Re: I think Jackson already jumped him on the depth chart - 2 months ago
QuoteRampage2K- Noteboom will be cut or moved to guard....Jackson looked much better from the eye test What "eye test" is that? Jackson has barely played and is currently out with a non-football injury. Would luv nothing more than to find a "diamond in the rough" player, but I'm skeptical at such a critical position.by ramBRO - RamsFootballFans.com
Re: Getting half the team back would be a start - 2 months ago
QuoteAtlantic Ram <snipped> From my perspective, the Rams need a legit LT and need to add a few starter-quality OL. I wouldn't snub my nose at a good RB either. after that they just need to get healthy. We won't know what the Rams need until players come back. Ehhhh...I think it's fair to assume that the team's gonna need a fresh look on the o-line. I know that that unit has sufferedby ramBRO - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteRamsdude <snipped> You can post all the stats you want but it doesn't mean you are right. It's easy to find "stats" to back any opinion if you look hard enough. While I would agree that stats don't tell the full story...they definitely tell A story.

QuoteDeadpool QuoteramBRO <snipped> - Solidify the OL how, I'm genuinely curious on how'd you'd do it - Hire (or listen to) an OC that can meld a rushing attack with McVay's offense McVay can run the ball, in 2017 they were 8th in team rushing yards, 2018 they were 3rd, 2019 they were 26th, 2020 they were 10th, 2021 they were 25th.

Re: OK but one glaring omission - 2 months ago
QuoteAtlantic Ram <snipped> IMO they had to put faith in their plan. They had to hope Noteboom would be a suitable replacement... but he wasn't. Now the Rams have Jackson at LT? Good lord. Luckily he is overachieving, IMO. Evans? Not so much. Kolone? How bad was it that Kolone started? McVay can't run his offense and everyone suffers. And Mcvay can't run his offense because no one canby ramBRO - RamsFootballFans.com
Re: Allen just isn't that good. - 2 months ago
QuoteEkern55 Basically since Saffold left. Yeah, I don't understand this. Whit and Saffold were quite a tandem on the left side. But the unit always seemed to be undermined by the center and right side. Yes. Sully, Blythe, and Havs play(ed) hard, but truth be told...they could always be pushed around - and McVay could never find a way to counter this (not sure if many other coaches cby ramBRO - RamsFootballFans.com
Re: Some things that bother me - 2 months ago
Quotewaterfield <snipped> As far as trading off the stars now to get some capital that was always the method of Dr. Buss of the Lakers and he was right. Sacrifice the last year or so of a great player to get several years of good players. I.E. Shaq. Although Dr. Buss was right to trade Shaq, we disagree on why he decided to do so.

Re: Some things that bother me - 2 months ago
So, on the one hand, you're not a fan of trading picks for players. But on the other, you're dissatisfied with the players the organization has drafted with the picks that they've had. Let's assume you listen to all offers for current core players (and TBH, I'm not sure why Kupp wasn't included on your list because he'd have no team around him)...

It's Crazy Watching The Charger/9'er Game - 2 months ago
Shelled out $800 to watch the game today at SoFi. I think the only real benefit of it was that I got a chance to see the Ram defensive alignment snap-in and snap-out - especially its secondary coverage. It was my observation that the Rams appeared to deploy some type of hybrid concept. What I mean by that is that it appeared as though Arizona would line up one WR on one side of the fieldby ramBRO - RamsFootballFans.com

Re: Two things… - 2 months ago
QuoteRams43 First, who cares? I do. The Rams traded our best blocking WR, WR2 and team captain for NOTHING on the belief that OBJ (who owed them absolutely NOTHING) would re-sign with them. What has this gotten them? A non-existent rushing attack; an expensive new WR who can't get on the same page with Stafford; and, a missing leader who had the chops to speak truth to player and coachby ramBRO - RamsFootballFans.com

Re: What always seems forgotten - 2 months ago
Quote3030 When critiquing Morris is easy to forget that this is the defense that McVay wants. McVay dumped Wade's scheme and brought in Staley because he wanted the Fangio defense. He brought in Morris, who had no history with the Fangio defense, and they continued to run the Fangio defense. Not saying Morris can't run it, but one has to wonder if this is the defense he would run if given thby ramBRO - RamsFootballFans.com

Quoteleafnose Youngblood has some solid takes, as does Jourdan What I missed was what might have been a block that Kupp didn't get from Higbee? Very frustrated with the play calling on the last offensive set. I was sharply against that end around, but perhaps I missed a key issue. I listened to the podcast last night. The issue with Higbee on that play wasn't that he didn't block hisby ramBRO - RamsFootballFans.com
