    Les Snead, St. Louis Rams GM, joined The SiriusXM Blitz and talked about how they were always targeting Todd Gurley III, no issues with Gurley’s ACL, and we believe Todd can be a factor for us for a long time.

    With so many teams set up to defend the pass, teams often struggle to deal with a beefy run game.

    Look at how teams struggle to defend Seattle’s O.

    Well, if we essentially look to do it better by having a better OL, a back with the potential to be better than Lynch and a better passing QB than Wilson with better weapons than Seattle has, then we have the potential to be ridiculously scary as a team. Just flat out horrific to other teams because we’re going to be a 4th quarter nightmare to defend.

    It’s not just Gurley, but also Foles.

    If Foles is Faulk, then Gurley is Holt.

    I just got a feeling that some alchemy is brewing this year… and having Mason with his ability to make people miss… man, we’re going to give teams fits.

    Sports is the crucible of human virtue. The distillate remains are human vice.

    Todd Gurley, St. Louis Rams RB, was surprised St. Louis took him with the 10th pick & said his health isn’t a concern.

    You must be feeling a lot better because I see your meds are really kicking in, Mack.

    I’m not sure the Rams’ OL is even adequate yet, Gurley may not play half the year, and expecting him to be better than Lynch when he does is optimistic, and Foles is a better QB than Wilson only in a few of the more remote alternate universes, and in none of them is he the impact player Faulk is.

    I must admit, though, that I am looking forward to the season a lot more now than I was two weeks ago.

    This is an old press conference, but it had a nice youtube link. The link might not last.

    In this video, at about 3:30, Snead says, he expects those two, Jones and Rhaney, to battle it out for center.

    Yes, and he also said he expects “maybe two of the four
    rookie OLinemen to make a run at starting…”

    Snead dropped an Interesting little aside about Foles
    at the end.

    I’m not sure that was about Foles so much. It seemed to be more about the new league rules limiting practice time and the amount of time coaches can work with players.

    i think the key is a top 5 rushing offense. if the rams can do that, then we see something closer to the 2013 foles than the 2014 version.

    and then yeah. i’m thinking playoffs… maybe not anything like 1999. but yeah. playoffs.

    in order for that to happen, the oline has to be fixed, gurley has to be healthy, and gurley has to live up to the hype.

    should be exciting.

    also need to see if bailey and austin can make some strides. does greg robinson make strides. can brian quick come back healthy.

    so many things need to happen… but the potential is there. i don’t think it was before.
