Actually, Foles' "release" had already been negotiated with the Rams. He took a $750k haircut and the Rams released him so he could go to a team of his choice rather than be traded. A win win. The TV thing with Fisher was strictly for the cameras and the drama.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Very nice to hear corroboration of Goff's development. Also hearing of Higbee's blocking improvement was welcome news, indeed.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Here's Ramzee... Finally getting to a camp report. I'll keep it short and sweet. I have another camp to get to early this morning and the drive is loooooooong. I got to meet up with Elvis, Hacksaw_64 and ramsman34 again on Tuesday and we got to hang out in the VIP tent. Really nice view! Thanks guys and the SoCal Rams Booster Club for hooking that up!

Quotezn QuoteRams43 Quotezn QuoteRams43 Why did the Rams use their 90th roster spot on a DT? Hmmmmm? Is that an indication of some dissatisfaction with their DT corps? Were they simply in love with this kids potential and think he might be a gem? Are they really pleased with their depth at every single other position group? I don't think that they needed him for a camp body at that poby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotemax Think about the Rams passing game in 1973 and 1999. They did not suffer from all the points I listed. I was referring in my final paragraph to the surprise of the fans and pundits that had not been paying close attention in '73 and '99, max.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteSoCalRAMatic Actually GZ is a great subject. Seemed like a future HOF as a rookie with the combo of incredible power and accuracy. He made all his kicks for a good portion of that first season.

QuoteSoCalRAMatic How can anyone bench over 400 pounds without PEDs? Can't. Well, maybe he can get a few stops in goal line assignments before being suspended. Both Saffold and Donald have benched over 400 lbs, I believe. There may be more, I dunno.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotemax We are very close to what's going on with this team, so I wanted to step back and look at the passing game from a reasonable perspective. Here's the bottom line: Given the following: 1. 3+ year vets who have never produced at least 800 receiving yds in a season. 2. rookie QB and/or journeyman QB. 3. rookie receivers not taken in the 1st or 2nd round. How often does that combiby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteLMU93 I wonder if Goff may excel in a hurry-up, no-huddle scheme. Worth watching. I still believe the WRs end up being: Austin Britt Cooper Marquez Thomas Spruce I think that Goff would excel in a hurry up, no huddle scheme, 93. He seems to thrive in two minute and red zone. Two drills that require anticipation, seeing the field, and making quick decisions. So why not success iby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
This one rivals the legendary MFranke reports, IMO. Here's Hacksaw_64... Special teams work was big today. Fisher was hands on with the special teams unit. He was working with the speed guys lining up outside in punt coverage. Hekker made some nice angled punts. Tavon was returning. Couldn't tell if Pharoah Cooper was working back there with him today. Hekker showed of his arm onby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteTonyHunter87 He's attached to Fisher. If they have another sub par season they will both be gone imo. Disagree, Tony. Snead finds gems deep into the draft. Even a bunch in UDFA. Has for four years. Best GM talent evaluator since Klosterman, IMO. Remember, Snead's job is to evaluate the types of players that FISHER outlines. At least in the top 2-3 rounds.

QuoteRAMbler ....couldn't answer where the sun rises. It just does. Is this college graduate THAT clueless? What else is he clueless about? I enjoyed the show for sure.

Another takeaway was the many, many f-bombs. From Fisher on down through various coaches and including numerous players. So many that they tend to lose a bit of their intended impact.

Quote21Dog Quotewaterfield Substitute Todd Gurley for Deon Long. Same result? Of course not. But it sends a message. Fisher has different methods of sending messages to his players.

That's an easy question, PA. Anything less than 10-6? Replace Fisher. Extend Snead and his first assignment is to select and hire a HC. Give Snead a nice raise while we're at it. Then enjoy the upcoming draft and summer camp plus preseason games. Lol.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteGreatRamNTheSky Stephen A. Smith not a Jeff Fisher fan. Stephen A. blames the last 10 years of losing for the Rams on Fisher. Well, gee, Stephen, trying and understand Fisher has not been the Rams coach the last 10 years.

QuoteLMU93 For that reason alone it is somewhat make or break. The Rams will decide to pick up that option- or not- based on this season. And as the #2 pick in 2014 that 5th year will be in the $12M range. You just nailed it, 93. This season is critical for GRob's Ram career. It just is. I've been a supporter of the pick and a defender of his slow growth for all the well known reasons.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
You just expressed the perfect approach for a fan to take as we enter this preseason, Grits. Watch closely, read all reviews, of course. Part of the fun, anyway.

It's a rare thing to have two such talented players on the front four at the same time. Not to mention the talent level of Brockers and Hayes. Both fine players in their own right.
