Who are the FAs we need in your opinion?

Your argument illuminates the stupidity of choosing Tru over Jenks. For health alone they should have chosen Jackrabbit. But Tru was the guy they kept, he's long and very well designed for press, and I don't think playing so many off looks did him any favors. Wade will line him up on that wideout, in his face, with safeties over the top for the most part. .
I would give Claiborne a 1 year deal before I signed Tru to a ridiculous deal. I would be in favor of a 1 year deal with Tru long as its not over 10 mill

Waufle to Buffalo

I get your point, but nobody on our offensive line comes close to the talent level of Donald, Quinn, Brockers, Long, etc.

And how the offensive line performed is irrelevant when discussing the consistent problems involving the defensive line.
Before Waufle Quinn was a guy who didn't even dress on a few games his rookie year. Before injuries took over he was one of the best DEs in the league. Brockers was raw. He is a very solid DT. I feel Donald would have been good if I were the line coach. Then you have Hayes who developed nicely along with other contributors. The Rams thought so much of Greg Robinson's talent that they picked him over Donald. They compared him to Pace. Maybe if they had a coach of Waufle's level on offensive line they would have developed him too.

Re: OL Coach

Kromer also anonymously threw Cutler under the bus to reporters when he was coaching in Chicago. Told reporters Bears had buyers remorse for signing Cutler to such a big contract and he criticized Cutler's game managment. He later tearfully publicly apologized. How could anyone on the team trust him after that?? This guy seems to make headlines for all the wrong reasons and we're going to have him lead our offense? Please.

I am sure teams around the league aren't big fans of that, however many times when you hear a scoop on ESPN it's because some coach or front office minion blabbed, so while I would never condone it I believe that type of thing happens all the time and they just don't get caught.

The dude is clearly not a centered, mature, and positive member of society. He's got a little bit of a screw loose somewhere in that vacuum between his ears. Should that eliminate him from coaching our OL?

If I were in McVay's shoes, the leak would concern me more than the life lesson he taught those kids. I do think both were wrong, and stupid. But if the dude looked me in the eyes and told me he's onboard, and I felt he's learned something from them, that what he tells me is genuine, then I would be willing to consider him for that job. Some of my best people have mistakes, some of them big, in their past careers. If you want to be a team builder you cannot over-focus on the negatives IMO.

Expectations of coach McVay

NEXT year?
I expect the Rams to win 3 games.

I REALLY hope I'm wrong........

Edit:

What record would be acceptable to you ? -10 wins. See above as to what I expect.
What would you like to see ? -Improved Offense
What gives you the chills -The likelihood that I am right with my 3 win prediction.
Do you have any concerns -I am concerned that we hired the wrong HC which was the result of a flawed interview process.

Bo Jackson: 'I would have never played football'

A lot of people who are affluent won't let their kids play football, or any violent sports for that matter. Funny how that works. But he's full of BS, because when he was young he was hungry as F and full of p!$$ and vinegar and wouldn't have cared.

And if he did somehow avoid playing, he would have been just another guy instead of a megastar. It would have been a waste, because pound for pound I have never seen a dude run the ball like he did. His talent was off the MFing charts. Only guy that compares for his era was obviously Brown.

My counter argument is that had he played football the way he was built for, he probably would have been the greatest running back of all time. But he's not, rather he's a megastar known for two sports excellence. Which is better? I'd rather be the greatest RB of all time, personally.

Donald will stay at his current position, 3-technique

Well, ... this would be a new era, and a Wade Phillips hybrid 3/4, not Robinson's. I trust Wade will evaluate the talent and work his magic based on what his players do best and how they fit into a program he feels offers the best opportunities for his players to succeed. I'm not as concerned about identity as much as I am about producing a consistent winner. We have our history and we have our horns, ... we will soon be adopting a new State of the Art Football Stadium, creating an unmistakably fresh 'identity', blending some of the old with some of the new. It's kinda like the uniform discussion where so many feel the only proper uniform is the old blue & gold (yellow) or the blue and whites, where I am happy with not only these historical unis, but also most of the newer designs as well.
Give me a winning team ... i'll give you an 'identity'. jmo.
As long as our "D" continues the Tradition of making opponents Fear meeting us I'll be happy!!

Jared Goff Rookie Year Highlights.

Random item I find impressive about Goff, I don't believe he had a single delay of game penalty.

It's funny you mention that. I've noticed that too... despite a whole lot of things to digest as a starter, he seems very in tune with the play clock.

That kind of awareness is good to see. It demonstrates to me that he is capable of processing multiple things simultaneously and that it's only a matter of experience for Goff.

Memento's Dream Comes True When it Comes to Coaching Mock Offseason.

@Memento

As always, good job. You know my opinion on the trades (too slanted to our side). The rest looks great!

I don't see this as anywhere near affordable. Robinson, Hayes, Saffold, Austin and Quinn will carry about $25mil. in dead CAP. Whitworth will cost a fortune, Garcon & Warford will be expensive & we'll be hit with another huge franchise tax cost for Tru. Maybe you can breakdown these free agent salaries & dead money for me to better grasp the numbers.

It's doable. Trading Austin, Hayes, and Robinson saves us a lot of money in dead cap.

Todd Gurley welcomes new Rams Coach Sean McVay with open arms


New Rams Coach Sean McVay talks about his vision for the team.

70x70

Gary KleinContact Reporter

Rams running back Todd Gurley had not heard the news.

Then he got a text from quarterback Jared Goff.

“You’re going to like him,” Goff wrote.

“What are you talking about?’’ Gurley responded.

NFL offensive rookie of the year rushed for only 885 yards and six touchdowns in 16 games, a struggle after gaining 1,106 yards and scoring 10 touchdowns the previous season.

So he welcomes McVay, who as the Washington Redskins’ offensive coordinator directed the NFL’s third-best offense this season.

Gurley said that he has followed the development of Redskins quarterback Kirk Cousins and that Redskins running back Keith Marshall, a former Georgia teammate, also spoke highly of McVay.

“He said, ‘You’re going to love him,’ ” Gurley said.

Dolphins block Rams from Foerster

Part of why I wanted Shanahan was that I think Gurley is a great fit in the ZBS scheme. Being able to flow with the line and then one cut and go really seemed to suit his running style last year. Maybe McVay thought the same. However, I don't think the Oline personnel fits that scheme as much

I doubt our current OL fits any blocking scheme. :rant:
