Goff will have his time soon enough. Here's my biggest fear for him....and I would hope & pray that Groh/Weinke drills it into his head.... that when the play is not there and he's confused...THROW IT AWAY!!!!!!!!!!............ immediately. Otherwise, the kid's competitiveness/grit will not allow him to give up on a play and he'll hold onto the ball and GET MURDERED.... ACL or brokenby SunTzu_vs_Camus - RamsFootballFans.com
It's hard for me to believe in a conspiracy of all refs against GRob...unless we could see that the same ref groups called GRob for more holding than others or something. In fact, that'd be very interesting data for ALL ref groups I would think. but yeah, I've seen GRob do exactly what you stated above and get called for it.....that's why I think Fisher supports GRob more than some would likeby SunTzu_vs_Camus - RamsFootballFans.com
thru all the draft day trades. Zn, points out the hit/miss rate of drafting players.... and the Rams have their share of misses but also of decent hits. When Goff comes online and starts getting experience we'll know what kind of QB he is and if it was a good choice. Personally, I liked him in the PS even though he played poorly sometimes...his head was clearly spinning. Once his head doby SunTzu_vs_Camus - RamsFootballFans.com
I hope yer doin okay with the psychological aspect of it too.... that's what's hard & insidious sometimes. Give my best to Frank too! Man, you BOTH are made of strong stuff!!! Ya'll inspire me! be wellby SunTzu_vs_Camus - RamsFootballFans.com
Martz will deliver. imo On offense anyway. I'd keep GW and Bones for Defense & STs. I think Goff would be perfect for the offense Martz tends towards. imo And Martz is just down I-5 about 2hrs. ;)by SunTzu_vs_Camus - RamsFootballFans.com
I don't understand yer confusion, G. We get 2 high comp picks in the 3rd & 4th rounds. The 3rd rounder that goes to the Titans IS for our lowest 3rd round pick... we own will keep our own 3rd rounder as the now NFL allows trading Comp picks this year. So, the net result is that we have ALL our picks in every round (+2 in the 4th).... sans missing our 1st rounder. We have a young/francby SunTzu_vs_Camus - RamsFootballFans.com
we are giving the Titans our Comp-3rd rounder(Jenks) and most likely getting an extra 4th for McCleod. So, we're just minus our 1st to the Titans. iircby SunTzu_vs_Camus - RamsFootballFans.com

was that 2 years ago w/MikeSmith as their HC? I can't remember. Anyway, ATL is the surprise team and yeah that was an impressive win in Denver. Good luck to them! btw - What is goin on with the Panthers this year? Should Rivera be fired?

you love my post & agree?!? ;) ....or something else? lol let's discuss....or am I a lost cause? ;)by SunTzu_vs_Camus - RamsFootballFans.com
Rams couldn't stop McCoy from getting a 150yds.... yet, Vinny wanted the Rams to punt the ball and stop the Bills with a 3&Out to get the ball back. THAT would seem the harder strategy for Fisher to defend had he done that....especially without 3/4s of his starting DL. imo I'm fine with the fake call. It's won us games in the past and ya can't win them all. btw - EEVERY team is well aby SunTzu_vs_Camus - RamsFootballFans.com
The exciting truth is parity has made games so close...where a few plays decide the entire game and the margin for error gets smaller & smaller. That's cool with me! I like that. It now becomes which team makes those "few plays" difference to win the game. So far? We were blown out in Game 1...UGH!! ....But, came back & won those 2-3 plays in our 3 wins... and losby SunTzu_vs_Camus - RamsFootballFans.com
I do like that we have been much better passing and that will lead to the running game getting on track...eventually. I've been a very big critic of our passing game and playcalling - at times - but other than a few odd drives Boras is having CK throw more downfield and I like it. The running game will come on as long as we keep passing. It looks like we run more shotgun these days...I wonderby SunTzu_vs_Camus - RamsFootballFans.com
plus, it would give TA just a second or two extra which =s an extra yard or two in space...with which to do his thang. ;) And the Rams have had very good success being aggressive and faking ST plays. imo The timing of the call can be debated for being to predictable...but I liked the call. I DO NOT think we could have stopped McCoy and gotten the ball back...not with 3/4s of our DL out anby SunTzu_vs_Camus - RamsFootballFans.com
but cheap labor that isn't good....and doesn't help yer team win... is a losing formula for bad rosters as those players just take up space.by SunTzu_vs_Camus - RamsFootballFans.com
I think politics are in yer future! ;)by SunTzu_vs_Camus - RamsFootballFans.com
and that's why they are passing to try and get some space for him to run. The OL is nearly there in setting TG free. TG is just fine he has just had no room to even get forward momentum. imo What was the stat?.....3 feet until TG gets first contact??? Yikes!!! They're doin good passing and forcing teams to see CK can hit Britt, Kendricks or (gulp)Quick...and TA in the passing game.by SunTzu_vs_Camus - RamsFootballFans.com
sorry,Les.... I just loved that movie and yer header was low hanging fruit! Actually, that quote is long forgotten so the joke is on me!!! lol ;)by SunTzu_vs_Camus - RamsFootballFans.com
Guys like THemingway/Thomas/Forrest(PS guys I thot) who I thought wouldn't make the team really. not even factoring Spruce as UDFA yet, but I think he'll get some good reps this year at some point. But what's interesting to me is...5 of the 6 draftees making the team after coming in the 4th round & later. That's kinda good...ain't it? ;)by SunTzu_vs_Camus - RamsFootballFans.com
I think DT Easley is the best 3 tech signing(ala Donald) we've had in a while. I have not looked at much tape I just know that he flashes in replays and forcing issues on the DL. I wish we'd sign him for longer than a year...cuz next year we might lose some DL(Sims? Hayes?).by SunTzu_vs_Camus - RamsFootballFans.com
One Rule to Rule Them All. ;) Toe touch rule, i mean. If a toe counts then a toe it is...if it needs to be the heel/toe to count...make it so. Just make ONE freakin rule for that. With so many wonderful toe tips on the sideline for completions, I would think what Tru did would've been accepted...or shoulda been. imoby SunTzu_vs_Camus - RamsFootballFans.com
and being avg/.500 every year !!...............yer only 1-3 games from going to the play-offs every year. I think THAT...is the mark of a good HC...and would give fans hope every year that a 1-3 game swing is very possible... now that the team has rebuilt itself in his image. The offense needs further growth but we have Goff waiting in the wings and I'm glad to have him sit and learn while wby SunTzu_vs_Camus - RamsFootballFans.com
But....CK is not a "passing" talent. Goff is that talent. There are many passes that are thrown poorly to wide open WRs... and it will hurt us. When Goff gets comfortable in this offense as CK has...Goff will thrive and is a better passer of the football. imo I'm really happy for CK and our team and stoked that Goff can watch and learn....what a great luxury!!! As for Gurley anby SunTzu_vs_Camus - RamsFootballFans.com
Spruce is more like a Ricky Proehl type. imo Sure hands, but not as quick or even fast as the guys you mentioned. Spruce will run good routes and get open quickly and find the open spots for his QB...like Proehl used to to do. I'm excited for his return...Cooper too. I'm curious how they play in the Bigs!! ;)by SunTzu_vs_Camus - RamsFootballFans.com
Martz was known for aggressive play-calling, and the calls for a pass-happy offense led to quarterback Jay Cutler getting repeatedly sacked. The issue caused Cutler to say to Martz "Tell him I said, @#$%& him!" in a game against the Minnesota Vikings in 2011. However, offensive statistics revealed that the Bears were ninth in the NFL in rushing and ninth in rushing attempts and 27thby SunTzu_vs_Camus - RamsFootballFans.com
Hell, if I'm Stan....I'd make GreggWilliams HC and force/hire Martz for the offense... and then, tell each coach NOT to speak to each other....ever! ;) That'd be killer to watch that defense with an offense that treats every play like it's the last. yeah, I know...it's silly. But it's just my opinion, so there!by SunTzu_vs_Camus - RamsFootballFans.com
which means that if you put a QB who is NOT ready in the line of fire...we get fumbles, Pick-6s, Sacks, etc... making it easy for the opposition to win. Pete Carroll's offense didn't do much better against us! Goff will play when he can handle it...or he will LOSE games for us that a plodding CK could barely win for us. We're not getting a high draft pick for losing this year due to the trby SunTzu_vs_Camus - RamsFootballFans.com
