Puka - “Retirement at 30”

Jorgeh0605
Its whatever. I said alot of things when I was 23 and thought I had the world figured out. But the reality is, once you make a certain amount of money, you don't need to do this job anymore. The people that continue love this sport more then anything else. Quite frankly, I think retiring at 30 is probably the healthier decision if he still decides to do so then.

RIP George Foreman

Nicely said. And yeah…that slow looking jab that seemed to miraculously find home was a thing of beauty for real boxing enthusiasts. Absolutely THE most devastating jab I’ve ever seen. Others could pepper an opponent with the jab - Marvin Hagler comes to mind. But George’s was like a hay maker for most boxers.

I always loved Evander Holyfield ( probably my favorite boxer of all time) so it was kind of depressing watching that fight. At the same time, it was one of my favorite match ups. Two of my all time favorites matching up but someone had to lose. What a fight though. The decade and a half older George took it all the way and had Evander hurt several times. But Evander was such a warrior. I loved and hated that fight.

Rest in peace Mr Foreman.

I can relate to the mixed feelings with the Holyfield fight.
Evander said after that he was out on his feet a couple of times during the fight and that he had blood in his urine for a couple of days after from the body shots.
He said Foreman had more power than anyone he ever faced.

Funny how it evolved into that. In 73, thought the Rams passed well with Hadl and then after they traded Hadl to the Packers in 1974 and went with Harris, Knox ran the ball more often under OC Ken Meyer and did not allow Harris to audible. Harris talks about on how there were times, he wanted to audible, but could not.

When Knox went on to Seattle, he had to open it up one year with David Kraig, but for most part always ran the ball first and gain the reputation as trying not to lose instead of trying to win. Eventually Seahawks owner Ken Behring was able to get Knox to resign and Behring stated I am tired of a team trying not to lose and hired Tom Flores.

Are we that good?

Maybe, but the Eagles had more familiarity with Daniels as they had the benefit of playing Washington two times this season prior to the Championship Game. One of those games in late December, if I'm not mistaken.

I chuckled, at first, when D'Marco Farr said that Washington was the team he did not want to see prior to the start of the playoffs. But, he got me to thinking once he reminded me that last year's defense just had a tough time corralling those types of QBs too often.

Hey, maybe they win. I just don't think it would have been the given most seem probably believe.

I will give you that but again I want to stress our offense would have been able to score against Washington's defense because their secondary would not have been able to play man against Kupp and Nacua and those were the types of defenses that we struggled against.

See that's what I take exception to, is the need to label a social structure of a world that none of us were raised in as toxic. Particularly when those men of that time saved the world from very real forces of evil. But I am fine with the disagreement.

Just wanted to throw in some appreciation for an actor who gave men a role model of what men have always needed to be in order to safeguard their loved ones. And I think this desire to act like it has no value, or that there is no place for strong men in the world ahead is a very dangerous trend for humanity as a whole. Because some culture will not abandon that, several in fact, and who will be there to stand against those forces the next time it is required.

But then maybe I'm just taking this unnecessarily into some shit. So excuse me and let's disagree.

It’s all good. I used toxic, but I get that’s a buzzword these days.

It’s not speculation or opinion, the number of WW2 vets and Korean War vets that died from self medicating with alcohol usually, is astonishing and it’s because in large part to the shame and how the Hollywood Propaganda machine worked. Even in the early 90s, getting mental health assistance at the VA was difficult and problematic and people in public associated veteran mental health only with homelessness or violence

Anyway, happy to disagree. It’s what makes this country great.

As things stand today what do you feel the Rams biggest needs are in free agency and the draft?

If we had to play Detroit or Philly tomorrow for the NFC championship, which position would help us most if we landed a dominant player?

My honest opinion:

1. Center
2. Cornerback
3. TE

If I am looking long term in the draft I go OT, CB, WR, TE, and QB.

To go to the Super Bowl this year I go:

Center - to run the ball down throats and give Stafford better protection to hit Adams and Puka.

CB - Shutdown a side of the field and commit more guys to stop the run of Philly/Detroit.

TE - A go to chain mover at TE to go with Puka and Adams would create defensive issues everywhere.

There will be some big time impact studs at TE, and CB in RD 1, though a bit of a move up might require moving some 2026 draft capital.

There doesn’t appear to be a ln impact center in this draft and Mcvay isn’t going that direction anyways.

League wide it would be cornerback. The Rams entire build on defense is set up to support a star CB and pass rusher (they just don't have one at CB now).

Center, btw, unless you have a guy doing line calls for a rookie QB is the least important of these positions.

And then we lose another valuable piece of our draft team to that same asshole.

"Temme played a big role in the Rams' recent run of great draft picks, including receiver Puka Nacua, according to a feature from The Athletic's Jordan Rodrigue. Temme helped build and run programs that determined which players to target and — ultimately — what picks to make. He was also one of the few members of the front office who sat with the key decision-makers like head coach Sean McVay, general manager Les Snead, Gladstone and scouting strategist Nicole Blake during drafts."


Anyone else been sick of all this stealing our staff shit since... say 5 years ago?
