Are we back to the Trade Woods and Cupp threads? If so, can we put those to bed for the year. We're not trading 2 of our best offensive weapons. Periodby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
This is kind of the McVay way. The scheme takes a while to master, and you are expected to block. Jefferson didn't see the field much last year either and he had size and pedigree. One thing I hope the Rams do is stipulate a weight for him to hit by mini camp or training camp. Teams do this with too-heavy lineman sometimes. Here it would be the reverse. If he's truly 155 (is he?) then heby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
I think the Rams see Hollins as a long term book end to Floyd. He seemed to be excelling at it. The committee / platoon subbing for him now is good while he's hurt, but there are injury questions in the group - Obo and Lewis, the Pittsburgh player will have his ups and downs - he doesn't have a ton of experience, and Garrett is still learning the game at the pro levelby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
You have about half a dozen guys on the Roster eating up the majority of cap space. You fill in the other positions with late round or undrafted players, practice squad sign ups, etc. Those 'non-core pieces' add kind of mix and match. Most them are, as you would expect, inconsistent. They can have a great game and then string a few stinkers together. Elite players (or core players) playby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com

They are private contractors, so yes, they don't have a place of business. You think a pro athlete is just going to saunter into Massage Envy chain store? Private chefs and dietitians - which a lot of pros use also have no place of business - do they sometimes have sex with their clients? You are presuming that everyone behaves like you would if you were getting a massage. This seems to beby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Have you ever gotten a legit massage, or a deep tissue sports massage? Lots of athletes swear by them for recovery. Maybe the places you go 'slather you up' and invite you to touch them 9 out of 10 times. That sounds like a massage parlor to me. And where does that 9 out of 10 figure come from. I'm guessing you just made it up.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
They are trained, licensed workers who do a specific job. Not sex workers. How would you feel if you showed up at work and your employer exposed his junk and put your hand on it? Is he just 'hitting on you'?by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
He's made his money, like Bradford, and would be a great veteran back up. Might get another shot ala Teddy Bridgewater, but who knows.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com

Dolphins season is already in the toilet - maybe a late round draft pick or 2?by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
I imagine he's looking to put some games on his resume for a job in 2022. Are they going to kick Gino Smith to the curb? Guy has played better than some thought, but his old turnover problems are starting to resurface.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Perkins may be the back up next year, but I wouldn't trust him to start in some must win games down the stretch if needed.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
McVay tends to let his offensive draft picks develop, learn the system, etc and not throw them out as rookies. Sort of tracks Van Jefferson's timeline. So you add in this and the fact that Atwell seems to lack even a glimmer or hope for good things to come. His returns are terrible, no burst, no vision, the punter laid him out like he was a child. Can you imagine him trying to block onby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
What about Cam Newton? One year deal, not sure we can fit what he wants money-wise. Helps 2-fold - keeps him away from Seahawks and give us a security blanket in case Stafford misses time. I like Wolford last year, but he looked like a rookie in a preseason game yesterday. 2 terrible passes and an ill-advised run option. Yikes. Perkins may not be ready to step in at this point.

So they took Gruden's name down from the ring of fame, but AB who nearly killed a child - throwing furniture off a 14th floor balcony, and is the suspect in several sexual assault cases is still playing for them. You're right about the 650k emails - there have to be some that make others and maybe the league look bad, maybe that's why we haven't seen them. Maybe some Kapernick stuff buried inby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
There's what should happen on paper and what actually happens on Sunday, To quote Chris Berman - 'that's why they play the games'. On paper we should have rolled over the Jets. We know how that went. Giants and WFT games were a little closer than many expected last year as well. Let's save all this easy schedule talk to when they're through this stretch.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Not all kickers can kick it through the back of the end zone. Sometimes you have to angle it, in case it comes up a little short or the returner decides to take it out. Kickers are asked to help the coverage teams out with ball placement. He mis-hit them. It happens. You could take up one of your 53 with a specialist who just booms it out of the end zone every time, but do you really want toby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Drop offs are happening around the league. Is it coaching, players, offensive schemes? WFT- defense was supposed to be a strength with the players they have. Night and day from last year to this, what changed? Dolphins - same thing as Washington - they've been bad this season Colts - defense was supposed to be good again but to give up that many points late in the game (last night).by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Extra points, missed field goals, it seems like a bad start to the season for a lot of kickers. Not going to worry about it much at this point,by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Really helps the game play that an LB can be #4 but a sky judge? A sky judge is sheer lunacy! Oh right - changing numbers mean new jerseys and jersey sales and money that goes to owners. Sky judge - well you have to pay a sky judge and who wants the games called correctly at the stadium anyway?by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
I don't know that I've ever seen an NFL game where the punt is blocked and no one goes to get the ball. I mean NO ONE. The moment it was blocked I was thinking maybe a scoop and score, but oh no - the ENTIRE punt team turned and ran away from the kick and down the field. The Seahawks punter had all day to pick up the ball, run around and then kick it again. I mean, have you ever seen that hapby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Not sure why. Again, has nothing to do with Morris. Again, I don't like our defense this year at all, but all these stats don't explain anything.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
I'm not a Morris fan at this point and agree he was given the keys to a great defense, but resume? He's coached defenses and defensive positions around the league for years. What was Staley's resume? DC at John Carrol Universtiy?by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Not a great throw on 4th and 1, Lions turn ball over. Fumbles snap - turnover. Strip sack - turnover. When he had all day to throw in first half he looked good. Packers D and secondary are terrible so take it with a grain of salt. 2ND half - needs to step up and give his team a chance and he folds. Can't handle pressure, can't keep his hands on the ball.
