QuoteKillrazor Agreed. Just some really weird, head scratching decisions that went into this uniform design. It's artsy f artsy just for the sake of trying to be creative and "cutting edge modern" to a fault. At the very lease I wish they could have used yellow pants with a bone jersey for the road uniforms. At least they would have been closer to what we were used to seeing witby JimYoungblood53 - RamsFootballFans.com
a sun?--people have just glossed over all this stuff and focused on the light grey unis and never really talked about the stupid details. Mostly the cheerleaders have tried to shame any criticism by calling critics disloyal and the usual stuff---but there has never been any real substantive discussion of the bad design elements of the uniform, especially the grey one. snitches gby JimYoungblood53 - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotewaterfield I can't really tell the difference in the new helmet from the past ones. I know its part of my visual disability as I tend to look at stuff "generally" meaning I don't look at the details. At least that's how my wife sees it. I do respect others who really care about the details of uniforms etc. But to me a uniform is a uniform and will never impact my long standing fandby JimYoungblood53 - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotezn I only commented on the idea that someone says people can't say certain things. Comment #1 says, you can't say X. Comment #2 says, you can't say Y. Both comments say you others can't say a certain thing. In terms of myself, when it comes to the uniform issue, I go out of my way to say how individuals respond to the new uniforms is entirely a matter of personal taste.

Maybe board regulars are tired of it... but everytime I post it gets big response...(actually from regulars) so people say one thing (they are tired of it) but do another (respond) And this was a new meme, showing all the stolen stuff. Plus, you see any football going on? Are you sure there is even going to be camp? preseason? a full season? If there will be fans in the new staby JimYoungblood53 - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteRampage2K- You've gotta get past the hatred of the new look horn..... it really doesn't look that bad once you see the 3-D look of the horn and stop focusing on the moon. "I gotta"?

objectively speaking. Some people let their homerism taint the actual design. It's a bad design. It's not a ram horn. It's a moon or a wave, there is no curl it's not a ram horn. people who would love anything the rams put out are not objective. sorryby JimYoungblood53 - RamsFootballFans.com

he was so smooth that it was deceptive. There was a reason Yary and Dierdorf and others said he was the best. And why his stats were the best of his era and why teams didn't run on the Rams especially to his side He never went unblocked and usually had more than one blocker. And his book doesn't say he was an alcoholic. he specifically says he wasn't. It does say he drank too much to cby JimYoungblood53 - RamsFootballFans.com
The difference between a 4.28 and a 4.45 is kind of a lot both are fast but one is *fast* Ron Brown ran a 4.28 on grass (hand-time) Hakim ran a 4.45 at the combine but---who would you rather have as a receiver?

Quoteden-the-coach I have a feeling that Rapp will be called upon by New DC Brandon Staley to come often on the Safety Blitz. Staley's scheme (Fangio's) calls for that and Rapp is the perfect type of Safety to bring on the blitz IMO. He tackles well and the Safety Blitz can help contain a running QB because the Safety can get to him so like Wilson & Murray for example. But I question "by JimYoungblood53 - RamsFootballFans.com

The 5 Greatest Rams Teams Of All-Time By Ryan Anderson June 5, 2020 5-The 1973 Rams 1973 had “rebuild year” written all over it. The team had a new head coach, Chuck Knox, and a new quarterback, John Hadl.

They even had new uniforms, reintroducing gold to theby JimYoungblood53 - RamsFootballFans.com

Quoterampage666 I see Samson and Floyd as the 1+2nd down starters at OLB. With Lewis and Obo seeing the field sporadically in obvious passing situations and on long drives. issue is both play same position in 1+2nd down defense Samson backed up Matthews...spelled him or whatever.
