Quotemoklerman QuoteRamgator McVay did almost NOTHING to change up? I mean....That who game looked like the Rams were trying ALL game to cram a square peg into a round hole with ZERO signs of it working. I sure would have liked to have seen more swing passes or slants. Seems like the whole game, the Rams were trying to straight up run into the teeth of the Pats or standard 5 step drops and TOOby ramBRO - RamsFootballFans.com
There's a report out indicating that McVay would rather roll with the players that are currently on the roster. I hope that he isn't mis-reading our RB unit in the same way he clearly mis-read our O-line's capabilities last season. I just don't want this guy toting the rock for Seattle.by ramBRO - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteSoCalRAMatic <snipped> You know, I think McVay shouldn't say that we have no interest in him. I'm not sure if McVay actually said that. From the linked article: QuoteMcVay on the possibility of bringing in RB Leonard Fournette: “He’s a good player, but we feel good about the guys we have in-house. We’re not looking at anybody externally. I’ve been very pleased with our bacby ramBRO - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteLMU93 Keep in mind whoever claims him takes on his $4.17M salary for 2020. No thank you. Not a leader or the type of guy this team wants or needs to bring in. At all. A $4.17M one-year lease for a youthful RB who put up over 1600 yards from scrimmage (over 70 receptions)? Where do I sign up? Who needs him to be a leader?

QuoteRamsdude Do we take a chance? Can we afford him? He's gotta be better than what we have, right? As a one-year lease, I def think that we ought to take a look at him. Here's how I see things: 1) I'm still not convinced that our O-line is where it needs to be. Like last year, I expect our RB's to get hit a lot in the backfield and Fournette has shown that he can take the punishment. 2by ramBRO - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteRockRam Robert Woods admits it straightaway. There is so much politics mixed in with the NFL now (most sports, now, I suppose) that's it has become nearly impossible to separate them. But the various leagues have been setting themselves up for this for a long time by pandering to various politicians and certain political agendas (Goodell is the king of this).

QuoteRamgator My words, I HOPE, do not offend. Just thoughts from the top of my head. I just hate seeing what is going on. It's a complex issue that will take a lot of cool heads to overcome.

QuoteRamgator <snipped> I think them staying the course and doing what they do, in the face of the mess out there, shows more strength than walking out.

QuoteRockRam You're not supposed to be that big and jump that high. You're not supposed to be that big and tall, and yet be agile. That said, the issue is playing football.

I just got finished reading the above-linked article that was posted by Rams43 a couple of days ago. Because of arguments that I've heard wherein folks have been suggesting that public health orders (i.e. lockdowns, social distancing, face-covers, etc.) are actually more harmful than Covid-19 itself, the title of the piece definitely caught my attention.
