who wants that kind of production making the rest of his teammates feel bad?by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
1. The gameday roster size. Why can't it be 50 or 53? More guys should dress especially with new concussion protocols and Thursday night football. It's ridiculous that only, what is it - 46 guys dress. It's a way for the owners to withhold game checks from back-ups. 2. The wage disparity. Talk about haves and have nots - you have a handful of players on each team making a large percentby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
The cap's going up, contracts will be renovated or terminated, our QB and RB are cheap. We have the money to pay Watkins. It's not an either / or situation.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Woods isn't relevant. Totally different receiver. Sammy is a guy - when he's on - that you have to scheme against. None of the guys the author mentions fit that bill.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Maybe some good sightlines. Shade when it's 102 in September. Real bathrooms. The simple things in lifeby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Can't wait until the Rams are out of that placeby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Those names he lists as replacements don't scare anyone and if you're going to pay someone like Jon Brown 5-7 million, might as well suck it up and pay Sammy more - he has much more upside and is still very young.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
The guy had a great year for us but fell apart at the worst possible time. Not loving hearing about how 'cool it is' to catch passes from Russell Wilson. Know what's cooler - catching passes when you're in the starting lineup (against the 49'ers) and catching / holding onto punts in the biggest game of the year. Thats' cool.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
I know many on this board were on him about not being the 'comeback kid' in games where the team trailed late. Maybe it's something he'll develop - just like Brady.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
and how it's improved a lot in the last 4 years.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
This article lays out some interesting stats about Brady's recent rise as the king of the comeback. It's really just been since 2014.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
If they play by similar rules to NFL - teams could use it to develop QB's and O-lineman that come from College systems that don't prepare them for the NFL. Get them used to audibles, nfl play calling, etc. NFL badly needs a developmental league for QB's for sure.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
That's take away #1 from the Pats / Jags game yesterday. Any coaching staff that thinks you're going to go to Foxboro, score 20 points and 'hang on' is delusional. The Patriots are going to score 24-28 points a game at home. They just are. Jags were sunk when they hit 20 points and thought that was good enough. I think the Vikings were exposed once they were trailing by a couple of scores.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
You are trying to prove causation because a series of events occurred in succession. (It's like saying my dog barks and then the phone rings. My dog must be causing the phone to ring). Ignoring the fact that most of the defense played against the 49'ers and yet they surrendered long drives to the Falcons and couldn't get off the field on 3rd downs. What happened to their edge? Could it mby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Sorry, not buying it. Responsibility lies with Snead and Fisher. They trade up to get him, they gave him a huge new contract. Hopefully this is on Fisher more than Snead. Tavon is and was very limited. Not a precise route runner, not great hands, not physical enough to break tackles on screens. Now he's a turnover liability as a returner. He really should be a guy making veteran's minimum wiby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
They might be able to compete scoring-wise with NE or Pittsburgh. At least keep the SB interesting.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
by the media and fans of every other team in the league. When the Bills clobbered them to open up a season a few years ago. Video-taping sideline signals,deflate-gate, etc. And what does it all amount to? Pats keep winning and winning and going to the Super Bowl. I'll believe it's the end when Brady walks off the field for the last time. Or Bellichek retires. Now they're an implodinby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Even Collinsworth remarked how you want the receiver to come back and jump for the ball. At least go for a DPI.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
What was wrong with the grass they and USC played on all year? Who puts in a new field for the playoffs?by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
I don't think it changed the outcome of the game, but WTH? How hard is it to grow grass in Socal? They said the field was changed recently? Why? And at who's direction? The Rams new stadium can't get here fast enough.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
What about the teams like the Patriots and Steelers who've been sitting for a week? Should they have played an intra-squad scrimmage to stay prepared? Also, the one guy who had the worst game actually played a full game last week - Cooper. Maybe the messed up shoulder he got in that meaningless game affected his ability to hold onto the ball or got him thinking about not getting hit.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Who takes Watkins place in a 3 WR set. Who's the X or the Y if Woods is taking one of those roles? Wouldn't it be better to have 3 quality receivers. One super cheap out of the draft, one a sensibly priced free agent - we can afford to spend a little more on a 3rd. There's thins thing called injuries that happen from time to time. Having only 2 quality receivers is not a great place to beby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Love him as a returner. Not so much as a receiver. He can take Tavon's job at a fraction of the cost.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
I think you need more out of a backup rb. Special teams play + change of pace back. Maybe a pass catching threat. A guy with speed who can bust off a big gain. We don't get any of that with Brown.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
As coach Vermeil once said (on a video) 'there's no easing into a street fight'. We control our own fate. To go to the Super Bowl you have to be NFC champions. That means being better than everyone else. You can't try and lay out the perfect trip to the big game. Who knows how that Eagles will do or the Saints or any of the teams. It's the playoffs anything can and will happen. People onby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
I don't think Brown has much to offer and looks very pedestrian. Granted it was a back-up o-line but he didn't seem to have much burst or ability to break tackles. I'm not really sure what he's supposed to be good at. Dunbar will likely be gone. The USC kid seemed to show some flashes in pre-season maybe he'll step up. Feel like we need to draft a couple mid to late round guys maybby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
The WR unit is seriously lacking in depth. Though he hasn't set the world on fire this year - think Reynolds or Thomas or Austin could every catch one of those 5 yard end zone slants in heavy traffic? Tavon looked terrible as usual. Reynolds is a rookie so he gets a bit of a pass but he really hasn't shown much this year. His game on Sunday was up and down. Thomas shows a few flashes - butby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
That, to me, is the reason for the spotty turnout on gameday. This team in a modern stadium with modern amenities and actual parking would be a very different situation. I know a lot of people are nostalgic for the Coliseum but nostalgia for some means outdated and inconvenient for lots of others.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
He did leave the team stocked with talent. He and Snead worked the drafts very well and for that I am thankful. As a head coach he has never been one of the better ones. He had no feel for offense and couldn't hire or keep (Shurmer) an OC to save his life. His defenses were decent, but not shutdown and prone to stupid penalties and mental errors. He seemed to let certain players get away wby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Suddenly they're a juggernaut that will roll over our team? The game might be close. We might actually win, imagine that?by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
