QuoteRams43 My sincere sympathies regarding Carr's injuries, BobCarl. Life ain't fair, is it? He's a talented, gutsy, class act QB. So easy to root for. My son-in-law is taking it pretty hard. the last time my heart dropped like this was when Trent Green had his knee blown out (by a cheap shot) in preseason of 1999 ... and I could never imagine going into the 1999 playoffs without Kurtby BobCarl - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteClassicalwit It looks even worse live: 3-5 yard routes. Sewer slime. I understand the 3-5 yard routes ... with this O-Line a QB needs two hot receivers as there is almost never enough time to hold the ball long enough for a 10 yard route to develop ...... problem is, that none of the Rams receivers are able to play against press coverage.... therefore our receivers are emasculated beforby BobCarl - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteLARams17 Dead money is a bad thing. Dead roster spot is a bad thing. New regime will pick its poison. I expect to hear that the Rams will not be picking up his option for the 5th year of his contract. But year 4 money is spilled milk ... use him as a backup guard next season and let him spend his entire season auditioning for a 2018 vet minimum contract with another team. thby BobCarl - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteGreatRamNTheSky I know what the issue is and its the offensive line is piece of @#$%&. Grits I think you should make your word "issue" plural.

AND he has to know pre-snap who and where theby BobCarl - RamsFootballFans.com

QuotemerlinBut let's look at this after three years. I knew someone was going to say exactly what you said. And your point is valid ... and it isn't. I look at as a Five-year-five-round boxing match.... Goff gets a 4yr guaranteed contract and a fifth year if the team chooses pick up the option. the OP's point is that the Titans won the round one of the match ... and it I doubt thereby BobCarl - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteL.A.Rams I don't want to see another retread. I"m not sold on Gruden, however I'm glad that the Raiders is currently employing a retread...

QuoteRamFanInPA I have NFL DirecTicket, so I get to watch many/most of the teams. I don't get to spend too much time watching each team. But, I will say the following. 1. The Rams VERY rarely seem to create a nice pocket, they are the worst I have seen 2. The Rams time to throw per play has to be last in the NFL 3. The Rams look far and away like the WORST run blocking OL I have seen, theby BobCarl - RamsFootballFans.com

Agreed .... and if my math is correct his total yards in returns, rushing, and receiving is slightly over 900 this season... good chance he will breaby BobCarl - RamsFootballFans.com
