InvaderRamModeratorTotennham breaks up their pitch into 3 pieces and moves it below the car park. They have a turf field below the moving pitch for american football and other events.
yeah. tottenham has a system too. both i think would work in sofi. arizona cardinals’ system wouldn’t.
one problem. i think it cost real madrid one billion dollars to install their system. not sure about tottenham.
InvaderRamModeratorSo the grass would have to be interchangeable with other “flooring,” and where are you going to put a football field when it’s not in the stadium?
real madrid actually have a solution for that. a retractable grass field at the santiago bernabeu. ridiculous and insane. but cool to watch.
InvaderRamModerator“The grass is already being grown,” says COO Kevin Demoff of the natural grass playing fields the Rams will install at the new/temporary facilities. Hope is to get transitioned by offseason programming but team won’t hold training camp here in the short term.
would it be that much harder or more expensive to just have grass fields in sofi stadium?
InvaderRamModeratori wanna see the young players continue to develop and shine. that will give me good feelings.
nacua, young, turner, avila, the second and third year players.
doesn’t have to necessarily translate into wins. but if they can produce and keep this team competitive, i’ll be happy.
InvaderRamModeratori could easily see him play out the remainder of his contract which would see him play through 2026 – his age 38 season.
InvaderRamModeratorhe’s gotta be better than rypien. but now worried about how long stafford will be out.
InvaderRamModeratorInvaderRamModeratoryeah. i have doubts about whether the niners can afford young beyond this season.
i think the rams are in good shape. now is not the time to be making a trade like that.
InvaderRamModerator9ers all-in like the Rams were two years ago, although they gave up a lot less for Young than the Rams did for Miller. A lot less.
he’s younger than miller was when the rams traded for him, but his career has not been nearly as impressive. at least not yet. he is supposedly having the best year of his career to date.
InvaderRamModeratorit started out well enough. the defense was putting heavy pressure on prescott. and then the ticky tack illegal contact foul which extended the drive. and then it all fell apart from there. mistakes and another questionable non-call.
just very depressing. but probably most depressing was the stafford injury.
i don’t know what else to say at this point. don’t want to make any sweeping statements about the future of this team. there’s plenty left of the season to play out. i’m gonna try to reserve any such statements until the season is over.
InvaderRamModeratordisappointed. but yeah. lots of positives. kind of disappointing to have to say that. two missed field goals. unforced errors. and some really bad calls at the end that went against the rams.
but the offense isn’t clicking quite the way i expect it to. it’s not the running game. i think the oline did well today. it’s the passing game. kupp had his worst game in a long time. there was at least one miscommunication between him and stafford that resulted in an intentional grounding call. kupp is still working his way back.
yeah. i’m just hoping the team can keep improving as the season goes on.
InvaderRamModeratorThis topic is just going to have lots of different takes from different posters. In my view
for sure. it’s just interesting to think about. there are pros and cons to each – keeping goff or trading for stafford. no wrong answer i don’t think.
InvaderRamModeratorputting the superbowl aside. i wonder how the rams with goff and all those first round picks would be doing right now.
i still like stafford a lot. but i like goff too. maybe it was just mcvay and goff not being compatible. or maybe mcvay and snead we’re just a little too impulsive. maybe an older mcvay and snead don’t make that trade. but they were also desperate to win the big one.
InvaderRamModeratorI guess we iz gonna see Zach Evans, then? 5’11’, 202 Lbs. 4.51 forty yard dash. (is that fast? seems kinda average aint it?)
nothing stands out too much there. but his agility numbers are very good.
shorts shuttle – 4.25. 3-cone – 6.89.
and then it’ll come down to instincts. it should be pretty apparent pretty quickly if he can cut it at this level.
October 19, 2023 at 8:42 pm in reply to: Rams on the radar this year who weren’t before the season #146297InvaderRamModeratori had written atwell off. and he has totally caught me off guard. happy for him. a lot of people i think criticized that pick.
InvaderRamModeratorSo look for the Rams to throw it a lot.
seriously. i’ll be so annoyed if that happens. not just because it would play into the steelers’ strength. but if they do give evans a significant amount of playing time his biggest question mark is supposed to be his pass blocking. let evans run the ball.
InvaderRamModeratori like young at the edge. not trying to diminish what he’s done so far and look for him to continue to improve, but i would still like to see another edge opposite him next season.
i also like evans’ profile on paper but want to see him do it on the field. athletically he’s the best rb the rams have.
and a dominant end to help donald out would be cool. maybe with the rams first pick in 24?
also this may be the season the rams finally lose morris to a hc job. that would be a shame but also would be happy for him.
InvaderRamModeratorSteve Avila likes to play football. This is a guy who likes nothing better in life than to pancake some guy’s ass.
seriously haven’t been this excited about a rams offensive lineman since greg robinson… hopefully he turns out better than robinson did.
InvaderRamModeratorStafford and Donald are not getting any younger. I dont know how long the Rams window will be open after next year. Might be another ‘All In’ year. I dunno.
i worry less about stafford, but i think donald has about two years left past this season. there’s not many defensive linemen if any who can produce at a high level past 34 years old. 2025 will be his age 34 season.
InvaderRamModeratorwell that blows.
InvaderRamModeratoryeah. i don’t know much about ekeler. haven’t seen him too much. but if kyren williams can replicate him in terms of production. around 12oo-1300 yards from scrimmage. and then you get a second running back who can give him sufficient rest without too much loss in production. that would be ideal for me.
InvaderRamModeratorEither the Cardinals have a major run-defense problem, or the Rams are developing a physical running-game. Interesting ‘way’ to win a Ram/Cardinal game. What if teams in the future have to worry about a Rams…running game? Important division win. w v
i still would plan on strengthening the oline and finding another running back if i were the rams. they don’t need to spend major capital on that second rb. whether that is evans or some lower round draft pick i don’t know. i don’t know that williams can hold up over the course of an entire season by himself. but williams in tandem with another reliable solid running back would be super fun to watch. especially with kupp, nacua, atwell, and higbee catching passes.
at oline i would spend major draft capital on finding a left tackle. if they can find a left tackle and a second running back to pair with williams, i think the rams could have that dominant running game.
InvaderRamModeratorIf you get a chance, there is going to be some major talent at Edge, in free agency.
yeah if they can get one through free agency. that might actually be ideal since they might be more ready than say a rookie.
InvaderRamModeratorsorry i was wrong that was young’s third sack? anyway. if they can pair him with another edge rusher, that could be fun to watch.
InvaderRamModeratoryeah, kyren williams. what a player. so tough. and cooper kupp too. puka had one bad drop in the endzone. but he usually catches those.
and byron young! first sack. and a forced fumble on the play too! just need to partner him up with someone on the other side. and witherspoon again has a great game.
and congrats to mcvay for adjusting in the second half.
one of the worst halves they’ve had this season followed by the one of the best.
InvaderRamModeratori often forget about the brandin cooks era of rams football.
InvaderRamModeratorplus he’s young and still raw. i think with kupp he came in already pretty polished. sure there was still a learning curve but he had a pretty high floor.
i think nacua has a lot of potential still to tap into.
InvaderRamModeratorPlus, this is the kind of game Jeff Fisher would lose. …I dont know what that means, either, but it needed to be said.
you mean it’s a trap game? a game the rams could easily take for granted and underachieve? yeah i could see that and it would be a huge setback.
InvaderRamModeratori like goff. i’m glad he’s doing well. i’ll always root for him.
i don’t know that he does what stafford did on that super bowl run. three game winning drives in the playoffs. one of the most clutch performances ever? and it wasn’t a fluke with stafford. does goff do that? i don’t know.
at the time though i would have preferred goff stay. but i also preferred gurley to stay healthy and be able to play out his career with the rams.
InvaderRamModeratorwhile i wasn’t surprised by the eagles loss, i’d be very surprised if they lost this game. at home. i’d consider it a disaster.
