In short, he doesn't get much separation and must not run great routes because it seems like Goff doesn't trust him. It really stood out when Kupp got hurt--we went from a guys who was always open to a guys who rarely was.by badgerdms - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteBigGame81 I believe 11 out of the 22 starters from the Super Bowl are no longer with the team. I watched the replay of the Cowboys game from 2017. It was amazing how many of those guys were not on the team in 2018 for the Suoer Bowl run a year later. Sammy Watkins, Tavon Austin, Jamon Brown, Robert Quinn, Conner Barwin, Alec Ogletree, Kavon Webster, Trumaine Johnson, Those are just theby badgerdms - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotedzrams Quotespagsbacker Fisher & Snead admitted their mistake. Hmmm, you got a link for that? I remember there being a lot of speculation that they were targeting the LBs but I don't recall that being confirmed by the Rams. At any rate, assuming that's true, Snead has openly talked about learning from past mistakes. He mentioned the GRob mistake by name, he alluded to other mistakeby badgerdms - RamsFootballFans.com

By and large all bad picks. All out of the NFL in about 5 years or less. That's essentially what caused the downfall of the Rams--collecting a ton of draft capital from the Eric Dickerson trade and then blowing it with bad pick after bad pick.by badgerdms - RamsFootballFans.com
ESPN is showing the 1989 draft tonight and it's pretty amusing to see how much more of a production it is now, and how little knowledge everybody actually had then. Chris Berman and Tom Jackson keep referring to the head coaches like they are making the decisions on players. No internet. It's still at the Marriott Marquis. It was Rozelle's last draft. Beano Cook is actually up in the raftersby badgerdms - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotepromomasterj Probably with his moron friends Demoff and McVay. Only the Rams bungle free agency! :bangheadby badgerdms - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteJamesJM and it has nothing to do with you, or anyone else, wanting McVay gone.... or not... and I'm sure most agree "NOT". This is one MAJOR rebuild.... shuffling of personnel, (although it seems some are returning). What we ARE going to lose is continuity. And what that means, for me anyway, is agreement with Speed... this ain't going to come together in one off season... uby badgerdms - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteIowaRam but Phillips and Bones are gone along with players who were loyal to those coaches Both were Sean's decision. He's a very young coach who just finished his third year and came in wanting a veteran presence on the defense and the stability that Bones brought to the table.

QuoteIowaRam both logos were designed around that horn , I bet the helmet is the same way “Once you see the uniforms in the stadium with the way we’re utilizing our designs and the "identity system" as a whole, I think you’ll really start to see how and why we’ve done everything.” I think the horns in the middle of your diagram are what goes on the helmets--and I'm fine with thby badgerdms - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotestlramz The Rams just wanted to eat 20 mil in dead money cuz they didn't like his attitude? If you couldn't see the difference between vintage TG and the shell from last year, I'd be surprised. And I'm not talking about when there was @#$%& blocking. I'm talking about when there were seams and holes or open space. His explosion was gone... +1.

Someone they can draft late or maybe even sign as a FA is Chris Orr from Wisconsin. He's been hurt a lot, which has really hurt his draft stock, but I suspect he can play inside and still get better with reps. Really good athlete, fast and makes plays. Needs a little more time working on recognition.by badgerdms - RamsFootballFans.com
That's just not the case. Historically, he has been one of the better cap managers in the NFL. They made a collective decision to go all in after year one of McVay and it almost worked. That, and they have been a little unlucky with the Gurley situation. If they are cash strapped for a year, so be it--he's returning the cap to something he can maintain.by badgerdms - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotetonyde Brandin Cooks has been traded twice in his career (Saints to Patriots, Patriots to Rams), with a first-round pick included on each occasion. The 7th-year WR could be traded again this offseason, and it likely wouldn't take a 1. He knows....

QuoteLMU93 Pead was MVP of the Senior Bowl that year and he was largely considered a top 50 prospect. But that Draft I really thought they should have taken: (33) OL Cordly Glenn (39) WR Alshon Jeffrey (45) LB Lavonte David Everyone always loves to claim Alshon Jeffrey was their pick, amazing no one ever fesses up to wanting Stephen Hill :-).

QuoteDeadpool On the field, he is fun to watch. I like him. Problem is, he was found not guilty of sexually assaulting 2 women after they claimed they were too drunk to consent. Anyhow, found not guilty and then reinstated to Wisconsin. I personally don't have an issue with him, but I'm sure others will. And that is totally fine by me. I guess what I would say about him is if you want a WR,by badgerdms - RamsFootballFans.com
He was at UW for a year before going back to Georgia. I think he's a good RB coach but his real college football value was as a recruiter. While I'm sure he knows Gurley, he was never actually coaching at Georgia while Gurley was there.by badgerdms - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteJamesJM I have no idea what the situation is, or what brought it about... which includes the extent a physical damage.

I think the absolute best case scenario is to hope that Biadasz somehow falls to us, but I hate what we have done to ourselves with the Cooks/Gurley contracts and constant trading away of our draft capital. Everyone knows we need to fix the offensive line first, but our inside linebackers have been dubious as well. Now we "have" to address theses needs with limited picks, when what weby badgerdms - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotejemach And they aren't starting at LT...not this year. Somebody(s)!is going to be a guard...either Evans or Edwards...or an UDFA....or more. My guess is Edwards, he's athletic and smart enough to move around and (after watching him quite a bit at UW) I think he can play inside.

Just today I was taking some notes from a band practice we had last night.... changes we made, and I couldn't remember what songs we practiced much less the changes we decided to put into place.

Quotespagsbacker their kind of player. Les has always preferred the "athlete" over the "try hard" guy. Sometimes it works, sometimes it does not, but I do not think that is what they look for. Les prefers guys that get knocked sometimes unfairly, and then they pick him up at a discount. Winovich sure is the Herd's kind of guy though, very popular here.
