Very true. I’m in tank mode now, so a loss is a plus as far as our second round pick, but this team still plays hard. That’s one of the many things I like about McVay: players play for him.by Ekern55 - RamsFootballFans.com
Not a lot of bend but power and speed that few others have.by Ekern55 - RamsFootballFans.com
His coach is Brian Griese. Ours is a guy named Robinson whom I never heard of.by Ekern55 - RamsFootballFans.com

Must be fairly bad if he’s not good enough to have it taped up and return for Purdyby Ekern55 - RamsFootballFans.com
He reminds me of Tony Dorsett on aderol (metaphorically speaking of course).by Ekern55 - RamsFootballFans.com
Johnson was recruited as a QB if I’m not mistaken. Definitely high energy, size and runs up the middle.by Ekern55 - RamsFootballFans.com
There’s not a red card violation where you only jump routes if you’re playing man defense as opposed to zone. Zone merely leads to man defense. At some point a man enters your zone and if rotations and assignments are locked in and the ball is in the air, it doesn’t matter if you’ve followed the man the whole time during entire snap or whether a receiver entered your zone, you’ve got to coverby Ekern55 - RamsFootballFans.com
Scheme is one thing. Approach is another. Do you coach jumping routes which is risky, risky, risky? Or do you coach staying behind your man, safety, safety, safety? Same scheme. Difference in approach.by Ekern55 - RamsFootballFans.com
For some reason Ali Gaye is rated as 3rd day. Maybe it’s another pure potential roll of the dice, but he’s got some baller in him.by Ekern55 - RamsFootballFans.com
That was a huge whiff. Saffold is a run blocker like no other. Honestly, I haven’t seen many as good as him. And apparently he wanted to work with the Rams on his contract. :bangheadby Ekern55 - RamsFootballFans.com
And why Darious Williams was an excellent route jumper one season and then the next regime’s defensive philosophy gets him a non contract offer. That says A LOT.by Ekern55 - RamsFootballFans.com
Are you kidding? With this nail bighter? That’s a crucial time out. :confusedby Ekern55 - Game Time Forum

Aristotle says that if you want to change a vice to a virtue/manliness/excellence in your profession, it’s like forcing a stick that you want straightened out to be bent in opposite direction towards where it’s already bent. And so McVay’s football vice is his ignorance of the run game—not just the schematics—but what a power running game does to weaken and decimate the will of your opponentby Ekern55 - RamsFootballFans.com
The No Name Defense. The Doomsday Defense. The Steel Curtain. The Killer Bs. The No Fly Zone. And…. The Cushion of Death. Makes me proud. :spintoungeby Ekern55 - RamsFootballFans.com
Happy Thanksgiving, Ramily!!! Happy to celebrate a super bowl with you all, happy to commiserate during the down times. Feast hardily!!by Ekern55 - RamsFootballFans.com
Henderson averaged 8.1 yards per carry in college and broke off a lot of long runs to the house. I was always waiting for that guy to show up when he wore horns and he never did. A textbook case of a guy whose talent doesn’t translate from one level to the next. NFL. Not. For. Long.by Ekern55 - RamsFootballFans.com
That’s why I draft Darnell Washington, the big TE out of Georgia. It’s like having Roger Saffold blocking to the second level. He’s the perfect blocker for McVay run concepts at the edge and the plus is, as mentioned, blocking at the 2nd level. Chunk run plays will be possible with him and not just 3-4 yards and a cloud of dust. Plus he catches very well, runs YAC well and apparently has beenby Ekern55 - RamsFootballFans.com
He graduated from Thousand Oaks High School which is about 3 miles from where the Rams practice at CLU. He can live at home I guess? :thumbby Ekern55 - RamsFootballFans.com
Can this guy block or what? He can catch too. He’s the perfect tight end and McSnead would pass on him because some small school, undersized guy runs better routes but can’t block for his life. Please, please let him fall to us! 37.Darnell Washington TE Georgia trade icon LAR 67.Darnell Wright OT Tennessee LAR 96. Cameron Latu TE Alabama trade icon LAR 188.

Protecting his own player laying on the floor who had a Phoenix Sun’s player standing over him, Beverly checked that guy—about a foot taller too—and sent him sprawling to the hardwood. I wish our Rams would have the backs of their teammates like this.by Ekern55 - RamsFootballFans.com
