I think another reason I posted this thread was to demonstrate that with this Ram team it IS plausible that this feat could happen. Can we really say that about another team?

Philly comes close, but I don’t see their special teams being considered the best this year. Minnesota, Jacksonville defenses? Sure. Maybe. But neither of their offense or special teams. New England, New Orleans on offense? Possibly.

But I don’t see another team (conceding that the draft is still ahead) that could possibly achieve the hat trick of being considered best in all three phases, other than your Los Angeles Rams.

. . . and this scenario is a huge part of the beauty of having Sean as head coach---a guy who recognizes that he had to delegate his weakest areas of responsibility (defensive & special teams coaching) to men he could trust more than anyone else so he could focus on cultivating his own greatest strength (offensive coaching).

I was also referring to Peters avoiding tackles at times. He has been quoted as saying "Making a business decision" as in Todd Gurley is about to run me over, ummm I'll make a business decision.

That's why he needs to study film properly and learn how to best take down Todd using his [Marcus'] own strengths against Todd's weaknesses. This is a huge part of what I am hoping the Aqib mentorship will impart to Marcus. As good as he is, he is not going to deny every pass but still must complete the play successfully. At times he will be out there on an island facing a rampaging feature back or a full back in berserker mode, and he must take them down alone to stop a long run or prevent a score. We don't need another 'Neon' Deon 'Primetime' Sanders at those moments: we need an athlete who will seal the deal.

Update more that I study about Brown more it seems some evaluators feel he could be a right tackle or possibly better suited as a guard.

Dont see the Rams drafting a WR this year, have 7 on the roster now including Tavon. Would sub a FS or CB in that spot. Certainly do agree with the other positions drafted.

Agreed and I understand sometimes you always take BPA, however, the Rams already used their first round selection on a WR (Cooks) so they will sign a few UDRFA's to round out the roster for camp, but Safety is deferentially an area where they should add at least one during the draft.

I don't care what he calls those crab leg-looking fingers... I'm not eating them...

I see what you did there.

Of course Jimmy Garoppolo is the 1st QB taken

People forget what kind of limitations he had/has coming out of the draft. Blake Bortles, with as much scrutiny he takes, has been above average in his career. The Jaguars were terrible for the first few years he was there. What makes anyone think Garoppolo would have been any different? Now the Jags have some talent and they were a few plays away from reaching the Super Bowl. And Blake played an outstanding game under the lights.

I cannot wait for people to see how average Garoppolo really is. We’re going to destroy his bitch ass.

But yeah, Aaron Donald would probably go #1 and I would take Khalil Mack instead.

It sounds harsh, but you are right. For years and years we knew that a similar condition occurred with boxers, but for some reason, everybody just accepted that it was part of the game so to speak. I don't understand why football is different.

It’s all about the money my friend. The NFL does not want to get sued or lose money. They’ll dumb the game down just to keep their profit.

Nah. As others have pointed out, this D will resemble in scariness the ‘91 Eagles more than any random aggregation of FA talent.

It would require some shuffling of our current draft picks (starting with dropping down a bit lower in Round 3):

J Sweat - FSU - EDGE - R3
J Jewell - IA - ILB - R3
S Griffin - UCF - ILB/OLB - R4
BJ Hill - NC ST - NT - R5
W Teller - VT - OG - R5
B Toth - Army - OT - R5
R Thomas - JAX ST - RB - R6
S Quessenberry - UCLA - OC - R6

Finishes the DEF and gives us depth on OL.

What depth at OL? Tooth has a 2 year Army commitment.

for the previous 50 years, looking for the last exit to Babylon.

What cool dude Wade is !!

Golic has kept a good relationship with him over the years. Total jokester & keeps things fresh.
I know he makes McVay laugh.

One take also is he goes hey , then I thought Les Snead got to him . With the guess what ?

I've been watching the Commonwealth Games from the Gold Coast in Oz - been watching everything from Lawn Bowls, gymnastics, diving and currently watching women 7's rugby

Rath is consistently the most animated person on the sidelines after a big play.

Yeah, and given that he has similar size and build and haircut— couple times I thought he was McVay. “Is that McVay freaking out and giving the high fives? No, he doesn’t have a headset, must be Rath.”

I'm retired and Game of Thrones isn't returning until next year, so damn right i'll be watching. I'll order pizza, Chinese or Mexican to be delivered, ... hell, maybe all three over the three days, and enough Stella Artois & Harlequin/Blackberry Kush to get me thru 3 days pain free.

We need to make a bet on Sportsbook if Crabtree will be brave enough to wear a chain to that joint practice! Lmao

FFS - you guys are arguing over why we should lock a thread now? I'll tell you what. I'll grant you your wish because I don't feel like having to keep reading this horseshit.

I'll agree with that! I don't think 9-7 will get those 9ers in the playoffs either...so screw them. At the end of the day, Rams only need to have a record of one game better than the other NFC West teams to get in the playoffs. I hope this year we focus on getting the #1 seed, not just getting in the playoffs. History shows the #1 and #2 playoff seeded teams win the super bowl over 50% of the time. Philly was #1 seeded last year and they pulled it out.

Several teams wanted Watkins...His price ended up being...what top 2 wr paid in the league....your market price typically determines your value or worth....

I don't know what Cooks will make on the open market....no one does....

but

I can almost guarantee he won't make what Watkins has commanded.

Again, we don't know. Cooks numbers are better.

C'mon Les!!!! Sammy can play...a lil...put some muscle on those ribs he could be dangerous....

I see there's a thread asking how to kill time before the draft, soooo...

Anybody up for a draft contest?

To keep it simple, I recommend just listing the 32 prospects you think will be drafted in the 1st round (draft slot doesn't matter).
But if anyone has anything better/different to offer up, have at it.

It's hard to imagine the money working.

We have a boatload of younger players to try to sign.

Kinda wondering why those cops have uniforms on? Seems they wanted to see a fight. And I agree that the further away from the field the seats are the rowdier the crowd.

Click to expand...

I thought that too - those cops should have seen where it was going to go, they could have stepped in early on to diffuse the situation...
