Because pressure from the outside creates more turnovers giving either the defense or the offense more opportunities to score. Look At Mack's sacks vs Donalds. Mack has had game saving sacks, forced 5 sack fumbles last season. Donald never has.by laram - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteWealthy people don't do that and are actually taught against doing that. I've worked for a guy for 18 yrs who was once one of the richest owners in the NFL, he leaves money on the table ALL the time. I would suggest you read Steve Jobs book (if you haven't already or The Road Ahead by Bill Gates. You get to a point where the deal (process) is more important than the money.

IMO it's not a matter of what most do or don't do...the fact is some players do it. That's a fact and reason enough to accept that it IS done. I know lot's of players that have taken less money to either go to, or stay with a losing team. The fact that it happens is reason enough to not dismiss that it could happen.by laram - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteSuh-weet! QuoteRockRam The first thing to decide is the value of the position and not the player. I don't know who to blame for what has happened in the past 5 years because very little the Fisher regime did made any sense to me, especially on offense. He always talked about, and designed, an 80's offense around power blocking, power running, and super safe passing. Run first and run oby laram - RamsFootballFans.com
It used to be qb's then LT's were the most prized commodities and highest paid. Then somewhere along the way that changed. I wanted to get your perspective on it but I had a recent conversation with someone on this very subject. His opinion was with the proliferation of the shotgun the blindside has been diminished somewhat. Thus LT's aren't valued as much in today's game. The sby laram - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotedzrams QuoteRockRam Think the Pats would ever give $20 mil to a DT? Not on your life. I don't care if he wore a cape and was allergic to Kryptonite. A DT simply cannot affect the outcome of a game as much as several other positions no matter how good that DT is. Want to see how a single player affects outcomes? Watch Brady and Rogers. Want to see another? Just watch a replay of the Ramby laram - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRockRam I'm just a long term football fan with opinions. But I do know something about negotiation. And I know how easy it is to turn it from negotiating into competing. And how easy it is to decide that you are going to come to a solution no matter what assuming there is always a solution to be had.

Quote9er8er The problem there is everybody was running vertical routes and the protection wasn't there to allow the play to develop. Gurley was just getting into position as his safety valve as he's engulfed by Mack.by laram - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRFIP Quotelaram Woody is in the slot completely uncovered. This concerns me, because look at the defensive formation pre-snap. Yeah he looks much like a young QB right there for sure. That look from behind the QB tells it all. Like I said, McVay was the biggest winner last night to ME. He's schemes and play calls are amazing. As the QB grows so with the ability to hit on more stuby laram - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteRFIP Goff built off his Dallas game with a very strong performance. He was poised and accurate. His 2 deep throws were on point. Kupp was wide open but Goff was under immediate pressure from the back side (note: I have ALWAYS hated that play btw!!!) but he stayed cool and delivered. The second one to Watkins was perfectly thrown over his outside shoulder, I couldn't tell by either replay ifby laram - RamsFootballFans.com
Quote9er8er It's possible, likely even, that Goff performed better last night than he had in general in practice. My reading of the situation is that there is too much sensitivity here to critiques of Goff and that in reality the reports on average have been more middle of the road than negative or positive to one side. We saw the same thing last year too, when people looked for reasonsby laram - RamsFootballFans.com

But I can see it out on the field regardless of who's out there, what the score is, or how much time is on the clock. There is a "try hard" that is different from what it has been in the past.

And I think McVay would say the same. He missed Woods down the seam for 6 and he missed Everette running free on a deep out behind Kupp. Gotta look at matchups which I hope he will learn with experience. IF you gotta mismatch you gotta take advantage. This game is all about match-ups. He'll need to improve on that for the regular season.
