    from Glazer’s offseason NFL mailbag

    https://theathletic.com/879508/2019/03/21/jay-glazer-offseason-nfl-mailbag-mike-mayock/?source=dailyemail

    Have the Rams gotten better or worse? — Scott P.

    Much better without having to go all out with trades and big money deals like they have the last couple of years. They lost Ndamukong Suh, but I would take what Eric Weddle and Clay Matthews bring to that field and locker room over what Suh brought 24/7/365. Not close.

    How does a head coach manage the egos when a former long-term starter, say Blake Bortles or Ryan Tannehill, signs a deal with a new team as a backup? Does it make the current starter feel like they are really on a shorter leash? — Jesse G.

    No, these aren’t designed to make the starter feel that they are on a shorter leash. They are certainly not there to provide pressure. When picking up guys like Bortles or Tannehill, the thinking from the coach is, “Hey, in OUR system, he will flourish and in case our quarterback goes down, we have someone who we think can manage it.” You’re going to sign someone like this hoping that if something bad happens to your starter, it’ll work out with your backup like it did with Nick Foles and the Philadelphia Eagles. Foles wasn’t there to provide pressure in case Carson Wentz didn’t work out.

    Matthews is going to be a superb signing. Very confident of that. Wade gets better and better as he gets the right personnel to execute his scheme, and the Rams should be closer to what he wants on the edge not to mention Clay being a guy who can move around and cause offenses fits. Go watch his film from last year, he gets pressure still. Not an elite rusher but a very good one and Wade’s gonna engage this dude in some fun ways.

    Federal judge in Oakland v Raiders case hearing says he usually encourages parties to settle then jokes, “Don’t you dare settle this case, it’s much too much fun.”

    …great play by the Pats defender. The rams were very very close. So many teams have lost by one or two plays against the Pats. Its been goin on since 2001. Its not like they are the old NY Yankees who would clobber teams year after year. The pats just have some sorta…gutwrenching, infuriating, formula.

    Teams lose and they always think they shoulda won.

    ehhh…

    we’ll see.

    depends on who they draft. if they can draft a defensive lineman in the first round, i think they’re in good shape.

    and center. they need a center.
