QuoteRams43 I stand by my statement that '13 is a turning point season for both Sam and Schotty. Sam is ascending. Do you mean he will ascend faster? One problem with boards is people have their own definitions of words. A "Hot Seat" to one person is not to another. There is not set definition of "Elite".

yes, all of them need experience. However, all have one or more things that pressures a DB or LB Pead has good quickness.

QuoteIowaRam I'd like for them to show me a few posts where anyone here actuallt says they hate Sam I'll admit I'm not Sams biggest fan , but I sure don't hate the guy it is common parlance. It's not literal, it's "player hater" . . . it's you don't like Sam. It's a word that is used in sports talk radio, tv, fanspeak, and boardspeak. Other wodes apply if you don't like hater.by Blue and Gold - Ramsrule.com Football Forum
you look at Sam's situation and then look at QBs who were/are on a real hot seat. Mark Sanchez is on hot seat. Quarterbacks where there is a backup and a qb who is struggling is my definition of a hot seat. Being a Ram fan I know what a hot seat is. James Harris was on a hot seat . . . Pat Haden was on a hot seat . . . et al.by Blue and Gold - Ramsrule.com Football Forum
QuoteRockRam The idea that Bradford is on the hot seat resides only in the minds of some fans. Sam is Rams QB. Sam is not on hot seat. In 2011 the hot seat was under Spagsveney. Sam completes 60% of his passes for 20 TDs and 14 INTs and leads several come-from-behind wins, and Rams let Lions score with 5 seconds and lets 49ers tie game, then we miss FG. 9-7 was within reach. In 2010 9-7 was alby Blue and Gold - Ramsrule.com Football Forum

QuoteGreatRamNTheSky Vermeil was on George Allen's staff and then he left the Rams for the college ranks and somehow ended up on Prothro's staff at UCLA along with Rich Brooks. Prothro brought both Vermeil and Brooks to the Rams with him in 1971 and after Prothro was let go in 73, I believe Vermeil stayed on Chuck Knox's staff until 1974 or 75 when the became the head coach at UCLA and that Broby Blue and Gold - Ramsrule.com Football Forum

Quotepsxpaul Actually, given that Kaepernose and Wilson are both right-handed option QBs, I wonder if it makes sense to keep your best OLB on the strong side. The option play would typically be going to Oggletree's side then, wouldn't it?

About those two Rams teammates By now, you know who the St. Louis Rams drafted. But do you know who they didn’t draft, but did sign as an undrafted free agent?

QuoteguinnessramAnd it's silly to think I am anti-Sam. No more than silly. It's stupid lying to make a point. But that's typical. You once called those who liked Sam as Samentologists. That was ideal example of hate. Only an Anti-Samite would come up with a twisted point of view.

and it wasn't talked about, but in watching games, regardless of what was being called, Mikell was on TE side after the switch, but was usually near the LOS and Dahl played back. Of course, if it's some form of Cov-2 then both have half the field, and if it's Cov-3 cloud then each has 1/3 of the field, so that is same.
