    i saw that. i was thinking to myself double his catches? that’d be 104 receptions on the season. and around 940 yards. shoot i’d settle for 70-80 catches. and some more downfield passes.

    and some of these are interconnected as well. for instance. if 1, 2, 5, 6, and 8 happen, then 11 will most certainly happen – or actually it might even surpass 11. if even 3 of those 5 happen, 11 will probably happen.

    of course 5 and 6 could facilitate 1, 2, or 8 happening.

    and notice how 5+6=11
    and 1+2+8 also = 11….

    it’s crazy, man.

    hehehehe…

    if he can break out as a wide receiver, that’d be humongous.

    ——————
    Best case Scenario, is that Goff turns out to be the real-deal,
    and brings his accuracy and deep-ball-touch to the Pros,
    and then ALL the Ram WR’s “break out”.

    We’ll see.

    I think Stedman would have been helped by a guy like Goff
    the most, btw. Cause Stedman has great hands and fights
    for the ball and runs decent routes. I just think he would
    have really benefited from a super-accurate QB that threatens
    the whole field.

    stedman. is there any news on him? i’m rooting for him to come back.

    i often dream of a seattle-type scenario where goff is surrounded by a strong running game and a cohesive offensive line. and then he just throws these accurate darts around the field to all the different receivers.

    Any idea how many of his big plays were called back for holding, or stupid bonehead plays on special teams? Just curious.

    —————-
    Some computer genius like X
    should do a vid on the big plays Tavon has had called back.

    He aint ever gonna be Jerry Rice as a WR, but i do
    think he’s more than a ‘gadget’ player. I think this is
    the year we find out how good a WR he can be. He doesn’t have
    to learn a new system, so he should be able to concentrate
    on route-running, and holding onto the ball.

    if he can break out as a wide receiver, that’d be humongous.

    i have my doubts though. for one thing he averages under 10 yards per reception. just makes me wonder if he can ever run wide receiver routes. i mean he has. i just wonder if he can do it consistently enough. even the late bloomers were at least able to average over 10 yards per reception.

    and i’m not entirely sure it’s due to different offensive systems or multiple below average qbs.

    either way i like him a lot. it’s fun watching him play.

    i think it’ll be randolph too. not much to base it on. just a few youtube clips and reading about his background. looks athletic. he’s strong. seems to be a smart guy. just really bad circumstances. tennessee program was in shambles and some injury problems which he seems to have gotten over.

    tavon is what he is. a multipurpose weapon. a better version of danny woodhead or darren sproles.

    which isn’t bad. i think he could even get 1000+ yards from scrimmage this year and double digit tds this year (he had 9 tds last year).

    but i think it’s gonna have to be one of higbee, cooper, or thomas to break out as a receiver. or maybe even britt.

    diggs was drafted in the fifth round last year. cooper in the fourth this year.

    diggs apparently can play in the slot or out wide. i think cooper is more a slot receiver but can run out of the backfield some.

    diggs had 720 yards in just 13 games last year. wasn’t even on the active roster the first three weeks. cooper should have plenty of opportunities to get playing time. i only see tavon and britt as being sure things on the receiving corps. just hope he can take advantage.

    Reynolds is a FA next year and Saffold has a cap hit of 6M+ next year, so maybe they are here or maybe not? They can keep the same group together, if they want. This group can be as large as the same 10 offensive linemen they had last year and they can keep all 10 for this year and the next 2 years.

    that’s comforting to know.

    doesn’t necessarily have to be the exact same line. but i would think as little change as possible would be better.

    and also at this point i would put development ahead of just putting the best oline out there. unless of course reynolds and saffold are so much better than brown and wichmann that it doesn’t make any sense to just throw them out there.

    and because of the contract situations i think i’d rather go brown and wichmann. even if they are just a little behind reynolds in individual ability. reynolds is a free agent next season. saffold can’t stay healthy. brown and wichmann are under contract through 2018.

    you know. it really doesn’t matter to me who is at guard. whether it be reynolds and saffold or reynolds and brown or however many iterations the rams need to find their two starting guards. i just want those 5 on the field playing together for the majority of the season. getting that chemistry working is more important than any one individual breaking out.

    more than any one lineman breaking out. they just gotta keep playing together as a unit.

    in 2015. greg robinson’s first year as a full time starting left tackle. tim barnes’ first year as a full time starting center. havenstein’s first year as a full time starting right tackle. so it was good to have at least those three playing together for the entire season.

    but guard was just a mess. i’m hoping wichmann can springboard off the end of the season and just grab one of the guard spots. and hopefully brown can grab the other spot and just let them play together as a unit.

    also. is this the year quinn and donald dominate as a duo?

    . One thing you can look at with Fisher is his record with backup QBs. I believe the league winning percentage is about .250. The Rams are 13-17 (.433) under him when starting backup QBs. Just as one example Jason Garrett is 1-13 (.072) when Romo doesn’t start.

    it is interesting.

    i mean how good would belichick be without brady? and let’s face it. they lucked out and picked him in the sixth. they had no idea how good he would be. he did do well with cassel as his qb that one year.

    conversely. how good would fisher look if the rams absolutely nail it with the goff pick? fisher and mcnair were a pretty formidable duo.

    mind you. i’m not trying to say fisher is as good as belichick. just that belichick has had the fortune of coaching a hall of fame qb for the bulk of his career.

    well let’s hope cooper can have a rookie season like diggs did last year. diggs had a score of 89.5% just like cooper. fwiw.

    gaines is the reason i wasn’t too upset that jenkins left. i’m more worried about fs and mlb actually. although with the secondary i’ll never be too worried as long as fisher and williams are here. they always seem to be able to develop players there. in fact, if they can find a replacement for mcleod, i think they’ll actually be better there than they were last year.

    and of course if ogletree can handle the middle and robert quinn can finally come back healthy, the defense as a whole should be better. although that’s three big questions i just posed.

    and not just your own timing. the way i understood it is knowing at each step where your receivers are supposed to be. being in sync with the entire offense. and then when you get to the proper depth you have to be decisive and get that ball out or the timing is all screwed up.

    at least that’s the way i understand it.

    i just find it annoying although i knew all this before the rams moved.

    i’m gonna try and make it to a game when it’s in the coliseum but no way i go to games in the new stadium. not even sure i’ll be able to afford it.

    That’s because Rams’ owner Stan Kroenke’s $2.6 billion stadium and development project will become the most lavish stadium project in North American sports the day it opens.

    mmm…. is it too late for the rams to move back to st. louis???

    i think i’m not as concerned about the oline as i used to be although i still think there needs to be improvement.

    the good news is there is lots of potential on that line. and i agree. run blocking needs to be more consistent.

    all joking aside. looking at clips of goff in the rams rookie orientation, and he definitely looks bigger than the college clips i’ve seen of him. and it’s only been 5 months since he got out of college.

    and like mentioned above we have to remember he’s only 21 years old and will turn 22 in october. his body isn’t fully developed yet. by comparison bradford was already 22 when he was drafted and turned 23 during his rookie season. just that one year can make a big difference.

    i don’t know about 240 pounds. it’s awful hard to maintain that weight during an nfl regular season. but i fully expect him to enter his rookie season at about 225 pounds. and i think he’ll eventually settle into around a 225-230 pound playing weight when he is fully mature.

    but again. as i keep saying. i think more than the durability issues people had with his slight build the biggest difference we’ll see is his arm strength. his arm strength was already graded out as above average. i think eventually he’ll have above average to just under elite arm strength when it’s all said and done.

    the only thing about stuck out about forrest was that people said he played better than he tested.

    also used to play basketball i think.

    but to be honest i’ve barely seen goff play much less forrest.

    that new stadium is gonna price out a lot of fans.
