If you draft JPJ, the 49ers D Line change from being the hunters to the hunted. Only issue is Pittsburgh at 20 want him. If the Rams want JPJ, they won’t be able to trade back and might get leap frogged by the Steelers.by Ekern55 - RamsFootballFans.com
My sense is the Rams want to draft plug and play guys. Robinson doesn’t look ready, although he could be a Von Miller clone, maybe, for the next 10 years after he learns some moves.by Ekern55 - RamsFootballFans.com
We had a body catcher with Van Jefferson. What body catchers mean to me is their hands aren’t massive. You need to get those hands catchers with big mitts. They don’t fumble nearly as much.by Ekern55 - RamsFootballFans.com
You could do what the Titans did and line up Henry in wildcat and score every time. I’m serious, though. If they don’t sign Henry, they should line up Michael Hoecht at wildcat. Former high school running back, 6’4”, 300 lbs., runs a 4.6 40…why not?by Ekern55 - RamsFootballFans.com
Love these ^^^by Ekern55 - RamsFootballFans.com
You’re always on top of it, Joe. I was going to speculate whether he grew up a Rams fan, because just like Bill Walsh, Mortensen was straight outta Compton.by Ekern55 - RamsFootballFans.com
I’m very grateful the Rams didn’t tank for him.by Ekern55 - RamsFootballFans.com
I’d love for the Rams to get Vaki. He’s in the encyclopedia when you look up “football player”.by Ekern55 - RamsFootballFans.com
Thanks DP! Amazing work. Any thoughts on Michael Pratt, QB Tulane? Don’t know how high his ceiling is, but has a high floor. Developmental guy for sure.by Ekern55 - RamsFootballFans.com
Yeah, I don’t want to see them burn this year’s 1st round pick on George Burns or Gracie Allen.by Ekern55 - RamsFootballFans.com
Great point. Good to know you don’t need Lester Hayes to man up on Deebo. Putting your best man coverage guy works fine.by Ekern55 - RamsFootballFans.com
Watched some Rice highlights today and he catches a lot of red zone balls. Rams needs some of that.by Ekern55 - RamsFootballFans.com
If they sign Cousins, then the plan changes immensely. The big thing is that due to the players’ union, teams only have so much time to implement a game plan. So, again, it’s why defense the 49ers like they have Jerry Rice and Terrell Owens running legit patterns. They haven’t played that type of offense once in the Shanahan era.by Ekern55 - RamsFootballFans.com
I’d love just to see Jerry Rice conflicted. Once Jerry Rice is wearing a Rams’ hat the clouds will disperse and Leroy Irvin will have the last laugh.by Ekern55 - RamsFootballFans.com
Or did they not overlap?by Ekern55 - RamsFootballFans.com
We can only hope.:ROTF But watch McVay perform another QB rehab with Trubisky like he did with Mayfield.by Ekern55 - RamsFootballFans.com
Wentz adds a whole new dimension with his running ability.by Ekern55 - RamsFootballFans.com
I’d like to rewatch how Mike McDonald schemed when the Niners played the Ravens and how Jeff Schwartz schemed them when the Browns played them. McDonald will change the dynamic, IMO, because now his Seahawks will play them 2x per season. Shanahan has been getting away with a complimentary pass game to his run game. He doesn’t match up with any of the top pass teams and teams just pretendby Ekern55 - RamsFootballFans.com
Exactly. He has a great eye for detail. I never noticed Purdy doesn’t audible. This is like Belichick making defensive adjustments after McVay’s microphone disconnects from Goff’s headset in Super Bowl 53. Spags was allowed to throw monkey wrenches into the works without getting burned by Purdy checking out. He found an advantage and used it for maximum damage. And the other thing—and Reidby Ekern55 - RamsFootballFans.com
Spags is amazing. He’s got a great eye for detail and this short video is a blue print on how to draft and how to game plan against the Niners. Put a sticky corner on Deebo and you take away one weapon. Run blitz alternating a blitzing back with a blitzing corner, and you slow down their run game. I wish we had Spags as DC. I hope Shula can rise to his level.by Ekern55 - RamsFootballFans.com
Rams don’t need a plug and play QB. A developmental guy like Pratt should last till the 3rd round.by Ekern55 - RamsFootballFans.com
But if Shanahan does hire Staley, they can trade yucks on which is harder: losing a 28-3 lead or 27-3.by Ekern55 - RamsFootballFans.com
I remember that. It was Mike Fanning.by Ekern55 - RamsFootballFans.com
There’s a Niner podcaster, Krueg, who brought it up a month ago and he wants you to know that. Has Belichick’s defense stopped anyone in the last two seasons?by Ekern55 - RamsFootballFans.com
Great stuff with Baldy and a good template for DC Shula.by Ekern55 - RamsFootballFans.com
Definitely some momentum calls to keep both teams within reach of victory.by Ekern55 - RamsFootballFans.com
The 49ers are media darlings which is kind of my point with the Purdy narrative. However the call is viewed, Jennings hit the turf to make the acting job convincing. Had he fought through the contact, was Purdy looking at him to target? Seems to me the contact had no bearing on the play and no penalty should have been called.by Ekern55 - RamsFootballFans.com
I was a fan until the cheating came out. He seemed like the Cinderella story that just kept giving. But when I found out about the cheating, you better believe I became a hater and it’s the correct and natural reaction to stolen glory.by Ekern55 - RamsFootballFans.com
In the first possession of OT, it was 3rd and 13, pass was incomplete which would have made it 4th down and 13 at the 49ers own 22. It should have been a punt. Defensive holding was called instead with the aid of some nice acting by Jennings. The narrative is that Purdy drove the Niners down the field like a general. The truth is he barely got past a three and out.by Ekern55 - RamsFootballFans.com
