What do you make of Staley's recent comments that Floyd is 3rd most important piece in his defense? I don't see them signing JJ and Floyd so my read on the situation is, if Staley feels Floyd is more important, JJ is a goner for sure.by dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com

Quotemerlin First that the other teams won't go after him. They will. Even for a first rounder he is young and a top corner and a ton of teams play quarters.

QuoteRams43 Here’s oldnotdead... Williams will get tendered but that will be a one year expedience to get them into 2022 where there is likely to be a better cap situation.

Quotemax QuoteRams43 Yes, you have been, max. And that’s fine, because Goff definitely has his shortcomings. But his results under McVay have been quite good all things considered.

Quoterampage666 The bucs have deep weapons--good ones in Evans, Godwin, Brown, Gronk. Though I wonder if the high frequency of deep shots is more a function of the lack of a checkdown option. Jones is out of the game in passing situations and Fournette is a bad joke as a receiver and possibly the worst check down option in the league. Does Brady think "I've got a maybe one on one with a stroby dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteSpeed_Kills it’s going to bother me until I see this offense on the field again but I am hopeful McVay adds more runs to the game plan and not just outside zone He could have added runs that require more power blocking like they did against Dallas, Philly, and Buffalo McVay did try some inside zone runs and only one had success. The rest were stuffed just like the outside zone runs.by dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteMalibuRam I'm with you Max, Goff out played Brady with little run support. At the time the Bucs had the number 1 defense. The only like games between the Bucs and Rams.

Quotezn Is it possible that 2 equally football savvy guys watching the same game would count pressures differently? ... See, I said this exact thing last week when I said there was a subjective element to counting pressures and you told me this wasn't the case. Maybe there was just a misunderstanding in that exchange but I'm slightly baffled by the seeming about-face.by dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotespagsbacker it was whether it was worth sacrificing two 1st rd draft picks and the $ it tied up. The greatest benefit of early draft picks is you get a top talent at a discount for 4/5 years.

QuoteRam_Ruler Ravens fans are hip to it like we became. They're complaining that, other then getting turnovers, he's very hit or miss. I was shocked that people preferred Peters to Ramsey honestly.

Peters has his warts for sure and fans will be fans and comby dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com
All of those are good considerations. My point really only pertains to your question about what the Rams offer if they consider him the future starter. And that point is this: the 2022 market for a guy with little tape as a starter - 7 games in 2020 - will not be the same as it is for a longer established starting LT.by dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com
According to the official Combine weigh in numbers Akers was 4 lbs heavier. I believe the Rams have him 6 lbs heavier. Everyone keeps saying that Akers is so much bigger but I'm not seeing any official confirmations of that. Also not sure Akers is faster. Henderson actually clocked slow on his official 40 time in the high 4.4's. Rumor is that he strained his hamstring on that run. Andby dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRampage2K- amazing how they got down there and clocked it with 0:01 second left.........and our new kicker drilled it!!!:sst Goff had everybody running down and controlling things on the run. Barely got it off. But I knew then, we would win.by dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteClassicalwit Arians loves the deep ball. That's never been Tom's game even when he was younger. And here's something no one is talking about. The reason Brady is no longer a Patriot is because he has been collapsing against pressure for the last several seasons - at least two. Father time is catching up to him. If he was still performing as the Brady of old the Pats would have kept hiby dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotezn Quotedzrams He doesn't know for sure that Goff is going to deliver. That's a reasonable take.. Actually I contend it's not a reasonable take. We have seen Goff deliver "in the big moment" several times. We saw it last night. Goff had 5 come-from-behind and/or game-winning-drive games in 2018, and that's including the post-season. He even had 2 in 2019. Across the sameby dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com

And I CANNOT defend going back to the same old tired WR screen not once but twice on 3rd down!

Quotezn Quotedzrams I figured TB would try to do some similar things as Miami. I'm glad to see the players executed this time. Truth is, I don't think Tampa has the secondary to do it the way Miami did it and does it (cause unlike some, we know Miami has gotten to other teams too). Agreed. Due to Miami's secondary, the Rams wouldn't be able to feast on the soft zone like they did with TB.by dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com
