I remember well those days of riding on that backseat shelf. Wow, you really do put on few miles. Retired now I thought I was good about that but compared to you I'm an obsessive driver. :laughing I put about 10,000 to 12,000 on my pickup per year... my wife a little more than that. But I live in the boonies, so that's really not much. Closest gas station is 7 miles from me... to take iby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub

The Fearsome Foursome was my all time favorite Ram unit... then, now, and I believe forever more. I never doubted them. Hard to explain but I 'knew' they would come through. I didn't hope it, or think it possible, I knew it. Warner, Holt, Bruce, Faulk and the entire '99 offense came very close to that. Very very close. Whenever that team faced a third and 'whatever'... didn't matterby JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
not having tried AD on a 1-3yd run on the goal line is what I would call " mind boggling". And that before you consider the red zone problem the Rams have been suffering in years past... add that it turns 'mind boggling" into "mind shattering"..by JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
I think there's a place for it but I think it's most effective when used sparingly... and very seldom in critical situations. What I would like to see when it comes to Tutu is snapping the ball while Tutu is in motion... both before he crosses the formation and before.by JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
Being prone to jealousy and the fact that she currently has the greatest job in the world... AND she's GREAT at it... do you blame me? Ah well, she's going to miss Kerman High School's football game Friday night.. her loss. :laughingby JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
if we did I was going to surprise my grandson with a white water rafting trip down the Colorado River... BUT as I said I don't think we'll have time. Gotta be home for my other grandson's football game. We MIGHT have time, however, for a Helicopter tour of the Canyon. I'd much prefer the white water trip but maybe the Helicopter tour is worth it? Have you taken it? Anyone? - JamesJMby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
but I often think of how open the 'world' was back then... especially compared to today. No really blaming anyone... just so many more people today.by JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
I find two things very, very odd.... first... it seems like they did nothing to alleviate the traffic situation. and secondly, I am beyond astounded there is no hotel... a few of them actually, IN that complex. Maybe that's coming? Halibut and Sea Bass.. you made me hungry. I think seafood is my favorite. Well, mixed with a nice pasta. On TV the stadium is magnificent.... of course I'by JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
I remember perhaps the most anxiety ridden time for me was when Pitt., Balt., and Cleveland moved to the AFC. 1970 I think? I was terrified the Ram would be one of the teams to move.by JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
The only thing he left out was a drop kick for 3. :laughingby JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
But lemme' begin by saying I hate the Niners.... that's fact. However, I never saw the big rivalry with the Niners that others did. First... I don't live in LA or SF or close to either.. so I have no affiliation with the 'geographic' rivalry... that meant nothing to me. Now late things have changed somewhat... but for most of my Ram fan years the Rams and Niners played VERY few meaningfuby JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
respect the Packers. When the Rams beat them in '67 I felt that the Ram's had reached the pinnacle of success... that because I respected GB that much. I'm with you on the Vikes and Cowboys as well. Pretty sure that will never change. - JamesJMby JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
When Broadway Joe beat them in the SB I celebrated, boy did I ever celebrate.... and didn't even like Broadway Joe... did like WR Maynard however, who if I remember right didn't catch a single pass in that SB. Today I'm much more mature, still vindictive as hell however. :laughingby JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
Any of you still associate the Colts with those latter 60's when Baltimore was our biggest nemesis? I have to admit that I've mostly lost that.... it DOES cross my mind, occasionally, like in this thread. But for me the "Colts", (the name), lost most of it's meaning due to the moves and shuffling.by JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
I was a RB and a LB... I tend to like those two positions best. Not as much today, granted, but I have a soft spot in my heart for them. However - I coached for many years, many of us here have. Once I had a 'team' to consider I quickly came around to appreciating what the OL does. As a RB I used instinct.. OL'men don't have that luxury. OL'men can face so many 'looks' that they have toby JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
In a no chance of a return situation why not have your best hands back there? It doesn't mean Tutu, or Funk, or anyone else has 'bad' hands... it's simply the safest bet. Hell, if Rob Havenstein had the best hands I'd put him back there, why they hell not? It's not like he's going to go renegade and refuse to fair catch. :laughing - JamesJMby JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
I found that interesting... but was not heartened by it. I continue to believe it's an ongoing problem... not a back breaker but certainly an Achilles heel when facing the stronger competition in the NFL. I also continue to believe it's a 'scheme' issue more than a personnel issue. Although it's possible it could turn out to be both. No solution from me here... do you sacrifice someby JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com

I know little of the Colts myself... actually.. outside of the NFC I know little about any of the other teams. Big time stars? Yes.. but that's about it. I do not play FF... have very little interest in doing... BUT.... those who do are VERY knowledgeable about other teams, they have to be! Each week I will look into the opponent we'll be facing. Far less often I will 'scout', (if that'by JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com

I cannot force myself to pull for any player other than a Ram.. not in competition. Sure, there are other players I like and I wish them well, I hope they do well... as long as it's not against the Rams... even in FF. Even more: I cannot bet against the Rams... which is why I don't get into pools, (except one, with my grandsons). But even there I'm taking the Rams every week.. no matter whaby JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com

what I wonder is if, make that when, the Rams play a subpar game.... how soon after will we see a this:by JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
we'll see him this year in the situations you mention but ALSO in the Red Zone. I don't think we have a surer, quicker, read for Stafford when down near the goal line. We have others, for sure, but if what I saw in preseason is any indication Tutu will be unstoppable - like that play Seattle had to win the SB but was intercepted.. Tutu makes that play.by JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
even if I did play silly with it. :laughing If our WR corp is that deep and our LT position is not.. both critical needs, (next year)... would your solution be worth it, necessary? I would say maybe, as a last resort. There is no avenue I would not explore to address that situation, however before making that move.. and frankly - even if no other remedy were found I still doubt I'd pull thatby JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
