QuoteRampage2K- and Rodgers had some of his best years after he turned 35, so I don't get why people are so quick to write off a baller like Stafford who has said he has no plans on retiring any time soon and is excited to get back to winning with the Rams....let's pump the brakes on sending him off to a retirement home Donald is too good and too smart to walk away from his highest yearly salaby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Here’s BonifayRam… The best fix I can come up with on the LT post to beef & power it up from what it was early last season is to go with Alaric Jackson in OTA's & training Camp as #1. AJ should be the strongest & healthiest of the two Jackson/Noteboom. Takes the pressure off on Noteboom after that bad injury he had in the 6th gm. Let him work with team #2. I want Noteboom back tby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Here’s BonifayRam… After listening to McVay he talked about OG Tremayne Anchrum a lot & very little about RG Logan Bruss. I would project that Chicogo last year 5th rd pick Zac Thomas LG/LT who got a full season of practice with the Bears & after signing with the Rams in November might be far ahead of Bruss.

QuoteLMU93 Basically said they could be looking for an inexpensive veteran and address the OL further in the Draft. But that everyone on the OL that was hurt are on a good path for training camp. She speculated a 2023 OL as: LT Jackson, LG Noteboom, C Shelton, RG Bruss/Anchrum, RT Havenstein with backups at this point Arcuri and whoever loses the RG job.

QuoteRamsdude QuoteRams43 That makes me wary right from the start. Secondly, is he even a big upgrade over Jackson? Really? The Bengals signed Orlando Brown to play his position or at the very least he would've had to fight for it. He didn't want to do that. :beercan What article?by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
As the late, great Chick Hearn would say, “It’s Nervous Time” for Rams D as we look down the road. And the public strategy has been stated that offseason focus is on the O. Go figure. As I posted elsewhere, I see a minimum of the following for D this offseason via either draft or 2nd tier FA: Edge (Hoecht starts on other side) DL (probably draft) CB (maybe 2, as you say) S (later in dby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com

Bear with me here because I’m gonna engage in some outside-the-box thinking that might coincide with Rams lean offseason strategy proposed. Assuming Rams want to minimize FA expenditures and both present and future cap costs so that they can go hog wild in ‘24. What if they think OL is fixed after extending Shelton?

QuoteLMU93 He was a massive surprise to me in 2021. I thought he wouldn't make the team let alone earn the starting job and play well all year. He has talent. Works hard. All that. But (going back to mid-2019) he's missed 34 of their last 57 regular season games. There's no way they can rely on him to be their 2023 starter. I think they'll give him a chance to prove them wrong and maybe atby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com

Quoteoldschoolramfan Me personally......OLINE,OLINE for the first 2 picks. Rams give Stafford time to throw. Rams give RB's lanes to run through.

QuoteLMU93 With the cap moves they have made and now retaining Shelton it buys them time with Allen. They could, for example, keep him through the Draft and see who they end up adding there. Releasing Allen before June 1 saves them $2M. Or they bring Allen into camp, see how he holds up, how others around him play, etc. and make a decision then. Release him in August and they save $4.4M.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com

LA Rams display early discipline, but will it pay off? The LA Rams are typically not big spenders in the annual NFL Free Agency market.

Well, we’ve both seen Snead/McVay fix subpar OL’s before in ‘17 and in ‘20 in one offseason. That tells us 2 things. 1. They are perfectly capable of recognizing when OL needs a ‘fix’. 2. They are definitely capable of executing the necessary trades, FA, or draft to do so in one offseason. Don’t get hung up on Boom starting at LOT.
