QuoteRockRam Since he's injury prone I would imagine they'll be selective on his routes. Limiting a receivers routes because he's had an injury history. This is football man!!by laram - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteRFIP QuoteRams_81 In today's NFL you need to make plays. There have been multiple moves this off season, but this Watkins one is the best by far. Even if he never gets healthy, the attitude and atmosphere it creates to acquire a top playmaker of Watkins creates energy and excitement which equals a win. The Rams go from the worst offense in the NFL from last season to an above averageby laram - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRockRam If you are Robert Woods you have to be thinking......say, WHAT??!! He can't get out from underneath Watkins shadow. Funny that the Rams have acquired essentially the Bills 2 starting WRs. Makes you think what's wrong with this picture? I'm going to ask him.by laram - RamsFootballFans.com

Especially a back who wasn't used that way. 100 touches in 27 games during the period you cover. What's that less than 4 touches per game?? You do know the Rams version of an NFL offense set the league back 20 years right? If so what are we really talking about here?by laram - RamsFootballFans.com
A team player who brought toughness and professionalism to the team. I'm surprised a team like the Pats didn't pick him up, he's the type of swiss army knife player that they covet. How can a guy that gets you 28 yds per return, avg 4.4 ypc on limited carries, and an excellent pass defender be overrated? Nobody here has ever suggested he was anything more than what he was.

QuoteThe defensive backs are extremely aggressive If there’s been one standout group in training camp, it’s the defensive backs.

It does for some, it never does for others. As Jimmy said I think its kinda hard to teach, although you could have the qb count beats in his head. Back peddle plant...123 release. But who knows if he'll ever be able to identify where the openings are within that time period. I dunno.by laram - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteSpeaking of seeing the field better, Goff needs to be careful about picking up blitzes. On one particular play, it was obvious that he wanted to throw to Kupp out of the left slot position. He eyed it the whole way, only to see Kupp double-teamed. By the time he went to his second read, the corner blitz from the other side would have annihilated him. This lack of awareness concerns me.

QuoteIn any event if they are right now still short of Suh's money this late in the game, then it is way past initial offer stage. Since we're questioning who said they were short? I certainly didn't. The deal has been on the table for awhile now and there was a counter. As I said in a post weeks ago contrary to what was being reported they were way off on length and value.

Quotezn Quotelaram The Ram did not low ball him, they gave him an offer comparable to Suh's deal. . No speculation. It will come out at some point so you can refer back.

The Rams did not want to tie up that kinda coin in TWO corners. So they gambled and it backfired. Donald's situation is totally divergent to the Jenkins deal.

You list 3-4 examples that don't even fit the criteria. For clarification: "The best defense for the last 5-6 years" That means sustained excellence not some one offs. You could do that with just about anything, can't you? Let's see if you can actually come up with a defense that demonstrated sustained excellence without those positions you listed.

Quoteno name Quotedzrams QuoteRamFanEsq He is, in my opinion, far and away the most underrated player on the Rams. He is the guy who takes on blocks, clogs the middle, and opens things up for others (including Aaron Donald). No way I'd let him go... I like Brock but no way would I say that he opens things up others. He really wasn't used in a traditional NG type of way. There have gamesby laram - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRockRam If DT is so important (especially the kind you're both speaking about....the pass rushing kind), then what team that possessed that player has won the Superbowl in the past 10 years? The past 20 years? The past 30 years? Besides a GREAT pass rushing DT might get 10 sacks. No DE/OLB is going to be seen as a great player for 10 sacks. It has to be somewhere between 15 and 20.

QuoteRFL They are question marks. They COULD go either way. There are indicators that point toward capability. I think the original post was in essence correct. I think I would say that several of these guys COULD WELL BE weapons rather than decisively claiming it. (I doubt Tavon will ever be a real weapon.)

The league is setup for young receivers to come right in and have immediate impacts. If memory serves there were about 24-28 receivers that put up 1000 yards or close to it last season, where all of them veterans?
