QuotePHDram robert woods Woods will now draw the #1 CB and much of the safety help. He didn't have to deal with that last year. It remains to be seen how he does... I think we need to add another weapon somewhere else to keep the offense humming.by dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRockRam It cost the Rams a 2nd and EJ Gaines to rent Sammy for 1 year. That's expensive. Now the Rams will no doubt get a 3rd rounder back as a comp pick. So that helps a lot. But, equally no doubt this is not the way Les Snead pictured this going. All that said: it is very hard to turn around a perennial losing team. If someone were to say to you: For EJ Gaines and a forfeiture of aby dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com
I bet McVay sees Everett as a breakout player next season too. But I don't think having one TE is enough for him. Higbee wasn't drafted by him and he hasn't shown himself to be anything more than a jag. In my 2018 off season plan, I predicted the Rams pursue a vet free agent TE. Well, rumor has it that they may be pursuing Trey Burton.by dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotejemach They have made two major errors in just the past year. We won't even throw in Austin. 1) Gave up 2nd rounder and player for a one year rental. If we get a 3rd round compensatory, it does squat to minimize this failure. 2) Unnecessarily signed Ogletree to an extension spending $6 million they didn't need to getting back a 4th and 6th.

It could have been McVay and his co-chief Wade that ok'd the extension and then changed their minds. There's no way an extension would be done without their input. They may be most at fault. I'm not sure about that 10X smarter stuff. They get no pass from me on this one.by dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteRams43 Quoteoldschoolramfan I can see it going down like this. Rams get 2 FA ILB's. Draft by trading up..........VEA or PAYNE. Defense is finished and Donald has a young NT to free him up.

...about not making such egregious mistakes in the first place. The worst of the bunch is AO. I don't even know how to explain giving an extension to an ILB who leads the league in missed tackles, make him the 2nd highest paid ILB in the game, and then 5 months later decide he's not a fit. All of that stuff should have been reviewed BEFORE the extension. And this extension was done unby dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com
Stop being slippery. You're trying to go back to the injury issue. I already acknowledge that. Wade's statements were about past performance at the nickel, not future injury concerns due to his size. Your phrases such as 'performed like a wasted pick', 'one year of solid play', '1 year of success in year 4, 'not a contributor', etc. are all attacking his performance. That goes beyond anyby dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com
This is not about different definitions. There is nothing unambiguous about being "one of the best players on D." You go ahead and stick with your call; I'm going with the HOF coaches call.by dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com
You didn't mention any concerns about injury. You called him a wasted pick which goes way beyond a concern about injuries. I was just needling you a bit since you like to enthusiastically tell us when you're right; I was thinking you would just put on your big boy pants and admit you got one wrong.

Quoteden-the-coach Max brings up a great point and my feeling is they liked Talib better than Ogletree IMHO. Plus I have a feeling the Rams were encouraged by either free agency or the draft as to landing an ILB cheaper than Ogletree with the ability to acquire two shut down CB's that in Wade's scheme is priority number one. All in all, they extended Ogletree because they felt good about tby dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotezn Quotezn Quotedzrams There seems to be great differences of opinion on Joyner. . Looks to me more like there's a majority consensus in his favor, and some minority dissent.

The report after the Shields signing and Talib trade was that the Rams still had an unequivocal desire to re-sign NRC. But I think he wants to test the market. He didn't get paid much last year, this is his chance to see if he can do better. If the price is right, I'm certain he'll be back. But if he cost more than $3 - $4M, he's gone IMO.by dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteBlue and Gold Quotedzrams Looking at the total costs of Talib vs. Sherman (not bringing in MP), I'd be fine with Sherman but prefer the Talib route. I don't think the Rams could have afforded Sherman at $13M per. And he's coming off of injury. That makes me very nervous. So the money is substantially less over two years, no injury, and it only cost a 5th for Talib. That's a win.by dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com
