Quotejoram Writer fauls to mention that the rams forgot to block Yeah, no punter in the WORLD would have executed that kick as the defender went right up the middle untouched. But sure...let's blame it on Dixon. For crying out loud, ITS A PUNTER!!!! Remember when Hekker was our best weapon? Should the Rams invest money in th offense or the guy that cleans up when the offense fails? Who caresby Leoram - RamsFootballFans.com

I'm glad you pointed that out. I think the suggestion that he doesn't belong there is ludicrous! Um, didn't this team just win a chip? It's one game. But believe me....he's embarrassed. The fire is litby Leoram - RamsFootballFans.com
What a grumpy old man he has become. I love it...honest to a fault. Say what you want of him as a leader as I don't like his style personally, but the man knows QB play. It's so nice to see the Whiners in such poor handsby Leoram - RamsFootballFans.com

It's one thing to have a "special connection" with one receiver and quite another to have good connections with several. A QB can have extensive understanding of route shapes, option route choices, adjustments, scramble rules, etc...and this indicates his ceiling. But what about the "other" receivers, doesn't he have the responsibility to work well with them too? Of course.by Leoram - RamsFootballFans.com

Funny, I posted a similar thread a month ago on another forum. Warner was uncanny but that squad was so loaded, even Marc Bulger had Pro Bowl stats even when the talent was depleted. That team went for the jugular and Warner was a special part of that. Stafford's run in the playoffs last year was extraordinary. Those clutch moments at the end of the last three games were all instant classics.by Leoram - RamsFootballFans.com
I will say this, I've been an OLine honk since the 70's and still celebrate the great Ram linemen of yore. I expected our OLine would be a problem last year and I was dead wrong. Though I have similar "feelings" about this year's version, I'm going to temper them as their ability to "coach up" linemen has been excellent. That's the good news...they recognize and develop betterby Leoram - RamsFootballFans.com
Yes, that was quite enjoyable. Hard to articulate how great AD is as a football player, but this comes closeby Leoram - RamsFootballFans.com
Normally I internally eye roll fanboy posts but I actually allowed myself to enjoy this one because...it made perfect sense. I do fear he underestimates the 9'ers but I also believe Lance is even less a question mark than their OLine. If it's as bad as I suspect, with Wags and Jones in the middle, those boys ain't running on the Rams anymore. I too see a 2018 like run through the division. Theby Leoram - RamsFootballFans.com
Don't sleep on Williams. Deep down, I think McVay believes he is the guy. When D Farr compares him to Matt Forte and Roger Craig.... well, that caught my interest. Let's see how this plays out...they were right and most of us were wrong about the OLine last year. Maybe the RB and OLB rooms are better than we know just yet.by Leoram - RamsFootballFans.com
Gladiators we're not charged for murder because the purpose of their performance was violence. Hockey players aren't charged because fighting is an approved part of the entertainment. Boxers? MMA?

I don't know how many people here have played wide receiver, but the ability to adjust back like he did there is an elite skill...the ONLY one I actually possessed. One can peek at the ball in the air going up and feel where to go and then make the final adjustment in the last half second. He didn't stay on his feet because he outran the ball a couple feet. That special skill is what set Isaac Brby Leoram - RamsFootballFans.com
The difference isn't McVay this year. He certainly established a culture and a standard but it's the leadership of guys like AD, Kupp, Stafford, Wagner, and Ramsey that really sets them apart. They aren't just elite talents...they are elite workers. I haven't bet on the Rams since 2004 but I would this year save one probably...health.

Yeah, that works really well for the Dodgers. Arm issues are sooooo unpredictable. Stafford's throwing motion isn't going to change. Matthew is a warrior but the body still has its vulnerability. Here's hoping for the bestby Leoram - RamsFootballFans.com
The way that man takes care of his body, the love he has from and for Pittsburgh, and the amazing openness between Aaron and the Rams brass lends me to believe it's probable AD goes in 3 years and gives them some good years.

QuoteClassicalwit Can any of our RBs actually make it through an NFL season healthy? Noby Leoram - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRFL That you are in the minority. I also have written that his throws are poor and he was bailed out by McC winning balls and fortunate flags. I'v seen many posters dismiss his arm. Don't think I have seen anyone defend it. BTW. What the hell are the SD (I figure they're still SD) teaching their CBs? They repeatedly committed egregious PI fouls. Aggressively. Without hesitation.

QuoteClassicalwit Do you think Noteboom can be at least as good as Whitworth was the last two years? Joe will never be Whit but he's better than average and with good health, performs to a similar level as Havenstein but with near mirror differences.

Quotegeorge_allen sorry to be so negative again but seems like more coach-speak to me. the rams run game was anemic. and bruss didn't do much in pass blocking. he's not a bust but he's not the next best thing to sliced bread either......

QuoteKillrazor QuoteClassicalwit The Rams like Benny's toughness in the run game.)))) I think Harris is getting cut.

Hasn't Oldnotdead been down on Havenstein for awhile? I've never understood that. He must see more than I do of the developing players to make such a leap that next year will be the best in the division with 5 players that last year at one point were all backups or in college.by Leoram - RamsFootballFans.com
