I vacuum seal mine and use the water bath to get it about 124° for an hour and a half or so, depending on size. Then a bad ass sear for some color and crust. Delicious. Somewhere between 4 and 5 for me.

Everyone in my area hunts. And no one gives a shit.

CWD CAN'T transfer to humans. It doesn't effect the taste. But, know what can? Not killing that damn thing on impact. Last thing you want is a deer who ran through the damn woods for miles getting it's adrenaline pumping.

CWD has been around as long as I can remember and I'm 40. I remember my uncles talking about it just like this when I was a kid.

I've also NEVER heard someone in real life talking about killing a deer with it. Because the ones who are badly effected aren't the ones moving out moving during the rutt.

Right? Just fucking with you @Mister Sin

Feel better soon, Jemma! Let me know when you're feeling better so I can offer all my criticisms of your mock.

I’m feeling much better, but I’d like your opinion on TeSlaa, in particular. He excelled at every athletic score known to football at 6’4”, 214 lbs., so I’d love your thoughts on whether or not he’d be a worthy sixth round pick.

Like Taylor, Parish, and the two Cal Bear picks a lot.

Have a bit of a soft spot for the Golden Bears, and their defense was solid last year. Taylor popped on tape the most when I watched Nussmeier, even more than Kyren Lacy (who would’ve been a second round pick, were it not for his horrible idiocy and callousness). Not flashy, but as reliable as they come. Parrish is my answer to those who think we need extra corners. He’s small, but punishing and physical, like a wolverine or, dare I say, a Honey Badger as a corner.

Glad you're out of the hospital! Love your whole mock. I am feeling we need a stud cb to lock up the backfield for a few years. If you had to modify your mock to take a cb with one of the Rams 1st three picks, who would you go after and what would you modify to make that happen?

I feel like the defense, with the strong front, could really benefit from improvement at corner. Linebackers will work themselves out. A stronger defensive backfield would make the defense better exponentially...my opinion.

Click to expand...

What I would do is trade down to the Bills spot (who jump for a falling O-lineman and trade the last of their seconds), and pick Revel, who is my favorite corner in this class. Follow that with Aireontae Ersery if he’s there, then Stutsman, then Ferguson (Oregon tight end). Probably won’t trade for a quarterback in that scenario (thinking to kick that can further down the road), and use the fourth on Nohl Williams, if he’s still there. Rest of the draft doesn’t change, except for Buchanan; will probably grab Zakhari Franklin at that pick instead; Landman, Speights, and Stutsman make it easier to take an UDFA at linebacker.

Neil039 said:

I like your Beck, Stutsman and Williams picks. The trades are favorable (like another poster stated), not sure they can happen. Not a believer in Hendon Hooker trade.

As always, thanks for taking the time to post and give all of us something to think about. HOPE YOU FEEL BETTER

Click to expand...

True, the trades are favorable, and I understand not wanting Hooker. Just trying out new scenarios. And thank you for the kind words.

Thank you. Trying the anti- UTI pills and a new powder. It won’t stop the UTIs for good (it’s almost a given thanks to the nature of my old injuries), but hopefully, it’ll stop them for the next few months while I’m doing boccia tournaments (so don’t be surprised if I miss the third day of the draft; I’ve got two tournaments in two consecutive weeks, one on the last of April, one on the start of May.), so I hopefully don’t miss those.

I don’t think Rams live in dens. They just stay in the mountains, outside. They should change the name to something else.

Haha, damn that Bech comment

Updated

In 81, I was 14...I hadn't ever experienced a Rams losing season prior to that. That was rough... fortunately after another rough strike year in 82', they bounced back for the rest of the decade. Of course the 90's loomed ahead. They were brutal.

I suck lmao...Thanks for letting me know

You don't suck. It's easy to miss stuff this time of year.

I look at it like someone may have a different point of view then I do, this does not mean one of us is right and the other is wrong, we just look at things from a different perspective. If someone disagrees with something I post, I try to move on and not get into a pissing contest with them because it is pointless, and nobody wants to read that crap.

I don't think Boom signs until a team is desperate

Merlin said:

Yes and I'll say that I think both Skattebo and Martinez are going to be studs in the NFL. One or both of them may end up getting hurt early on, as happens with the RB position. But I think both of them are more than just some big dude toting the ball. Martinez reminds me a lot of Lynch when he came out, that combo of strength and contact balance, some vision and surprising athleticism. Skattebo is very similar and I think potentially dangerous in the pass game as he has good ball awareness for shit like torching backers or safeties on seam routes or turning dumpoffs in the flat into big gainers.

This is why, as much as I do like Hampton and a lot of the speed options in this draft, I'd rather see the Rams opt for some power addition to the backfield. I think McVay's offense is outstanding with that threat and they could get it in round 3 from either of those two above. And there are other power options, this class is something man. Lot of teams are going to have good backfields after this draft.

You had me at Skatteboo.

plus not sure if most of the guys here would want to see sally rand's fan dance or salome's dance of the 7 veils .... i mean i get it, you're all happy to see women in their birthday suits (ok, you men are ) but would you just rather have the tables w/virtual food and drinks and perhaps i can persuade the playboy bunnys to again wait on you all?....i may even be able to get a few playgirl models to wait on the women here....but .... man that's a tall order dieter!!! guess i need to start making arrangements now, eh? lmao

thanks for the well wishes everyone....and the smiles....and dang it dieter!!! now i have work to do to get you your virtual christmas party arranged! lol

WestCoastRam said:

If you get a chance, watch the Davante video with Jourdan where she talks about who Rams might sign (they hadn't gotten Ford yet) on Dline.

Basically, she thought Bobby may not have fit with new line coach, they may want a more veteran presence on the line, and they were missing a consistent NT who could stop the run. She talks like this (prob not ILB) is their answer to stopping the run next season and in the playoffs. She also mentioned that they may attack run stuffing DT still in the draft.

Click to expand...

The Rams resigned Murch.Who are The Rams going to CUT NOW!! The Rams also have a couple DT on practice squad they like.

The numbers don’t add up.Your counting on Jourdan to know what The Rams are doing in the draft & FA ??? NO MLBer ???

I don’t get some of you poster who believe that isn’t a MAIN PRIORITY in the draft.

EACH SEASON you have to look at the roster going in. EVERY SEASON under LES SNEAD he always does this.

OH Oh OH - under Sean Mcvay they’ve NEVER had a FIRST ROUND PICK !! What were they thinking in 2024 ? ( blue font)

By the way happy for Bobby Brown,he needed to go & mature.He’s got a lot of talent.
Bring in POONA as a Veteran with this group is a perfect fit.
-During the season there were a couple of posters here pounding the table on the 2 DT becoming FA’s & better than what the rams have.

This is true. Maybe they're not all in...more like mostly in. They seem to be taking a very disciplined approach to the salary cap this time.

Click to expand...

Yeah, that's my read... also, Rams tend not to force things so if there's no vet out there that tilts the field, they're not gonna just do it.

Can anyone identify a player that they should even trade for right now?

snackdaddy said:

Checking in Mems. You ok this morning?

Click to expand...

I am. Parents don’t have power, and their area got hit hard, but everyone’s okay.

But I’m in the hospital for the third time in the past two weeks, and the second time with a UTI (which are foretold by extreme nerve pain in my legs or feet). And I had a lovely reflex syncope this time where I fell from the hospital bed to the floor (felt like I was going to get sick, leaned over the side, fell unconscious and fell to the floor.)

It’s been fucking lovely.

I just hope everyone here has been doing better than me.

Yeah. It’s already been posted there. I’ll lock this one. Cheers!

I was watching it on one thread and when I finished I went to thank the op and add a this is a must watch but the thread was gone and there I was all alone, just me in an empty room. Parallelism strikes again!

PFF gives him a 59.6 grade. That's not great. Plus teams seem to favor bigger corners nowadays. I'd rather the Rams bring Witherspoon back and sign an experienced linebacker for insurance.

Click to expand...

I'm willing to bet he would perform better on our defense. He was pretty fantastic in college and worth a shot. Still young too. I'd like ASJ and Witherspoon back, then we can literally go BPA.

Hard to argue with Paranoid where so many of their most iconic songs came from but over the years Sabotage has become my most repeated listen.
