Out of contention for MVP. I have nothing against Wilson, I respect him in fact, but I won't shed any tears if this is the case.by RantoulRam - RamsFootballFans.com
Sure, years like this year are frustrating, but I think scrapping the divisions would detract from the NFL overall. I would strongly agree with seeding the playoffs, however, to reward the best records and punish those who got in by dint of being the best of a terrible division.by RantoulRam - RamsFootballFans.com
PIT isn't bad, but they are very imperfect. We need to win all of our winnable games, and a few of our challenging games, to make the playoffs in a very competitive NFC.by RantoulRam - RamsFootballFans.com
Not a lot of creativity here when it comes to NFC predictions - I think every single writer chose the six teams that would go to the playoffs if the season ended today. Therefore - not a single writer even has the Rams making the playoffs. Rams are shut out of the predictions aside from a few votes for Kupp as Comeback Player of the Year.by RantoulRam - RamsFootballFans.com
He looked bad, real bad, at times in preseason. But it really is hard to tell when a player is surrounded by scrubs. Maybe the coaches were right after all.by RantoulRam - RamsFootballFans.com
I'm not an Eli Manning fan. I think his play the last two years has been below average, I don't find him a likable person, and I still think his whole draft thing kind of stunk. But all that said, I would like to honor Eli, as he is benched by the Giants, for what he did. He beat Tom Brady and Bellicheat twice in the Super Bowl. One of those times prevented the Cheatriots from having theby RantoulRam - RamsFootballFans.com
I'm with you. Well I won't be with you, but I REALLY REALLY REALLY want to win that game, and win it by a lot. Let those loser whiner fans just shut the heck up. Guess what losers? You lost because your team could not hold a two score lead despite your fans making it the most hostile environment I had ever seen in a pro game. You lost because you could not stop the rams from taking it theby RantoulRam - RamsFootballFans.com
I think he physically is suited to be a returner, just don't think his decision making is up to par. Its better to take a fair catch or touchback than do something dumb and make a turnover.by RantoulRam - RamsFootballFans.com
a. We won the NFC championship so the question is nonsense on the face of it. He is already a championship QB. b. No one wins a championship alone. c. Has anyone else noticed that for each of the last six seasons he has gotten better season to season. And that he is still 16 years younger than Tom Brady? Next non-question.by RantoulRam - RamsFootballFans.com
I like and believe in McVay's viewpoint that you do what you think is best to prepare your team for the regular season. But I am worried about his pulling all the starters for all the preseason games. I can't argue with results. We did it last year, went 13-3, had good health and got to the SB. But honestly, his policy is kind of a disaster for the NFL. Fans already hate preseason, and iby RantoulRam - RamsFootballFans.com
First vote would be to beat them again in the playoffs, soundly and without controversy. Second vote to stomp them in Week 2 and make them doubt themselves and shut the hell up about PI. Third vote - Beat Seahawks at Seattle. Like Sean Payton is a coach that I respect but that I kind of hate. I love watching him lose in front of the 12th man. 4th - Bears Just to show that we learned frby RantoulRam - RamsFootballFans.com
He was always a good read - loved it when he covered NFC West for ESPN. Seems like ever since he has been behind paywalls.by RantoulRam - RamsFootballFans.com
Maybe Kiser will be the next Kuechlyby RantoulRam - RamsFootballFans.com
If we only get 80% of the production from Kiser that Kuechly gives, I can live with that.by RantoulRam - RamsFootballFans.com
1. I'm pretty sure that Noteboom started and played the entire week 17 49ers game last year. And at times he looked not just good but very good in the run game.by RantoulRam - RamsFootballFans.com
Having some free time recently, I have been rewatching some games from 2018 on Youtube. Here are a number of random observations that I made: 1. John Kelly actually got into live action with the starters more than I remembered, at least in the games I watched. He played a lot of the final 49ers game. So....the guys showed nothing. He seemed to have a slow first step or no instincts or wasby RantoulRam - RamsFootballFans.com
I always hoped that someone would recognize my screenname and I could find a board friend to watch games with locally. I have literally no knowledgable Rams fans to watch games with and that bothers me. My kids all just get bored of discussing it with me. I used to be PeoriaRa, which was meant to be PeoriaRam but I misspelled when I entered it.by RantoulRam - RamsFootballFans.com
He may very well be the best pure passer in NFL history. But best player ever? I think that is a stretch.by RantoulRam - RamsFootballFans.com
So much of the Rams culture shows through in this article. Posted previously by Rambill but I thought it deserved its own thread so people didn't miss it. Watch both videos.by RantoulRam - RamsFootballFans.com
It gives you a sense of the behind the scenes with the Rams, and a very good idea why players love to play for this team. Do not skip the two videos - they are the best part of the article. If we can keep Wade Philips and Bones working with McVay for a few years together, I think we really have a top top coaching staff.by RantoulRam - RamsFootballFans.com
I think this is overthinking this pick. He is a versatile player who can backup T and G for now. I doubt that it is an indictment of Noteboom, just a move for depth and a potential starter.by RantoulRam - RamsFootballFans.com
Henderson looks great, don't get me wrong. But he gets phenomenal downfield blocking from both OL guys at the second level and his WRs. Someone is doing a nice job coaching that at Memphis. Also was it only me, or did those grey pants look really nice on TV?by RantoulRam - RamsFootballFans.com
That man is either a heavy drinker, or, more likely, he just needs to use sunblock when he is out in the sun. That is skin cancer waiting to happen man. Wear a hat or use sunblock!by RantoulRam - RamsFootballFans.com
They talk in code, like all FO people do. But they actually provide more substantive answers than most. McVay is the anti-Belichik when it comes to answering questions. OK, so who knows about Lance Dunbar? More than once they said, well there was something they want at RB that they tried to get from Dunbar, and now they see whatever that is in Henderson. While at one point McVay almost admby RantoulRam - RamsFootballFans.com
without getting called for PI? On a huge play in a huge game? That is what NRC gives us.by RantoulRam - RamsFootballFans.com
In some ways, I think the OL is the most impactful position group aside from QB. We have been blessed in the last two years to have a consistent, talented group that was not dominant but was very proficient and probably at worst top 10 in the league and likely much better. If Noteboom and Allen will allow us to stay at that level, then fine, pick up a few more developmental players later inby RantoulRam - RamsFootballFans.com

After reading yours, I have to go back and think about adding in offensive line play. It really is key - possibly more key to offense than secondary play is to defense.by RantoulRam - RamsFootballFans.com
