I think this is a mistake. As for playing the Raiders...do we really run anything but vanilla anyway? What specifically are the Raiders going to learn by Goff playing for a quarter or so? We play division foes twice a year and are able to overcome "familiarity issues". Starters should get live reps. I think injuries are just as likely to happen in game 1 because of not pby jemach - RamsFootballFans.com
you need live reps to get ready for the season.by jemach - RamsFootballFans.com
in preseason game 1, the starters played up to a quarter in preseason game 2, they play short of a half in preseason game 3, they played almost 3 quarters (the dress rehearsal) in preseason game 4, you were lucky to see them 1 or 2 series. Belichick is old school like Parcells was. He knows you need to play to be ready in game 1. If our guys only play one preseason game, I could sby jemach - RamsFootballFans.com

Ben Roethlisberger IF IF IF IF IF...he stays healthy. He is already in concussion protocol. He can be had in the 8-9 round. He has one of the easiest schedules for a passing standpoint. Plus...remember this...in the playoffs (weeks 14-16) he plays Oakland, New England and New Orleans...all average to below average pass defense teams in 2017.by jemach - RamsFootballFans.com
we play one of the hardest schedules in the NFL against defenses.by jemach - RamsFootballFans.com
he wasn't drafted once. Not once. It is what it is. I'm in a 12 team league and Goff is viewed as a mid tier QB. I don't make up the rankings. Almost all teams in a twelve team league draft 1 QB. But, I'll take the hater tag! :spintoungeby jemach - RamsFootballFans.com
and the number of FGs based on the distance, do give an indicator. I would agree that in and of it self, it may not be linked to a red zone issue. However, my eyes didn't lie to me. We had issues. Once again, without a Watkins as a red zone threat, someone is going to have to step it up. I looked it up and interestingly, Brandin Cooks had 8 red zone TDs last year compared to Watkinsby jemach - RamsFootballFans.com
Good luck on that 6. You should be able to get him after round 10...seriously...Unless you're with Rams fans "homers". I'm in a twelve team league and he likely won't be drafted. Also, I've done 8 practice drafts and he hasn't been drafted once.by jemach - RamsFootballFans.com
A red zone FG is 37 yards or less. In 2013 and 2014, the Zuerlein had 17 FG's inside the 40. In 2017 Zuerlein had 20 FG's inside the 40 with 1 miss Sam Ficken had 2 FG's inside the 40 with 1 miss. We should note that Zuerlein was 12 of 12 from 40-49. I think it's safe to say, we had red zone issues.by jemach - RamsFootballFans.com

Look for lots of activity in the passing game in the middle of the field. Hopefully the young guys step up and the pass rush is what we expect.by jemach - RamsFootballFans.com
No offense but...Easily the most over discussed thing on the forum. It solves nothing. Have a uniform post day once a year on the board and let's move on. I usually don't respond but you kind of asked the question.by jemach - RamsFootballFans.com
Yet insist on 4 pre season games. You see, eliminating preseason games hurts revenue in their pockets. They set up a system to blame players for hits and make them financially responsible so they avoid lawsuits. They set up a contract system where most players bare all the risk. This is a no brainer....preseason games should be cut in half.by jemach - RamsFootballFans.com
Did you play football? Not everyone is Aaron Donald. You need live reps to be ready to go week one.by jemach - RamsFootballFans.com
was a brilliant move. By playing out his contract and not showing up again, Donald forces the Rams to franchise him because they won't get sufficient value in compensation if they lose him as a restricted free agent. So showing up by 8/7 was really moot. If the Rams sign Donald now, he gets his money. If not, he is playing for $6+ million anyway...whether he reported on time or the day beby jemach - RamsFootballFans.com
In the NFL... A similar result would be good. Remember, about 800 yards cane from Gurley so Goff has not shown to be a prolific downfield passer...hopefully this is the year it shows up. He will be ranked in the middle of he pack until he throws/accounts for more than 4500 yards. I would hope he comfortably gets over 4000.by jemach - RamsFootballFans.com
