    Maybe that’s why Thomas was looking so good in OTAs/Mini Camp.

    He deserves the lions share for sure. That team was so stacked even in 98′ I’m surprised they weren’t much better that year. DV has a brilliant football mind and an eye for talent no doubt and he learned from mistakes and adapted. When he left there was definitely a leadership gap on D an ST.I often wonder what would have happened if DV stuck around for a couple more years.

    It drives me nuts when Martz gets blamed
    for 2005 . They locked him out Oct 10th 5 games in they were 2 and 3. The man had an infection in his fucking heart. How’d they do after he was fired ? Well they sucked ass for a dozen years and counting.

    If inconclusive is a valid reason for retraction

    I didn’t read this as anyone saying normal “inconclusive” was the reason for retraction. It was far more serious than that. Including sloppy method and failure to provide evidence.

    Well if it’s such a poor case so easily dismissed why the forgery ?

    I don’t know if you read the whole article o not but Fellous was found guilty of forgery. Occam’s razor, follow the money yeah but no conspiracy theory. If inconclusive is a valid reason for retraction we need to retract every pro GMO study done to date.

    No I think not. The study came under fire because Goodman in an Ex-Monsanto guy. Using a forgery to prove your point pretty much closes the case for me . Needs more study? Cannabis needs more study 6000 years of safe use, the most studied plant in the history of mankind needs more study but this fraud they call golden rice has shown nothing in near 20 years. Yeah there is some bias here. You don’t need a forgery to feed hungry children in the Philippines . I know I’ve spent plenty of time there.

    That is about the best news I could’ve hoped for. Just think what that does for Gurley and T.A. when Woods can demand coverage by your best DB. When blitzing becomes dangerous.

    They’re way too skinny don’t even look like horns, more like bad handwriting or a crude

    I read (dubious source of course) someone suggest he might get cut before the season starts this year. I thought it was stupid but someone did actually print it.

    Maher’s just another hypocritical establishment dem. I voted Stein HRC won MN. To me that indicates the establishments and corpocrats willingness to back the most hated candidate in history bears the blame. If they weren’t such crooks they’d be shouting from the rooftops Interstate Crosscheck and Trump and Kobach would be behind bars.

    The role of newly added receiver Robert Woods, a steady possession guy, figures to be unchanged, but it will be interesting to see how Austin, a talented speedsters who has underachieved, will be impacted by the arrival of Reynolds.

    With receivers such as Pharoh Cooper, Nelson Spruce, Bradley Marquez and Mike Thomas also in the fold, there figures to be plenty of training-camp competition

    Woods is faster than Britt or Quick he ran a perfectly respectable 4.51 and is most certainly a capable , credible deep threat. Austin needs to learn how to catch and how to defeat press coverage at the line before his speed is much of a threat deep.

    I give it an A. I didn’t know they even had picks this year but we’ve go three WRs that can catch and one burner and I like that.

    I never even watched Kupp play but damn those highlights look awesome! He might not run fast but his mind is very fast. I don’t see him as an Bruce type wr with Kupp having a couple inches in height and 25 lbs. on Bruce. Bruce had a very good top gear that won’t show in 40. Kupp is topped out at 40 yds. Bruce was still accelerating at 60 yards with those gigantic gazelle like strides.What I like the best about Kupp and Reynolds along with Woods is the hands. They all have exceptional hands.

    When else is he going to do it ? He’s pretty much known for bad conduct in the off season. His physical abilities should have him all pro consistently,it’s the effort and general lack of character that holds him back.

    I voted for Stein, can’t stand the Clintons, the DLC, the Dems in general, etc. My own political philosophy is well to the left of even Stein’s. But, to me, there’s just no getting around the fact that the Russians decided, with the help of Wikileaks, to ONLY expose Democrats. This couldn’t help but sway the election results to some degree, because the ONLY party that was exposed was the Democratic party. If Wikileaks and the Russians had published emails from the GOP and the Trump campaign too, there’s no doubt in my mind that Americans would have learned unsavory things about them as well. At least as bad as the Dems. At least.

    I know you’re a Leftist Billy_T. I’ve read your stuff for decades now and enjoy it . I was very happy you returned. I just don’t think hackers would find anything in GOP emails that would make people leave the GOP and vote for Hillary. What could they possibly say?
    “Hey after your interview on Fox tonight let’s volunteer downtown at the shelter and help some poor folks” or maybe “hey lets pencil in next week to work on a bill to ban all firearms “. These are people that believe Obama is Muslim and they hate Muslims .They’re generally stupid enough to murder Sikhs because the ” believe ” that Sikhs are murderous Muslims. My theory is they(Hackers) wanted Sanders and tried to get HRC to pull out for the good of the country but that’s just not who she is.

    The whole Russia hacked the election is just so silly to me. Bots didn’t do and say all those
    terrible things from the hacked emails. That was the Clinton machine/DNC. HRC’s campaign chair was freaking John Podesta who along with Brother Tony were Putin’s right hand money men. Palast found very little hacking at all in the General mostly low tech stuff specifically the 2000 style voter purge of Interstate Crosscheck. The Democratic primary on the other hand was hacked to bytes on a massive scale and the media pushing this Russian nonsense was complicit actually holding a secret meeting/election among themselves and proclaiming HRC the winner before CA.the largest state in the union had even voted. There is mountains of evidence that proves this but because HRC is one badass lawyer there is no legal recourse. Now I’m not opposed to removing Trump through legal means iow without deep state fuckery but I have confirmed Russian’s are laughing their heads off at this influencing elections business.

    Hap and Leonard is kinda quirky cool. Goliath was good hope they do another season but Billy Bob is more of a hit and run guy (Fargo).The Last kingdom was good but only 1 season.

    It’s kinda sad, the first regular season NFL game I went to was The Steelers at the Bolts opener in 1975. The Steelers blew ’em out thirty something to nothing. Most of my time was concentrated on the Charger Girls cheerleaders. I feel bad for San Diego I always liked that town. Oh well if you can afford tickets to the new stadium in L.A. I doubt the 2hr drive/15min flight is a deal breaker.

    It seems to me that this staff knows what the want to do, are changing the culture their plans differ greatly from the previous staff. It just seems like a developmental year. They’ve made huge changes but can’t really start building until they have a full draft. I expect them to develop the identity this year and flesh it out in 2018 through the draft. They need people everywhere since they’ve lost so many and have no 1st round pick. They seem to have confidence in the young LBs coming up. I would say center is the biggest need. I don’t think they’re expect to win right away just get Goff settled Gurley grounded an G -Rob broke down and built up right ( Imo that’s the plan moving him to the Right side)

    He’s still young — Woods turns 25 in April — but there isn’t much evidence that he is developing as a pass-catcher.

    I find this a bit comical. He isn’t developing as a pass-catcher because he was even in his rookie season the most polished WR the Rams have had since drafting Holt. His QBs have been EJ Manuel, Thad Lewis, Jeff Tuel, Kyle Orton, Matt Cassel (For one play when Tyrod Taylor lined up at WR) and of course Tyrod Taylor. That’s a pretty extensive list of evidence right there that the WR’s development wasn’t a core issue.

    The other thing those numbers point to for me anyway is McVay’s ability to get more out of
    Garcon’s skill set increasing every year he was OC.

    I agree with your definition zn and I do think he can be a good one as well. I wonder how many guys could have been #1WRs with a really good QB throwing it to them.Woods can run any route in the game , he can beat press coverage he can get open, he will fight for the ball and wins darn near all of them. He can read defenses , find the soft spot in zones . He has great hands and body control plus he is a great blocker and he is just 24 (25 in April).

    I’ve always been a fan since his USC days. I think he’s going to make Rams fans very happy. A lot of people say they overpaid but I think he was a steal. If he was on a better team with a better QB his production would have been much better.

    Transition year for the team, they are highly unlikely to be competitive this coming season, so why spend $16 million on an above average corner for just one season? It doesn’t make sense to me.

    Especially if we can bring in a #1wr with that money. Oh well I guess it’s already a done deal they’re going to tag him. Snow we’re going to have to work on your handle , I’ve seen more snow in my fridge than outside!

    Hopefully they can get the O going well enough to not need a D that can hold teams to 10 points. I’d rather see them sign him to a nice contract than tag him again. Also he wasn’t near as good without Jenks last year. If the Browns crazy outbid us it’s probably a good idea to let him go, the Browns aren’t known for wise personnel decisions.
