The fact the Cowboys are the most popular and most valuable franchise just proves that marketing is more effective than winning football.

You have to believe that ship will sail in the inevitable future.

I don't think he can be compared with OBJ. The clutch catch OBJ made against Baltimore would never have been possible if Desean was here. OBJ is a real receiver, makes incredibly tough catches in traffic (a la Bobby Trees). All Desean is good at is the "9" route.....run as fast as you can and hope the ball is somewhere near to be caught. Yeah, he made his bed and the whole league saw exactly what was left in the tank.....fumes.

Rams 7-round mock: Mixing offense, defense and special teams for LA

The 2022 NFL draft is just a week away, which is the perfect time for us to put together our latest seven-round mock draft for the Rams. As you may have heard, they'll be waiting until No. 104 overall to make their first pick, the result of trades made for…

You are right, I do like this mock draft, ... in fact it has 4 players who I picked in the ROD mock, CB Zyon McCollum, Edge Amare Barno, P Jordan Stout & CB Demarion Williams.
The only thing I'd have an issue with is waiting until the 7'th round for a RB, although should we re-sign Sony Michel, I'm all in.
jmo.

All this winning has put a damper on my enthusiasm for the draft. Ever since we waited with baited breath to see if we were taking Goff or Wentz, the draft has become just secondary.
And ya know what?
I wouldnt change a God Damned Thing!!
Woot Woot, SB Champs bitches!!!

I was never really a big fan of KoC. Too howdy doody and mixed bag with a poor offense in 2020. Goff shares much of 2020 but either way I agree Coen may be better.

Better WR2 this year. Better QB in second year in offense. And maybe an OC upgrade. Sounds like only injuries or poor line play can derail what should be a better offense in 2022.

Click to expand...

Agree. I am really looking forward to seeing KoC as head coach. Press conferences post game, etc.

He operated a LOT in the background here.

I'm a Mexican food lover. So I prefer Taco Bell. Yeah, its not authentic but its good enough. Their 5 dollar Chalupa box is a good deal. You get a 5 layer burrito, chalupa and soft taco plus the drink. I sub the cinnamon twists for chips and cheese. I don't use the drive through. I walk in, order and grab a bunch of their fire and diablo hot sauces. I have a gallon size ziplock bag full of their sauce packs. I use it on my egg omelets every morning.

For Reeder, the comp pick is an UDFA.

I like the tradition they are building with the amazing LA homes for the Draft. It will make other teams hate us more but that’s ok. They only hate you when your good!!

My custom made dream house would probably look like a 3 bedroom shack, until you take the elevator DOWN to the most ridiculous home theater one could ever imagine.

just posted in the song thread..Happy 4/20

I like the kid, just hope he doesn’t go to a team that is direct competition to us.

The Rams Don’t Need Anything
by Navin R. Johnson
The Rams don’t need anything.
Except OBJ. They don’t need anything else. Just OBJ…and Tyrann Matthieu. That’s all they need. OBJ, Matthieu…and another CB. They don’t need one other thing…not one…oh, wait…they need another pass rusher. They just need OBJ, Matthieu, a CB, a pass rusher, and nothing else. Except OL depth, for sure. But that’s all they need.


What do you think? Is he right? Okay always thought he was kind of a jerk.

Click to expand...

I think Navin is spot in his evaluation of the Rams needs.

It's good to see that he has finally found his special purpose.

This is refreshing on a couple of points... The first being he knows what he wants and the second he seems to know that draining another few million from the team, isn't going to change his or his families lives.
I've been there myself - though the pay scale was radically different!, but changing employers for $5, $10 or even $20K was not going to impact my finances, as much as as a different commute, having to break in a new manager or adjusting to another idiot corporate structure. That part I get.
Coop is definitely a we, not me, character and great to have him as a Ram.

The consensus from this group is that cornerbacks are thin. That runs in the exact opposite direction of our early depth analysis of this draft, as cornerbacks were rated as the third deepest position of this draft. How can that be? The Pro Football Talk article is skewed towards teams looking at the early rounds. As is the case with several positions, few prospects in this draft class have the unquestioned profiles of being NFL ready. That actually benefits the Rams somewhat, as the obscurity over who are the standout defensive backs gives the always-prepared Rams draft team an advantage over other teams.

Thats a new take. If true, the last part makes sense; it could benefit the Rams.

Watch the Birmingham Stallions replay. The one with the fans. lol. But that's why I said I loved the throwback to 2020 sporting events.

Click to expand...

Yeah...at least pipe in the fake covid-19 crowd cheering.

I hope the crowds pick up. Maybe Easter holiday had an affect.

The other thing, is only Birmingham has home games. All 7 other team's fans don't get to see their team unless they travel to Alabama.

I've heard next year they intend to play in their own home stadium. So, I'm just gonna roll with all this, this season!

OK. I love Ramsey in the Star-role. Hate it when offenses avoid a top-cover-corner; and think Ramsey is at his best when he is most engaged and challenged.

Click to expand...

I would like to see a secondary where he can play inside or out and we aren't weaker in the other spot whether that means adding another boundry CB who granted won't be as good as him likely or adding a good slot I'm all for it. CB was my #1 draft need last year and it's not changed at all if anything it's been reinforced this off season.

Let's hope it's a very long time.

And there was some decent football this weekend. Obviously not nfl level players, nobody should have expected that, but there were moments where some players shined. I’ll keep watching.

I actually hope we re-sign Sony Michel. He made a key block on game winning drive in the super bowl.

That was a definitely a cool play. Considering how many QB sneaks we run, we should add that to the arsenal.

We know Cam can throw the ball from his high school days.

The most confusing holiday ever to a brown kid, egg pooping rabbits, and wondering why everything was closed.

"Obstacle,"...?

Rams are 3-0 against Brady in the last two years. Manhandled him in LA once, beat him close in Tampa in '20 and were well on their way to an epic playoff beat-down until Akers got the dropsies.

And still ripped their hearts out at the end.

You haven't heard? Brady was the one who forced all those fumbles to lead an epic comeback.
