Still don't know the details on how it was calculated, as some reports had it being a 5th instead of a 6th.by RamsFanSince69 - RamsFootballFans.com
I can barely keep up with both of you!!! Many many thanks and appreciation to you both! Cheersby RamsFanSince69 - RamsFootballFans.com
Dotson moved to RG when he came to the Rams. After playing 1000s of snaps as a RG in college. Dotson himself stated that it was his comfort level was better at RG than LG. Maybe it's a subtlety that the normal journalists omit but ESPN used to be the gold standard. Now, it seems like only Jourdan is aware of these small but crucial differences. It may also be why Dotson was more comfortable reby RamsFanSince69 - RamsFootballFans.com

You're right, I remember there was speculation that Baker would get a better pick (5th instead of 6th) right after the season ended, due to the decent season he had. But all of the fan sites (turfshowtimes, ramswire, etc) since then had us getting 3 6ths and no 5th or 7th, because the fan sites always forget that Morris' pick was an addition to the max 4 comp picks. So my expectations were thatby RamsFanSince69 - RamsFootballFans.com
Usually I avoid Mr Stuter like the plague but I just love Baldy's stuff. (You gotta click on the link to see Baldy's video) Rookles who are selected in Round 3 of any NFL Draft are considered a success if they manage to earn a solid rotational role with their team. So the incredible performance of rookie nose tackle Kobie Turner was nothing short of miraculous. He was robbed of the NFL's Dby RamsFanSince69 - RamsFootballFans.com

Thank you 68! Puka ran a 20.06 and was the only one over 20 mph in 2023 so Coleman was moving fast. Coleman is also 6 3 3/4 and 213 lbs so he's built like a TE. Keon Coleman, Florida State (6-foot-3 1⁄4, 213 pounds) The former Michigan State product may have turned some fans away with his 4.61 40-yard dash—the second slowest time of the wide receiver group—but for a team like the Lions thatby RamsFanSince69 - RamsFootballFans.com
I say that we need 2 starters - Kendrick was a dud, not only for his poor coverage (and lack of speed) but also for his penchant to draw penalties, especially around the goal line. Kobie Durant was a disappointment and Spon faded as the season went on. Personally. I'd like to see D Williams re-signed but he's getting older and is small. The other FA CBs don't strike me as shutdown CBs so we maby RamsFanSince69 - RamsFootballFans.com
It sounds like they may want to lowball Alaric as 3M would be a good backup salary. So will the Rams then target and sign Tyron Smith? AJ would be a heck of a backup as he would fill Noteboom's super-sub OL skills better than NB. I think AJ is better than Boom at G or T.by RamsFanSince69 - RamsFootballFans.com
So glad to see this! The extra cash for this year hopefully went towards this. Regardless it's celebration time !!! McSnead rocks !!!! :partytimeby RamsFanSince69 - RamsFootballFans.com
Thank you! Was interesting to see it quoted for 2023, as well as the successes for other WRs there. Certainly Puka ran his fair share of crossing routes this yearby RamsFanSince69 - RamsFootballFans.com
Grisak also missed the fact that Coach Hendy is no longer on the Rams, and AD used to regularly text him, even in the offseason. Hoping that Shula and Giff Smith / AC Carter can pick up the slack. How big of a factor will not having his fave DL coach be to Aaron Donald?by RamsFanSince69 - RamsFootballFans.com
Hey Aylo - Speaking of the gauntlet, I also saw that Puka had the fastest gauntlet speed in 2023. Have you ever found any gauntlet times for 2024? I did a rudimentary search and came up empty.by RamsFanSince69 - RamsFootballFans.com
The 27-year-old has a projected market value of $16.4M per season, according to Spotrac. Slotting Dotson in at left guard would allow the Panthers to move Brady Christensen back outside and serve as a swing tackle. Ummm... apparently they didn't see the history of Dotson and his less-than-successful foray at LG with the Steelers! I'm certain that Dotson won't want to switch back.by RamsFanSince69 - RamsFootballFans.com
I don't think Kupp is done, but he and Stafford were out of sync all year. To me that means that Cooper couldn't get to the position he needed to be when Stafford was throwing. And that's concerning. Also did not see the YAC that Kupp has consistently delivered up until 2023. On the plus side I saw Kupp and Nacua training in Kupp's garage a few weeks ago. So we'll see what happens in 2024.by RamsFanSince69 - RamsFootballFans.com
Because he was released he does not count in the comp pick equation, so Les should be all over this!by RamsFanSince69 - RamsFootballFans.com
Thanks Pool - I read voraciously everything that you and Aylo post, so your endorsement speaks volumes to me. All depends on his medical, but it would be a major coup for Latu to fall to the Rams. Still need a CB of course.by RamsFanSince69 - RamsFootballFans.com
This was an excellent writeup that I found fascinating. Latu's injury history created a monster in his dedication to his craft, all the while he couldn't do what he loved. Highly recommend reading despite being behind a paywall. I suspect much of her writing will be shared on TFT and Ramswire soon.

Exactly - and the fact that Caley was not part of McVay's history speaks volumes too. So he is establishing his own coaching tree with those joining his team, recognizing that they have still more to learn after one year (ie don't copy Staley), and sticking around at least for another year. I was also impressed that McVay did not bring back Staley. That spoke volumes too.by RamsFanSince69 - RamsFootballFans.com
Jourdan Rodrigue @JourdanRodrigue · Feb 20 Rams TEs coach Nick Caley will add pass game coordinator duties to his role this year. I was told by a couple team and league people that he was an important retention by Sean McVay. Caley drew outside interest this offseason and McVay wants to keep developing him in-house.by RamsFanSince69 - RamsFootballFans.com
Caley was offered the OC job at the Pats but he turned it down to continue working with McVay. McVay then promoted him to passing game coordinator. Pretty cool.by RamsFanSince69 - RamsFootballFans.com
Jourdan Rodrigue @JourdanRodrigue · 2h @peter_king’s writing was what let me into football - a sport I knew I loved and just wanted to know everything about. He pulled back the curtain. When I finally got to meet him several years ago I was blown away by his enthusiasm, support and willingness to mentor and kindness.by RamsFanSince69 - RamsFootballFans.com
Sad to see him go. I have had my differences with Peter King over the years but grew to love his Monday Morning column. He will be missed, but I totally get how he needs to retire (and especially with his 2 brothers and Dad all died by 64). Time to enjoy retirement (sounds good to me too - looking at the Philippines for me.)by RamsFanSince69 - RamsFootballFans.com
