Seahawks Conference Call with Aaron Donald (9/14)

LOS ANGELES RAMS DT AARON DONALD
CONFERENCE CALL

(On the frustrating season opener for the Rams)
“Just moving on. That’s the past, nothing we can change, but just move on and prepare and get ready for the Seahawks.”


(On whether he’s worried he’ll receive a suspension for last game)
“No, I think I’m good. Everything is fine as far as that, so I just have to get prepared for the Seahawks and get ready to play them like we have to.”

(On him losing weight this season)
“I had a belly. I just bulked up a little bit. I didn’t lose any weight, just put some muscle on. When you look good, you feel good, you play good.”

(On how he prepares for being double teamed)
“You just watch film. You study film and you find ways to beat being double teamed. You find a way to beat that and get the upper hand. There’s going to be a lot of things that might change, slide protection and things like that, but you just have to find ways so they won’t slow you down and continue to have success. Try to make some plays that will help you get the win, anything you can do to get in the best place to make some big plays. Just training, lifting weights. Like I said, studying a lot of film myself and technique. We’ll put the pads on, go on out and come practice time, try to work on the things that I trained to do in the offseason.”


(On whether he cares about being known as one of the best defensive linemen in the league)
“I feel like everybody who plays this game wants to become one of the great football players and be talked about. That’s always my mindset, to be talked about one day. I have a long way to go, but when you talk about the future you always talk about the Warren Sapps, the John Randles, the guys like that. One day, I put the body of work in and keep getting better each day, and I’ll be in that conversation one day.”


(On his collision with Marshawn Lynch last year)
“Just that big plays help us win. Michael Brockers made a great play, got to it late, he actually got there before me, and hit Lynch then I just went on too and helped clean it up. Whether it’s a divisional game or the first game of the season, that was a big win for us.”


(On whether it will be odd not playing against Marshawn Lynch)
“I’m not mad at it at all, that I’m not going to see that guy. That’s definitely a tough running back. It’s going to be different but I’m happy that guy isn’t suiting up.”


(On being on the West Coast time)
“I’m used to it, I had to get used to it. Everything is good so far and I’m enjoying it.”

Keep your COOL AD.. You came into this league as a humble bright star and the Rams need you to be the humble warrior and defensive leader for many years to come.

I am not surprised by the fine. I'm hoping he watches that tape over and over again. He seems like the kind of player that will learn from it and move on.

I don't know about the roughing the passer, @Ram Quixote . I thought it was for grabbing the Whiner by the neck and then pulling his helmet off. The thing I didn't see at all was him coming in contact with an official. Did anyone actually see that? It seemed like he always had a player between he and the officials.

I did not see him physical "handle" an official either! Weird.

Man... all you who are going are so fortunate. That is going to be an epic event regardless of the game's outcome. I am very envious of you guys.

For those of you who may think you spent too much dinero... That's crazy talk. Your experience will be priceless. Again, I so wish I was going too.

I really hope that a bunch of you can all get together and meet face to face. That is always a lot of fun.

And for the love of God... PLEASE TAKE SOME PICS. Especially if some of you are able to get together.

Michael Silver tweets on Fish & Goff

It is not Fishers mo to trade away draft picks. Yes Fisher wanted Goff in February, March, April per Silver. Reading between the lines, Silver doesn't say or indicate, Fisher was ready to separate himself from all the draft picks given away to get Goff. In short, management might have said the price is worth paying for overriding Fishers concerns. Also, Jim Thomas from St.Louis Dispatch (whatever you think of him he has some connections to Rams), thinks Fisher lost clout last year and he doesn't have the same say he had before.

Fisher would like to bring on rookies slowly. If he had full say, Goff would not play for 5-6 games at a minimum. Then he will dress him as backup and may be have a start or two. But know everything appears to have been accelerated.

I smell smoke coming from Rams indicating something is cooking.....

Frankly, I don't see what you're seeing. Silver specifically responded to the rumors to call BS. If Fisher didn't want to trade up for Goff, that would make the rumors true. No reason for Silver to respond.

The Rams had to trade away picks to get Goff. Silver confirming that Fisher wanted him the entire time (even before the trade) directly contradicts any rumor that Fisher didn't want Goff and didn't want to trade up for Goff. No need to read between the lines.

It is not Fisher's MO to trade away draft picks? We traded away draft picks for Tavon Austin, LaMarcus Joyner, Mark Barron, and Case Keenum prior to the Goff trade.

David Carr: Difference between Carson Wentz, Jared Goff is the reps

Merlin
It is a fact that QBs who can run the read option automatically check defenses a bit. It keeps them honest enough that the rook sees less aggressive blitzing and testing of what they know due to the requirement to sustain gap integrity and crush the pocket. Great examples abound that back that up, too. Wilson is the most recognized example, although he is a freak who actually had a veteran grasp of the offense in his rookie year. But Cam Newton is the best example, because he didn't know squat his rookie season.

But the funny thing is that while pocket QBs take longer to develop they have much longer careers. And every bit as much success as their more athletic counterparts. The reason for this is that the ball moving in the air is faster than any player can run, and by extension guys who can think fast and dish that ball quickly to someone in space will consistently hurt defenses AND survive in this league longer.

I would still take Goff over Wentz for that reason. I think Wentz is going to get dinged up a lot, because his play style is physical and aggressive and as a coach you don't want to change that too much because it's who he is. Goff isn't wowing folks now, but it's going to be entertaining to see people reverse course as they start to see what he can do. The key for him is not getting killed right out the gate when he still might be shaky on certain protections in real time.

WTF does Demoff mean when he says we "... you shouldn’t have to trade off short-term success for a long-term vision."
Does he have a plan on how to create short-term success? Was that plan rejected? And how "long term" are we talking about? These comments make me laugh, there is no thought in what is said, so why even say it?
