Astonishing decision by your now ex-wife to leave her entire family to "find her happiness". Family IS happiness. Farming is a lifestyle choice, not for everyone. Most of my uncles were farmers and they dealt with bad growing seasons, I'm sure you will too with the help of your daughters and neighbors who want you to ask them for help.

The author used three ILBs who were drafted in the second round, are one or two years younger than Littleton and became full-time starters right out of college, except for Smith who was hurt and became a starter after red-shirting his rookie year. Not good comps, IMO. Eric Kendricks with Minnesota and Benardrick McKinney with Houston both signed extensions in 2018 for 5 years, $50 million. Othby snowman - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteAlbaNY_Ram Anyone on the roster for the first game of the season has their salary guaranteed for the year: cutting any or all of those guys won't save a dime in cap space. Thanks, I did not know that. Adding anyone of Trent Williams' salary will require a restructure of someone else's contract to make room in 2019 ans 2020. Not an easy thing to do.

Quotemax Trade for Trent Williams, play him at LG this year, then move him to LT next year when Whit retires. Pay him OT money that you save from Whit being gone. Next year, trade Havenstein for a 3rd round pick and draft an OG. Get Hav's money off the books. Move Noteboom to RT. Trent Williams' base salary for 2019 is $8.9 million, or $6.5 million more than we have in cap space. Who woulby snowman - RamsFootballFans.com
Sorry, just got back on the board. Coordinator means organizing all the other working parts of the organization to achieve goals, accomplish objectives, implement strategies. Ringmaster, movie director, something like that. As zn said, they work together in collaboration at the same time, like a committee. They choose a course of action together.

QuotePHDram thats an interesting take. yes its a collaborative approach but his bio suggests that snead runs the personnel side. In his role as general manager, Snead partners with Head Coach Sean McVay to direct all personnel decisions for the club. In addition, Snead coordinates all aspects of the club’s football operations with the head coach. The word "coordinator" was inby snowman - RamsFootballFans.com
Success rate is also affected by the team's roster depth. IMO, Henderson has a lesser chance of becoming a consistent starter because he is firmly behind Todd Gurley. IMO, Long has a better chance of becoming a consistent starter because Talib and Peters are on the last years of their contract and may not be with the Rams next year. They were both selected in the third round but come to the teamby snowman - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteIm introducing objectivity into the assessment by suggesting there should be a certain level of expectation per round. I think fans generally expect more from first and second round picks than from fourth and fifth round picks because the better college players with greater pro potential should be taken first, right? Nobody disputes that assumption, that wasn't the issue. The issue was wby snowman - RamsFootballFans.com
Robert Quinn also came out of the 2011 draft, so the while draft wasn't bad.by snowman - RamsFootballFans.com
Kendricks has played eight years in the league and is under contract for 2019. He has 91 career starts and has played H-Back. His career stats are comparable to Coby Fleener, Dwayne Allen and Ed Dickson who were taken around the #47 overall pick in the draft the year before and the year after. Sounds like a good role player to me.by snowman - RamsFootballFans.com
Williams base salary for 2019 is $10,850,000 and in 2020 is $12,500,000. We can't afford him this year as the Rams have just $4,850,000-ish in cap room. Signing Williams would throw Rams draft strategy and offensive line development principles out the window. We drafted Noteboom and the new guys this year to develop them into starters to avoid paying big bucks to a free agent LOT. Williamsby snowman - RamsFootballFans.com
I watched this segment and I believe this was more or less staged to get a rise out of MJD who was sitting at a table off to the side. Jones would pick a Rams loss and look at MJD, then the camera would pan over and MJD would be stewing and yell something back at Jones.

QuotePHDram so kroenke does not acquire players (snead) or coach (mcvay). does kroekne have any power? This is getting weird. Kroenke hires people to make football decisions.
