I agree that's the intriguing part.This was the quote that had me interested.... Uncharted territories???
“I would say it’s more like we’re dealing with things internally. I don’t know, exactly…these are kind of uncharted territories,” McVay said. “Out of respect for the situation, I want to keep it internal. You guys will have more information later on.”
Not anymore, the league changed it you can't trade a conditional pick like we used to. Have to wait until the pick is rewarded to trade it.
Akers' apologist!I'd say that speculation is unnecessary and the trying to trade him premature and incorrect based off what McVay has said. It's not football related which would in my mind eliminate attitude. As McVay said let the situation play out and we'll get more information. Out of respect for the player but we know there's little of that around here for Akers or anybody else that's in the fans dog house.
Yup. All of want him to be ok. But the signs are pointing to him not being on the team for long. So naturally we start thinking about what they will do to replace him. His family can prioritize his mental and/or physical health over everything else. As fans our focus is on the team. No matter what the situation is with him things have to keep going.I'm not sure where the notion that people are disrespectimg Akers is coming from. We are all speculating based on how McVay responded to why Akers wasn't available. It sounds like Akers may be gone so people are naturally going to start thinking of who can replace him. I'm sure all of us hopes he is mentally ok.
This isn't true. I've been shitting on him for more than a year...My whole issue is such a short time after everybody around here was concerned about Tua's health and mental well being after the concussions people are jumping to conclusions about Akers and his well being. We know it's not play related or McVay wouldn't have kept running him out there remember Hendo and Brown had no carries last week. If Akers performance was an issue this isn't how that game plays out. Hendo had more snaps than Akers but didn't run the ball that really doesn't sound like a coach that's tired of Akers on the field.
When we don't know what the issue is I just find it very shitty people are trying to trade him and celebrating getting rid of him potentially instead of thinking about the player especially as I said so soon after all the concussion issues and worrying about players. When it's Akers right while we have a 5 or 6 page thread about people shitting on the guy on the field we're treating him like this. Let the situation play out all this speculation just doesn't sit well.
Especially one that got hurt in OTA’s was on IR and upon return suffered a high ankle sprain on the opening kickoff. Yeah that’s someone we really want to rely on.I'm sure but relying solely on a rookie RB that has hardly played is foolish if you ask me. Maybe pairing him with Hendo, I guess, but I'd be underwhelmed there. Hopefully I'm proven wrong if they take that route. I still think they'll add to the running back room somehow.
Rams are projected to get 4 compensatory picks in 2023We have no 4'th round draft pick for 2023, ... yet.

- Round 6: 3 picks
- Round 7: 1 pick
“Was it over when the zGermans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!! Let’s go!!”We will rally around Darrell Henderson and we will play mediocre offensive football.
Might be as simple as the guy let the SB and his limited success go to his head.Yup. All of want him to be ok. But the signs are pointing to him not being on the team for long. So naturally we start thinking about what they will do to replace him. His family can prioritize his mental and/or physical health over everything else. As fans our focus is on the team. No matter what the situation is with him things have to keep going.
But he did little of anything when it mattered last year. It would be delusional for him to think that he did anything but give Tom Brady a chance to come back with that damn fumble he did in the divisional round.Might be as simple as the guy let the SB and his limited success go to his head.
The crazy thing is he must have worked his ass off to come back from his Achilles, yet now he is being lazy? Odd... but then again maybe he just let last yrs successes make him think he is above everything.
Im not trading for a RB.If we want a HB, I bet we can acquire one. Call the Browns up and ask about D'Ernest Johnson or Kareem Hunt. Alternatively, call the Bills up and ask about Zack Moss.
