InvaderRamModeratorand that doesn’t include aaron donald.
InvaderRamModeratorI don’t pay a penny toward the Rams wealth.
i do have a subscription to NFL+. i did buy season tickets to their first season back in la. i have gone to see one game at sofi. beyond that i don’t buy any merchandise.
it is still conflicting for me. i appreciate that the rams are getting a nice practice facility. it probably does help day to day operations as well as team building. i’ll probably even visit the place once it’s built.
InvaderRamModeratorIt would be nice if my brain could dis-associate the team i follow,
from the billionaires, and capitalist crimes of the corporate world.w
vCowboys owner Jerry Jones said having a signature practice facility, one fans can visit and tour, is a force multiplier when it comes to marketing a franchise.
“It’s like the Sistine Chapel being something that all Catholics think about all over the world,” Jones said. “Many of our fans that know about the Star have never actually been there, but they’re aware of it through just following the Cowboys and our games. It gives you another way to tangibly have another church house to preach in.”
i was conflicted about posting this. but hey. i’m in too deep as it is. several more feet won’t matter much.
InvaderRamModeratori really like this guy. schwesinger. i’d be cool with the rams trading down and picking this guy. he’d complete the front seven. didn’t run the 40 but his short shuttle was in the 4.2’s. his 3 cone was about 7.00. 10’7″ broad to go with a 39″ vert at the combine. explosive athlete. looked great in drills according to observers. can defend the run and pass.
InvaderRamModeratorI think it means that in a deep draft full of good but more or less equally graded players, your better bet is to get more of them.
i was joking. as in does that really mean the rams try to trade up? i do think they trade down, but i could also see the rams trade up to get the impact player in the top 15. i don’t think they will. but just when i think i got them figured out, they do something different.

InvaderRamModeratorLes Snead was on the @heykayadams show yesterday and hinted at trading back into the pick 33-36 range (early round 2). Seems like the most likely outcome.
but what does that mean?
InvaderRamModeratorThis means Rams have about $18 mil in cap space and it will not go up June 1st…
how much of that goes to rookies?
InvaderRamModeratorWe’ve probably had this conversation, but McVay is my #1 all-time head coach.
Vermeil #2, although his short tenure could drop him in some people’s books, I think.
Knox I and Robinson, tied for 3rd.
George Allen may get Honorable Mention, but I was just a damn kid back then.he’s my number one too. of rams coaches. but i wanna see him on the level of an andy reid. i wanna see this organization draft and develop a qb. hopefully two.
jared goff in some respects was a failure on mcvay’s part. but he was young. inexperienced. it wasn’t a good fit. but an older mcvay? can he demonstrate that part? it’ll take a little bit of luck too. for sure.

This draft is loaded with players from No. 19-70 who will be good players. It only has a few sure-fire stars. Trading down makes sense.more and more i’m wanting this. and i’d like to see them draft a linebacker like schwesinger. get him in the second round and then draft defensive backs. at some point draft a tight end and another receiver. draft another running back.
it’s either that or trade up into the first half of the first round and draft an impact player.
InvaderRamModeratorCornell@gqscholar
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: 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: 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: 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.
