just flinging spagetti at the wall but, what about, when barron comes back, he moves to strong safety, johnson moves to free safety (i think that's where he played in college) and joyner moves to the slot cb (where he's worked before) with shields and nrc on the outside? is that a better line up than hatfield or hill starting as the 3rd cb? too many movements? are we ok at ilb without barroby george_allen - RamsFootballFans.com
if you look at the game logs of marcus peters you'll see he's had some highlights against rivers. if you look at the talib game logs you don't see much, which i read as rivers stayed away from him. should be interesting to see where rivers decides to go....by george_allen - RamsFootballFans.com
10 to 3 at halftime in chicago is no sure loss for the seahawks. i'm hoping the bears knock their dix in the dirt but i don't see that it's happened yet. could be an interesting 2nd half. i'm sure the rams aren't looking past the seahawks when they get to them. go bears !by george_allen - RamsFootballFans.com
thanks for clarifying droopy, i was just a little slow on the uptake. i'll stick with my water over the dam approach and take what we get go forward. i'm happy with cooks so far and i wish sammy well.by george_allen - RamsFootballFans.com
sorry droopy, i'm not following. we gave up what, a 2nd round for watkins and a 1st and something else for cooks. are you saying we should throw in the stats of whatever those other picks are into the comparison? not arguing, just trying to understand.by george_allen - RamsFootballFans.com
if i could script it, i'd have the TEs awake and shine at the dawn of the 2nd trimester of the season for the next 4- 6 games at a near dominate level, resulting in an unprecedented level confusion on the part of opposing defensive coordinators for the remainder of the regular season and throughout the post season as to who to key on against the rams offense. but yes, other than the higbee tby george_allen - RamsFootballFans.com
thanks for the stats. i enjoy stats. my mind frame on watkins is, the ship has sailed. we have a new ship. i hope sammy blows it out this year and gets us our 3rd round compensatory pick, as long as his only sucky game is against the rams. likewise, i hope trumaine johnson lights it up with the jets to get us a 2nd 3rd round compensatory pick. hell, while i'm at it, let's hope coby george_allen - RamsFootballFans.com

Quoteden-the-coach ....Bradford leaves the game with some sort of injury i do not wish bradford any ill will but this is my prediction as well. i watched the entire cards game sunday and sam's accumulated acl injuries look like they've caught up with him. he looked sadly immobile. the rams dline has had a game to knock the rust off, they're coming home, i fear they will unintentionally harmby george_allen - RamsFootballFans.com

Mack would have caused a major upheavel to the cap space management if we signed him. may have costed us goff or marcus peters or both and then some. may i suggest as a very, very poor man's mack - donte fowler jr? i understand the personality and off field issues. but if we keep an eye on him this year and he behaves, could he perform behind our dline?by george_allen - RamsFootballFans.com
absolutely, and happily agree max. i chalked up our game against the vikings as a loss before the season started but having watched the whole game today, i'm thinking our front 3 will muss cousins up. could very well be a win for us.by george_allen - RamsFootballFans.com
yes. i struggle to stay up that late these days. i'm unhappy about the late start but i'm glad the rams are getting primetime. i'm considering a nap as someone else suggested or drinking coffee instead of gin & tonic. i can be in slightly late the next day but not much. it will be a gametime decision...by george_allen - RamsFootballFans.com

they do look good so far. i'll add that the redskins looked pretty good under alex smith and adrian peterson in the 1st half of their game. i watched the niners vikings game and the niners hung tough in minnesota. i didn't like that but at least the niners lost. speaking of ex rams, how about ryan fitzpatrick in the big easy? i thought i read he recently became a grandfrather. did yby george_allen - RamsFootballFans.com
i'm a fan of mjd. i remember when he announced he was coming out for the draft and was hoping the rams might pick him up in the 2nd round. i enjoy watching him on the nfl network but, this smacks of so what? all's well that ends well. as the tweet goes, #paidtheman. the man is happy. marcus peters and jared goff who are next in line are happy. the rest of the teammates are happy nowby george_allen - RamsFootballFans.com

sadly, i agree. i think he's miss cast as an ILB. loved him as a SS, enjoyed watching him there. his cap space in 2019 & 2020 and injury issues make him a candidate to invest elsewhere. not his fault in my opinion.by george_allen - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteAlbaNY_Ram All from overthercap.com The Rams have almost $100M in cap space in 2020, 15th highest in the league - pretty much middle of the pack. They have 26 players under contract. 10 teams have more than 26 guys signed: they all have less cap space than the Rams. 16 teams have fewer than 26 guys signed: 5 of them have less cap space than the Rams. And 5 other teams also have 26 gby george_allen - RamsFootballFans.com
I based my guess of an average 26.4M on Derek Carr's contract hyped up. I thought it was the closest actual contract to what we've seen so far of Goff, and I think i was generous given Goff's sample size: a half a year of poor performance - excusable given a rookie year with a poor team, 2nd year almost as good as Carr's 2nd year but was it because he was under a quarterback whisperer who couldby george_allen - RamsFootballFans.com
