I'm really hopeful that he gets a chance to play and that he proves himself to be a stud. I know little about him other than he's generally good while he's played at the pro level. Any thoughts?by Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com
I am still not sold on us being a strong team at this point. But my optimism is higher than it was last week. I really respect and appreciate seeing what McVay et. al. have done so far this season.by Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com
Winner winner! Chicken dinner!by Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com
Thank you Mr. Heyward for more than a feeling: Once upon a time Once when you were SB champs I remember glory Reflected in your story I know where you are Yes I'm thinking about you Now is the time laughing in my wildest dreams I am thoroughly pleased, my anxiety eased, my hopes teased, the Seahawks seized! I'll have more to say, but not today.by Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com
I think Seattle is better than advertised and we're too green still.by Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com
Journalists have to hype somebody to get clicks. Blah blah blah. It's been that way for a very long time. I've seen numerous college QBs look like Superman only to be Mr. Duds a couple years after their entry into the NFL. In the meantime where were all these laughable experts on Purdy? Or Brady in a previous season? You need to see a solid and consistent body of work against challengingby Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com
Joe, is that you making this video. Nice job. I got one question, who the hell was the coach who waived Snow? I didn't know he got waved. That seems like a terrible injustice.by Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com
KW, I'm the resident pessimist and you ain't Coy Bacon. This season is not going to be so bad. I'm confident other teams, like AZ, are going to have it worse. We're going to be okay. Give our FO some of the benefit of the doubt because they earned it. We'll have a losing season but the audacity of hope is strong with me. The Rams will be back, and they'll be other team's worst nightmare.by Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com
Nothing I could have come up with could have topped that response Shecky, that was brilliant. I got a good laugh from KW's post, but your response was Hershey's Dark Chocolate syrup on ice cream. My compliments.by Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com
I've been generally encouraged by what I've seen our FO do this off season. Biggest mistakes: letting Gaines / and or A'Shawn, and our Kickers go, and not keeping a big power RB. Biggest good moves: Drafting Avila. There's probably more but it is too early in the morning for my brain to remember. I also think there are other teams that have bigger problems than us.

Not until he passes me the biscuits.by Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com
Crom, I read JY's posts on the abilities and ratings of this new OLineman and I thought that he sounded good enough to have a shot to stick. Maybe he'll be good enough to be on our team a few years or more. But, if he's just dumped next year then yeah, I'd agree with you. No reason to trade that high of a pick for a medium guy as a rental.by Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com
I think that's both decent of him to give them a head start, and smart for his org because it'll be easier on everyone around.by Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com
Thanks for going to the trouble to post all the additional details you do on the various players and football strats. It's very informative and gives us a good perspective.by Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com
My goodness, give our FO a little credit. They took a mediocre team under Fisher and in what, 5 years made 2 SB appearances! And you want to mock them? Look, I'm pessimistic, especially about this season, but I'm also confident in our FO. The sky isn't falling.by Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com
For all you doubters out there isn't this proof that our FO sees the problem and is working to correct it? I think this is another good move for our team. I continue to be very confident in McVay. He's still learning and improving and maturing.by Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com
I only saw snippets of the game but what I saw we were bad. However, I shrugged and didn't really care because this is preseason. I have a friend from Minn. who told me of the times their team would win all four preseason games and their hopes would soar, only to crash down during the season. It works both ways. Our Rams will be fine. We have a great coach and one of the best orgs in the bby Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com
You know, that's really funny! But I don't feel sorry for the 9er fans.by Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com
Roman Gabriel. My goodness what a lame article. Most people, including many 9er fans thought the trade for Lance was incredibly stupid. Everybody carried water for him during preseason. He was mediocre in his debut and subsequent play. I think he would be a fine #3 QB someplace but suggesting he be our QB of the future! That would be doubling down on stupid.by Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com
In the pendulum swing to cost cutting they erred and lost out on Gaines. I think they should have kept A-Shawn Rob. (DT) as well. It's no mystery that the trenches control a lot of the game, and those two guys would not have been that expensive.by Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com
43, lol, nobody who knows you is going to call you a chicken little. Your glasses are rosy. It's refreshing to read your troubled, critical posts; you are thoughtful, accurate, and real. Just don't take all this preseason stuff so serious. Don't let the sound of your own wheels drive you crazy.by Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com
Look, you ain't Paul Simon and these Rams ain't Cecilia. This is preseason. Even my emotions don't get moved one way or another much. Football fans are notorious for believing their rookies are going to tear other teams up. Even the Temptations knew enough to question Just My Imagination. This is not the time to be doubtful, dispirited, or depressed. That time is coming... :cryby Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com
Totally agree. All the woulda, coulda, shoulda, what ifs, points, comments, counterpoints, etc. are irrelevant. Our leadership sold out to win to the best of their ability. It worked and the rest is history. It is so difficult to win that ring, you gotta have a hard core, sold out attitude to really be smart and strive to win, (which Detroit doesn't have), and go for it when you haveby Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com
ESPN went to the dogs a long time ago. They're not worth reading IMHO.by Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com
I sure appreciate it. I've saved the info to learn and have for future ref. It's so nice to be able to understand all the terminology. Thank you for going to the trouble. Blessings,by Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com
I'm glad that he's big and a proven dependable RB. I think he's going to do pretty good for us during this difficult year. Great signing.by Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com
Yeah, Stan is a great owner. I'm impressed at how well he's done in so many diff. sports. We're fortunate to have him as the Rams' owner.by Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com
I think that with Kupp, Jefferson, and Skow, we're good enough. Jeff. and Skow. have both shown themselves as being able to make some tough catches. Earlier I had doubts about Skow but the more I watched him the more confident I felt in him. I'm more worried about the O and D lines, and the DBs.by Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com
Did he mean league wide or just for the Rams? 1) Isn't the RB trend going towards less running? Some of the premium RBs are now being stiffed relatively. I believe McVay has minimized the RB and running value overall but sometime two or so years ago he began to value it a little more. Just not where I think it should be. 2) McVay's recent moves do NOT tell me that now he increasing hisby Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com
Yes, letting him go for just a million or so was a bad mistake. I thought he contributed a lot more than he got credit for. It seems like the Rams FO gets on a swinging pendulum and this time it swung to far into the "cost cutting" mentality.by Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com
