QuoteRamUK I think some mediocre or average play may be a blessing in disguise. Letting Joyner, Barron and probably Suh walk frees up a ton of cap space to get Goff tied up later on. But would you let Peters walk and free up more and remove the need to extend him? If his form isn't injury related, then I would. Here's what I think the Rams have to avoid at all cost, sunk cost fallacy.by Suh-weet! - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteSpeed_Kills and he got it wrong if I know laram he still doesn't like/love Goff... I'm not talking personally but purely from a football aspect but if he was around I'm sure he would walk that back ... I kinda think he'd tell us how we (strangely!) completely misunderstood his point. That guy wasn't big on acknowledging his mistaken calls, to say the least. And he had some WHOPPERby Suh-weet! - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRockRam The Cowboys are a mediocre team. It's the media that has been playing them up the same way they always try to play up the Niners. The Saints are going to destroy them. Won't be close. :clapby Suh-weet! - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRamgator At the end of 30+ point games. Let's face it...We have been VERY lucky so far. 1. Our Rams are rested 2. They're pretty danged healthy 3. Talib is back (tho probably need a couple games to get it all back) 4. Peters goes back to covering #2 and was trending up anyway 5. Ebu returns after his "breakout" game hopefully having taken to heart what he's really capable 6.by Suh-weet! - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteSaguaro differs from the article as well. They have - Peters - Ok, I go with that. I think with Talib back he could make a difference. Barron - not gonna happen, he is who he is at this point. Suh - Is he pacing himself for the playoffs? Or is he just done as a competitor? You would think with this his best chance to win a title... Reynolds - Reynolds has already stepped up.

QuoteSunTzu_vs_Camus not bad passes per say. The only one I remember that was clearly on Goff was the great interception by the Saints linebacker. Otherwise, there were the tips you mentioned, Gurley coughed up one at the goal line, one bounced off Reynolds into a DB's hands, and he threw a Hail Mary int into the end zone in the first Hawks game, I think. Course, he's had a couple that coby Suh-weet! - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRams43 I think that it would be asinine to even consider trading either of these players. Goodness, both are looking like steals in the 3rd and the 4th, respectively. No way we let such young and inexpensive players get away. A complete non-starter, if you ask me. Picks are nice, but players are what it’s all about. Especially considering injuries. Woods is the only top Rams receiverby Suh-weet! - RamsFootballFans.com
Quoteden-the-coach Hopefully the addition of Fowler has freed him up more, but before Monday Night, it was just last week against the Seahawks where Ebukam missed several tackles in the open field and was pulled because of it. Again, let's hope with Fowler and Talib coming back the defense looks like it did in the first three weeks because that is what is going to be a difference between losingby Suh-weet! - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotezn QuoteSuh-weet! To put it differently, the low-1st they gave up to get Cooks looks pretty valuable to me in light of Snead's recent draft record. I watch the lack of outside rush most of this year and wonder what Snead could do w/the late-1st we won't have. I see Sullivan getting pushed back repeatedly by the middle of KC's DL and wonder what top-flight C Snead could draft w/that 1st. Thby Suh-weet! - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRams_81 Because he is 7 / 11, He is always open. There are some players that just know how to play the game. See Bruce and Holt Kupp is one of those players. It really isn't close.

QuoteABQRam QuoteRamsFanSince69 What about Ebukam's hit causing the Marcus Peters int? And I would count Ebukam stuffing the football (the one that was first called a fumble) as a hit. I think that was Ebukam. .. the yardage differential was largely about the turnover differential, where they occurred on the field, and what the outcome was, as well as penalty yds. and starting field positionby Suh-weet! - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRams_81 in a salary cap sports, finding high performance that is cheaper is a homerun, but draft picks are long shots to perform at a high level, even the first rounders. Rarely will somebody perform better than somebody like Cooks. but I believe the Rams are killing with this approach. Hard to argue w/the results of the Rams' approach AND those results also depend in part on their sby Suh-weet! - RamsFootballFans.com
Quoteleafnose BTW, Rampage remarked that from his seat he thought that Cooks had made the chains move late in the game on the short screen. Rampage was livid after seeing the telecast From my spot it appeared he was just short. The fox "glow line" certainly looks to support Rampage's spot. Unfortunately, with no time outs, the coach couldn't challenge. The unnecessary roughnessby Suh-weet! - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteSpeed_Kills My follow up question was should it be? In other words what difference does it make if his arm is moving forward if the ball was hit and knocked out of his hand prior to him releasing it I mean what if Westbrook had take the ball off of his hand... literally just grabbed it... would that not have counted because his arm was moving forward? Excellent point, Speed. I meaby Suh-weet! - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRams_81 Teams value draft picks way too much. It was like a 90% chance that Cooks would outperform the draft pick traded for him. Any time you can get a 1000 yard wide receiver for a draft pick, you have to be all over that deal. Cooks will very likely outperform the draft pick - initially certainly - but he'll also cost a LOT more.by Suh-weet! - RamsFootballFans.com
Quoteoldschoolramfan This Ram team is deep and talented........Kids are getting it done and it's just the beginning. Goff, well he is simply an ELITE NFL QB.......Hands down.

QuoteJamesJM but as of now only in this way: More physical talent, more ability to throw while juggling two dozen bowling pins.

Quotejemach The strategy left one time out on the board. We didn't run more clock off by the plays we called. I don't think the point "holds warta (water)" as Vinny Gambini says in My Cousin Vinny. You seem to be missing that point. There's no approach that guarantees success. The question is which approach offers the greater likelihood of success. Basically, at the possiblby Suh-weet! - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotejemach that's speculation. As for a tipped pass...what happened on second down? And I really don't agree with a downfield pass having a greater risk of being tipped. How many passes are tipped a game? We just needed a 7 yard pass...not 15-20. I won't go into it but we could have used a certain type of big receiver in this instance that takes up space. lol They tried to throwby Suh-weet! - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotejemach we would have been just as good off running the ball. They were passing plays that really didn't look like they were designed for lots of yards. I didn't have a problem passing but throw the darn ball 10 yards...not at the line of scrimmage in the sets we were in. So, I didn't have an issue passing...but it was the type of passing after the first down call. I'll have to lookby Suh-weet! - RamsFootballFans.com
QuotePHDram Well I certainly wouldn't have minded a downfield pass but obviously mcvay was going with high percentage passes. And if I recall correctly that last pass would have been a first down if it wasnt tipped. ... was Goff's execution on the one that was batted down. That was a 1st down, game over.

QuoteSpeed_Kills Its his second year I haven’t finished reading the book yet I'm saying that the two very positive things I see in him NOW are a big time motor and strength against the run.

Quotejemach I think you need to go back and watch Warner. This game is erasing people's memory. Warner had the best ball placement I've ever seen. He put it in the receivers hands while they were in stride...all the time. Ask Larry Fitzgerald...Torry Holt...Issac Bruce. It's not even close.
