Rams tried Durant at Star position when Ramsey was traded, it didn’t work. The type of corner needed for that role was drafted last year by the eagles, Cooper Dejean. Durant doesn’t fit that mold. Hopefully, the Rams can find a Cooper Dejean type in this upcoming draft.i liked cooper dejean last year. and the other corner from toledo who the eagles picked. i don’t know that i like anyone that much outside of hunter and maybe johnson.
but if snead goes corner in the first round i trust that it’s the right decision. and hopefully they win defensive rookie of the year. shoot. i hope they win defensive player of the year.
InvaderRamModeratorjust imagining nacua, adams, and loveland lined up with williams in the backfield.
InvaderRamModeratorThe Rams addressed all of those positions, except TE, and so they don’t have to reach out of need.
i really wanna see loveland on this team. i realize focusing on one position or player might not be the wisest move. they should go for bpa. but he just would seem to fit this offense so well. a wr/te with size and speed. but it also depends on who else is available at that spot. or if he is even available at that spot.
would the rams try to move up to get him like they tried to with bowers?
i like warren too, and he’d bring a different skill set than loveland, but he’s probably out of reach.
InvaderRamModeratorI never thought I’d see an adorable football player. But…
he is legend.

oh hell yeah!
corner could still be in play with the first pick, but now their options are just so wide open.
March 17, 2025 at 8:57 pm in reply to: mid-March, 1st FA wave over, assessments + 2nd wave of signings & extensions #155577InvaderRamModeratorbut i also see corner as a position they could easily add through fa. not sure about the other positions.
March 17, 2025 at 8:56 pm in reply to: why Davonte Adams is good…update, must read: Matt Bowen on Adams #155576InvaderRamModeratoryeah. they’re the same age but injuries have clearly got the best of kupp. i love kupp, and it was a bummer to see, but this one you could see a mile away.
March 17, 2025 at 8:54 pm in reply to: mid-March, 1st FA wave over, assessments + 2nd wave of signings & extensions #155575InvaderRamModeratorok i like that barron kid too.
March 17, 2025 at 8:41 pm in reply to: mid-March, 1st FA wave over, assessments + 2nd wave of signings & extensions #155573InvaderRamModeratorPro Football Focus’ Max Chadwick believes the Rams’ biggest issue remains at cornerback because of the team’s current depth chart of Darious Williams, Cobie Durant and Emmanuel Forbes Jr.
i’m just not sure i like a CB at 26. unless they trade up. or trade down. or someone falls. but i definitely don’t want them to reach. i’d prefer they trade up. i don’t want just a solid corner. i want a superstar if they draft one. but i’m not sure i see one. travis hunter probably but they’d have to give up a lot to get him. otherwise i prefer a fa signing.
but what do i know?
InvaderRamModeratorThere’s elements missing. So I don’t think they qualify.
can’t remember if there was a single defining run in that game, but faulk against philadelphia was something to behold. and instrumental in getting the rams to the superbowl. woulda meant more if the rams won the entire thing, but that was a great performance.
InvaderRamModeratori got the sense this was gonna happen about midway through the season. it just looked like the todd gurley situation all over again.
the kupp nacua duo didn’t even get off the ground. it sucked. would have been good to see, and i think they coulda made it work.
it’ll be interesting to see what the rams do in the draft. do they try to complement nacua and adams with a third receiver and try to recreate the woods, kupp, obj trio? that’d be wild.
i think kupp is cooked. or at least the rams think he is.
InvaderRamModeratori want them to draft tyler warren. how scary would that be?
March 11, 2025 at 6:59 pm in reply to: why Davonte Adams is good…update, must read: Matt Bowen on Adams #155436InvaderRamModeratorand i’m only putting this out so the universe can prove me wrong.
March 11, 2025 at 6:58 pm in reply to: why Davonte Adams is good…update, must read: Matt Bowen on Adams #155435InvaderRamModeratorRemember he’s brought in to be a #2.
yeah. but the fall off is dramatic. like ugly dramatic.
March 10, 2025 at 6:37 pm in reply to: why Davonte Adams is good…update, must read: Matt Bowen on Adams #155410InvaderRamModeratori’m a little worried. just looking for examples of wrs who remained productive beyond age 32. it’s slim. there’s rice. marvin harrison. muhsin muhammad. and not much else.
InvaderRamModeratorhe’s actually older than kupp.
but he’s also been much healthier and more productive.
i’m also reading good things about his work ethic. so hopefully he’s got two more productive years in him. it wouldn’t be unprecedented. but at the same time, there’s lots of productive receivers who fell off in their thirties.
InvaderRamModeratorthe receiving performances of receivers older than 32 is a little shaky. i’m assuming the rams did their due diligence on adams.
hopefully he takes care of his body.
InvaderRamModeratorI hope that this works out better than the Allen Robinson signing.
It will be interesting to see how this impacts the Rams approach to the draft. I feel like this increases the likelihood that the Rams draft a corner with their first pick. Who knows though, it’s tough to predict who is going to be available so late in the first round. Maybe a good TE is still there. I kind of hope that some team is eager to move up from the second round and call the Rams. It would be nice to pick up some more picks.
he has five consecutive seasons with 1000 yards or more. not many games missed. but older than robinson was when he was signed. i think it’s a good signing.
if they want one of the top tight ends, they’re gonna have to trade up.
InvaderRamModeratormy personal preference is for a tight end. mcvay has talked about getting more versatile. i trust that they’ll make the right choice. if the rams don’t bring bb iii back, i’d even be fine if they drafted a defensive tackle.
InvaderRamModeratorat this point i’d say rams should stay in the first round and pick best available tight end or cornerback. if one isn’t available at that point then trade back.

January 26, 2025 at 7:47 pm in reply to: set up for NFC/AFC championship games & game reactions #154964InvaderRamModeratorI guess if you tell me I have to pick a team to win it all, I will go with the Chiefs. Just because that will get people saying that Brady never won 3 in a row.
this.
InvaderRamModeratora flawed team for sure. and i love williams, but his ball security issues drive me crazy. still had a chance at the end though. was there a roughing the passer penalty at the end there? that would have been tough to call there. puka hung in tough and the conditions were bad. coop played like a tough vet. defense was awesome. lots to build on. limmer seemingly whiffed in that block that led to the stafford sack at the end.
they need a corner, an offensive tackle, and another receiver. another defensive lineman.
InvaderRamModeratorbest draft class by the rams since i’ve been following them. which is going on thirty years.

InvaderRamModeratorcalabasas has been evacuated. a lot of rams players live near there.
InvaderRamModeratorBlaine Grisak @bgrisaktst.bsky.social
Rams rookie Jared Verse finished the season with a True Pressure Rate of 52.5. Only Chris Jones and Myles Garrett were higher. His 6.4 snaps per pressure led the NFL.Verse had 34 high quality pressures which also trailed just Garrett and Jones. His 13.2 snaps per high quality pressure ranked 7th.
he just needs to start converting more of those pressures into sacks.
InvaderRamModeratorAccording to Pro Football Focus, the Rams’ schedule was the hardest of any playoff team based on the chart below. It shows that the offensive and defensive strength of their opponents was the highest of every team that made the postseason.
oh. you already posted it. haha! that gives me at least some encouragement.
InvaderRamModeratorhere’s the tweet.

InvaderRamModeratori didn’t know where to post this and not sure how accurate it is, but the rams supposedly faced the strongest combination of offensive and defensive units of any team in the playoffs.
Is this chart accurate? Saw it on X, in a non-Rams post.
