one reason i would support lemon as a draft pick which i didn’t think of before. he could double as a return specialist.

but i still like lane. in the later rounds. looks like a mcmillan type out there who the rams were interested in. both did not have elite speed.

i think a guy like lane would be intriguing. he’d be a second day pick. he’s stood out in the senior bowl so far.

The Raiders plan to interview Seattle OC Klint Kubiak over the weekend and then make a decision on their head coach, per sources.

As one candidate predicted, “it’s probably (Kubiak’s) job to lose.”

well. that would be totally awesome. just awesome.

i really hope he stays. but maybe he feels good with where he’s at now. maybe if he wins mvp, he’ll feel he has nothing left to prove.

i hope that isn’t the case. that he still feels the desire to win another superbowl. a chance to play for another one on his home field. the chance to play with puka and adams one more time.

it’s hard for most athletes to walk away at their prime. but donald did it. doesn’t look like he even remotely regrets that decision.

rams weren’t afraid to trade goff. cut gurley. trade kupp.

rams and mcvay need to be just as ruthless with this coaching staff. if it is warranted.

I’d be curious how they view their ‘super bowl window’. Maybe they think Stafford will only play one more year. Or maybe two if he stays healthy next year. If thats how they look at it, they may lean more into ‘going all in’ for the short term. I have a feeling they will really push-the-cap this year. I think they will do more than just sign their core young guys.

if they really are going all in, they don’t need to keep throwing valuable resources toward offense. the offense was just fine this year and will be next year. they need to start investing real capital into the defense if they see a one or two year window.

dare i say the rams defense made sam darnold look like matt stafford.

the rams may have been good on explosive plays. but they were 1-8 on third down efficiency. so if i had one criticism, they were not good at sustaining drives. a critical one being before the end of the first half in which the seahawks got the ball back after the rams after went three and out and ended up scoring a touchdown. a potential 14 point swing after which seattle had the ball to start the second half. they went three and out on that drive but then there was the muffed punt. that whole sequence was not good.

Matthew Stafford says he told Xavier Smith he loved him after Smith's costly muffed punt. Stafford also took issue with a reporter saying the game came down to that one play. Stafford says the Rams had other opportunities they didn't capitalize on. https://t.co/32WJpYrj12

i do wonder if kupp in any way had some role in unlocking jsn.

maybe not the coaches and front office but the players really do remain family.

i’m happy if shula is back. i don’t blame him. i think the secondary was overmatched. they need real talent back there.

i was hoping one of scheelhaase or lafleur would be back. losing both would suck, but i’m sure they have a plan.

We look to the draft

it’s time they start investing heavily in defense. and by proxy special teams. defensive backs. a return specialist. maybe even make a splash in free agency. if possible.

please. just three more years. at least.

And as I said earlier, I think that throw went to Caleb’s head, and he thought he was magic at that point, and that hubris made him throw a pass where only Curl could catch it.

i hope for the same with darnold. and writing this just realized that williams and darnold are both from usc. don’t know why i didn’t realize that before.

Yeah, Ernest and Cooper Kupp both seem pretty hurt/bitter about the trades.

The downside to buying into the whole ‘family’ thing etc, and so forth. Coach may call you ‘family’ and treat you that way — but at the end of the year, you are still a piece of meat in the NFL. In a way.

if i was a head coach, i don’t know how i could deal with that side of the business. i’ve never had to do anything like that in my life, and it would wreck me if i did.
