Dude - no offense, but shut the fuck up.
50’s are (will be) the greatest decade of your life.

60’s are cool as well.

70’s- not so much.

IMO, Bruss is much better suited for Guard then tackle and 6'5 310lbs is not bad I also believe the reason that Snead prefers that prototype is because they pass block better. It's easier to teach someone to run block, but pass blocking is more of an art.

Now I believe Bruss is more of a natural guard than Edwards so I believe he'll fit well at RG and even offer more in the run game then Corbett did. However, again, I can't disagree with the success because the goal is to keep #9 clean and with the addition of Bruss at RG and only giving up one sack outside, should make his adjustment to the next level, that much easier IMHO.

The funny thing is the relationship they all have in Edwards & Havenstien.It was Mcvay who has stated the goal is to have Bruss starting from day 1 at RG next to the Veteran Leader in Big Rob.

Don’t know what you mean by success & goals if #9. I do agree that Bruss could be better than Corbett.Then again it’s still early I think a lot of things can happen from now & the first week of September.

What I liked is even though BubbaRam say Edwards is never going to play LT it was nice to see both him &’AJ Jackson got that bit of experience.Add The Rams won the game as well.

My doubt? I said I felt a lot better about the CB (and S) room since reaquiring Hill and drafting those DBs. Or are you talking about my doubt prior to that?

Robert Rochelle & David Long.Yes Hill is a solid piece who is a proven CB.I think the concern was having an extra CB to replace D. Williams.

RR31 looks like the best pure CB besides RAMsey.His Willingness to learn & skill set is there,now he just has to prove it.David Long & Hill have played 2 seasons together competing.Hill is the better of the 3 because of experience & his fit with The Rams defensive scheme.
The cool thing about Hill & Long is they can switch (interlock) between there skill sets making it easier for them to switch & confuse the offense. Hill is such a willing tackler & Long just needs that confidence or push to get better.He is on the cusp & working again with Hill should bring that out.
These young draft picks will find it hard to break into the 48 on game day.

Yes. Didn't really hardcore it as far as looking at the International games and eliminating certain things.
As far as your first point, I totally disagree. Very similar as last year in regards to Division games.

Click to expand...

Our third division game last year was week 10. This has it four weeks earlier. Slight difference but noticable in that the league likes games that matter later in the season. I’d wager at least both Niner games are second half of the schedule. Not a huge criticism just something we’ve seen them switch to in recent years. I wonder if KC wouldn’t be a primetime game but that would likely be the game of the week type national audience

Yeah, the Rams have a number of NFL sons. Lake & Yeast this year. Jefferson. Hopkins. Anybody else?

Someone else mentioned it but it'd allow us to match up better vs our prime NFC challenger, the BUCS and their bitch ass QB Brady

I don't know what you are talking about. Tom Brady retired.

He retired! No Backsies!!!

Round 4 @ 142

CB Decobie Durant: Another player at a position of need. Durant is slightly shorter than the average CB at 5'10" but of more concern is his shorter than average arm length of just under 31". His strength is his agility and speed. Decobie is destined to fill the SCB position in front of Deayon, and should be a substantial upgrade. His speed will allow him to stay in phase with a receiver who takes him deep across the field. He's got good ball skills and plays aggressively. He's a work in progress who needs work on his technique and especially his route recognition skills. I like how he plays the position, which is aggressive. That said his weakness is his run support. He's willing but he needs a lot of work on his technique. This is where his short arms come into play. He misses too many tackles and does not shed blocks well. Overall I see him as a solid SCB prospect who could easily see rotational snaps this season. I see him filling the SCB position for years to come. This would set the Ram starting CBs as Ramsey, Rochell, and eventually Durant all with 4.3 speed. The Rams got good value for the pick finding an eventual starter at SCB.

Even Goff knows that the sun sets in the west and rises in the Yeast

Or collides with a cheerleader and dislocates his shoulder!!

Just had to give one to the Creed Crowd.

I've been poking around on the Rams UDFAs a bit and watching some games and highlights and stuff and it seems to me that maybe they get lucky on a couple of these guys. You never know with them of course and each of them are a longshot but collectively the Rams tend to get one or two every year added to the roster so here's the two I think have a decent shot.

Jamal Pettigrew looks the part. He's a big dude and an eager blocker so he's going to be in play for a TE4 blocking role. Lower level of competition and he's not athletic at all as TEs go (saw a 5 sec 40 time listed for him which is slower than Mundt) but for the role he'd need to win his biggest competition are the bottom feeders from the other positions like WR where the Rams have some badass teamers. Seems like he has a shot though.

Jake Hummel is really interesting because that Iowa St defense 3-3 stack he sometimes stacks but mostly plays the stud/bronco roles which are basically SS type roles where they enforce in the box and also cover a bit. He's not a large dude but he is athletic and not afraid of contact. I'd say he's quick, versatile, and plays to the whistle which is a really nice combo. What he has working against him is whether the Rams want to keep 4 ILBs.

Buffalo. Love getting the HARDEST game on schedule out of the way early. Also, Josh Allen can be inconsistent early in seasons, deadly late.

And every AFC home game last year was a home game, in their home stadium. NFC played true road games.

The international games are nfc vs nfc. There is no nfc vs afc.

The nfc teams will get the extra home game this season against an afc team.

Edit - ah, now I've read your post properly. You're concerned about the 4 nfc teams that have one of their home games as an international game. Fuck em. As long as it wasn't the Rams.

Dammit. I meant ‘I keed.‘ Dummy me

We waited until the second half of S04 was released to start S04. We watched the first 2 episodes last night and it's pretty fucking bad. I mean....how much BS are we supposed to just accept before enough is enough?? Such a shame. They shoulda left it at 3 seasons.

Merlin said:

Yeah I see it that way too. Bruss moves dudes, it's there over and over he's got some power in his game. None of the guys on our depth chart do that very well. Rams need to improve in run blocking and he was targeted for that, and he doesn't give up anything in pass pro either so I can't imagine any of these depth chart dudes giving him a run for it.

Maybe Anchrum. But Bruss is a brute.

Bruss IS the brute squad.

Didn’t the Rams have a deal to play overseas almost every year while Sofi was being built so they wouldn’t have to for a while?

We won't lose a home game for a few more years but we can still play road games abroad.

With Stafford's preference for big targets, it's Harris' job to lose over Atwell. If it's even up or even slightly in Atwell's favor, Harris is the guy. If they make the mistake to let the raw, SPARQ God on the PS, some team will snatch him up in a NY minute

We didn't draft any WRs, so that sixth spot seems to be up for grabs between Harris, Atwell and Powell unless Powell makes it as a ST specialist alone...

Anything can and likely will happen.

On the flip side the Rams drafted Bruss 85 spots earlier than the consensus Big Boards. So some teams may have laughed at them.

Yep. And what I find really funny in all this is the Rams said Bruss was atop their guard board. So they had him over the Pats pick.

Keep in mind there are 3 versions of The Thing: from 1951, 1982, and 2011.

My Dad (who was born in 1940) said the 1951 Thing was the scariest movie he ever saw (because he was 11 when he saw it).

As for the 2011 remake, I don't know much about it.

But we are all referring to the classic John Carpenter version from 1982. So you have to forgive the old school special effects of course. But if you can appreciate good acting and a tense paranoid thriller... then yea, the 1982 version is a great horror movie.

The effects in 1982 wasn't that bad for that time period

I hope they are great. I like Pettigrew’s potential but overall it’s a lot of unknown quantity
