brett hundley blew this combine out of the water. i really really really want him on the rams.

by the way. not that it matters but hundley ran a sub 4.00 ss. wow.

also did well in the throwing drills.

for what it’s worth.

carden measured in at 6’2″ 218 33 1/4 9 3/4. not bad at all. the quarterbacks are throwing right now.

hey! happy birthday!

i like cameron erving too. maybe the one guy who can play all five ol positions. that’s big. need guys like him and saffold.

i for one would like the rams to take a real long hard look at hundley. he’s the only qb in this draft who seems to have real potential and who would actually be available to the rams.

he’s raw for sure. but i’ve heard good things about him from those who’ve seen him play.

Interesting. I wonder if this is a “way of getting Tavon more involved”

I listened to the press conference. They stressed that basically they wanted to get Tavon involved. They want to be sure they can execute the basics right. I think Bradford wanted Cignette. I don’t think they will trade up or reach for a QB in the draft. If a QB drops to them in the first round, who knows? I don’t think that will happen.

ok. maybe i’m wrong. still if it gets tavon more involved, i’m all for it. if he had problems digesting the playbook, then i’m a little disappointed that schotty didn’t do more to correct this.

is it me or was that interview useless?

just a bunch of non-answers. although i guess i shouldn’t have expected anything concrete. doesn’t matter as long as there are real results on the field.

he makes plays in special teams and in the running game, but the main reason the rams got him was as a receiver.

and he’s been thoroughly unimpressive there. i still hold out hope that he can get better. brian quick made huge leap in his third year. i’m hoping tavon can do the same. part of it is just him improving as a receiver, but i’m also hoping that cignetti can figure out some other ways to get him the ball as a receiver.

and as others have pointed out, hopefully better quarterback play and an improved offensive line can also help him.

hopefully all three come together next year and tavon can have a breakout season.

also. in no way does the nfl want a team in los angeles with davis running things. if that trade happened, rams would be staying in st. louis and kroenke would be moving the raiders to los angeles. i’m not sure why he would want to do that unless the nfl made it a condition for moving a team to los angeles. i guess it’s possible.

General agreement on the thread. I think the OL personnel and the QB issue will determine what we can do.

My point about Tavon.

As I have said before, Tavon needs to play underneath a downfield passing attack that drives the DBs off the ball.

The absence of that condition has not, in my mind, been primarily a matter of the OC. It has been the absence of WRs until last year, at which point we lost our QB.

A healthy, starting-quality QB plus a solid OL will ALLOW an OC to use Tavon successfully. I don’t think it has previously been a genuine option.

‘Course, I do think Schotty used too many jet-style gimmicks with Tavon. But, again, at least some of that was because he had a lousy QB and OL.

yes. oline and qb. i don’t care who is the coordinator. if they can’t sort those two situations out, the offense is in trouble.

it’ll be interesting to see what happens to the city of inglewood.

the whole area is changing there. not just inglewood but leimert park and baldwin hills to the north.

who knows. cignetti could surprise us. and i still like the fact that the coordinator and players will have real familiarity with each other. that can’t be discounted working with these guys every day. knowing their strengths and weaknesses. and maybe he even brings a fresh perspective that schotty was missing.

who knows. but i’m actually happy about this announcement.
