That's a bit of poor form regarding Muchison I think - 2 months ago
He was a waiver claim and has cost us very little money and has given us good rotational snaps. Will he make the team again this year, who knows, but saying good riddance is a bit flippant/dismissive.by db - RamsFootballFans.com

I'm not saying their defensive sets/structure will change, but I can tell you for sure what specifically has been discussed in the building, which is in the past few years they spent a great deal of the defensive front game plan being around how to isolate Donald with 1 on1's. That was literally at the top of their game plan every week. That will necessarily change of course, and they believe/hby db - RamsFootballFans.com
draft grades are ... - 4 months ago
... obviously foolishness at this juncture, they are all "incomplete" and have no bearing on anything except fan hype/clicks. Teams all do draft "post mortems" but they don't do them until 2-3 years afterwards, and they are primarily a grade on their process/decision-making of each pick and what they missed or hit on and why. And not just their own picks, but successful pickby db - RamsFootballFans.com

True to a point, but having been to a few of these and knowing scouts that attend, it's actually more valuable than you would think but for different reasons. From a throwing perspective, there's minimal to glean, but in that more relaxed environment you get more direct access to talk with them, talk with teammates, see how they interact, talk with lower level assistant coaches, etc. A lot of phoby db - RamsFootballFans.com
Re: Would the RAMS consider going 4-3? - 5 months ago
As you mention in your last point, I think it comes down to how versatile they feel Young is. He is way too talented to take off the field. He's great in space and on the rush, but could he be stout against the run as a 4-3 end? Possibly for brief stretches. I think it would very intriguing to draft Verse or Latu who are bigger and could handle either. Having Young and Latu/Verse who rarelyby db - RamsFootballFans.com
ahh... - 5 months ago
Was waiting for this topic as its actually an interesting and timely one. On paper, you can make the argument that we are better suited for a 4-3, with Turner as a 3-tech and Brown on the inside with him. Young had some evals prior to the draft that he might be better with a hand on the ground, although he seems light for that, but he's got a big frame. Hoecht is certainly more suited to be aby db - RamsFootballFans.com

thank you for saying that - 5 months ago
It's truly is embarrassing at times to read certain posters. From the constant "he sucks, they stink, he's too short, blah blah blah" to the "AD is a spoiled brat and it's Snead's fault he retired", it routinely borders on the asinine. I guess every fan thinks/hopes their fan base is smarter than the others, but unfortunately its not true. It's just a representative sample sizby db - RamsFootballFans.com
exactly right - 8 months ago
It's hilarious when an old Ram becomes available and everybody screams "pick him up!" Really? So who are we going to get rid of on the DL? Its a zero sum game people. He is not better than Turner or Brown and we'd have to absorb his contract if we claim him.by db - RamsFootballFans.com
no offense to these AI written articles... - 9 months ago
...and certainly none towards Ryan Wendell as he is a good young coach, but the stabilizing of the OL has a lot to do with the experience of Mike Munchak, who was brought in and is still a consultant to McVay and the OL staff. Those types of deeper details matter. After the OL challenges the past couple of years, McVay was not going to leave it all to Wendell.by db - RamsFootballFans.com
exactly correct - 9 months ago
But that's not what #%$&@ on this board want to hear, they'd rather stick with "he's on drugs, he should be fired, he and Snead don't know what they're doing" and other mindless drivel. Its easier to be intellectually lazy and just be dismissive instead of understanding how hard this is and appreciate the progress and consistency.

Re: Kobie Turner - 1 year ago
Yes, aware of that of course, but the point is he is 6'2" 288lbs. If you thoughts Gaines was undersized at the nose, wait until they run right at Turner and Donald. There is no one on the interior on the roster with size other than B. Brown.by db - RamsFootballFans.com
surprised at DL and Edge - 1 year ago
We were never going to claim a QB to our 53, but I'm surprised at DL and Edge. As painful as it is, take a team like the 49ers, or the Eagles. Their DL's are stacked. Surely one of the guys they let go are better than guys we have - Earnest Brown we've released before and was on our PS, same with Jonah Williams, Larrell Murchison was a waiver pickup last year. Just take the NT position - Bobbby db - RamsFootballFans.com

Re: well said - 1 year ago
Great point regarding the waiver position. This is the year to use it in earnest. Lets pick up at least one young DL and one young OLB with greater physicality and upside than what we have. If we can't stop the run and rush the passer, all this is mute.by db - RamsFootballFans.com
What we should be talking about... - 1 year ago
Look, I get it, there are all types of fans on this site. Some who may even love the garbage clickbait articles that constantly get posted. But lets put some effort into what is really at hand. At most positions, we are in decent shape. We may not have the best depth, but that is life with a young team. Our QB, RB, TE, WR, ILB, CB, S, and OL rooms are pretty much set other than the bottomby db - RamsFootballFans.com

Incorrect and unfair - 1 year ago
Everybody should already know that she is contractually limited as to what she can share. She cannot share specifics about reps, positions, formations, usage, injuries, etc etc, unless it is approved by the Rams and her editor.

Was for a potential comp pick. He was a higher round draft choice and established some early value a couple of years ago as both a RT and a G. But he regressed badly, I'm told his attitude is not great, and he couldn't even stay in the lineup this year with all the injuries to the OL. Good move finally cutting bait.

it actually makes sense - 2 years ago
He's a guy they can easily move back and forth from the 53 to the PS and no one will claim him. This week they need him for special teams because of all the roster volatility. In a week or two he can easily be cut for someone they want to look at, where they need depth, someone coming off IR, etc, and then he'll go on the PS.by db - RamsFootballFans.com
