballFans.com
not only NEW fans but new YOUNG fans who will be fans for the next 50 years. so the uniforms will be what what the kids like, not some old farts arguing on a message board.by PHDram - RamsFootballFans.com
