August 29, 2014 at 2:19 am in reply to: I think Sam Bradford will renegotiate his deal with Rams #5447Eternal RamnationParticipant
Has 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)
Eternal RamnationParticipantrambill from off the net: It wasn’t that the knee was hit….the guy hit him up high and it caused an awkward downward pressure on his leg…it may have been hyperextended slightly.
Bummer is that’s the way it was in Carolina too.
August 23, 2014 at 3:33 pm in reply to: Williams happy to wait for season to unveil his defense? #4670Eternal RamnationParticipantThe master of snot bubble creation
August 23, 2014 at 3:27 am in reply to: Williams happy to wait for season to unveil his defense? #4649Eternal RamnationParticipantWell, I stand behind my assertion that I think that they really want to make a statement in that first game.
I REALLY, REALLY think they want to stuff AP and I’m willing to bet that the coaches are already thinking about that Run D…hard, as in a LOT. Like, Gregg Williams would love for AP to share something with Barry Sanders and have the Rams hold him to -1 yards.
I think Gregg Williams would like the Seattle and SF coaches, especially, to look at the Rams D after the Minny game and just stay up nights worried about it, because…wow. So. Much. Pressure.
While teams know about Gregg Williams’ defenses, he tailors much of what he does based on his personnel. So, HOW he brings pressure is part of his “magic” based on his players and rotation. So, yeah, that first game will be full of wrinkles, as will the first few games, I suspect.
I really do hope that the D lives up to that aspiration and just makes Minny blow snot bubbles while giving the rest of the league’s coaches the vapors. We’ve waited long enough as fans to see exactly that.
Sounds good Mac but not realistic. Sanders’ style was running 50 yds. to gain 10. AP is a power back who can break tackles and once in the secondary he is faster than our DBs. If we could hold the Vikes to a couple 3 and outs early and jump on them by 10 to 14 pts. early that would go a long way in taking AP out of the game. When they have to throw here comes that pass rush we’ve been waiting for. I don’t think we can look past the Vikes. They have a good OL,Peterson and Patterson. I don’t know much about their D but I know the William’s wall is gone as is Jared Allen so Sam and Co could have a big day
Eternal RamnationParticipantGive me Lombardi or give me cake.
Eternal RamnationParticipantShould be easy to identify whether his hands were up or not from the bullets entry location. If the entry wounds are on the under side of his arm
his hands were up- This reply was modified 9 years, 9 months ago by Eternal Ramnation.

August 21, 2014 at 1:01 am in reply to: Brian Quick teaches Casey Phillips how to use a JUGs machine #4484Eternal RamnationParticipantHolt was talking last year about how Quick should be on the JUGS machine every day, nice to see the dedication also nice to see Casey
who is IMO a very good reporter at camp ,her interviews are always interesting she asks good questions and gets good info with them.August 20, 2014 at 11:46 am in reply to: how many WRs/TEs have to step up to have a solid passing attack #4454Eternal RamnationParticipantIf Quick and Britt maintain their current level of play we’re solid.Bailey comes back in Oct and we’ll be rolling. Kendricks was doubled on the TD catch, maybe not by design but in effect. Britt was also in heavy traffic for his catch.With Britt I don’t think 50/50 is accurate more like 95/5 for contested throws.The Offense doesn’t worry me near as much as the D at this point. No PI penalties great but very little pass defense as a whole and the run D is worse
Eternal RamnationParticipantGilbert to Franklin deep ball to beat Roberson
Oh yeah! I like hearing that. Franklin makes playsAugust 20, 2014 at 1:31 am in reply to: Williams happy to wait for season to unveil his defense? #4432Eternal RamnationParticipantFisher said they could do more and I thought…. well yeah they couldn’t do less and stay on the field
Eternal RamnationParticipantBritt,Quick,Cook and Kendricks in the Red Zone is going to be deadly in ’14
Eternal RamnationParticipantDonald is already incredibly strong. He’s a rotational interior pass rusher from what Fisher said. The Pack’s OL focused on him. Running no huddle in the preseason seems like game planning to me.I can see how they would want to practice but they knew the Rams wouldn’t blitz,I even heard it was agreed on before hand.I think there is method to this madness although I was still too disgusted to see it yesterday.
Eternal RamnationParticipantFrom what I’ve read Fisher has really been emphasizing they were very basic on D. I hope they are hiding the real Rams D until the regular season and I hope it’s a successful strategy but I can’t remember that ever happening?
August 13, 2014 at 11:52 am in reply to: reporters at practice, Day 13: articles & twitter reports, Wagoner & Thomas, etc #3913Eternal RamnationParticipanti agree. i read nothing but positive things about this guy. and he had an impressive catch against new orleans. don’t think they should let this guy go.
I read an interview where Franklin explained how he set the CB up, got him to flip his hips and then came back to the ball. For a small school Junior Rookie that is very impressive. I think his experience playing CB in HS helps his game,knowing how to get open and protect the throw with body position.
August 13, 2014 at 4:07 am in reply to: reporters at practice, Day 13: articles & twitter reports, Wagoner & Thomas, etc #3898Eternal RamnationParticipantReceivers Austin Franklin and Stedman Bailey had strong outings in the one-on-one passing drills. Franklin caught back-to-back touchdowns against Rodney McLeod with some sharp route running. Bailey continues to consistently get open and make plays when the opportunity arises.
I hope Franklin gets the spot a least until Bailey gets back from suspension,the guy is a player.
Eternal RamnationParticipantSnisher have a vision , it just takes a while for everyone to see it myself included of course .ZN posted a similar view. It makes sense to me . I think coach looks farther ahead than fans usually do.
Eternal RamnationParticipantI mean, yeah. That’s what I said. Starters were sitting, new guys in, etc.
But there is a unit identity thing that can transcend individual players. A character of the whole.
And the thing is that the whole look of the way the unit played resembled that of recent years. Disappointingly so.
I was really hoping to see the look of a unit being re-defined by a transformative DC. I didn’t see that. I was disappointed.
You know, young kids can make mistakes. But, Lord, I’d like to see clear evidence of both talent and effective deployment. How about stuffs on HALF the runs? Just show you can choke off the running game HALF the time. These guys weren’t even close.
As I said. There’s time yet. But, what I saw from Williams’ bunch last night did NOT scream, “We are an emerging elite defense!” There’s some distance to go to get there. And the clock is ticking on the season …
I hear you RFL . I didn’t see what I wanted to see either but let’s take the 99 Tampa Bucs D and sit Sapp ,McFarland,Brooks,Lynch,Barber and Abrams in a preseason game and see how they do. I did see some guys making plays and guys learning from their mistakes.There was a rough patch there that looked like a bunch of kids that didn’t know who they were or what they were doing because that is pretty much what it was.Those guys , many of them are competing against each other for roster spots so the team concept is going to suffer until the cuts are made Also when Bradford,Long,Wells and Saffold play and crank up the running game I doubt this D is on the field as much as they were in the first preseason game.
