What is it? What does it look like? Come out and show us what the heck a Hip-Drop Tackle is and EXPLAIN the rule. Bottom line, I think they are talking about when a DB comes up for an open field tackle, then at the last moment the DB ducks his head and takes out a RB/WR's knees. To me, that's a great rule.....I played college football in the 80's and that type of tackle was "taboo" eby oldschoolramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
I have the Rams getting him in RD2 at pick #52!!!!! Go watch his film....He's a big dude that plays with an attitude, but he also has a second gear in the open field after the catch.by oldschoolramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
I have been through numerous mock drafts.....These guys were all around when I picked em' for the Rams....I just choose players thatare 3 before the Rams pick and 3 after the Rams pick....All these players were hanging around when the Rams pick came up. All I know is the Rams have a chance to really come away with some very good players in the first 5 picks....And they have 11 this year!!!by oldschoolramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
It's possible the Rams say "F----- those picks" and are willing to part ways with their RD1 pick at #19 to get Reddick. McVay likes those plug and pay vets......No need to "hope" the rookie can play in the NFL, there's plenty of NFL Film to show you he can. Bottom line, a proven player at a definite need position......Rams may crunch the numbers to see if it makes senseby oldschoolramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Here's my shot......Man, this would be an "INSANE" Draft for our Rams and with 11 picks, this is only 5 of those picks! 1. #19....Laiatua Latu EDGE UCLA......If he's there,, grab him because he won't be in RD2! 2. #52...Xavier Legette WR So.Carolina.....Rams get their version of Deebow Samuel....Go watch film because the Rams WR's would be ustoppable with this addition of toughby oldschoolramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
What a gift Aaron Donald was as a player for the Rams. He was definitely one of the NFL's All-Time greatest players.by oldschoolramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Here's an NFL HC spending time watching film of himself talking to his team to make sure he's getting his point across. Making sure he's hitting on the focus of what he wants from his team. He's all in with "WE NOT ME!" We can all get better, We need each other, We need to self evaluate, We need to be ready, We need to work towards our ultimate goals.....McVay just gets IT!by oldschoolramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
McVay is going to sit Jimmy down once a week and just have him tell EVERYTHING about the 49r's offense...The check at the LOS, verbal calls, Shanny's go to plays....I mean EVERYTHING!by oldschoolramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
I have ALL my Ram Stuff in a white chest at the end of the bed in a guest room. Ram T-Shirts in 3 stacks on shelf in my closet, Ram Hats too. My 3 daughters know that when I'm long gone, they get to split it up for them and the grandkids. Right now, on Ram Game Days, I pull out a flag and fly it, then put Fearsome Foursome autographed picture along side the TV, Dickerson and Donald picturesby oldschoolramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Does the team doctor and medical staff take you through a medical exam? Does the team take you to the field and run you through some drills to check to see if you are injury free? Chalk talk on what they run on defense and where they see you fitting in the plans? Contract and $$$$$? Dinner at Nobu in Malibu? Just wondering what goes on in an NFL Facility with a FA visit.by oldschoolramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
I think the Rams are seriously looking at WR in this Draft.....Why? The strength of this Rams team is the ability to SCORE! McVay and Stafford put points on the board, so you draft and keep building your strength of your team first. I can honestly see Edge, WR coming off the board in the first 2 Rds.....Then, it will be Defense, Defense and more defense.by oldschoolramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Picture perfect day in SoCal for a FA visit!!!!!by oldschoolramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
McVay should have this offense scoring points like a pin ball machine!!!by oldschoolramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
WR should be a target without a doubt in day 2.by oldschoolramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Hearing the stories just makes you realize that Aaron Donald was just born to be a football player...He loved the game! Now, he's off to a new adventure....Enjoy retirement #99 and thank you for all you have done with the Los Angeles Rams!!!!by oldschoolramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
IMHO.....Rams are taking a WR early in RD1 or RD2......McVay is not messing around this year....He knows Stafford's clock is ticking, so he's going to get players out there to make this Rams Offense score points like a pin ball machine!!!!!!by oldschoolramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
My guy is........JD BERTRAND LB Notre Dame. He's exactly the kind of player the Rams will pick....3 year starter, 3 year team tackle leader and a 2-Time Team Captain of the Fighting Irish. Later RDs like late 3rd through 5th.......But if he last that long he'll be a bargain....Covers well in pass and can play all ST's. For me, a few years ago I was saying the same thing about Drue Tranby oldschoolramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
McVay and the Rams gave AD the time to come to a final decision.....Rams probably told him, if you do retire just do us a HUGE favor and announce it before the draft. Another note.....Our Rams score points, so getting the OLINE in order first in FA keeps Stafford upright and moving the ball on offense. Our Defense will be taken care of in the Draft.....DC Shula is going to have a bunch of yby oldschoolramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Exactly......That's the way to go.by oldschoolramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
I'm kind of thinking the Rams go this way since AD has hung em' up........ RD1....Latu....Edge UCLA! RD2....E.Cooper...OLB...Texas A&M. RD3...Legette.....WR.....S.Carolina.....Funny thing though.....Ladd McConkey has McSnead wriiten all over it & if he's still there then he's a Ram IMHO. Here's my 3......Maybe even 3 out of 4 if there is a trade down.by oldschoolramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
I'm feeling the same.....Rams have done a great job in FA......The positions have not really changed for the draft.by oldschoolramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Rams will definitely miss AD, but it's the "Next Man Up League".....So, don't worry because there will be some other player lining up on that DLINE and he will become a trivia question for sure...."Who was the player that started the game after Aaron Donald retired?"by oldschoolramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Every team in the league gets an "EXTRA" Draft Pick in the draft (in a round the NFL decides, but at least no lower than RD2) and the offenders lose a 1rst RD pick.by oldschoolramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Like, the Rams and AD hugged, said good luck and the door is always open for you if you ever want to come back to play football. Just wondering.....Thoughts?by oldschoolramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
AD is a very prideful player.....He takes his job seriously and he loves the work it takes to put into the game of football and the preparation for each and every season. IMHO, he made his mind up years ago, when he can't give the game he loves 100% of him, then it will be time to move on.....That's what he's doing. I also think he's counting himself as a lucky player to walk off the fieldby oldschoolramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
The Rams went against everything they used to do and hired a young 30 year old HC named Sean McVay. That 1 move has turned out to be the BEST DECISION in the history of this franchise. Simply put, I'm enjoying this ride because Kroenke has been the best owner and the Rams are on the NFL MAP of WINNING FRANCHISES! Man, it's great to be a Ram Fan these days!!!!!by oldschoolramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Where's my morning coffee, I gotta wake up and get sharp!!!!by oldschoolramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
In fact, he was going to be our LT.....But, he can't stay healthy....He'll get a new contract and backup the entire OLINE except C.by oldschoolramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
I do know one thing....Our Rams do very well this time of year.by oldschoolramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
This guy is a football player!!!!! This is a HUGE DEAL by the Rams!!!!by oldschoolramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
