he had 137 sacks, but it took 14 seasons and 219 games......AD...154 games and 10 seasons. Randle had 26 more sacks but over 65 more games and 4 more seasons to get there.by roman18 - RamsFootballFans.com
He's seems like the guy that got pumped up with that type stuff. IMO he would have not wanted to continue playing IF the double/triple teams became one on ones, or even being over looked. Double/triple teams for him was/is a badge of honor. He left the game for his own reasons, don't think it was money issues. Maybe he looked at Fletcher Cox leaving, Hendo leaving, Raheem leaving...... IMOby roman18 - RamsFootballFans.com
It's been said by me and others he was injured in the 1/4 of the season. He had groin issues and played through them.. Before that happened he was one of the top rated CB's in the league in several areas. His hit on him was actually he is a very good CB, but he has had injuries in his career. You keep making it sound as though he just started slacking off as the season went on.by roman18 - RamsFootballFans.com
They have Young, 8 sacks last year and he really didn't know what was up...very limited techniques, You have Jones who is a very good pass rusher from the inside backer spot....Lake can do some as well, Curl ...does he have the ability, I know he's a good tackler. Turner, Young will be better. If Brown continues his upward play this year he can be a block eater for Turner, even get some hitsby roman18 - RamsFootballFans.com
He is a good ST player, maybe actually the only one we have...LOL.....He isn't a game breaker, but guys like that are the ones who make a team a solid team. Now I wish they got Cashman to go with Jones in the middle, but......there's a lot of things to wish for. He's really worked hard, from a basic walk on type pro player to finding a way to stick and now making himself a resign....good for hiby roman18 - RamsFootballFans.com
The RAMS would be in bigger S$%^ if Matthew retired right now. AD was a one time force, whoever they get to fill the spot on the field isn't going to do everything he did. Turner is a great player who is going to improve over last year. As a matter of fact I think the way the guy is wired it'll be double the effort from him. They'll fall off some on D, but I really think it won't be as much asby roman18 - RamsFootballFans.com
8-10 or maybe more is what they'll need for the draft?by roman18 - RamsFootballFans.com
I see no reason why not...I really think football and the players around him are a major block of his life. When he goes he doesn't seem to be coach material or commentator for that matter, so football will leave a big hole IMO. Family life, maybe gyms for a business will be his work....by roman18 - RamsFootballFans.com
very good move and he will help a lot on the very back end......They really are/have worked hard on their board in FA, which also assists on their board for the draft...a lot.by roman18 - RamsFootballFans.com
Gives insights into his actual life issues while playing ball. His ideas of living life and what he went through. From being a functional alcoholic, to his disappointment with Dickerson's contract issues to his marriage problems. His highs and disappointments overall. It's a short read and I recommend it to get a better sense of the man himself rather than just appreciating his great abilitieby roman18 - RamsFootballFans.com
Oh well, I missed out yet again....LOL......by roman18 - RamsFootballFans.com
that is why it's taking this long, if it was a restructure I would think it would go much faster, if not already done. I see no sense in trying to stretch out his money with a restructure as he is and will always be a backup with injury issues as well.. New contract,much less money and for no more than 2 years....more like a 1 year deal 5/6 million?by roman18 - RamsFootballFans.com
as a swing, backup player. At his tendered cost that would be a steal IMO.by roman18 - RamsFootballFans.com
LOL......I don't know about the legend of Wentz.....outside of him playing well above average when healthy, I wouldn't consider that a legend. What I recall of Jimmy Jesus was he could walk on water but never won when it ultimately mattered. The media at one time was Jimmy this and that...LOL..... I don't dislike the idea of getting him, but IMO he'll be asking a lot more than what I think weby roman18 - RamsFootballFans.com
The TD to I think Puka was a damn hard pass to place. The guy has a live arm, you gotta remember as #2 he isn't working with the 1st team, the only time he was doing that was that week of practice before the whiners. Him sitting on his couch (and he wasn't) he was doing activities he loves, hunting etc..... Just because teams ignored him shows nothing about his abilities, he sure looked at hby roman18 - RamsFootballFans.com
when he has a real bad injury. He probably had his head in a bad place, the guy lives football. If he's in a bad place what kind of encouragement could he bring? I don't think that's being selfish, that's being real IMO.by roman18 - RamsFootballFans.com
You really think that way about him, being self centered? He was skipping along with Turner last year, he wasn't moping around when Turner was tieing his rookie record, he was right there encouraging him. I would think you'd come up with he has inside info of a trade coming down for Josh Allen ....LOL..... The guy has more than made his money, I think he loves the locker room, I think that iby roman18 - RamsFootballFans.com
I think most/all these people grade on who THEY wanted, then determine that usually their pick would have been better.by roman18 - RamsFootballFans.com
I just can't get my head around that crapa$$ helmet he used to wear. I am not a Wentz all the way guy, but I do think he would be cheaper that Jimmy, and I don't think anyone is knocking on his door, I also think the RAMS have been in contact with him for a while now.by roman18 - RamsFootballFans.com
and if the revamped line protects and the run game clicks that's very possible. Now why would you want to have Fields as a backup for that period+ pay him. Would he want to be a 3 year backup? Would he want to be a 1 year backup? Nobody is going Wentz's way...he'll be there when the RAMS ring him up, heck they may have already made those plans with him, I think that's a done deal.by roman18 - RamsFootballFans.com
and I think it was actually later in the year, not half season. You also need to take into consideration the other guys in the back end would at times be out of place leaving him without back help.by roman18 - RamsFootballFans.com
They think they had to grab him before he was taken by someone else........."Man that's a relief, nobody has him but us"by roman18 - RamsFootballFans.com
They may have to make it happen...by trading up a couple/few spots.by roman18 - RamsFootballFans.com
No way they accept #19 for that guy.....I am sure they have factored in his contract when they franchised him with their plans moving forward.by roman18 - RamsFootballFans.com
so you can go high at WR...I want to go high on Edge and leave WR alone (drafting high). I don't see the need for a WR as a prominent need. I see you do. Look at the cost it is at a vet Edge.....IMO higher than WR at this point. If they get their Edge in the draft it's at a rookie contract for 4-5 years....those big numbers(if used on a vet edge) are now able to go in offensive needs down theby roman18 - RamsFootballFans.com
I think he may come back....he liked it here, he has said so. He may come back on the cheap.....It may be a part of their pre FA/Draft plans?by roman18 - RamsFootballFans.com
3/4 of the season...he was rated high in the league at his spot. He was working with some young guys who would at times be way out of place....he reacted calmly like a vet should with young guys.....As far as rookies go, well all of them for the most part need work coming in, that's why IMO Sean made a conscientious effort to bring in a staff that teaches....Turner, Young and Lake (basically a rby roman18 - RamsFootballFans.com
I think that Snead/Sean and company are doing things by the book they have planned out. They took on DeMarcus after letting Allen go....even swap plus they had intentions of moving Avila to C to begin with. They then moved out to G knowing that Dotson was a key fixture. FA starts and they go G right off.....that tells me this was a planned move they were going this way before it started. Pickby roman18 - RamsFootballFans.com
You gotta be kidding. Turner was ROY, Young did better than expected, Spoon was a steal before he hurt his groin (and was playing through it) Lake shows high upside, Brown was coming on big time on the line.....Several games were wins due to defensive stops. Now you have those coming back with a good footing plus you're getting an upgrade over Kendricks. They did not do/make hard moves for aby roman18 - RamsFootballFans.com
