for whatever reason, Goff was much more comfortable throwing short to Kupp, even when covered. Goff needs to look to Sammy as option 1, not Kupp and not Woods. When this changes, Sammy's production changes. I imagine if the cameras followed Watkins, you would see him running free a LOT, while Goff is forcing a pass to a covered Kupp. I keep Sammy around next year, and hopefully get a better ideaby spagsbacker - RamsFootballFans.com
so many things about it was spectacular, including the miss. However, give credit to Keenum for making the throw, and huge props to Diggs who exhibited amazing balance & dexterity to make the catch and stay in bounds. It was a special play.by spagsbacker - RamsFootballFans.com

I have always bashed Snead, as I do not think he has a clue in talent evaluation. What I do think he is good at is making trades. However, there are too many draft mistakes to overlook. Quick, Tavon, GRob, Pead, etc....there were too many misses on really high picks. Also, Rams gave up a 2nd rd pick they could not afford to trade for Tavon. Could have taken Hopkins who we all heard Rams loved. Suby spagsbacker - RamsFootballFans.com
i honestly dont know how he did not fall down after the catch. his ba;lance was unreal! what a stud!by spagsbacker - RamsFootballFans.com
we have needed a legit WR for years, and we finally get one, and he is upstaged by Woods & Kupp, and thus deemed expendable. So much has changed in one season. Can we now let a guy like Watkins go? Are Woods and Kupp as effective with an improved J Reynolds vs Sammy Watkins? That is the question. I do not know the answer. Do you? go rams.by spagsbacker - RamsFootballFans.com
Rams need to prioritize Donald, Joyner, TruJo and Sammy....not sure about the last two, but I think they play a more important role on the team.by spagsbacker - RamsFootballFans.com
I just do not know how he is perceived "within" the organization on all levels (amongst players and front office). I keep going back to Buffalo letting him go so easily. I know he had medical issues in Buffalo, and has possibly matured since his time there, but I do not like that he was amongst the purged players McDermott got rid of. At this time, I do not believe the Rams know whetherby spagsbacker - RamsFootballFans.com
I draft a C or a LT with first pick assuming the value is right. I let TruJo & Sammy walk. On the fence about Sullivan. I do not resign Barwin. Tavon & Quinn get cut. Resign Joyner, let AD play out his contract. Try to sign some second tier free agents like Rams did with Webster to fill in the gaps. go rams.by spagsbacker - RamsFootballFans.com
I think he says things like that intentionally. he is smart like that. i would not read anything into it though. Personally, I do not expect Sammy back after this mediocre at best season.by spagsbacker - RamsFootballFans.com
its a business. for now, he has a deal.by spagsbacker - RamsFootballFans.com
I just dont see the value in what it will take to retain either of these guys. Wish Rams never extended Tavon or Tree. go ramsby spagsbacker - RamsFootballFans.com
i mean we need to upgrade our linebackers. I know Ogletree just signed an extension, but man i just do not think he is great. The whiff on 3rd changed the game. the d line is thin. Brockers exit was really problematic. rams need a legit TE. maybe everett will grow into that role cb - we may lose Trujo, that will leave us thin. O line. RT is below average, and left side is getting oldby spagsbacker - RamsFootballFans.com
not sure why Rams felt so compelled to resign him. He is undisciplined, and does not wrap up tackle.by spagsbacker - RamsFootballFans.com
not his best game, but he will improve, and we are lucky to have him. He will learn, accept all the blame for the game as usual, and will be better next year.by spagsbacker - RamsFootballFans.com
he can be lazy and that was a game changing play. Tree had him, and had to just finish the play. It would have been a huge stop when Rams were bleeding, and Brockers absence was first being realized. The runner just wanted it more, much more.by spagsbacker - RamsFootballFans.com
outside was just begging for Gurley and rams running this weird up the middle stuff early with Gurley basically one step behind Goff to start with no momentum.by spagsbacker - RamsFootballFans.com
Brockers is underrated, Goff needs to get better at going through progressions. He locks onto Kupp and Woods whether they are covered or not and forces the throw while other receivers are running free.by spagsbacker - RamsFootballFans.com
but does Kupp being a "gamer" justify throwing to him in double coverage when Sammy W is running free? That is the problem. I am not defending Watkins, but it seems Goff decides who he is throwing to before the snap.by spagsbacker - Game Time Forum
if you are referring to the 3rd and long screen play that ogletree whiffed on, yeah, that changed everything. Ogletree is not a good tackler, he tries to hit runners to the ground.by spagsbacker - Game Time Forum
he locks on wrs, and does not go through progressions. He avoided sammy all night. Over relies on kupp and Woods.by spagsbacker - Game Time Forum
the D was ferocious until Cooper kept putting them out there.by spagsbacker - Game Time Forum

With that name "Rosen" he'd fit perfectly in NY. Grits REALLY :nowayby spagsbacker - RamsFootballFans.com
love them both. Rams have been very blessed with RBs. Faulk didn't suck either.by spagsbacker - RamsFootballFans.com
please do not compare Baker M to him.by spagsbacker - RamsFootballFans.com
he is soft. It would never come down to Sammy OR Jimmy, but the answer is a resounding Sammy.by spagsbacker - RamsFootballFans.com
GURLEY FOR MVPby spagsbacker - RamsFootballFans.com
even if it is for just a one year rental, the Rams would not be in this position without Sammy, that is my opinion anyway. Is he worth keeping next year is another matter, and I just don't know the answer.by spagsbacker - RamsFootballFans.com
