Rams draft visit tracking

You hindsight hammer wieldin sumbishes. :laugh2:

I suspect the Rams were considering Dart and the Giants didn't trust them, which is why they moved in front of the Rams to take him. Now some will point out the Giants had a "deal" in principle with the Rams, but that doesn't mean the Rams can't say they've had a change of heart when the pick is up and the player they want is there. Also it was rumored I think IIRC that the deal they found was cheaper, but if they're calling around for an earlier pick it might indicate the Giants didn't trust the Rams for a player they were hell bent on getting.

Either way I must concede that QB wasn't a big enough priority for the Rams for this season to where they felt it necessary to jump for any of them. That does make sense as well, since QB doesn't help us make a title run this year. And of course the trade offer from Atlanta was the type you cannot refuse. We'll never know for sure, since McVay and Snead are not going to let their real thoughts on these matters out. But I suspect the plan was they had two or three QBs slotted at two or three spots and none of them made it to those spots.

So I don't think Jourdan was wrong. Rams probably told her the truth. They just weren't willing to position for the QBs they liked.

Prayers to our troops

The US played this episode about as good as it could have been played. Offer the peace deal. Use the proxy to punish for non-compliance (which was ironic given Iran's love of proxies). Hit their ability to produce undesired materials and avoid suitcase nukes being made for terrorists.

Key now is let's not get tied up in nation building. If the Iranians rise up that would be great. But they have to want freedom and fight for it themselves or it means nothing. Khomeni and his regime will go to the table at some point.

One difference in Iran vs Iraq or Afganistan is the Iranians are not too far removed from knowing what a western system feels like. They are a capable and intelligent people, so I am rooting for them to rise up but who knows how this thing will turn out.
You nailed it Merlin. The Persians will want their country back

Any Buckethead fans?

I went to Englewood CO, the small venue was SOLD OUT I could barely move. At least I can say it was experienced but nothing like prior times. He did a solid 2 hour set but did not perform Soothsayer in it's entirety.

Denver Saturday night with 36 Mafia and Yelawolf was WILD. So happy I didn't drink much or smoke weed and drove the rental car safely back to Lone Tree hotel that night.

At least I hiked Red Rocks Saturday morning only to realize James Taylor was playing there that night. No complaints overall.

Rams potential Free Agents 2025

When he came in for the stretch run with a season and a Lombardi on the line, he showed his grit and experience and made the plays the Rams needed from him to win a title.

When he was signed to play an entire season, he stunk on ice.

There’s a lesson in there and the bills should know it now after the v miller signing.
Not SO Sure - ? I’m not going to go that far back because I’ll sort of disagree.
Then again how he went out & the amount of cap space was NO WHERE what he brought to The Rams defense. Well can go down that road though.I think just the relationship & leadership he brought was seen when he came back & WON The SUPERBOWL which wouldn’t have happened without him.
I will say he lost a step & it showed no doubt.He still walked away from money on the table to retire ? If I recall right ???

Could have had 10 more sacks

Let's be frank: if that's Stafford in the pocket, Verse is getting the sack. We just so happened to be facing one of the most mobile quarterbacks in the league at his best.
... and that is one of the areas Jerad simply has to get more efficient at: containing the edge on mobile QBs and elusive RBs. He also has to learn to finish sacks or tackles for loss. You cannot have elusive little QBs like the Cardinals midget ducking under your arms to live to make a play out of what should have been nothing.

He will get there. However, I love! the fact that he already sees he can improve so much more on what was an outstanding rookie campaign. :fistbump1:

4th Rd / Pick #117 - Jarquez Hunter, RB, Auburn

I haven’t watched him so I don’t have much to go on, there seem to be conflicting opinions on him. I’ve read that he lacks burst but he ran a 4.4, I’ve also seen that he’s stiff in the hips and not elusive but he was among the leaders in missed tackles forced.
I’m interested to see him in camp.
The lacks burst is bs. I think they might be confusing his patience
with burst. If he finds a hole to second level dude explodes.
The missed tackles is more about would be tacklers bouncing off of him
He has very good contact balance. Dudes got vision and patience.

Saw him press the line of scrimmage on one play and
sucked in DT and LB to wrong gap and then threw one of the sweetest jump cuts
to the left where there was a 2 gap hole and he just exploded to second level.

The RB class was so deep this year that Jarquez may have been a second round
pick in a normal draft. Same with TE class, very deep class.

We dodged an enormous bullet. This could have been the current owner.

In thinking about this, everything that goes through that system is no doubt being recorded at minimum so the coaches can go through their own calls at given times after the game. Wouldn't that mean that the only reason to be listening live would be to offer input or view the calls in the emotions of the moment? In any case, I can't see how this sends a good message to the coaching staff. She can couch it however she wants, but there is nothing but meddling coming from this practice. It's just weird really. But I wouldn't be surprised is Jeruh has been doing it for years.
