and there may be other foods that fall into this category, but off the top of my head Blue Cheese is the only one where this seems true.... There is no middle ground. You either LOVE it, passionately, or you DESPISE IT, with extreme prejudice. I'm in the "love" category.... most of my family is in the 'hate' category... but I don't think I know a single person in the "take itby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
I'm just not sold on the 'he got hurt before he WILL get hurt again' position. I think that relies more on superstition than fact.... OTHER than, serious injury, like a torn ACL. - JamesJMby JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
not sure I understand you... you don't see the need to keep 3? Can't mean you think 2 will do?by JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
McVay always envisioned 3 RB's... they have something up their sleeve. :laughingby JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
I even posted that it would be a tough call for McVay to cut Hekker... if for no other reason than the emotional one... BUT... I do NOT think it was that alone, or even mostly. I don't think McVay does anything that he doesn't consider the best for the team... even when the decision is a hard one... I have no doubt McVay, and company, feel Hekker is well up to the task. - JamesJMby JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
Just posted about that, (didn't know they had cut him however)... I'd look VERY closely at this guy. - JamesJMby JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
But then my memory ain't what it used to be. :laughing Still... Many discussions regarding all positions... except, maybe, WR... although even there it was pondered often how many the Ram's would retain. The board sort of lit up with cuts looming... not matching draft day but not that far behind either. Yeah... this was a tough year for the Ram coaches... but as McVay says that's a nby JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
we talked about this not that long ago. The very final scene where they are paddling their way back to land was filmed at Universal City Studios on their backlot pond.... lots of stuff was filmed there. You may remember the final scene of The Truman Show when he bumps into the wall painted like a skyline? Same place.... but I hear they have removed that wall recently. - JamesJMby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
I have some nitroglycerin pills as well.... just in case. But I have never had to use them since the were first prescribed to me some.. I forget now... 5? 6? 7? 8? years ago?. BUT... I did take one, ONCE... and that was a test. I was at my doctor and he asked me about them, and how many I had taken. I told him "never", never needed to.... to which he replied, "That's good,by JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
adding another RB I'm pretty darned sure about. Who was it, 21Dog? Made a very good observation not long ago that I think holds a lot of weight.... I would look long and hard at any RB cut by the Niners. I haven't checked on their cuts but if there's a RB in the mix I'm looking VERY closely at him. - JamesJMby JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
but then... I think having 3 QB's is smart any time. I think the Ram's are in very good shape QB'wise. A proven starter, a proven #2, and at the very least a QB who has shown he has the potential to develop into an eventual starting QB. At #3 Perkins will reap huge benefits being on the roster.by JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
I don't believe that at all.by JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
there is also the personal, emotional side. Hekker is not just 'some' punter... he's possibly HOF. He's a big part of why the Rams are here right now... he was also a fan favorite, an engaging personality.... perhaps not to you, or some, but he was for many, and I'd bet good money he was to his teammates. If McVay believes the Rams are ready to make a SB run, and I think he believes exactlby JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
have a chance of being picked up then?by JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
I'm not sure, myself.... but I do think releasing Hekker will come hard. I don't think his punting days are over, even if released. And given the fact he wasn't able to compete for his job.... I think this is the toughest call McVay is facing. - JamesJMby JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
About a month ago I discovered, to my horror, that my 2nd oldest grandson has never seen "Diehard"... it shook me to the core. Well, tonights the night! Or at least that's the plan.... he's 19, and at 19, plans can change at the drop of a hat... usually do actually!by JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
I thought there would be more than we've seen..... for perhaps 10 players or so the strategy you spell out makes perfect sense.... but after that? You may get a team to bite on a position where you have another player, same position, you hope to hang on too.by JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
or course it could be that more cuts have been made and it just hasn't been reported.... but never the less I thought that by this time we'd be down to less than 60.by JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
Since McVay was hired this has been predicted.... and yet? Easy to see why... warranted or not the name McVay and "innovative" go together. And it hardly stops there.... non QB players who played QB or at least can throw the ball, throw it well that is, have been and currently are on the roster. PLUS... Hekker has been allowed to pass.... ummm, I'm not sure how many times butby JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
Since 1974 I have read Lord Of The Rings every other year, at Christmas time. This last Christmas I did not. So I started it last night, finished book one just a few minutes ago. The only biographies I've ever read were of famous people during the Civil War.. and I read many of them. I don't have a good reason for not reading biographies.... your list sounds very entertaining.by JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
The praise heaped on the Niners was astounding. I was reminded of the old Lon Simmons days, (old Niner announcer) who never once saw a Niner penalty that wasn't a bad call nor a play from their opponent in which a penalty wasn't committed. It was annoying, but frankly a little entertaining as well. :laughing So... I wasn't comfortable at all listening to the glowing praise today... but unforby JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
I cannot recall reading a rock star bio.by JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
Although I don't think he throws that many errant passes.... BUT ALSO.. he doesn't really nail the mark that often even with his completions... IOW... hitting the receiver in stride allowing for good YAC.by JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
I'm thinking that beginning in game #1 when we get in the Red Zone McVay is going to rely heavily on Tutu's ability to run routes and get open quickly. Lot of what I saw in the passing game yesterday seemed to me to be working on the Red Zone plan.... this no matter the actual field position in that game. - JamesJMby JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
First, allow me to be clear where I stand. I like Wolford as #2, and by a good margin. I love the potential Perkins has shown... and would like to see 3 QB's, bringing Perkins along... but realize that may not be feasible due to a lack of depth elsewhere. As for my question... I don't read as much as most of you, I just subscribed to The Athletic. I keep seeing posted here, and then readby JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
because I haven't really noticed how Blanton is doing overall... when I HAVE seen him I have not been impressed. - JamesJMby JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
gonna be one of those years. :frown We have a new coach this year..... gotta give him a little time... but so far.. ehhhhh. :laughing My grandson is the QB.. is doing very well.... but wow, it's going to be tough this season. He's scrambling for his life every time the ball is snapped. Luckily he can run - in fact, until HS he was a RB. He's leading our league in passing... but he's hby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
Not sure about Hekker and Boroquez. Hard to let a HOF'r go, especially one who wasn't able to compete for his job.by JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
