QuoteRamstien I have often wondered how much influence McVay has with Snead on making these top picks. That Tutu pick has McVay's fingerprints all over it McVay’s influence is immense. He literally describes the exact types of players he wants in minute detail to Snead. Snead has complimented him on this skill in multiple interviews. Then Snead’s job is simplified down to filtering out thby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com

Yes, he’s an elite playmaker but he certainly didn’t come cheaply. Rams now have more draft capital and cap dollars to help long term starting next offseason. Plus, there’s CMC’s injury history. It’s a real factor that had to enter into the equation. If he stays healthy then 49ers look like geniuses, although minus some serious draft capital. But if CMC gets hurt and misses significant gameby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
In no particular order… Rams have been swept by a 49er team that is 2-4 against the rest of the league. The quantity and degree of OL injuries right out of the gate. Bobby Evans is our starting LG for 3 games in a row. Wouldn’t Skura or Brewer be better options until Shelton returns? Rivers is our starting RB. The Cam Akers fiascos from start to finish. Note the plural? Sure didn’tby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Here’s fearsomefour… The safety play has been disappointing. The outside pass rush has been non existent. The Rams have seemed to have had communication issues on the back end of the D for years. The best time frame recently was when Weddle was back there keeping guys in line. The continual communication issues in coverage is really frustrating, but, likely to continue. Especially with yby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
From what I understand, Burns is a very nice edge player and young, too. But is he in the Ramsey type territory? I don’t think so, and that was a Ramsey type trade offer. I’m guessing that Snead will ultimately use those 1sts in a more advantageous way.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Tom Pelissero @TomPelissero · Follow The deadline for restructuring contracts to facilitate trades was 3:59 p.m. ET Monday. So, eating money -- as the #Bears did with Roquan Smith and Robert Quinn -- is not an option. Any trades done between now and 4 p.m. will require a new team to take on the existing contract. 7:02 AM · Nov 1, 2022by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Greg Gaines feeling healthy again after shoulder was 'pretty screwed up' for 6 weeks It’s probably not a coincidence that Greg Gaines had his best game of the season in Week 8 against the San Francisco 49ers. After a terrific 2021 season in which he emerged as a key starter up front, posting just one game with a PFF grade above 64 and recording only four total pressures.

QuoteJimYoungblood53 must be spewing some more garbage. He's the one who argued that Morris was running his own scheme and not Staley's scheme.

Just look at the stuff that was posted here by him. Just false. But iby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteRamsdude QuoteRampage2K- and couldn't help but think about the coaching changes on offense..... this offense seems so vanilla with no real imagination at all If McVay isn't calling the plays then it's his fault for not stepping in. I agree, the plays have been the most un-creative plays I have ever seen from a McVay offense. It’s become a Catch-22. Personnel limitations are largely tyby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotedodgerram we still would have not solved the question who should block for him and open holes in the run game. The o-line is the weakest link on this team. So many problems stem from the bad o-line play. No holes in the run game. Not enough protection for the QB to go deep (takes Atwell completely out of the playbook). I am really not convinced it makes much sense to go after Hunt (or aby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteSoCalRAMatic Could be that they are red shirting TTA this season. VJ is a FA after this season and they may not re-sign him. Perhaps they are saving their Ferrari for 2023.

Would it be fair to describe the premium picks for the Rams have largely been ‘pretty good’? Most, if not all are still on the 53 on various teams but nary a stud? Meanwhile, the other teams in our division are finding studs outside the 1st round. Is it our scouting or is it our coaching players up that has caused this shortfall? Or both?

McVay can be a very stubborn mofo. I think Shanny loves it because it makes McVay more predictable and then Shanny takes full advantage. You would think McVay would re-evaluate after the 8 consecutive losses. I’d love to play poker with McVay. Lol.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com

LA Rams did it their way, and lost their 8th straight to the 49ers by Bret Stuter this season. The simple fact is the LA Rams cannot beat them. Regardless of the 49ers’ health, record, or playoff aspirations, they simply need to face the LA Rams for everything to fall into place, for the Rams to challenge them early, for 49er HC Kyle Shanahan and QB Jimmy Garoppolo to see what the Raby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com

Here’s OntarioRam… I am starting to come around to your opinion on Morris (Oldnotdead’s) despite the heavy criticism you sometimes receive for it.

QuoteRam_Ruler The Rams are weirdly very good at finding guys in the fifth, sixth, undrafted, etc. But there are some picks :Gerald Everett, Taylor Rapp, Tutu, van Jefferson (?)
