We found out Joyner wasn't worth it to us....same with tru....but, the Rams tagged them anyway as a stopgap/bridge player until we can draft better. I see us NOT trading our high picks anymore unless we get a real bargain on a good proven player. Fowler and/or we draft an EDGE or CB at #31. I'd like to sign CJ Mosley(cut Barron) and ABarr as a cheap unexplored EDGE rusher which I think theby SunTzu_vs_Camus - RamsFootballFans.com
I'd also sign Barr as EDGE rusher as I think he'd be a great OLB and rush the passer really well. Barr wasn't used as an outside rusher that much since college....but he's a great EDGE rusher potential. imo adds good speed too...and with Mosley in the middle calling the defense...it'd help our run defense immensely. Brockers to NT....(Jonathan-Day is reserve) JFM to LDE.......(Tanzel/Westby SunTzu_vs_Camus - RamsFootballFans.com
I think he gets tagged and we do a "Joyner/Tru" ( a 1yr kinda prove-it deal). Edge is our weakest link...and I think we sign a Vet FA at EDGE along with tagging Fowler....keeping Ebukam the backup at both sides. EDGE is such a huge whole for us if we lose Suh or trade his salary for an EDGE vet. .....maybe a player like Ferguson-LATech at #31- if we don't trade down.by SunTzu_vs_Camus - RamsFootballFans.com

not with these holes on defense and even OL. No skill position needed this year. imo ..just defense & OL.by SunTzu_vs_Camus - RamsFootballFans.com
it depends on how the helmet is incorporated into the overall scheme...but that'd be kinda sweet to have pebbled/knobby Horns with a drop shadow... goin fat to slim as the horn winds it's curl down the helmet. very curious!!!by SunTzu_vs_Camus - RamsFootballFans.com
I think pain is the issue until I hear TG gets a procedure...to clean up somethin. TG may have no structural issues...but the pain is what made running uncomfortable. TG said it happened in the 1st game of the season.iirc Then, TG played pretty good all year until the last few games under such pain. Unless, they do an investigative scope to see if the scans missed somethin - which can happeby SunTzu_vs_Camus - RamsFootballFans.com

McVay will come back with a bigger chip on his shoulder than from the Atlanta play-off loss 2yrs ago... and look what happened!! lol ;) My thots are getting the defense to perform better earlier in the year and with new talent at maybe 2-3 new spots...that's the challenge. imoby SunTzu_vs_Camus - RamsFootballFans.com

I mean, I do not like Mannion's style of play...not sure about Perez either and think the Rams woulda kept Perez if they wanted to. I think they liked Perez as a person and his story...but to me anyway, he's a little slow with his eyes and body...and his throwing strength doesn't help offset that. He's a little too slow physically and maybe seeing the field based on my own opinion. But kurt Waby SunTzu_vs_Camus - RamsFootballFans.com
with those stats...so I sure hope they get someone else...just someone with the same usage of players as Wade's 3-4 style so we don't have too much changeover on defense and can build on the past experience. We have that with McVay...I just want the same for the defense. Like the Steelers or Pats that have longtime coaches that & schemes that players know cuz they never change - sans yearlby SunTzu_vs_Camus - RamsFootballFans.com
He might not have the vision that CJ has and I'd like to have CJ, heck and MBrown as our back-ups if the price is low enough. Brown should get very little interest...and CJ would get minimal interest based on his great play in the last 4 games. However, he was on 3 teams last year that never even gave him a chance and cut him. RBs are still very ubiquitous and cheap. I think there's a chanceby SunTzu_vs_Camus - RamsFootballFans.com
What Everett has shown is that he has very god hans and is a brutal RAC runner. Everett's also twice the athlete that Higbee is and apparently, from PFF graded out to be a better blocker last year as that was his weak link. If that was so, I don't understand why Mcvay used Everett on passing downs and Higbee on running downs so blatantly...that's quite an obvious Tell for a defense. I would thby SunTzu_vs_Camus - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteDeadpool The problem with guys like Kiser are can they hold up in passing downs? Probably not. He's just too tightly wound, muscle wise. Honestly, I would love to keep Littleton with the headset on the defense, with Kiser early and a "big nickel" type ILBer in passing downs next to him. Although, I must say that watching Kiser's limited snaps during the PS...Kiser had a few pasby SunTzu_vs_Camus - RamsFootballFans.com
I don't know enough about the various potential DCs to know. It was a slight concern that going to a Wade 3-4 defense would limit AD.... well, that was answered with his best year yet!!! LOL I'm just a real fan for team/scheme continuity and want to keep a similar system for our personnel on defense... I don't have a dog in the fight of "whom it may be"...maybe one of Wade's pastby SunTzu_vs_Camus - RamsFootballFans.com
either way, McVay's adjustments on offense do not seem to me to be personal related... just self-scouting and better scheming will fix it. The defense on the other hand needs personnel issues worked out to keep games from becoming shootouts - which we won most of those due to our offense. Even with all McVay's offensive Tells, it appears that other teams (sans 4 or 5) could NOT stop alby SunTzu_vs_Camus - RamsFootballFans.com
McVay got outcoached from things more than that. ========================================== I actually think Higbee is a good blocker. And Everett improved there quite a bit. This from PFF: Gerald Everett played almost half the snaps that teammate Tyler Higbee did, but he outperformed him over the course of the season. Everett had the edge as a receiver in both yardage totals and grades,by SunTzu_vs_Camus - RamsFootballFans.com
would you take him in the 2nd round? There are two teams with two 2nd rounders each that may be trade partners if things line up for it....a long shot but... would you take a trade down like that??? I think I would take that trade and I'd also I'd roll the dice on Simmons -if he were there- with one of those 2nd rounders and just sit him for a year and get him in our system, and locker roomby SunTzu_vs_Camus - RamsFootballFans.com
once Wade retires?? Wade has got to be nearing his retirement and the Rams have got to be wanting consistency for our defense and the 3-4 specific scheme so we don't have to get new players for the switch to a 4-3 if they hire a different DC. I wonder if the Rams like Pleasant..like that! Kinda like how the Pats are handling their OC to replace Bellicheck when the time comes.by SunTzu_vs_Camus - RamsFootballFans.com
We HAD to score over 30pts many games and tho the defense did make a few big plays when they needed to to win some close games... they were not consistent all year. I really want the defense that was in the play-offs to be our "normal" on defense. The offense?...will be our strength again this next year I would think.by SunTzu_vs_Camus - RamsFootballFans.com

Maybe a team will get desperate and throw a 2nd or 3rd rounder at us for him. ============================================== LINK When Cooper Kupp went down with a torn ACL in Week 10, the Los Angeles Rams had a huge void to fill.

Barron just confuses me now...! lolby SunTzu_vs_Camus - RamsFootballFans.com
So, I'm cool with that setup if there's any jealousy or wierd locker room stuff. However, I really don't think there is...cuz SOMETHING made McVay go with CJ more than TG...and I want the team to be GOOD no matter who is running the ball. I think TG was hurting and McVay was stunned by how well CJ adjusted to the Zone run scheme and just man-crushed on CJ. TG is the bell cow...either wayby SunTzu_vs_Camus - RamsFootballFans.com
