In practice, I did hear that Lampkin wasn't dominating against the Rams' number one defense line like he did versus the Cowboys' defense.

The question I have early is how Dedrich & Limmer were starting & cross training before Lampkins even got a chance to play.

Yes: he could have been grammatically correct.

Good vibes after this performance. We have depth and I feel better about the OL. Bennett has grown and looks like a bonafide backup now. RAMS!

I can only speak for myself but I lost a ton of interest in UFC when it went to ESPN+
This will be a great move. Hopefully they bring back Ultimate fighter, I loved that show

Tano said:

However, we probably won't know how he would do against starters because Shelton and Limmer will be at center first/second.

Click to expand...

I think they've moved on from Limmer at Center, because they haven't made time for him to improve on the calls. Just reading between the lines, or trying to fwiw, I'd say that by the time this year's camp and preseason is over the depth chart at C will be Shelton > Lampkin.

If something were to happen to Shelton you insert Lampkin. Limmer from there would be considered if he were to not be up, or if he were to struggle.

Limmer is first dude off the bench at Guard. Then Dedich, though his roster spot may still be up in the air.

Tackle who the fuck knows. It's a mess and probably doesn't matter once you get past Jackson & Hav.

I've got a new chat notification, but cannot find any new chats.



Any ideas?

Never mind: I logged out then in again, and it has gone.

The decision was soooooo easy, and you still fucked it up Demoff.

dieterbrock said:

Of course there is. Rumors were rampant that he made the pick. If he did, then his answer is nuts, if he didnt and told the truth there is nothing wrong with what he said.

You have a valid point and I should have post link. But since it's Haslam , i will retract my statement.
but he is by far the worst owner in the league. And that was the point of my post . to show how
grateful we should be to have the ultimate owner in Stan the man.

This is hysterical. Whatever your take was on him as a player aside, this guy is a riot

Date of death of the Niner Aura - October 10, 1999.

Classic SoRam. Actually one of his more coherent posts.

I don’t dislike the dude because he’s just a bit of a comedy act/fantasy football guy. No way shape or form is he a serious analyst.

LouisvilleRam said:

I remember when we drafted him they said he had the best win rate % on passing downs in all of college football last year

Click to expand...

In this “age of information”, (Bill Bruford), the Rams seem to be keying in on certain numbers that must not have carried as much weight once upon a time. They are flat out nailing it in the draft lately.

Outside of Stafford Verse is the hardest Ram to replace. Very glad he is fine. He is ready to have a monster year.

dieterbrock said:

What is fairly certain is that Manning either will or wont come out for the '26 draft and the Rams will either draft him, or another QB or not draft one at all.

DzRams said:

I'd put Goff ahead of Jimmy G., too. I would add though that Goff also has to have the right situation.

Click to expand...

Goff is heads and tails a better QB than he was when he left us AND his elite oline plays a role in that too.

Guy is now a more pure drop back passer and consistently seems to get to answers later in the down then he ever did with the Rams and from what other people have said the Lions offense offers him more answers than McVay's did (don't come for me with pitchforks! - McVay's offense is great and has answers to what the defense throws at you but the menu isn't as varied from what I hear).

Ground Chuck said:

That’s why I never check getting onto the freeway. F-them other cars if they can’t see me coming.

As for Stafford, I agree it could be any of those things or a combination of years of football hits. Our boy will be primed and ready come September!

Dumbass from Tempe AZ. Born and raised Los Angeles Rams to St Louis back to Los Angeles. I'm 44 years old my prior user name was Battering Rambo. Apologizes to all prior.

This thread will get 5 views. My bad ROD I see the other topic and I'll be contributing tomorrow.

PhillyRam said:

With Kyren's pass blocking I could see him emerge more as the go yo guy in terms of RB1 when in a 3rd down or any passing situation. Let the young guys take the hits between the tackles on 1st & 2nd down more often. Obviously, Williams will as well, but start to shift him more to those critical passing down situations.

Click to expand...

I don't know...Kyren's pretty young himself and they just paid him. I think he'll take the lions share of the workload with Corum and Hunter occasionally sprinkled in.

The latter two will get significant snaps if injury strikes KW.

People tell me I have many stories also. Yours are much better.

I find myself holding back. I just grew up in the right places at the right time.

Things just happen.

Don't stop.

I like hearing all of your stories. I am reluctant to share some of mine as well because if comes off as a "humble-brag" which can be pretty nauseating. But I don't see it that way. Like you said, @SWAdude (just got off one of your lovely flights Monday AM from Boise. wonder if you've ever flown my ass around.) But these cool stories should be shared- we are just in the right place/right time.

It doesn't make me cool that I was once Joe DiMaggio's hero. Just a fun story I've shared over the years (too many times according to my wife)

My counter to that is PUKA had at least 4(5) TD’s against the Cowboys
from what I saw.

Troy Reeder was all over the field.Early on Omar Speights wasn’t getting out to flat in time?
He did get into the above video.I won’t take anything away from him & if the starter like he is now.That would be a good thing.
Tony Fields will look good in the preseason as well.He held his own.
IMO better than at least either Dolac or Pooh Jones.

Stoops held his own with Covey & Mumpfield.

Looked like Ethan Evans got out punted by about 5 yards IMO by Dallas punter.

could go negative?

At the End Dallas started trying to get into it.
Le Collin’s Dallas Old Tackle 77 was getting frustrated & others.

Saquon had 345 carries for 2,005 yards and 15 touchdowns in 16 games last year. I'll root for that.

Click to expand...

That would be over 5.8 YPC. KW isn't fast enough for that. Nor will he be able to play against the Rams 2024 run defense multiple times to pad his stats like that.
I'll root for him since he's on our team, but I'm also being realistic in my expectations for him.
If he's going to survive for the entire 3 year extension, we aren't going to be able to run him 350 times per year, and if we do, that's bad management by McVay and the coaching staff.
