Suh signs with Rams – 1 yr, $14 million

yeah. i was hoping for 3 for 30 million.

i don’t really care for a 1 year deal either.

now, the rams must draft kolton miller.

demarcus ware was on nfl network talking about how it might work with suh on this defense. said a lot of stuff i didn’t quite understand. thinks he would alternate between 5 tech and 6 tech. while brockers would alternate between 5 tech and 0 tech.

like i said i don’t quite understand it. i know brockers played 5 tech last year. 0 tech is nose tackle.

6 technique is over the tight end apparently?

anyway. he speculates that he would provide pressure from the outside and the outside linebackers could line up inside and get pressure that way??? i think that’d be reserved for passing downs. doesn’t sound like a base defense to me.

dunno. i’m probably messing it all up. it was over my head.

The #Rams now have seven former first-round picks on their defense

Jason La Canfora@JasonLaCanfora
The Rams have become the rare fantasy football defensive squad. If they can coral all of these personalities they’ll be dominant

Chris Mortensen@mortreport
Rams opposing offensive coordinators and quarterbacks in 2018 just got their hearts rate up.

Among the things Ndamukong Suh liked about the #Rams: Fewer double teams with a loaded defense… and owner Stan Kroenke. Suh admires his business acumen, similar to how he viewed Stephen Ross.

For the #Rams and Ndamukong Suh, the deal is the same one they offered him a week ago. \

Good luck, NFC West offensive lines.

In 14 months, Rams have turned from perhaps NFL’s biggest afterthought to the most compelling team in league. SHOWTIME

We have great stuff coming on Tuesday morning’s pod from Les Snead and @KaraHenderson (who killed it) on the verrryy L.A. recruitment of Suh.

so that makes it.

brockers suh donald

ebukam littleton barron ???

peters joyner johnson talib

maybe they sign barwin back? or have they already? but i like the look of that defense already. i know suh isn’t the ideal fit at nose tackle. but i think he can make it work enough on run defense. and that pass rush. ON PAPER. looks unreal. they’re going to occupy lots of blockers those three. and phillips i think has said is willing to sacrifice some there if it means getting to the qb.

and besides. suh graded out very well in run defense last year. pff gave him a 91 in run defense.

almost definitely they draft an outside linebacker but don’t know which round.

i want miller in the first round. let him learn under whitworth. i don’t think they should draft linebacker in the first round anymore. i don’t pass up the chance to draft a left tackle with his physical abilities cuz who knows when the next chance will be.

and this draft has plenty of outside linebackers to choose from. if there’s no left tackle they like, then trade down.

Yeah, 3 years/$30 million is more or less what I was hoping for, too.

I don’t love this, but I’m not running the cap, so I’m going to forget about it and just be happy to watch the show.

And a Show it will be, for better or worse.

I like Martinas Rankin more. That is just me.

If the Rams don’t win a super Bowl by June it will be a disappointment… https://t.co/zk2Uxe711S

Don’t worry.

Doesn’t matter how you feel about it now.

It matters how you feel about it in January.

if they can draft left tackle in the first round. then you take an edge rusher with the third.

guys who could be available are ogbonnia okoronkwo, lorenzo carter, dorance armstrong, josh sweat, kemoko turay…

or they could go tight end… i wouldn’t mind tight end actually. after all the time spent fixing the dline and secondary. the rams could really use an upgrade at that position. probably the biggest weakness on offense is tight end.

and then you have 2 fourth rounders.

i’m curious as to how they approach the draft. several different ways they could go.

I can see a lot of roll to right or left against the Rams. I just can’t imagine Suh, Donald, and Brockers together. Just can’t wait to see it.
