Quoteden-the-coach Does McVay resign. Let's say they are 1-4 or 1-5, does he resign before the record gets totally distorted? Many have and I could see it, then they name Raheem Morris as interim coach and it's a lost season and they have a great pick and new Head Coach to start over in 2024. With Lincoln Riley being at the top of their list. Starting off at 1-4 seems unthinkable to me. Fby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteSoCalRAMatic Nice job explaining RAS. Jacob hasn't left yet. We didn't re-sign him yet. He is a FA. Maybe he comes back. We don't know if these guys were drafted because of their high RAS.

Quotemtramfan Thanks for your insights, Classic. I haven't seen enough snaps from either to judge that closely. I still wonder: If Harris displays the lost in space tendencies you note, why in the name of the amythest handle of the great horned spoon is he being coached up as a tight end? Wouldn't some intense film study and prtactice reps as a WR help him overcome this shortcoming? I dunno,by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com

LA Rams experiment drafting athletic rookies in 2021 failed Bret Stuter When the LA Rams entered the 2021 NFL Draft, the team was filled with positive momentum.

Quotemerlin Hopkins is a pending FA after the season so even if they were to get him going finally he'd depart in the offseason. Long meanwhile has another year of team control and also is more of an all-around type than Hopkins. So he'll probably beat him out on the depth chart this year as well and send him packing. My guess is the Rams draft a TE too, and maybe pretty high. So it'll be:by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteAlbaNY_Ram The Rams are currently $11.57M under the cap. I've seen where they need $7M to $10M for their rookie class, leaving somewhere between $1.57M and $4.57M to spend.

LA Rams hard-ball negotiations yields $3.2 million in salary cap space Bret Stuter The LA Rams need salary cap space.

Yeah, injuries were both historic and catastrophic. But there were many other self inflicted wounds as well. McVay was forced to rush his asst coach hires from a barrel of leftovers. Honestly, aside from injuries, this might have been the biggest problem of all. Irrational play calling and game plans. Arrogance or complacency in the SB afterglow. Excessive use by Morris of ultra soby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com

Why the Rams may be waiting until after the draft to sign free agents e Los Angeles Rams have been very strategic about the way they add talent.

Not a fan of this move. Rams clearly haven’t learned their lesson regarding Allen’s knee. Or of how devastating OL players on IR can be.
