The is no buttermilk in football or party YUCK!

I started out a Packers fan probably because when I was 7 yrs old I read “Throw the Long Bomb” and it had a forward by Bart Starr. I read everything I could get my hands on because Dad wouldn’t let us have a TV.Of course every monday I would ask all the kids about what was on TV. One friend said his Dad said the Rams were the greatest team in the world.That was all it took to complete the conversion.A little while later Dad began taking us to La Casita Mexican restaurant after church.The cook would take me over to the counter where he had the Rams game on TV! I saw the horns in action and this was still Fearsome Foursome days so there was no turning back.

First let me say that I honestly don’t care where they end up but I can’t believe Kroenke would sell the Rams to buy the Raiders. That would make zero sense.More likely the Rams go to LA and the Raiders to St.Louis.

Bernie’s crowd in Minneapolis was amazing!3700 inside standing over a thousand more standing outside (not enough room)This thing is blowing up. He will trounce Clinton in debates or force her to lie. #FeelTheBern !

I remember watching this game live. Hadl to Jackson all day long. One of the very best Rams teams of all time

Happy Birthday PA Ram!

Happy Birthday RFL !

This one was a struggle because the determination was if no good could be said nothing would be said.There was some good there.Most of my interaction with TD was political discussion,knock down drag out affairs you would expect from two opposite views.More times than not they would end with TD offering the olive branch of respect,”you’re not stupid” or “You’re bright” and then an offer to teach me some economics. Also noticed in these discussions that TD was a great Father to his kids,making sure they worked hard.He did in fact teach me what a wheelhouse was.When the rare discussions turned to football,specifically Rams football we were in agreement every time I can remember.

Eternal Ramnation… I may have to steal your handle for my fantasy football team.

It used to be Inglorious Bradferds. And that’s where my head’s at.

I thought about Gurley Men, but I don’t like that vibe.

Foles Gold seems too plain.

“That’s HAH-venstein” is a joke only Mel Brooks fans will get…

“We’re Jamon”… I couldn’t hardly even type that…

I am warming up to “Pancake Breakfast” what with all of our beefy OL…

but just sayin… if you see Eternal Ramnation in some random fantasy league… it might be me.

I mean, I don’t want to play this year, but my friend is very persuasive…

And if I think of a really good name (c’mon, Inglorious Bradferds was a really good name before he went down…), I’ll have to play…

It’s all yours Mac do it proud!

Has to be the tallest draft ever, the OL at 6’7″,6’4″and 6’6″ an one of the few Qbs that can see over that mass of humanity at almost 6’6″!

Brian Quick is another Rams player from the 2012 draft class whose contract is up and is still an enigma. He got off to a torrid start, but teams started making adjustments on him. It’s no different from Chris Givens or even former Rams wideout Donnie Avery. The jury is still out on Quick. The fact that he probably won’t be ready until the start of training camp is not a good sign.

I think it was a lot different than Givens or Avery. Quick was unstoppable before the injury,it wasn’t “adjustments on him”

Why keeping Lance Kendricks was a Rams priority

EARTH CITY, Mo. — By now, you’ve probably already heard the story of tight end Lance Kendricks taking a slightly smaller offer to stay with the St. Louis Rams rather than head south to the Atlanta Falcons.

As Kendricks explained, it was a move made in no small part because of other things on the periphery, such as a close relationship with tight ends coach Rob Boras and promises of an expanded role in the passing game.

From the Rams’ side, many of those things held just as true. Upon promoting Boras to assistant head coach/offense and Frank Cignetti to offensive coordinator, the offensive staff began evaluations from last season. One undeniable discovery was Kendricks’ role in pretty much everything that they do.

“Coach Boras had a lot to do with him coming back,” head coach Jeff Fisher said. “They talked throughout the process. When we sat down and made the offensive change, the offense sat down there [and] started reviewing our run game and the passing game. It became apparent to them that Lance was very important to us moving forward. As an organization we recognized that, so it was important to get him back.”

While Kendricks played 569 snaps in 2014, which was second among Rams tight ends and in the neighborhood of 60 percent of the total offensive snaps, it’s not so much the number of snaps as the flexibility he gives the offense within those plays. According to Pro Football Focus, Kendricks was asked to run-block on 55 percent of his plays, to pass-block 9 percent of the time and to run a route on 36 percent of his snaps.

It’s in the run game that the Rams particularly value Kendricks because he’s able to be a lead blocker from the backfield or on the line or even out in space.

As for the idea of Kendricks turning down more money elsewhere, Fisher said that was no concern of his, and he’s just happy to have Kendricks back in the fold.

“He was talking with — I believe Atlanta was a key competitor with him,” Fisher said. “It may have been the case where there were a few more pennies on the table there than there were here, but we’re excited to get him back.”

So in Fisher speak they will be trading Kendricks?

The 2015 draft class of receivers is one of the deepest in recent memory, and there are all kinds and types for NFL teams to consider — everything from top-tier game-changers to perfect complementary pieces, to talented players in need of development work. It’s time for Doug Farrar of Sports Illustrated and Greg Cosell of NFL FIlms and ESPN’s NFL Matchup to move through this group of pass-catchers player by player and determine their best NFL traits and fits.
