OK...after reading the actual LA Times article, I now understand the area where they're talking about (i.e. the old mall area as opposed to Canoga & Victory). It's been awhile since I was last on that property. Hard to imagine from memory that it was that big to hold an NFL practice facility (i.e. 2 - 3 practice fields, lockers, fan parking, etc.). And traffic on Topanga WOULD DEFINITELY bby ramBRO - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteEkern55 Ouch! I used to work a minutes walk from that mall. Luckily a lot of players live fairly close to that area in Hidden Valley and Calabasas. I say “ouch” because the traffic stinks there on Topanga Canyon Road. But the mall that replaced that spot and the Westfield north of that have upped their game, so it’s going to be a popular spot for the players to hang out.

Quotesstrams Had to order the captain patch and SB patch.. The Super Bowl patch that you ordered...is it embroidered or plastic? It looks as though it might be embroidered.

QuoteMamaRAMa Man, you're right there. Why is it so dinky? Simply inexperience with the organizers. You can tell by the choice of venue and parade route that the organizers didn't know what to expect in terms of how many fans might attend. Looks like they got a pretty good turnout, but because things are so spread out...it's hard to tell. It'll be much better next time.by ramBRO - RamsFootballFans.com
(LOL!) I knew that they didn't know how many fans were going to show, but surely they knew how many players there are (and that they're significantly larger than most other human beings)! We'll link them up with Laker reps and hope they do better for NEXT YEAR'S PARADE!by ramBRO - RamsFootballFans.com
Hekker's PAT muff. That hung over the Rams the entire game. But Boyd's 3rd down drop was huge too. At the least, it takes another 2 minutes off the clock making a 15-play drive all the much harder (if not impossible).by ramBRO - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRamstien How about Morris? Although our offense is very talented, I think it's pretty clear that McVay is the innovator that is able to put his key players (i.e. Stafford, Kupp, OBJ, Woods, Higbee, Akers, etc.) in position to win. Otherwise, they are just the Dallas Cowboys. I would think that you would want to keep that going with someone who's had similar success. I think thatby ramBRO - RamsFootballFans.com
Quote21Dog and leaving Chase open. Heard on NFL radio today that an all-22 view showed Donald grabbing Burrow just before Ramsey fell. It's likely Burrow, needing only one yard to get the first down, was looking for other receivers aside from Chase going deep. Oh, no doubt. And I wonder how many times that might happen during the course of a game. Not just with Ramsey, but overall.by ramBRO - RamsFootballFans.com
So, I don't think that McVay has any intention on not coaching the team next year (and beyond). But since he's still being coy about his future, I'm up to having some fun with this. If McVay announces tomorrow that he wants to take a break and step away from the game, who would you want to coach the team? My first impetus is that, with Woods (hopefully) coming back full strength at the begby ramBRO - RamsFootballFans.com
I think Baldy analyzed the same thing yesterday. Just a couple of thoughts: 1) With all hell breaking loose on his protections, I'm thinking that Burrow knew that he might not have time to even consider his TE (who would likely be slower coming out of his break); 2) Burrow was pretty good at recognizing the Ram DB dropping off to take away the slant. He hitched it thinking he might haveby ramBRO - RamsFootballFans.com
Were you able to see the Air Force flyover at the end of the National Anthem? I know that the roof is translucent, but I don't recall being able to see clearly through on prior visits (SNF game and partially cloudy for Jaguar game).

QuoteMamaRAMa Got a message from ESPN this morning that Super Bowl LVI has estimated 101.1 million tv viewers, up from 92 million in 2021.

Quotestlramz Would love to hear from an entertainment expert as to why that may be. I don't think its just a weather thing. Maybe cultural - a large immigrant population? Not really that into the fake football? Curious because it does seem like it would be in the Top 10 at least given its the home team - like Cincy. Yeah...IDK.

Quote21Dog <snipped> Collingsworth made a great point on the Beckham TD catch. He pointed out that the DB separated Beckham's arms, leaving Beckham with one arm to secure the ball. Beckham was able to cradle the ball with one hand/arm as he hit the turf. Can't recall a WR with stronger hands. (sigh!) If only Brandin Cooks had OBJ's hands...by ramBRO - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteRamsdude QuoteRamstien I was excited when the Rams drafted because I saw him a lot at Florida. I think we can still be excited for him. He has so much potential and I hope he lives up to it. I wonder if the signing of OBJ got into his head? Wasn't that supposed to be "his" spot? I don't think so.

Interesting. I read Jourdan's article in The Athletic and it mentioned how Michael Brockers was at the team post-Super Bowl party on Sunday night (he's very good friends with Donald). I started thinking how much I would've wanted him on this team, but then I stopped... Although I thought that Brock was a very good player for us, I don't think he ever flashed in the way that Gaines has ovby ramBRO - RamsFootballFans.com
When OBJ went down with injury on Sunday, I knew that we were in for a dogfight. But I thought that we were in good position to absorb the loss due to: A) the defensive opponent; and, B ) Van Jefferson's talent and seasoning (he played well in last year's Divisional Round playoff game). And he got his opportunities too as Stafford went to him (and Skowronek) multiple times in the late-2nd, 3rby ramBRO - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotesstrams Our ST were horrendous earlier in the year.. just freakin awful.. thank goodness we got Brandon Powell and Skow and the rest of the guys pulled their head's out..

QuoteCoy Bacon Rambro I agree with all of your points and that is why I thought firing would have been too drastic.

QuoteCoy Bacon <snipped> My observations match 43's. Lot's of people were disappointed with Morris' defense early on. But he changed something, or something changed, and his defense became a Ram's mainstay. I don't see any spin here at all. Fair enough. But headed into the season, we knew kinda knew four things: A) Morris had been asked to run a defense that he wasn't faby ramBRO - RamsFootballFans.com
