Quotemax <snipped> I heard Mychal Thompson say yesterday that LA's current priority list for this weekend is: Dodgers, Lakers, USC, and then the Rams. He didn't think there would be a lot of interest in the Rams game on Sunday. I have a hard time believing more people in LA would be interested in a Lakers preseason game than Rams-Seahawks. But how should I know? Yep. That sounds aboby ramBRO - RamsFootballFans.com
Well, they better put some W's on their record quick, or else that home game against the Raiders is going to look bad...really bad.by ramBRO - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteJYB Quotedzrams His decoy value is making an impact. He’s an expensive decoy but it’s impact nonetheless. But it's not as though others on the team couldn't serve that role capably, at a far lower cap hit. I agree, but... Even though he didn't say this outright, I got the impression that Ryan was saying that league DC's seem to acknowledge that Austin is clearly a home run threat whenby ramBRO - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteSaguaro But if you wait until that question is answered with a YES!, then the price goes up. Just sayin'. What IS clear is that the injury/surgery did not appear to erode his ability. Yeah...I get it. But given his injury history, I'm sure that there must be a number (of games he has to be available to play) that must be in your mind as well to make you feel comfortable.

Quoteoldschoolramfan <snipped> What a breath of fresh air to see that. Yeah...I'm not so sure about that. I get it that McVay will need time to mature into his role as a HC, but the defense HE IS ULTIMATELY RESPONSIBLE FOR was in full meltdown last night - merely a few days after it got gashed by the Redskins. In time (likely after this season), he'll become better at his time-by ramBRO - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRams43 <snipped> Tavon. Ummmmm... I'm gonna take the high road here. But I still think that he's a man without a position. Just caught Rob Ryan on Colin Cowherd's show. He brought up an interesting tidbit about the on-field relationship involving Austin and Rams' rushing attack that I hadn't really put much thought into. He said that, in Buffalo, one of the main reasons thatby ramBRO - RamsFootballFans.com
The premise behind trading for Watkins was that the Rams desperately needed a WR who could stretch the field and give Goff a deep target. Yet, I don't recall Watkins being targeted for anything deep in the first two games. Would just think that he'd be good for a deep target at least once a half.by ramBRO - RamsFootballFans.com
As I'm travelling from Santa Clarita, I posed the exact same question to posters who went to the Colt's game. As it relates to the Metro, my concern is with the crush of humanity post-game with everyone trying to leave at the same time. I researched the issue but could only find online references to last season's Seahawk game when over 90K fans showed up. Getting onto the Metro post-game forby ramBRO - RamsFootballFans.com

So, the family and I are headed to the Washington game on Sunday, but we're undecided on transportation. Of course I can drive, but I'm leery of having to pay $75 to park 3 miles away from the stadium (only somewhat joking there). I'm coming from Santa Clarita and I know that the Metro can get me there with no problem. But leaving (with everyone else) might be an issue. No, there likely wonby ramBRO - RamsFootballFans.com
Kevin White left the Bears/Falcons game today with a shoulder injury. It's feared he may have broken his clavicle and will be lost for a significant amount of time (if not the season). They've already lost Meredith to an ACL and Markus Wheaton was inactive. As much as McVay says that he has a package for TA, the fact of the matter is that he has no role on this team.

Not sure. Looked around 55 - 60K. Last season's stinker really depressed things. But if they can play .500 ball or better (while averaging at least 21 ppg), that will change. I already bought my tix for next week.by ramBRO - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRFIP NOT! "Lamarcus Joyner, on Aaron Donald's return: "I even called my wife and told her he was back. I was excited."

QuoteHollywood Ram I think Donald is back for he week one paycheck. Folks can credit McVay all they want, but it really was about the $$$. Won't disagree with this. However...

QuoteHollywood Ram Except in your example if you win Powerball and get the $30MM over 30 years you get $1M per year. If you choose the lump sum you only get $15MM up front and give up half your winnings. That is not what AD is asking, he wants his 5 yr $100MM+, with much of it up front. He is not taking the NPV of the $20MM per year over five years. . Yes, I understand this. The only reby ramBRO - RamsFootballFans.com
Was listening Herm Edwards this morning on the radio and the hosts asked him about the Donald situation. He speculated that the negotiations likely centered on the guaranteed money issue. He indicated frustration amongst NFL players over the FA contracts recently signed by NBA players and how their contracts are fully guaranteed. Speculated that Donald wants as much of his $ guaranteed (and upby ramBRO - RamsFootballFans.com

Quotezn QuoteramBRO Not disputing any of this - just your assertion that the amount of money Donald is paid above the next highest defender is legitimately debateable. And the actual dollars, IMO, is irrelevant. <snipped> Is it fair to say, hey, we offered you 20 M, that's more than Suh, you should just accept it or be considered greedy?

Quote21Dog Quotejemach A&M coaches blew this and Rosen should have been intercepted numerous times. . He's made some great throws but he was very fortunate a couple down the stretch weren't INTs, especially one of the TD passes. Won't dispute any of that.

For the 1st time in my league's 12+ year history, I received the #1 overall pic. I used it to select Arizona's David Johnson. It's a 12-team PPR league with a snake draft.

I caught Vinny B on my way in to LA this morning. Without citing any sources, he believes that Donald will report in time to be active for the 1st game.

He believes that Donald will forgo some of the other stuff (unspecified) that he wants because heby ramBRO - RamsFootballFans.com
