InvaderRamModeratorFebruary 15, 2022 at 10:16 pm #136526ZooeyModeratorSapp has changed his tune.
He downplayed Donald the first few years. And I guess that’s fair.
Longevity and consistency are certainly factors.

Billy_TParticipantInteresting interview with Sapp. He was quick to say Donald was a better player than he was, and that’s true. But there were a few left-handed compliments about his run defense and the quality of offensive linemen . . . unless that was in jest. Sapp does have a good sense of humor, so, probably was. Of course, AD doesn’t just go against guards. It’s tackles, centers, TEs, running backs too, etc.
He also made me think of the longevity thing. Olsen made the Pro Bowl 14 times. No other DT has done that. Maybe I was too quick to switch the crown from Merlin to AD the other day.
So, what do you guys think about the possibility of McVay retiring?
February 15, 2022 at 11:01 pm #136529ZooeyModeratorSo, what do you guys think about the possibility of McVay retiring?
Close to zero right now.
He’s not going to coach until his 65.
But he is a driven man, and he has it all right now, and he knows that he has a shot at football immortality, and a loaded team on and off the field. After the glory and relief wear off, he will look at Belichek and Reid and Arians…and maybe even Walsh and Noll…and he’s going to like his chances of elevating his history right now.
He wants more money, and he deserves it, and he will get it. And that will “provide for his family.”
But he’s not leaving now.

February 16, 2022 at 12:00 am #136534ZooeyModeratorFebruary 16, 2022 at 1:16 am #136535ZooeyModeratorLet me add this: the extremely motivated, competitive guys…they are driven.
And while at the moment it may seem like climbing the peak is the ultimate goal, and having conquered it, there is nothing else…
For guys like that…there’s something else. Because Donald and McVay did not work insanely hard their entire lives to just check off a few awards like a shopping list. There is something bigger. Winning twice. Getting on Mt. Rushmore.
A Super Bowl victory is great, but once that confetti is vacuumed up, they’re going to look around at the guys who have two rings. Three rings.
I could be wrong, but my read on those two guys is that they are internally driven to be the best they can be. Not just to win. To be the best.
And a lotta people have one Super Bowl.
Maybe I’m wrong. Maybe this is enough for them, and they really just want to settle down and drink lemonade on the porch for the next 75 years. But I don’t think so.
February 16, 2022 at 9:17 am #136543InvaderRamModeratori think that watching whit and weddle. watching them on their last hurrah. it made donald and mcvay think more about their own careers. family. life after football…
maybe it got in their heads a little…
i don’t know. it was an exhausting season. even for me. and i didn’t even play or coach. that 1999 season went so fast. this season seemed like a grind. they’ll decompress. they’ll talk to friends and peers. ultimately it’ll be there own decision of course.
part of me would respect them if they just walked away. there really is something completely insane about pushing yourself to this limit year in and year out. it’s the best and worst part of being human…
of course i’d love it if they all decided to stay… whit and weddle included! haha!
February 16, 2022 at 12:10 pm #136552wvParticipantAnybody else have trouble even watching that last play by AD? I mean, that F’ing Joe Burrow almost completed that last desperate fling as he was falling to the ground. Unbelievable. That coulda been remembered as a kindof ‘immaculate reception’ type deal. Damn. My heart skips a beat everytime i watch that replay.
So many plays like that in this game. I dont know how long-time Bengal fans survive this. So many ‘what ifs’ in that game. Ah well.

February 16, 2022 at 12:55 pm #136554ZooeyModeratorThere were a lot of “what ifs” the entire post-season.
The Rams shouldn’t have won that game with all the injuries.
But they benefited from the way I drew up the bracket to give them the advantage in every game. They got AZ at home. SF went to GB, and beat them, and I think they were the only team built to beat GB in GB after a bye week in those conditions. Meanwhile, the Rams got the Bucs in good weather with some injuries of their own. Then SF at home, and then the weakest division winner from the AFC.
The Rams caught a LOT of breaks.
At the same time, they earned this trophy.
February 16, 2022 at 6:59 pm #136569wvParticipantFebruary 16, 2022 at 7:34 pm #136570wvParticipantDidnt find that Peter King vid interesting, until the 30 minute mark where
he talks about what the rams were left with on offense when OBJ went out.
A lot of media folks just dont talk about injuries for various reasons,
and they will say things like “the bengal defense played great…yada yada” — but the fact is the Rams were crippled.
Anyway, as has been pointed out elsewhere, the Kupp final TD was supposed to be an OBJ route.

that drive with 5 or 6 minutes left will go down in not just rams lore. but nfl lore.
like that elway drive in the afc championship.
the warner pass to proehl. the warner pass to bruce. were both stunning. but this drive was just… i can’t even find the words. it just took me through all sorts of emotions. a roller coaster of a drive. just epic.
February 17, 2022 at 4:20 pm #136612wvParticipantWhitworth. The thoughtful, reflective leader, I would say. They gonna miss him.

February 17, 2022 at 7:40 pm #136622InvaderRamModeratorat first glance this doesn’t look so good. there’s probably a story behind it. the staffords did end up paying for her medical bills, but he just appears to casually walk away as the photographer plummets six feet from the stand…

February 17, 2022 at 8:42 pm #136627ZooeyModeratorIt’s not a good look, and people will be bringing it up forever, so he will never live it down.
But…the guy was blitzed, and in a state of euphoria, and in no condition to respond to that like he would have if it was an ordinary day.
To say nothing of the fact that he’s not qualified to handle an injury. He’s a quarterback, not an EMT, and I’m sure she had appropriate medical help very quickly, and there is literally nothing Stafford could have done medically. But it would have been a better look if he had walked over there and peered down, I guess.
February 17, 2022 at 8:59 pm #136628InvaderRamModeratorBut it would have been a better look if he had walked over there and peered down, I guess.
yeah. i mean. there was a crowd of people down there. so it’s not like he left her there to fend for herself.
it just doesn’t look good. his wife’s response was a little more appropriate. at least show some concern. but the guy was blitzed.
juxtaposed to his reaction when kupp got speared. it’s not the greatest look.
