Ok. I’m going to say this once. And if another member wants to break this simple rule again, I will ensure you a time out.

Please read rule #6 thoroughly:

6. This is a fan friendly site. We respect the team, players, and coaches. We respect cities; St. Louis and Los Angeles. Any derogatory terms toward other members, members of the Rams organization, or cities will not be tolerated. There are clearly grey areas but the goal is to keep excessive negative comments away from quality discussions.

Boy I sure hope Troy and his family doesn't read this board. Can you imagine how you would feel if you knew how this whole fan base outside of your family feels about you as a Ram. I will trust the Rams coaching staff and front office on this one.
He shouldn't feel badly at all.
He is doing something at a level that no one commenting here can do, or ever could.
Dude is piecing together a longer than average NFL career, has a Super Bowl ring (as a starter on that team no less) and is making good money (compared to non NFL players) to do it.
He will have a lot of opportunities if he wants to coach, scout, commentate, write or whatever after he is done playing and if he wants to stay in football.
He shouldn't feel badly at all......although Im starting to feel badly about myself.

Me thinks Snead will have filed this away to be used against them in a future transaction.
Well, the Eagles supposedly liked Dylan McMahon. Their beat writers thought he would make their 53 last year. He was cut, but they apparently tried to get him to their practice squad, but Snead claimed him. So it happens.

Was he injured?

I can not believe we cut Lampkin. Then Philly snatches him up. You know, that Super Bowl champion team with that beast of a offensive line. They thought they could use him
But we cut him ?
I think in the end he will be better than both of the centers we kept.

Generally speaking I LOVE the decision making process of Snead and McVay, but I'm concerned they made a mistake with Lampkin. They shouldn't have relied on the "unwritten rule bro code" as the only protection against having Lampkin stolen.

It's even worse that it was the Eagles that poached him.... a smart organization that understands the value of a talented but undersized center.

McVay better watch out, cuz if Lampkin becomes a solid starting center in a couple years, I may have to resort to writing a disapproving post on a fan message board!!! :angry::fire1::emergency:

Uhm, if I remember how Practice squads work.........any player on one can be signed by another team to their 53 man roster. So all this Lampkin stuff is strange, (unwritten rule etc).

Lampkin needs time to develop and it won't happen this year and maybe not next. Keeping him on the 53 man roster for the Rams would be stupid.

The practice squad is a great concept, but it is a crapshoot. The Eagles obviously wanted Lampkin enough to put him on their 53. None of this turns Lampkin into an instant star. With the Rams luck he would have progressed perfectly and a good team towards the end of the season signs him away.

McVay has already addressed all this.
Its a coach speaking so, cant be held to anything and things can change at anytime but, he said Shelton is coming in and will help with line calls, adjustments and continuity and Limmer still has a bright future with the team (paraphrasing).
I hope so. Would love to have kept Lampkin as depth to be developed further just in case Limmer becomes the starter down the line and gets hurt or, regresses for some reason. Obviously I'm rooting for Limmer to hopefully supplant Shelton.
