Quotealyoshamucci Really liked him coming out and was pretty shocked when we waived him. Really glad to have him back. Looks like it could be a really strong nd versatile front 8. Well I think they waived him to put him on the PS. But then he opted to sign with the Lions, not Rams. Later (ironically) the Lions waived him and the Rams snatched him back up.

QuoteDavid Deacon Robert Woods had plenty of question marks about him when the Rams signed him to what was though of as a big deal. . To be honest? And this is just my view. I don't think Woods had a single legit question mark at the time they signed him. I just think that he had modest production in a Buffalo offense that was 31st and 32nd in passing attempts the last 2 years he was there. Buby zn - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteClassicalwit I remember being, meh, about Woods, and I considered him a stopgap. I think ZN was, at the time the Rams signed him, one of the few people who were very excited. All of those folk were very perceptive. Yeah at the time, I could see why they signed Woods. Here's the thing. When they signed him, I looked at his numbers in Buffalo when Watkins was out for consecutive games. In thby zn - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteCraigMatson But yeah we could get lucky and its not an issue . I don't think it's a matter of luck. I think they got their guy in Kiser. And when I read around on Kiser, I can see why.

QuoteSpeed_Kills that the Rams will have some very tough decisions to make in the next year Robert Woods is one of my favorite Rams... I have been blown away by how hard this man works... and how tough he is on the field.

This is shaping up to be a deep, talented veteran DL and therefore the very kind of defense that gave the Rams trouble in 2018. McCoy just adds to that. And that's going against an OL with 2 vital additions and one vital loss (Saffold) in game one. So to me it's not Goff v. Newton or Donald v. McCoy.

QuotePHDram So I told you. I didn't ask anything. That was rhetorical. Even if you took it as a real question, the question was whether disagreement is okay in general, it wasn't personal (and of course it;s okay).

Interesting take by VB. Well said too. But the realist in me also wants to say, hope it holds up. For a veteran team, Rams are going through a lot of changes. Lots up in the air. I am inclined to agree with the more optimistic accounts, but there are eggs and then there are hatched eggs. Changes and/or developmental issues with young players: Peters?

QuotePHDram You can do or say whatever you want.

Quotemoklerman "Yes, he was banged up throughout the season. He got hurt in Week 1, played through it the rest of the season," Jones-Drew said.

Quotemoklerman You are speaking way too definitively about something that you don't actually have any facts. You have reports. All of the coach speak and medical reports add up to a bunch of nothing.

Quotepromomasterj I find statements like - MJD is 'confused' or' misinterpreted' or he's 'just in the media' puzzling. Why is his opinion so quickly discounted?

Quotewaterfield I think he's referencing a "doctor" simply to clarify this argument. But that's not likely to happen since it would be improper to render an opinion w/o examining the subject.

Quotejemach I can't reconcile that statement. So if it's a flare up, you don't list it on the report. Sounds sound the Bill Belichick school of injury reports. You have to read people.

QuoteGlyndwr71 Gurley did an interview mid-season where he said he got hurt in week one and, after signing the big contract in the off-season, he "wanted to give the money back." That really implies that whatever happened week one it was serious and career-threatening. There was no injury. Something acted up on a surgical knee. And, no one has ever said this was career threatening.by zn - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotewaterfield there could be no trauma associated "structural damage" such as in a fracture, tear, etc BUT a player, writer, other lay people could easily claim that they have an injury if -whatever it is-simply "flares" up now and then.
