Eternal RamnationParticipantThat’s the point you’re missing zn. Every year it’s the same,we’ll fix that. I don’t want to have to put the first came behind us and hope for improvement. I want a 1st game to be a statement “WE ARE HERE”

I suppose it depends on what you mean. Clearly Bradford has a great arm plus a pretty quick release and could accurately throw both 20 yard lasers and low trajectory long balls with accuracy. That’s not Hill. Hill relies more on quick decision making…which is probably his greatest strength.
Still Hill has more arm strength than others we’ve seen, like Clemens, Feeley, and Jamie Martin.
And as you say, more than Cassel.
Actually I wonder if Hill’s arm is about the same as Brady’s. One or 2 tiers down from the likes of Bradford.
Yes I agree completely . I have seen and heard people describe his arm strength as questionable but in looking at what video I can find on him I find no evidence of arm strength being deficient. The velocity is slower which affects accuracy more as distance increases but Hill’s timing and quick decision making may be better than Bradford’s out of necessity . Bradford can wait till the last second and still get the ball there, where Hill needs more time so must decide where and when to throw earlier
Eternal RamnationParticipantWell, i think most of us thought
the Seawhaks would crunch the Pack,
in Seattle.
The question for me is how Seattle
will play on the road once they get
into the middle of the season or so.w

”Obviously, we were the more physical team today, offensively and defensively. I saw supposedly some of the best players in the league not want to tackle Marshawn Lynch,” Seattle defensive end Michael Bennett said. ”Of course, nobody is going to say nothing about that, but I seen a lot of guys whiff on tackles that should have been 2-yard gains and they’re supposed to be the best.”
Seattle had 207 yards rushing as a team and won for the 18th time in its last 20 regular- season home games. Harvin finished with 11 offensive touches, including four rushes for 41 yards.
=============================Wiffing on tackles? Funny how the coach that ran the dirtiest program in the history of college football cheats again by allowing contact in practice and his team tackles better than teams that don’t cheat. Of course nobody’s going to say nothing about that.
Eternal RamnationParticipantOne known factor is for all the talk of Hill’s arm strength which has been described as questionable, Matt Cassel has the weakest arm of any
starting QB in the NFL.Eternal RamnationParticipantThe Vikes are claiming their advantage at QB which is strange because Hills career numbers are a little better than Cassel’s. No one is trying to argue the Vikes D is better than the Rams. The first year for Norv’s Offense they were WCO last year.This is not the team it was in 2012 and the Rams are much improved in both personnel and experience in their Offense so I have the QB match up a draw.Coaching and D you have to give the Rams.Special Teams the Vikes are tough their return game is dangerous their kicker is better than Legatron
Eternal RamnationParticipanti expect us to see a lot of different things come sunday.
donald has been up and down this preseason. i think it goes to show just how difficult the defensive tackle position can be. even for someone as pro-ready as donald.
by the end of the season, i think we start to see the real aaron donald.
I’ll agree with the qualifier that the downs were happening after extended reps out of his position. As per Fisher his position/role is rotational inside pass rusher. A position so rare google can’t spell it. When in this role was when he was most impressive.At every down Nose DT the Center and Guard can adjust and compensate for Donalds quickness but when he comes in and the OL is use to Langford or Brockers we will see why he was regarded so highly in camp
Eternal RamnationParticipantSo Mallet is worse than Fitzpatrick and better than Keenum…. talk about a tight window!
Eternal RamnationParticipantYeah I love how the Cleveland announcers call that a “busted play.”
Well yeah it GOT busted. By Donald.
Yup a real clear example of what we’ve been hearing since April. One of Donalds first plays as a Ram was when he blew up the run play getting into the backfield forcing the back right into Quinn’s TFL against the Saints.Williams got him reps but kept his primary role under wraps this preseason.GRITS I predict a pleasant surprise for you next Sunday.
Eternal RamnationParticipantEternal RamnationParticipantExactly… ink’s not even dry on Goodell’s signature of the letter he sent to the NFLPA and he’s going to be tested on the Ray Rice rule…
Plus, reports are that the victim was both CHOKED and is PREGNANT.
It’s like the guy wanted to throw his entire football career away as fast as possible.
Then… add to that that Donte Whitner told a reporter that Harbaugh had one rule… players could do ANYTHING and he’d forgive them and they’d talk it out… EXCEPT put their hands on a woman. Do that and they’re gone.
So, McDonald is in deep with the league and his HC….
Aldon Smith out for 9 games Dorsey out for the season and now McDonald gone a minimum of 6 games add Navarro Bowman on the PUP for
at least 6 games and I am serious who’s going to rush the passer or stuff the run with those 4 out?Eternal RamnationParticipantDon’t sleep on the the Vike’s TE’s a bigger part of their game now with Norv Turner. As Snow has mentioned all indications are they are looking past us to the Pats. They think the only chance Rams had went down with Bradford. I see the Rams making Bridgewater the starter in the 1st quarter. Our DL is going to unleash on them
August 31, 2014 at 5:09 am in reply to: So glad the team is set now and the season will begin in a week #5634Eternal RamnationParticipantHill does not need to carry this team. He just needs to get the ball to our playmakers. We have more developed players in that role than Bradford ever had. Describing Fisher as arrogant and stupid well IMO that’s not accurate.Time and again similar judgements have been made and proven wrong.They have a vision and access to far more knowledge than fans do. I think you will be surprised by this D when you see the other 80% implemented . We have not even seen all the starters start yet and very simple vanilla schemes . Look at the Time of Possession stats. This team has shown it can move and control the ball and create turnovers. If Bradford is such a bust then why will we even miss him? Hill is not Bradford I’ll give you that but he is not Clemons either and he has more than Clemons had on both sides of the ball
Eternal RamnationParticipantEternal RamnationParticipantEternal Ramnation wrote: Myself I have Bayer way ahead of Cunningham I don’t think that one is even close. I would put Watts ahead of Reynolds.I think Givens has woken and showed his old self the last 2 games.Givens is a missed tackle from a td anywhere on the field and I just don’t see them giving up that speed. Pettis has a niche but has been quiet after earning the title “Mr.Spring”. I like Franklin he has some return skills he understands and runs great routes,makes plays and Watts credited him with the block that got Watts a td in the Browns game.With his limited touches he sure made the most of them. I don’t know if he did enough to bump Pettis but if he gets away I think the Rams will regret it.
So far, at this hour, that we know of, the only guy you list who has been cut is Franklin.
Well he was a long shot maybe practice squad? I doubt they keep both Bayer and Cunningham and could cut them both.After last night I don’t see how they could cut Watts.Marshal was impressed .
Eternal RamnationParticipantWidowmaker Hill
August 29, 2014 at 2:19 am in reply to: I think Sam Bradford will renegotiate his deal with Rams #5447Eternal RamnationParticipantHas anyone heard from or seen Bradford since it happened?
Eternal RamnationParticipantRobert Quinn is better ?
w
vI think Joe Thomas agrees.
Eternal RamnationParticipantIf Martz says Hill can do it ,he can do it.Love him or hate him Martz knows the QB position like few others ever.
Eternal RamnationParticipantI’d like to see the bubble guys get a few reps with the 1s . Franklin Watts Bayer , see if they can contribute or is part of their success
been playing against camp fodder.Eternal RamnationParticipantI’ll be pissed if they let Bayer go. He may be the Rams best receiving TE. He doesn’t have Cook’s athleticism but he’s more consistent…more reliable.
Of course I realize the kid has only three preseason games to his name, but still…
Especially if they keep Cunningham who has shown hands of stone over and over.
August 27, 2014 at 5:46 am in reply to: for those who are arguing Rams shoulda drafted a qb high #5303Eternal RamnationParticipantI know Martz sure thinks Hill can do it . The guy is 6’5″ which helps him see stuff better he’s very tough and makes plays. That audible
where he changed the play and BC went for 20+, this guy is not Clemons.Eternal RamnationParticipantThat would be awesome ! 6 months he’d be back before the draft and well tested by OTA’s.
August 26, 2014 at 6:30 am in reply to: name a recent example of a 34 yr old back up who came through for several games #5201Eternal RamnationParticipantHow about Randall Cunningham in 98′ 35 years old
Eternal RamnationParticipantThe main problem for me is that Bradford injures himself! The first ACL tear was of his own action, the dude is awkward. The re-tear,well I’ve seen
more contact at a T-Ball game there is no way he was ready for a 16 game season. A best case scenario is a full year and no way Bradford is a best case candidate the re-tear proves that conclusively.Eternal RamnationParticipantRams Nation can thank the prodigious amount of rust on Jake Long for ending Bradford’s season before it even began.
I cannot stand Jake Long. He is massively over-rated.
Yes, he can run block. But his pass blocking has been sub-standard since he got to the Rams. And he gets hurt. And we’ve paid him money and kept his spot for him …
And now he ends Sam’s career.
I would far rather have Saffold or a developing G-Rob at LOT. Long has cost the Rams far, far too much.
I cannot stand over-rated hype-masters who can’t play and walk around pretending to be studs.
He ended Sam’s career, guys.
How does he ever dare to put the horns on his head and pretend to be a player?
I understand the emotion but the hit that ended Sam’s career was barely a hit. Looks to me like he’s resisting going down plants his left foot and pushes at the same awkward angle as when he hit the brakes on the first tear. Anyway you gotta know if that was all it took ,it was coming sooner of later.Long has not impressed I agree.Something I am wondering is if Sam re injured the original tear or was it a different location on the same tendon? I see big problems either way so I tend to agree his career is over. I was told if I tore my biceps tendon again after having it repaired that was it . It could not be repaired again.If it was a different tear ,well that’s not good either
Eternal RamnationParticipantWhen you consider he’s already a millionaire it’s not so cold. I wonder if he retired for 2 years and then attempted
his comeback would work for both sides. A 1 year 10 million dollar contract could bring in a contributor in some form or fashion. Maybe hire him on
as an assistant QB coach or something during his rehab.Favre retired multiple times why couldn’t Bradford ?August 24, 2014 at 2:56 pm in reply to: Rams Team Value from Forbes & other "Rams to LA?" posts #4777Eternal RamnationParticipantThe voices of Vin Scully and Chick Hearn will live with me forever.
“Chicky-baby” with his catch phrases like telling you a guy was faked out by saying he was “in the popcorn machine”… or telling you when the game was over by telling you “the lights are out, the eggs are coolin’, the butter’s gettin’ hard and the jello’s gigglin’…” even if there was 5 minutes to go.
Don’t forget the “slam dunk”
Eternal RamnationParticipantNot sure why they posted this as Rams highlights, no Quick, Givens,Watt or Bayer. One play from Britt and the rest was JM highlights. On about
the same level of idiocy as the Browns announcers, inexcusable after last preseason’s debacleEternal RamnationParticipantGlad to hear about the scar tissue. I have some experience with adhesions resulting from hyperextension and it is very scary
at first but goes away fairly quickly. Bradford’s going to need better pass protection than last night and hopefully better durability out of Saffold and Long(Jake)
