i think goff is tougher than some give him credit for.

i’m not as sure about his intelligence yet. i think this season will tell us a lot about that department. and if he’s dedicated to being his best.

and hopefully he can move up into that tier 2 category.

I suspect Brockers play to be stellar and well worth watching but you go ahead and snooze lots of Sunday night games this season.

brockers, suh, and donald. oh that should be something else.

hopefully, something very special.

and you gotta figure sonofbum will find a way for all three to be productive.

i’m so freaking excited.

less than a week until training camp.

this is what i love most about sports. we have no idea how things are going to turn out. how does the next step in jared’s career go? he improved a lot from the beginning of last season to the end it looks like – not just from stats but just from watching him play. does he regress in 2018? does he achieve even greater heights? his supporting cast is arguably better than last year. but do defenses adjust? have they found some holes in his game that they didn’t detect in 2017? have goff and the coaching staff already identified and corrected some of those holes?

can the offensive line hold up this year?

man i’m nervous.

mostly, i’m just hopeful that i can witness the beginning of what is a long and prosperous career for jared.

wha????

please let it be so…

i’ll be rooting for croatia. one of their players plays for my favorite soccer team.

NEVERMIND.

michael thomas… oops.

mmmm… they also lost olson…

it has me a little worried to be honest.

that’s a lot of qb coaching experiencing lost that goff has to deal with now.

Moving Havenstein to RG and putting Lucas or Noteboom at RT is a possibility too, although just replacing Brown with another guard would cause the least amount of disruption across the line.

didn’t they experiment with hav at rg last year?

i dunno what came of that. dunno if it was more that brown couldn’t play tackle or hav couldn’t play guard or both.

but i like the idea of noteboom at tackle. if he’s ready.

the others don’t excite me as much but what do i know.

PFW ranks Donald behind Watt (?)

ummm. i guess assuming watt is healthy…

but shoot. that’s a little disrespectful of donald and everything he’s accomplished.

i eagerly await training camp. i was a little alarmed by curley’s assessment of goff’s offseason. but i’m still positive. maybe he has a slight setback this year, but that’s actually a somewhat common thing for qbs. defenses get a full offseason to study a qb. learn his tendencies. then qbs have to adjust to the adjustment. but i think everyone would agree that he showed obvious talent. he just needs health and focus on his side.

I really liked what I saw of London Fletcher at middle linebacker in this game.

right now i’m wondering if ebukam can make a second year unknown player impact. or maybe littleton going into his third year.

rams are gonna need that.

No team has a better backfield passing game.

is that true?

i feel like atlanta figured out the rams backfield passing game and shut it down.

i’d like to see gurley become a more complete receiver like le’veon bell is. that’s the next step for him.

If the Rams can find a truly dominant edge guy — which they may have in Obo — there’s just No Exit for the other team.

i like ogbo. but i like ebukam too. he’s explosive. and he just might surprise this season. i’m hoping he can be that edge guy for the rams.

for me they’d have to be top 5 in yards and points.

and if everyone is healthy i think it’s totally within reach.

the reasons being i only see goff and kupp getting better. and cooks is totally an upgrade over watkins.

my only real worry is the tight end position.

i like the decision.

as much as i like ogletree, he probably wasn’t the best fit.

i do still wonder if littleton would be better off playing barron’s role with kiser grabbing the middle linebacker spot. at least on the first two downs.
