Eternal RamnationParticipantI dont care about any of this. I dont even care if the Rams go 0-16.
What i DO care about is seeing Aaron F’ing Donald and Neanterthal Suh PLAY next to each other. I WANT to SEE that. I want to see the dogs of war unleashed. I want to see Ruination. Carnage. Slaughter. Shock and Woe.
Thats all i care about. I dont care about cooks, gurley, or russians.
So wake me up when AD signs.
w
vI suspect Brockers play to be stellar and well worth watching but you go ahead and snooze lots of Sunday night games this season.
July 22, 2018 at 5:37 am in reply to: compare these 2 statements about Donald's contract situation #88372Eternal RamnationParticipantThe thing is the tag situation could get messy cause it could easily lead to this: AD just sits out and demands a trade, and if the Rams don’t trade him, they still have the tag amount counting against the cap and don’t have HIM and don’t get anything for him. So I see a trade in that situation as likely, if it even gets to that.
He lost an accrued year with last seasons holdout loses another on if he’s not in camp by Aug 7 the Rams can keep him with the tag through 2022 so Donald has a lot to lose as well. I think he gets signed soon but just trying to imagine a trade it’s hard to conceptualize what that would look like
Eternal RamnationParticipantWell now we’re set at Wr for a while,.
Eternal RamnationParticipantOh My God the comments for the Jeff Fisher article are just brutal. I feel bad for the guy… he has been the laughing stock of the NFL. I don’t think anyone deserves that.
I think he’d be a great DC or scouting Defensive talent but he’s lost when it comes to offense with the exception of RBs he could pick them. Most of those comments are generous as the Rams never won eight games with him as coach.
Eternal RamnationParticipantA move to the center is a radical step Left. Bernie Sanders is Center/Left and Hillary rotten Clinton is very nearly as far right as Trump. Any leftward movement would be a good thing!
Eternal RamnationParticipantFirst time watching Bulger play and all the hype was on McNabb I couldn’t understand why they weren’t raving about Bulger instead. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uy9Bg5cOmvA
Eternal RamnationParticipantNext time drink kava instead bula!
Eternal RamnationParticipantI think he’s got McVay way underrated as was Pederson who beat Belichick in the Superbowl with a backup QB. Zimmer is a dick and I think he is the next Fisher waiting to happen.
June 26, 2018 at 1:01 pm in reply to: Downtown Rams 6/26: Donald Contract Update and more w/Vinny Bonsignore – Podcast #87664Eternal RamnationParticipantThis a good podcast. Worth listening to.
That was good , better than most.
Eternal RamnationParticipantHe makes decent points but question marks don’t have to be flaws and if the were they wouldn’t be question marks.
June 15, 2018 at 3:11 pm in reply to: informal poll: go ahead & guess…if healthy do the Rams have a top 5 offense? #87381Eternal RamnationParticipanta report from whiners mini camp starts about 3.07
June 15, 2018 at 2:49 am in reply to: informal poll: go ahead & guess…if healthy do the Rams have a top 5 offense? #87373Eternal RamnationParticipantIf health is guaranteed then how could they not improve from last year. Everything I’ve seen says there’s a noticeable difference with this year’s O. A full Ota and mini camp (on offense) they look sharp . I’ve watched some from other teams and they aren’t sharp like the Rams. I watched some from the Whiners and they were pretty laid back same with KC.The Rams have an intensity, or focus that I don’t see in other teams.
Eternal RamnationParticipantWhatever leverage he has comes to an end on Aug. 8, the deadline to preserve unrestricted free agent status at the end of the 2018 season or be downgraded to restricted. It’s a position Donald put himself in by holding out during training camp last year and losing an accrued season as a result. If he holds out again, he’d lose all rights to UFA at the end of the season.
And that means:
The Rams would preserve the right to use the franchise tag on him for 2019.
They’d also have the right of first refusal on any deal he agrees to with another team.
Or, in the event of not matching any offer, recoup a first-round pick.
And in a worst-case scenario for Donald, it would also mean potentially playing the 2019 season at roughly $7.4 million should he fail to secure a new deal with the Rams or another team and the Rams simply re-upped him at 110 percent of his 2018 salary.
It only gets worse if he holds out of games before the drop-dead deadline to preserve at least RFA status – the 10th game of the season – as that means absorbing fines and losing weekly paychecks. He’d have to be extraordinarily confident he could convince the Rams to eventually meet his demands to go that route. But really, how realistic is that?So, as you can see, the little leverage Donald has right now is evaporating pretty quickly.
It makes you wonder at what point he realizes he’s running out of cards to play. And how quickly $20 million and change in annual salary and $70 million or so in guarantees begin to look good enough.
Ouch!!!!
Eternal RamnationParticipantI hope that all the Ram players kneel and win every game.
Do you think Trump would invite them if that happened? He is such a turd.
He already killed one pro football league and that was before twitter.
Eternal RamnationParticipantSOME thought that was the buzz. It was bogus. There was some message board panic about that but the reality according to regular observers at the time was that he was fine.
Yeah that make sense I do remember that aspect now that you mention it. Still like what I’m hearing now a lot better.
Eternal RamnationParticipantWasn’t the buzz on Goff last season’s OTA’s that he was struggling throwing pics not looking sharp?Everything I’ve read about this seasons OTAs says he’s sharp even read somewhere he’s “on fire”.
Eternal RamnationParticipantHe’s shown more than Jimmy G has in 4 years but they’ve sure bought into his HOF destiny . Maybe they already wrote the story that Goff’s a bust and they’re just trying to hold out until it’s true. Goff and McVay are a great team. He’s shown growth that’s hard to miss . Remember after the Skins game the knock was he couldn’t read defenses and would lock on to Kupp fast foward to the Hags game when Earl Thomas said in his post game that Goff was getting better and actually moved ET off with his eyes. The ball was there in that game Kupp dropped it Kupp fumbled what would have been a 14-0 lead on the vikes. He killed it in the PA game granted having Gurley makes that a lot easier but imo he sells it better than most. 27 tds to 7 ints there are several QBs rated higher than Goff that weren’t even close in that dept. I think you underestimate Goff at your own peril this year. I don’t remember him throwing perfect 60 yard bombs in last years OTAs.
Eternal RamnationParticipantDidn’t Brockers start out his first season with a foot injury?
Eternal RamnationParticipantZn I think you mean 4/7
Eternal RamnationParticipantLa ram on the cooks trade
“IF you just want a player than can garner attention on deep routes you don’t have to give up a 1st rd pick and $8M per year for it.
Go watch the Jacksonville playoff game where they knocked Cooks out of the game.
Get physical with this smurf and you can take him outta his game.
He’ll hit some deep routes on occasion and that will be it!!
I don’t like this deal at all!!!
…
Why have TWO passing teams given up on him already?He’s only 24 and on his third team already, why?
I liked Cooks coming out, but after seeing how you defend him in the NFL he lost value for ME.
With NE as well, because I’m pretty sure I know why they traded him.
Limited tree and ….Soft!
Cooks had a fantastic game against the Jags in the AFC title game. He had 6 catches for 100 yards and then had an additional 2 pi penalties for about 30 yards each.
All together he was targeted 10 times and 8 of those targets resulted in positive results. Including the pi penalties, Cooks accounted for 160 yards in the title game. And that’s against what is supposed to be a talented secondary.
Yeah actually Cooks got knocked out (concussion) in the Superbowl and N.E. doesn’t make it there without him. Cooks is definitely not soft, he’s not a big physical guy like Sammy but he is faster and runs better routes. If you watch him in N.O. he lines up all over the place his tree is extensive, honestly I don’t know what LA is talking about. My guess on why N.E. traded is they lost their LOT, Amendola and traded Jimmy G. A 40 something QB with no LOT, no backup they need to move up in the draft.
Eternal RamnationParticipantI love it! Cooks a 4.3 burner that runs great routes and has great hands as well. I don’t think your getting anywhere close the that level a player at 23 in the draft. Sure it’s only a year but they’re already trying to extend him and with 100 million cap space next year if they like him they probably get it done. If Wade thinks Ebukam and Littleton can do it I trust him.
April 2, 2018 at 12:50 pm in reply to: espn NFC west panel: Do Rams have best overall defense in NFL? #84803Eternal RamnationParticipantThey have a point on both inside and outside LBs but Donald , Brockers and Suh would supplant any of the other teams’ mentioned starters at their positions
Eternal RamnationParticipantGiven OBJ’s most recent problem L.A. would not be a good place for him. The strategy of trading draft picks for proven players discounted for attitude or behavioral problems seemed to work last year but if your turning half your roster over every year the culture your trying to build with all talk of ” family” becomes a soulless corpofamily like the cheatriots. OBJ is an amazing player but he has also been amazingly selfish to the detriment of his team and instead of maturing it seems like he’s regressing with this latest demand of wanting a new contract coming of a season where he barely played.
Eternal RamnationParticipantI believe Joyner was gone without the tag he is thought of very highly around the league. Last season it was night and day when he was in the game . He got hurt in the 9ers game and I think he came back in the London game. So many plays. Of course I like Watkin’s potential as well but I don’t think the Rams could afford him at the tag level. Might just be me but I didn’t like some of the low effort plays, quitting on routes etc.
Eternal RamnationParticipantDonald ,Brockers and Suh would be insane!With the Rams secondary. Well it would be long boring games full of false starts sweeps and stretch runs and punts, lots of punting. Westbrook did great at nose and Brockers really came alive when they slid him to end. I trust Wade to come up with a winner.
Eternal RamnationParticipantOf fucking course they are.
Eternal RamnationParticipantWonder if it means they keep Tavon?
Eternal RamnationParticipantToo much for the Rams. At least he didn’t go to the niners!
March 13, 2018 at 3:25 am in reply to: sammy watkins to stay? … ie. sammy, Rams, market, drama #83933Eternal RamnationParticipantSammy’s a different cat and he likes his current team
Eternal RamnationParticipantMy issue is redzone offense.
Here’s a stat. NFL Team Red Zone Scoring Percentage (TD only) https://www.teamrankings.com/nfl/stat/red-zone-scoring-pct
Rams were 17th.
Interestingly, look at who the top 5 were:
Jacksonville
Philadelphia
New England
Green Bay
New OrleansI agree zn that was frustrating. I don’t think it’s as bad as the stats make it look because they had a relatively large number of scoring plays outside the redzone but still it was a noticeable problem in some games.
