Re: Need one more mt, there are 6 spots - McVay it should be - Today
I think between us we've nailed it. Now: Take a look at our six: (drumroll................... McVay, Stafford, Puka, Havs, Verse, and the Conductor. Next question: How many more on the board who agree with us? :thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsupby mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Re: Interviewer asked him about it. And to be fair... - Yesterday
Goff had the mike when he answered. He owns his answers. The reporter, I'm sure, didn't ask him to put on full display his best butt-hurt narrative on the past history of his trade. I see what you mean - reporters do what they do all the time. Some ask probing questions, some ask gotcha questions, and some ask lame questions. Still - and my point - Goff has been doing this for long enoby mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com

Re:one game, and an era - Yesterday
That game and its historical ramifications, the enshrinement of Billycheat and Brady, the destruction of Ram careers in its wake and legitimizing of crime (cheating to rig the payoffs to "organized gambling," or "the gaming industry" or raketeering as we used to call it) as a determiner of games - the NFL never recovered and never will. As an era, the demise of the Rams unby mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Re: Time for Goff to rephrase the narrative - Yesterday
It sounds worse every time you hear it. He can't get from where he is to something like this: "That was a long time ago. It was a shock then but was a blessing in disguise and since then I've grown and improved under Coach Dan Campbell. Proof of the pudding is that when we faced the Rams we came from behind to beat them 26-20. That's my final statement on the matter." It's meaby mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Re: Who is on the banner - Havs belongs there - Yesterday
Gotta make room on the banner for Havenstein. He was the guy leading players-only meetings during the tough times when this team had to come together. Coach McVay could have lost the team, and shortly thereafter his job, were it not for Havs. That's before we talk about a player who has been more than solid and dependable, all-Ram if not a Pro Bowl pick at the unglamorous right tackle posby mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Re: Oh what could have been!! - 2 days ago
Shades of Roman Gabriel. I cannot help but think of Gabe first when I see that all-white uni, white horns. When I watched the RAms play in person he was an imposing figure - dominated the scene when he was on the field. On D? Merlin - even when flanked by Youngblood, Rosey, and all the others. But when I saw them Gabe was the dominating presence every time he was on the field in all-whby mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Re: Not bad for just out of school... a cake walk... - 4 days ago
My loving granddaughter (age 18) made me a German chocolate for my birthday (fresh cherries, even!) and chocolate bark on the outside that easily went ten pounds. Each one-pound serving seemed to generate two pounds of weight gain. She is entering college soon as a nursing major. Maybe she should consider going to work for the Rams. She'd have Dolac up to 245 and Tutu pushing 202 before the eby mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Re: 221 lbs seems small for ILB - 4 days ago
It follows a trend. Until convinced otherwise, McVay seems to prefer undersized ILB's, undersized RB's, itty bitty speedy little wideouts, smallish centers, short second string quarterbacks, skinny secondaries, short-bodied or short-armed interior DL, etc. He's an intense and energetic coach, whose earnest and direct style mean he likes to look his players in the eye. :wink2 :wave:ROTFby mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Re: TUTU is practicing in Florida with Lamar Jackson - 9 days ago
He doesn't look as skinny-little as he used to. I wonder what he will weigh when he checks in at camp? He's obviously been working out - looks leak and solid.by mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com

If you think it's worthy, please do. It'd be one way to be sure that she sees it.

Your intelligent and insightful reporting has helped us, your readers and fans, navigate some tricky waters during your time with us. You've brought clarity and insight to us from the trust and integrity you've established with the Rams organization. I for one, as a writer, doubly appreciate what you bring.

Re: Jared Verse - 10 days ago
Interesting thought, moving Vese inside. But then, you've got this short-armed guy there already who surprised me last year with what he did from the inside on passing downs. Moving Verse inside would possibly disrupt the synergy between these two players that will continue to grow. If Verse is beating his man physically I'd leave him where he is, especially late in the game. Let him wearby mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Re: Makes you wonder why we didn't go for Alexander - 11 days ago
Steelers are pushing all their chips into the pile post-Rodgers. They'll be dangerous - and fun to watch. I'm not as down on Rodgers as some of you and he's among the all-time greats. It will be a pleasure to watch him play again - this time with a team that can do something. Tomlin will have his guys ready. And he's not a dirty coach. I'll be pulling for the Steelers when they play the Liby mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Re: Thank you!! That was fun - shades of Ed Sabol - 12 days ago
In case some may have forgotten... he was called for non-existent fouls right off the get-to in that game, and that messed his mindset from then on. He deliberately avoided what had been flagged earlier and that's what we remember, now. My sense at the time was that he needed a talking-to, a calm down and get ahold of yourself session and pep talk with a coach before he went back in. Eithertby mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com

Re: Thoughts on Higbee? Ferguson? - 17 days ago
Higs has always struck me as that solid journeyman, never makes a mistake, never gets caught out of position, good-enough but not outstanding athlete who is there whewn you need him. McVay only goes to him when he has to. The Rams have had several good young TE's come and go while Higbee has stayed. They're still in the league and doing well. Will Davis Allen be next?

Re:slowness - 19 days ago
Camp body, insurance depth if he makes the 53 - slowness... it's processing speed, not foot speed, where his slowness is most worrisome to me. I wish him well - he's a nice young man who, in his own words, has overcome a lot just to be here.by mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com

Re: Never driven that fast in your life? - 21 days ago
I have - pushed a Shelby Cobra up around 130 + and cruised it at 120. Speed is fun - it's an adrenaline rush and endorphan release like no other. Best to have the training (as I did) to handle it. One secret, not too well-known, about the old Truimph TR-3 was that it didn't smooth out until you got above 80. From there to 110 it was a dream. The Jags my mentor owned were fast, too.

Team spokesman trying to make it sound like he's doing the responsible thing - taking care of the tickets. Good boy, Sheduer, just don't do it again, and again and again.... As if that's all this is.

Re: Re:Remember Leonard Little - 22 days ago
Thanks. We live in a culture that tends to brush off or excuse such things, and as a result we can tend to dismiss or equivocate what should be taken more seriously. Young Mister Sanders and everybody else would be better off if his feet were held to the fire. There should be consequences beyond a fine paid with brush-off money that doesn't really hurt.

Re:Remember Leonard Little - 22 days ago
,It doesn't always end with a speeding ticket. As he continued his NFL career Little was never able to shake the grief. That's before we think of the families and the person who was killed. I hope he learns from this. Given who he is, it's more than a speeding ticket. He has privilege, power, and influence.
