that people are so sure Henderson will be hurt.... or maybe outplayed?, by week 6. Both scenarios are certainly possible.... I'm betting against it. He's going to make you doubters believers. :laughingby JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
My grandson that lives in England tried out for the Lakenheath Lancers football team... he had never played football in his life - he's a rugby player, (still is)... AND... He just sent me a text - "I made starting QB". Third QB among my grandsons, (6 of them). 3 QB's, 1 WR, 1 Tackle, and the youngest who can play any position on the field.. currently RB.

I’m not going to mention who this person is… for fear that if word got out I’d be fed to pigs while still alive. BUT.. in all fairness - a lot of older people didn’t grow up with all this tech… and their lack of even basic knowledge regarding smartphones, computers, etc. is VERY understandable. In truth... it wasn't the person's fault, it was mine, and my impatience. So I’m helping a persoby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
not for me, however, I love liver and onions. But yeah... that fits... love it or hate it. Thought of another I don't really like... again, I can them, won't upchuck, but no... not my cup of tea. Pigs Feet. Pure fat. - JamesJMby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
I don't remember much about the guy.by JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com

it wasn't just what he did, (impressive), for me but how he did it! Which, to me, was more than impressive. And yet... the guys entering what, his 4th year? If he had it surely by now he'd have a home? I can't shake the feeling the this guy, Lawler, can play. I'm not saying it need be for the Rams... but if I was looking for a LB I'd REALLY consider this guy. - JamesJMby JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
I have a very strange 'quirk', if you will. I have been a fan of the Rams since the 50's, but it was the season of '67, (actually '66 it began), when I became obsessive, (in a good way I think :laughing ) So thru the 70's I came to think of "my" Rams as nothing but winners... even if the SB eluded us. Here's the rather 'quirky' part of this... I've never lost that. Not thru the 90by JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
but I can't help but wonder... are 3 preseason games enough to really judge a player at ANY position? I've always been curious about what goes on behind the scenes... that we know little about - how a player performs in practice most notably. I'm just not sure how important what we see, preseason games, is in making these final decisions.by JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
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
