They also didn’t change the offense, just the line up. That is, they ran their traditional “11” ie 3 wr offense, which means there weren’t huge adjustments for the offense (especially the OL).

i wonder how that changes moving forward. we know that they’re trying to expand the 13 personnel offense this offseason. so what kind of wrinkles do they add on top of just running the same 3 wr offense? or maybe i’m just assuming that?

I know Davante is a professional, and i dont doubt he ‘took it well’ — but how do you take McVay’s words seriously after that? Would you go to war for a coach that did that?

more than anything i figure they want a ring. and they recognize mcvay’s and snead’s team building acumen. and they recognize mcvay’s abilities to almost always come up with good game plans to put them in a position to put up numbers. the rest is probably just noise to them and selling the league.

they got rid of gurley, goff, ramsey, kupp, woods. although woods did come back as a coach. so i don’t think they entirely believe mcvay is full of it. i think they see eye to eye in terms of being alpha dog competitors. with some of them there’s a level of respect that comes with that. just being that level of competitor is something maybe we don’t understand?

kinda like klingons???? hahahaha!

So, has any reporter asked Davante how he feels about the fact the Rams would have traded him for AJ Brown if they could have worked out a trade with a third team for Davante?

He was reportedly quite professional about it.

as long as he’s been in this league, i’m sure he understands the business. just looking at the rams the past ten years you figure someone was leaving. didn’t figure it to be jared. again.

i want to see myles and davante get one this year. that’ll be fun to see. grown men crying.

The “more” I talked about:

so i take it as the “more” you’re talking about is the drafting simpson decision being tied to their decision to trade for garrett?

it got me thinking…. could that be why mcvay seemed to be upset at the press conference right after the simpson selection?

maybe it was then that he had to make the decision of including verse in the trade. it could not have been an easy decision. so he goes into that press conference knowing that verse was gone. the reality of it is sinking in. he’s not happy about it. he’s letting go of someone he has respect for. at the same time people have all these questions about why they drafted a qb at that spot. he can’t be completely forthcoming about the decision. he also knows that at some point he’s got to talk to jared about it but can’t do it at that point. he also doesn’t want the same situation unfolding like it did with goff.

it would explain why he seemed so cagey at the time. so defensive.

plus it’s been two whole years and aaron is a competitor. maybe he’s getting tired of just competing against himself.

Fun nugget on Myles Garrett's first day in LA–
After the flight, after the press conference, after meeting everyone–it was time to wrap up a wild day.
As they're packing up, Garrett pulls aside a Rams official…and asks if he could go to the gym and do a full workout…(1/2) pic.twitter.com/0Jz3pCNd8Y

Everyone laughed.

He wasn't kidding.

They told him to come in tomorrow.

He nodded. And that was that.

After the wildest 24 hours of his career, a cross country flight, a media blitz, and meeting an entire new organization… he wanted to do squats.

i’d want to at least give him some time to get in football shape. weddle was cutting it a little close. rather he come in at second half of the season. but i also wonder if donald would want to do that especially if it meant cutting a player for him to just play half a season. i think i remember him not being keen on that idea.

Orlavsky on the Aaron Donald rumor : “…after hearing that with Pat, my gut tells me this is more than likely going to happen’

it’d be hard to come back after 2 full seasons off. jordan did it after 1 1/2 seasons off and it still took him most of that season to get into game shape.

it’d be interesting as hell though to watch it all unfold.

Naturally I expect Turner, Fiske, Ford, and Young to all benefit from Garrett’s presence. In fact, it makes me wonder how much better the Rams would have been in Donald’s years if the Rams surrounded him with as much DL talent as Garrett has around him.

i think donald did have talent around him at times. but it never really clicked. or the offense just wasn’t good enough until the end of his career.

i do remember young and his lingering knee issues last year. injuries are my biggest worry this coming year. that and special teams.

rams still need to improve special teams. they need a returner. they seemingly have their kicker and punter, but the coverage teams have to improve.

so a return specialist and improved coverage teams should be next on their list. that really gave seattle an edge over the rams.

aaron donald vibes.

So….which is the better pair:

Jalen Ramsey / Von Miller OR Trent McDuffie / Myles Garrett ?

well. i mean i think it’s mcduffie/garrett no contest. but ramsey/miller had donald.

so maybe the better question is do you take donald/ramsey/miller or garrett/mcduffie/watson?

i think that miller was not prime miller but i’m not sure how good prime watson is.

i love donald – one of my favorite players of all time – and they won a superbowl, so i think i go with donald/ramsey/miller.
