QuoteGreatRamNTheSky I didn't know he was a free agent. Good solid player. Always liked him as a player. Grits His full abilities are/were never going to be exploited playing for Buffalo and their QB's. He's a precise route-runner who is actually able to catch the ball when it's thrown his way. He's the type of WR Goff can build trust with. I believe that his stats have been depreby ramBRO - RamsFootballFans.com
I definitely see the DJ angle with his prior ties to McVay and potentially returning to SoCal. However, there are a couple of things that come to mind with respect to him and you've already mentioned one: 1) IMO, Jackson is sorta like Britt in that he's a one-trick pony in terms of running the post routes. However, Britt has shown some additional flexibility in being able to use his biggerby ramBRO - RamsFootballFans.com
Agreed. But I don't see the FA pool for either of those positions being especially deep. With that said, I could see the Rams looking to sign: 1) LT Matt Kalil to a "prove it" type of deal; 2) WR Robert Woods; 3) FA Center; 4) WR Michael Floyd on a "prove it" deal (pending any league action for his recent DUI arrest). After that, it's BPA in the draft.by ramBRO - RamsFootballFans.com
You've just hired a brand new HC to develop your franchise QB. Now you've got to protect him. GRob can't do it and I don't believe that Saffold can do it for an entire season.by ramBRO - RamsFootballFans.com

That was a nearly 25-minute interview where the current GM wasn't referenced. I'm unsure how insightful an interview can be about finding the right "leader" for your team without mentioning your current GM or how the COO feels the relationship between a GM and HC should function. Not saying that there isn't a plan, but I didn't really sense one either from that interview.by ramBRO - RamsFootballFans.com
I used to. I remember my brother laughing at me when I started to cry. I punched him which didn't go over very well with my mom. B) But as a USC fan, whenever I see the Rose Bowl now, it reminds me of the 2006 game against Vince Young and the Texas Longhorns. And that's taking Monday's game into account. Just can't shake it.by ramBRO - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotealyoshamucci He's climbed the highest on my radar of any player honestly. His hands are huge and he plays fearlessly. Looks like the light came on for him this year. I am likely going ot have him wind up with close to a 3rd round grade ... if he runs in the 4.4s it could be higher. I doubt that he's gonna run that fast, but wouldn't be surprised if he's as fast as (if not a littleby ramBRO - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotelaram QuoteI would pencil in Saffold at LT for 2017 And where is your depth at LT when Saffold invariably goes down? Yeah, I considered moving Saffold to LT myself as a stopgap, but quickly discounted it due to injury history. Instead, I propose going after Matt Kalil as a stopgap (thinking 2-year deal) for LT and keeping Saffold around as a G/swing T. We can see what Robinson haby ramBRO - RamsFootballFans.com

Didn't we give up, like...a 4th-rounder for him in the Supplemental Draft? So much for that, huh?by ramBRO - RamsFootballFans.com
What do you suppose his market will be? I also believe in looking to FA to bolster the OL, but have proposed going after LT Matt Kalil to better protect Goff's blindside. But it's clear that we could use an upgrade at the C position as well. Just not sure where we're gonna be with the salary cap.by ramBRO - RamsFootballFans.com
GRob returning at LT is a non-starter for me as is Saffold with his injury history. Kalil has had some recent issues with injuries as well, but he's at least shown some competency at the position and is still relatively young. I read an article recently indicating that he'd like to return to the Vikings, but I'm unsure if that was for PR or not. I'd love to see if he'd take a two-year deal toby ramBRO - RamsFootballFans.com

At least for next week's game. Whereas Saffold and a couple of the guards have shown the ability to play multiple positions along the line during any particular game, Robinson has had a helluva time just grasping his responsibilities at his sole position. If the team is contemplating a move to guard for GRob, I believe for his sake and Goff's, that switch should occur in OTA's where the new coby ramBRO - RamsFootballFans.com

More than his relationships with QB's, I'd like to know how Gruden's teams were discipline-wise - in particular, with respect to penalties. He's been off the field for a while and I can't remember.

You'll get no argument from me with respect to the coaching issue. IF Havs isn't injured, then he's clearly regressed this season as opposing D-linemen are simply running right by him. But then again, he was never considered the most athletic O-lineman out there. Regardless, I still believe that a linemen like Battle deserves an opportunity to get something on tape for the next coaching staffby ramBRO - RamsFootballFans.com

I'm not opposed to Lovie as he's demonstrated the ability to run a team. However, with the steep investment we made with drafting Goff, I'd prefer a head coach with an offensive background. Again, I wouldn't rule him out, but I'd need to feel comfortable knowing who he'd bring in to run the offense.by ramBRO - RamsFootballFans.com

Then the Rams will need to adequately protect his blindside with someone other than Robinson (who continues to hurt the team with mental errors).
