QuoteRamstien The key is being ready to play ball when the season starts and staying healthy which seemed to be a big part of the problem, last year. I know they have a tough schedule, but I believe they could win 8 or 9 games. Excellent point, Ramstein. I agree that Rams weren’t ready on opening day last year and I lay the blame at the feet of the various coaches, starting with McVay. Buby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
I’ll never understand their disconnect on the ‘22 and the ‘23 Rams OL’s. It’s beyond apples and oranges stuff, more like apples and kangaroos. The OL was a MASH unit by game 4 last year. But this year it’s gonna look something like this: Boom/Jackson Avila/Jackson Avila/Shelton Bruss/Anchrum/McClendon Hav FOUR different and much better players than started 12 of the 17 games lastby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
I think they’re gonna surprise a few teams, tbh. Here’s my thinking… QB. Is there a better NFC QB than a healthy Stafford? Hurts, maybe? But Stafford proved he was mister ‘steal-your-soul’ in ‘21 when protected. Surely a top 7-10 QB, don’t you think? Probably better, imo. RB. Akers seemed to step up to next level in last 5 games and that was behind a patchwork OL. He was best in league dby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteJamesJM McVay, at least McVay but perhaps others in the war room, saw Bennett as a potential #1.... NOT as a predestined career long #2. I don't think they take him otherwise. And obviously I do not mean this coming season. Goes without saying that there is no certainty in a drafted QB.... so the war room didn't bet the future on him but that doesn't mean they don't see him as somewhatby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Quoteden-the-coach This was the one pick that I raised an eyebrow because I am not his biggest fan, but if Bennett offers a viable option backing up Stafford with the ability to win games if called upon, I will gladly dine on crow accordingly. Would you concede that Bennett is an upgrade over Wolford/Perkins, den? And has a higher ceiling? And that backup QB was a need? And he willby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com

They are their own worst enemies. And they get no sympathy from me since they keep taking self inflicted wounds. This Aaron Rodgers acquisition is particularly delicious. I’m gonna savor that one for years. Lol.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteClassicalwit I think we're playing games with ourselves if we think the Rams will be competitive this season in any form. The defensive front has no talent whatsoever outside of Aaron Donald. I see a bad moon rising. You is Hyperbole King for a day, Classical. Lol.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Quoteden-the-coach Now I don't know why, I guess it is because I never really felt highly of him, truly felt he was a ham & egger plus was not impressed with him from the neck up either. I guess, it is going to take him to lead the Horns to a great victory for me to change my mind on him and I have to trust the Ram front office knows more then me.

Ranking the 5 Worst NFL Rosters Ahead of 2023 OTAs Brent Sobleski The saying "on any given Sunday" exists because not all NFL rosters are created equal.

QuoteLMU93 ...from the outside looking in I don't really blame him having that assessment. The starting 5 he lists has a LT coming off an Achilles tear, a rookie LG, a center that has missed 34 of their last 57 regular season games, and basically a rookie RG. The only steady presence where you know what you have is Havenstein. You're not going to rank that unit very high... Now of course persoby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Just a brief setup on Jrry32. He is a draft guru from another board and is highly respected as such over there. So his opinions carry great weight with me. Here’s Jrry32… small guy with a slight build, but he's a tough dude who will stand and deliver in the face of pressure. He's an underrated athlete. A 4.67 40 doesn't fully capture his mobility. He accelerates quickly, and he's very agileby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
