InvaderRamModerator
man. quick dominating and taking all the reps with the first team??? wow. this is beginning to sound like a lot more than just hype. i had completely given up on the guy…
InvaderRamModeratoryeah. it just sounds too good to be true. can’t wait for the preseason games to start!
InvaderRamModeratoryeah it would be huge. and if one or two other receivers can step up besides quick, this offense suddenly becomes real dangerous given the potential of the running game.
InvaderRamModeratori’m interested to see how they use austin this season. i really think a lot of things are coming together at the right time. we saw what glimpses of the explosiveness that austin brings to a team last year. i think it will be on full display this season. something the offense sorely lacked in the past.
InvaderRamModeratormost won’t agree. but i think this offense is going to be really fun to watch this season. very physical. with some big plays in between. there’s just a really good mix of talent on offense. of course i say that every year.
InvaderRamModeratorwhat i would like to see is him have 4 strong preseason games. maybe 20 receptions in total. he should be getting a lot of reps in the preseason if he really is making the progress in training camp. and then if stedman bailey and/or tavon can make an impact too. well. the rams might have something serious going on.
July 29, 2014 at 10:48 pm in reply to: Remember Rams C Barrett Jones? He's bigger, stronger and ready to compete/Balzer #2839InvaderRamModeratorcamp reports have not sounded good on this guy. i’m surprised. i was convinced he’d be able to make it. early times though.
InvaderRamModeratori think the offensive line and the running backs are what i’ll be paying attention to most this preseason.
InvaderRamModeratorthanks for the report. that was great. reading good things about the receivers and defensive backs. quick in particular. although i’d like to see them do it against other teams.
don’t like what i read about jones. i’m also wondering how long it takes robinson exactly to get acclimated to the nfl. sounds like he is having some struggles there early.
shoot. could britt be having a positive influence on this young wr corps????
InvaderRamModeratori think the pass rush will be that good this year. what’s your opinion, la? among defensive lines. where would you rank this line? top 10? top 5?
InvaderRamModeratori especially like the comments on ogletree and mcdonald. williams, as we all know, is a perfectionist. he’s hard on his players. so for him to have positive thoughts on those two. that says a lot. especially given their versatility and williams’ love of the hybrid players. my guess is those two are gonna be flying around making plays. the defensive line can only get better. only thing left is finding a free safety among that group. then this defense could be complete.
top 5? wow. that would be beautiful to see. especially combined with a top 5 rushing offense?
InvaderRamModeratoron greg robinson. i think all the talk about him struggling is coming from himself. he strikes me as the type of guy who is hard on himself. i think he’s gonna be fine. he’s smart. he’s a hard worker. he’s gifted. he’s got it all. at worst, he’ll be a pro bowl guard for his career.
InvaderRamModeratorwell. police supposedly have footage of rice knocking her unconscious. that wasn’t released to the public.
i was also angry at how harbaugh responded to this whole thing.
“It’s not a big deal, it’s just part of the process,” Harbaugh said, via ESPN. “There are consequences when you make a mistake like that. I stand behind Ray. He’s a heck of a guy. He’s done everything right since. He makes a mistake, alright? He’s going to have to pay a consequence. I think that’s good for kids to understand it works that way. That’s how it works, that’s how it should be.”
maybe it should be a big deal. maybe i don’t know all the facts.
just not acceptable to me that it was a 2 game suspension. i realize people make mistakes. but in this case. i gotta agree with wv. guys are getting hammered for smoking pot and then this guy gets away with a 2 game suspension?
InvaderRamModeratorstill haven’t read much about austin. he and stacy are my picks to shine on offense this year. in terms of the skill position players that is.

InvaderRamModeratori’m appalled.
i didn’t have any respect for goodell before. nothing’s changed my mind after this.
InvaderRamModeratori love what i’m reading about donald. dare i say are we looking at a droy candidate right now? too early i know. but i love the new energy being pumped into this defense with donald, joyner, and williams. nothing but positive things from those three.
InvaderRamModeratorFrom what I have heard Gregg Williams loves above all others Alec Ogletree and TJ McDonald.
tee hee!!! that’s what i was hoping to read.
donald sounds like a keeper for sure. thanks for the report!

InvaderRamModeratori don’t know about this guy…
July 23, 2014 at 12:40 am in reply to: vid: Glazer, Moss, McNabb, Urlacher on the Rams chances #2258InvaderRamModeratori’m getting the new orleans saints roundtable…
July 23, 2014 at 12:34 am in reply to: Bradford, Bradford, Bradford, Bradford (audio + article) #2257InvaderRamModeratorit’s so easy for guys to question the rams’ confidence in bradford. what’s harder is to give an actual answer to what a better solution would be?
and i haven’t heard too many critics give a good answer to that.
this running game i think is going to be better than it’s been. maybe since the rams moved here. i said running game. not running back. but as a whole. i think it has the potential to be the best since the rams moved to st. louis. given the offensive line and the type of linemen they’ve brought in and the group of running backs they have. that’s going to help sam a lot.
InvaderRamModeratoryeah the secondary is the biggest question for me on defense. i’d try to pick out one player as being critical, but i think they all need to step up. jenkins, johnson, mcdonald, and joyner are the four most important i think. but i figure williams should be the right coach to bring this secondary together.
InvaderRamModeratoryeah the nfc west is gonna be brutal. it’s odd saying that, but it’s been that way for awhile now.
InvaderRamModeratorthat’s gonna be hard. i think robinson has a slight advantage because he’ll be playing left guard. even though it’ll be a position change, i think he’ll have less responsibilities than if he was at left tackle. the running game also has the makings of something special.
watkins, on the other hand, is playing a position with a big learning curve. on a team that will be expecting him to make plays.
i’d have to give the advantage to robinson although i’d also be cutting a lot of slack for watkins given the circumstances.
InvaderRamModeratori don’t fault him for saying that.
shoot if he didn’t want to deal with it, it’s better that sam go to another team. and not anybody would be able to handle it. just being a head coach is tough enough.
InvaderRamModeratorin some ways bradford is the perfect qb for fisher.
i’m not even sure fisher would know what to do with a great qb. if the rams are to go to the playoffs under fisher it will be lead by the defense and the running game.
so let’s hope that is in order. and bradford should be good enough to help this team win.
InvaderRamModeratori think another big question is the secondary and can williams bring that group together. and if so how long will it take?
InvaderRamModeratoryeah. long and laurinaitis for sure. i think joyner will eventually be one. for sure. how could he not?
on offense? no clue. i don’t think bradford will ever be a leader. i think he’ll be an effective qb. but not a leader.
zac stacy? i could see it. not sure yet. but i could see it. i could see greg robinson becoming a leader. not a vocal leader. but he just comes across as a guy of such high character and work ethic and ability that i think he could eventually be a leader.
InvaderRamModeratorwell i think eli looked soft at the beginning of his career. his own teammate barber criticized him early on.
hopefully bradford answers his critics this year.
InvaderRamModeratorwell what i think happens is that a bunch of young talented players start to figure it out at about the same time. stacy, austin, bailey, robinson, donald, brockers, ogletree, mcdonald, jenkins, and johnson are all young guys who could have very memorable seasons this year.
they haven’t done anything yet. but it could all happen at the same time. that’s pretty awesome when you think about it. kind of like what happened to the niners before.
hopefully this is the year.
InvaderRamModeratori’m excited. almost a week away. i’m largely uninformed about the rest of the nfl so take this statement for what it’s worth. i don’t believe there’s another set of lines with as much potential as the lines on this team. just dominant physical specimens on both sides.
unfortunately they don’t ever touch the ball or score touchdowns.
but i also don’t think many teams can claim to have a better set of running backs than the rams.
