By my not-so-scientific method it looks like the vast majority of them would have been pushed off the first page and been relegated to obscurity well before today if there wasn't a Chronicles board. For that I am grateful to the Admins and to everyone who supported the idea.

The downside, it seems, that some folks are missing out on a vast library of articles and videos Rams-related just because they are on the 'other board', as if it is some mysterious, hidden treasure trove available only to the brave and daring.

The truth: you can can get there from this board with two mouse clicks.

First click: from the first page of this Herd board, click 'Forum List':

Lo, we are beset by such lads as stand upon the court when teams are chosen. Being passed o’er by all, yet bearing the ball themselves, they cry:

“What ho! Ye would not choose me? Then shall I reclaim mine own ball and hence depart unto my dwelling!”

Fie upon such boys. Petty boys. Tiny-hearted boys.

Or mark the child who hath a toy in hand, yet knows not rightly how to wield it. Another draws near and takes it up, and straightway delights therein, saying:

“Marry, this plaything bringeth much joy!”

Then the first doth leap forth in haste:

“Hold! Stay thy hand! That toy is mine!”

Again I say: a boy. A little boy.

Nay, cease thy fleeing from the reckoning. The reckoning cometh. Thou art afeard. Aye, they are all afeard. In truth, they know full well what manner of man I am.

They shall prattle thus:

“BA did this. BA did that. BA hath done sundry deeds—so it is alleged. Alleged, forsooth!”

Yet never shall they utter:

“BA is poor at football.”

For they know better. They know my measure. And so they flee from the account that draweth ever nearer.

’Tis inevitable. It approacheth even now.

Run not.

The Los Angeles Rams have had a news-making offseason. They knew they had to get stronger on defense. So they did just that by trading for All-Pro corner Trent McDuffie, signing his Chiefs teammate Jaylen Watson, and landing premier defensive end Myles Garrett.

That slew of moves is no coincidence. As soon as the 2025 season ended, Rams brass held a meeting. The subject under discussion: how to upgrade an inexpensive defense with proven stars. The decision: attempt to transplant the cream of the AFC crop to the Los Angeles subdivision of the NFC West.

Stealing McDuffie away from Kansas City was surprisingly clever. The team parlayed a late first-round draft pick, plus other draft assets, into one of the NFL's top cornerbacks. While some still call it an overpay, they never mention that the move also helped lure in McDuffie's teammate, preserving their elite chemistry in the secondary.

Now the Rams have galvanized the entire roster and fanbase by adding the former face of the Cleveland Browns' franchise in Garrett, the best defender not just in the AFC but in the entire NFL.

Poona Ford gave Rams a template they immediately followed

It's not the first time general manager Les Snead has had success swiping top talent across conference lines. In fact, he did so quite recently by pilfering a stout Chargers run-stuffer named Poona Ford. Ford arrived to stiffen up LA's porous run defense, and that's what he did. Among 134 qualified interior defenders last season, Pro Football Focus ranked Ford fourth with an overall grade of 86.2.

His contributions altered the entire unit. In 2024, the Horns surrendered 130 rushing yards per game on 4.6 yards per carry. In 2025, Ford helped decrease those figures to 110.8 rushing yards per game and 4.3 yards per carry. And that despite facing an army of formidable running backs, including Christian McCaffrey, Derrick Henry, Saquon Barkley, Jahmyr Gibbs, and Kenneth Walker III.

After that success, why not wash, rinse, and repeat in 2026?

Los Angeles just poached the league's No. 1 pass rusher from AFC coffers. The Browns totaled 53 sacks last season, and Garrett recorded 23 of them.

In the same breath, the Rams pulled two of the AFC's most coveted corners from the stingy Kansas City Chiefs, whose defense allowed only 18 passing touchdowns and 195.6 passing yards per game.

If the new additions can replicate their performance in Los Angeles, the Rams' defense could outperform even that of the esteemed Seattle Seahawks.

Of course, there's more to it than simply adding up names and stats like it's fantasy football. The Blue and Yellow must assemble the new pieces to optimize everyone's contribution. Leave it to defensive coordinator Chris Shula to take his supercharged defense over the top, courtesy of the generous AFC.

As always, thanks for reading.

Ouch! :(

IE, 1st in 2027 Draft Power are NY Jets, 9 picks in 2027(including 3 First rounders)1464.3 pts
2nd is Cleveland (2 First Round picks) with 11 picks in 2027 totaling 1307.1 pts
and 3rd are the rebuilding, talent-depleted, $190 million DeadMoney burdened, Miami Dolphins (IE.my target) with their 2027 nine picks & 1118.9 points

Miami is banking on a GB Packer 3rd Round QB from QB-Factory Liberty to carry them to the 2027 NFC East Title. ME: Look up in the sky! Flying Pigs!! :)

Understandably, Tankathon have the Miami Dolphins picking first in every Round in the 2027 NFL Draft for their 2027 predications//prognostications.

My post here is to put forth ideas regarding purloining some 2027 Draft Picks from the new rookie Dolphin GM and HC, both from Green Bay Packer-ville by offering them veteran talent in spots we have it in abundance EG. WR, TE and Safety

When you check ESPN on the 2027 Dolphins Roster & Depth Chart, they stink talentwise everywhere, BUT ESPECIALLY at WR, TE, and Safety

AT TE, the 2027 Fins trot out JAG Greg Dulcich the 3rd Rd #80 overall 2022 Bronco Pick who has played in 26 games TOTAL in the past 4 season racking up a scintillating 799 yards on 67 receptions on 104 targets and a whopping 3 total TDs since '22. Oh yeah, for the '26 Fins and he scored ONE TD & lost a fumble.
IDEA: Wouldn't a proven vet TE like Davis Allen from nearby southern school Clemson, with his cheap $1.2 Million contract, 52% snaps on Ram 2025 Offense and 48% ST snaps be someone the Green Bay rubes might wanna look at?

.....and for those who say, Hey, Allen's contract is up next year, I say, so are most of Miami's roster holders too! Even our PS UDFA TE Mark Redman looks better than what the 2026 Fins TE Room has to offer.....I mean, the Miami TE Leader did not suit up for 42 of 68 games since 2022.......and this Dulcich guy is their TE stud at a salary of $1.698,000 for 2026! :)


Fin WR Room
-Miami's stud WR is 5 year-vet Tutu Atwell who is on a cheapie 1-Year $1,402,500 Dolphin Contract. The rest of the Fins WR staff make less $$ than Tutu.
Now the New Miami Braintrust wants to keep all their 2027 Draft Treasure, but they also might not to start their GM & HC careers with an 0-17 season, so maybe we could bait them with proven vets like Xavier Smith, Konata Mumpfield or Jordan Whittington? For a 6th or 7th Round Pick sent back to us for 2027.
We cannot keep them all in any case, why not try to get something for them, no?

The Dolphins 2026 Safety Room is also full of JAGs..........Veteran Lonnie Johnson Jr, is joining the Fins from Da Raidahs, and Miami is his 6th team since he was drafted by Houston in 2019.......Team Captain material Right There Sportsfans!!! ") Hello 6 Rounder for proven vet Tank McCollough, no?

Hey I like Tank......hell, I like all the aforementioned Ram players in this post.......but we need to scrounge up some 2027 Draft Picks, RIGHT??!!
And so my strategy would be to zero-in on the Rookie GM/HC Dolphin guys, who know they have a very poor 2026 roster.........AND NO MONEY TO SPEND........
AND offer them some cheap talent. Talent we are probably going to shed when the mega cut day comes in early September.

Anyways, the above is my strategy. If you guys have other ideas..........let's hear them.
It's idle NFL-talk-time now anyways till August PreSeason games no?

I would feel much better if we had better depth at WR due to Puka's physical style of play on the field...and off, as well as the age of Adams too.

I just haven't seen anything from Mumps or Whittingham. Some here were really high on them at first but after seeing them actually play, maybe they were just "high". lol

Don't even get me started on X Smith. Imo, he shouldn't even be on the team anymore.

The new kid Daniels comes with some good hype this year but then again, what rookie doesn't get overhyped at first???

Let's go get us a solid WR3 than could also play WR1 or WR2 for a stretch if needed. I would hate to see us stand pat at the position like we did last year with the CB's. We all know how that worked out, don't we?

Should we take a shot at signing Diggs???

1) The Rams had to get their QB of the future this year or next.
2) If they waited until next, they would have had to use their 2027 first plus a bunch more to get into a position to take him, assuming it would be possible at all to move up that high.
3) They will never for many years be picking as high as 13.
4) So, they take Simpson with that "bonus" 1st rounder from Atlanta, thus freeing up their future 1st round picks.
5) That 2027 pick was crucial for getting Garrett (which they were in process of working out the kinks for the deal weeks before the draft).
6) So.... they get their QB of the future AND they get Garrett all at the same time, and the only future 1st rounder they gave up for Garrett was 2027's. And, it will likely be the 29th to 32nd pick. And, oh by the BTW, when Verse gets paid in a year or 2, he'll be more expensive than Garrett.]]> RockRam RamsFootballFans.comMon, 08 Jun 2026 13:39:03 -0400 https://ramsrule.com/herd/read.php?19,1243236,1243236#msg-1243236 https://ramsrule.com/herd/read.php?19,1243236,1243236#msg-1243236[attachment 15400 IMG_7805.jpeg]]]> AvengerRam RamsFootballFans.comSat, 06 Jun 2026 20:45:52 -0400 https://ramsrule.com/herd/read.php?19,1243235,1243235#msg-1243235 https://ramsrule.com/herd/read.php?19,1243235,1243235#msg-1243235

2026 Training Camp: Cowboys will hold joint practice against Myles Garrett, Rams

FRISCO, Texas — Training camp just got a lot more interesting for the Dallas Cowboys. When they get to Southern California in late July, there will be no shortage of headlines in their carry-on luggage, including the ongoing status of George Pickens and the addition of first-round pick Caleb Downs.

But the Los Angeles Rams have something special going on as well, having recently acquired reigning two-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett via trade with the Cleveland Browns to blast off the month of June.

The two sides will participate in a joint practice this summer, a decision made official by head coach Brian Schottenheimer during voluntary OTAs.

An overhauled defense led by newly-hired defensive coordinator Christian Parker will be tested early by the Rams and reigning NFL MVP Matthew Stafford, while Schottenheimer's offense and offensive line will have its hands full with Garrett and a defense that was one of the best in the league prior to adding the seven-time All-Pro.

This means the Cowboys will get their first look at Garrett in a Rams uniform long before the two sides square off during their Week 15 bout at SoFi Stadium. It will also mark yet another joint practice between the Rams and Cowboys, something that has occurred often during training camp and as recently as 2025 in Oxnard.

It will also mark the second joint practice for the Cowboys this summer, having also signed on for one with the New Orleans Saints and a familiar face in Kellen Moore, the new head coach in The Crescent City.

This will be a very busy summer for a Cowboys team fighting vehemently to improve over their last two seasons, when then fell to a combined record of 14-19-1, missing the playoffs on both occasions; and with a mountain of pressure to become a contender in 2026.]]> Ramsdude RamsFootballFans.comFri, 05 Jun 2026 19:31:05 -0400 https://ramsrule.com/herd/read.php?19,1243166,1243166#msg-1243166 https://ramsrule.com/herd/read.php?19,1243166,1243166#msg-1243166
