in no way shape or form can i see marqui christian getting cut. in my eyes he's been a solid rotational backup guy. and there's no one on the roster that can replace him, nick scott included. lawler is questionable also, unless durham has shown something, which i have not read yet.by george_allen - RamsFootballFans.com

the patriots and broncos might be about right if it was their previous helmets. actually liked the patriot hiking the football. i think the browns, lions and packers should be higher. the packers is simply iconic. i do like the raiders helmet. as a homer, i'd go with the current rams helmet as #1 but not bothered that only 1 other helmet was ranked above. but if we're putting up the bby george_allen - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteLMU93 It tries to gauge fans "passion" based on merchandise sales, Twitter followers,etc. Utter nonsense. Calling the Browns 27th, after all that fan base has endured, and Chiefs 31st while giving the Patriots 3rd and 49ers 9th is senseless.

QuoteOhiorams before i watched the youtubes of this guy, and going back before the draft, i thought he made a lot of sense. even if the rams took a dt in the 1st round. given we're looking at a 2nd year guy and a rookie holding down the fort at nt, i think peko makes all the more sense now. that's one stout position. as much as we maybe hearing good reports about gaines and sjd they'reby george_allen - RamsFootballFans.com

to me what happened is woods has out performed his own history since signing with our rams. was that because of woods, watkins, cooks, goff, gurley or mcvay? probably all of the above. woods average about 50 catches and about 600 yards per year during his 4 seasons in buffalo. does that warrant paying the guy #1 wr 2nd contract money at the time of the renewal. I don't think so. seems theby george_allen - RamsFootballFans.com
looks to me like the kid has been humbled. a good thing. having a baby or two when you're young yourself can put you in a pressure cooker. plus being picked so high in the 1st round. i know fowler had a fighting issue in preseason with the jags. i think he's past that. he seems to be tying a lot of hope to the reception his rams teammates have given him.by george_allen - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotekw13 Gurley's done. He's basically the next version of Ricky Williams. Great back who will basically disappear over the next 3 or 4 years and play sparingly. ouch. done? that was harsh. i'm sure you're with me on hoping you're wrong about the 1st comment. however, you're last comment may work out just fine for the rams from a salary cap perspective. if gurley produces at a deby george_allen - RamsFootballFans.com
thanks again. that's actually how i've been going about it but i underestimated the havenstein and gurley contracts. i was also coming up a 2 or 3m short on goff. was starting to think the method was off. guess i can attribute my shortfall on gurley to that best of bred (mack, miller, donald) factor. don't think that explains havenstein though. the 2nd contract thing explains goff for mby george_allen - RamsFootballFans.com
much appreciated zn. logically and intuitively, this makes sense to me. would you happen to have the same info on 2nd contracts for successful cb's (peters) and edge rushers (fowler)? just wondering what they'd cost to keep if they pan out during 2019. at the current course and speed i can't see how goff does not get paid rack rate when it's time to re-up. and i do not think that, in andby george_allen - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteRinconRam Interesting. I've always wondered how this works when a player moves from one team to another before both teams meet. I would think that most teams would compel a "new employee" to do everything in his abilities to help his new team win, including sharing strategies, patterns, etc. about his former team.

QuoteramBRO I have a question for you now: Would you feel satisfied if either Suh or Matthews balled out from September through November, but then "coasted" (your word) in December, January, and February? absolutely not. i would be perfectly happy if matthews shined bright late regular season through the post season and was nothing special september through november though. andby george_allen - RamsFootballFans.com

... this coming year and showed up in the post season ala suh, would you think he was a free agent failure? if he did it again in 2020 would it make it worse or better? personally, i don't think mr matthews is a coaster. i expect him to play up to whatever his health allows him to because that's his dna. i'm expecting more from matthews than suh but we'll see. suh costed what, $14m for 1by george_allen - RamsFootballFans.com
as much as i'm thrilled with the Gaines pick, it's a long 1st year in the nfl. and i'd say this if the rams took any of the high profile dt's in the 1st round : a vet tag team partner at nt to couple with the draft pick is necessary to spell the draft pick and to mentor him. given what seems to be the available cap space i'm thinking Peko or Shelton. i can't see how Suh could be affordable.by george_allen - RamsFootballFans.com
dh scored a td over 10% of the time he touched the ball. that's crazy. 1 out of every ten times he touches the ball he scores a touchdown. i struggle to get my head around that. i watched him against ucf in the championship, didn't tune in to watch him but he jumped off the screen. very happy with the pick. hope todd is ok. i jumped out of my seat when we picked him.by george_allen - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteSpeed_Kills And rightfully so and that the RB market is very depressed and that just doesn’t seem right. The Rams without a healthy Gurley the last two years or CJ to bail them out in the end of last year are not a playoff or SB team CJ literally bailed the Rams offense out.
