QuoteJamesJM Not saying YOU said that, JY, although you may have - but it's definitely been said by MANY. I'm not seeing it..... except.... size for sure. Corum seems far more the type who utilizes lateral movement, footwork, and Kyren far more likely to use his power. Sure, both can execute both, nearly all RB's can.... but I'm referring to their individual running instincts. So I'veby JimYoungblood53 - RamsFootballFans.com

Quote3030 I find Rozeboom to be an enigma. He's not all that good. Guessing Rams will replace him as soon as they canby JimYoungblood53 - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotemtramfan He's about the same size as Adam Archuleta, who was an effective box safety, so-so in coverage, and a coulda been, if he were a wee bit bigger, linebacker in other systems. I haven't seen his tape - if he could cover TE's and RB's as needed while making his living roaming around and thumping people on run downs, hmm... he might become a real used ful piece in the McVay/Shula D -by JimYoungblood53 - RamsFootballFans.com
spend my time watching actual football when I watch football. Seems a lot of layoffs in sports industry, and those with sites desparae for clicks ... maybe podcasts are taking about from TV ... there are only so many hours people can consume footballby JimYoungblood53 - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteCoy Bacon Fleeced is the wrong word, but overpaid is not. I'm not going to do the research but a lot of people have said for several years now that Snead always overpays. I distinctly remember getting taken by NE a few times and guys on our board began to say that we should never do trades with NE because we always get the short end of the stick. Snead is not a guy I'd want in chargeby JimYoungblood53 - RamsFootballFans.com
NFL Network apparently pulls plug on Total Access Old networks never die, they just fade away. NFL Network, launched by the league on November 1, 2003, is fading fast. First came the bizarre decision to take a popular morning show off the air for months (at a minimum) and relocate it from one coast to the other. Now comes a round of post-draft layoffs that apparently will end Total Aby JimYoungblood53 - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteNewMexicoRam Les said "Let's not screw around, make an offer that they can't refuse and lock this in right now." That is what national media is not getting, I don't think. It's like the analytics guys ... you MUST go for it here --- the CHART says so.

divide trades into A. For Players B. For picks I cannot think of any in category B where Rams got fleeced -- the only one even close is Fiske. If you are talking about the picks for Miller, Ramsey, Stafford then you can make a case ... Rams pay a lot. Too much? Subjective but without those, Rams don't get ring. As for picks? You cannot say Rams don't get good value for theiby JimYoungblood53 - RamsFootballFans.com

Quotesince68 Would Kyle Van Noy fit as 2nd LB next to Jones or is he just an edge? He's older and maybe slower now, but cheap, had a good year at Baltimore and good veteran presence I think he's still available as FA ? and in his prime he was easily able to play ILBer plus OLBer ... so yes, he has skillsto do it.

QuoteRamsDynasty people keep saying we overpayed, according to the pick point scale how badly did we overpay? Meaning for the capitol we put up could we just on point value say have gotten the #34 pick? I understand the Rams could have easily offered the same package to everyone from #33 to #39 and the Panthers were the first to bite but I am just curious.

Link Last spring, Sugarman was traveling through the Southwest when he got a call from scouting director James Gladstone. Could he add this receiver from BYU to his schedule in between schools? Western area scout Vito Gonella kept raving about Puka Nacua in meetings, and when coaches got to his tape, a few gave him “hot” badges despite his grouping in a lower-ranked cluster of prospects.by JimYoungblood53 - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteDeadpool He was almost in my top 220, if he was an inch taller and 10 lbs heavier, he makes my list. @ 6' even and 228 lbs, he was just too light to put in the top 6 rounds. So I had a 7th round pick on him. He's yet another high motor guy (beginning to see a pattern) His Oregon St film was better, he had a few INTs and pass breakups, he got dinged at LSU so, kind of a down year He hasby JimYoungblood53 - RamsFootballFans.com

"Most NFL teams have a data and information processing system, usually constructed in-house, into which scouts, coaches, medical staff, front office executives and others input notes on players.

QuoteLaDoc I believe the vast majority of posters on this board are far more informed and have a better pulse of the Rams than these national reporters. Of course excluding Jordan and our own. and I didn't listen, not going to subscribe, but we also have to remember that there are fansites--- like Jake Ellenbogen's and Blaine's etc .. that are pollyanaish.
