stafford is a top 5 QB for sure.

but i’m not sure this team is superbowl caliber. at the same time i’m not sure there’s a clear cut favorite. so it’s anybody’s at this point.

very cool.

if this team can go on a run to end the season who knows? anything can happen.

what i wanna know is what happened to burgess? i thought for sure he’d take one of the safety spots and play a little nickel.

or is he playing more these days? and i’m just not seeing him?

sweet.

i would not have him as a punt returner. not with woods down.

and regarding his 40 time. that’s not as important as his agility drills. short shuttle 3.94. three cone 6.69. those numbers rival kupp’s. and then his body control. that’s what makes him special. but how much of his agility has been robbed by injuries? i hope not too much. talent wise it’s not even close. he’s on another level compared to woods. but it’s the intangibles with woods. he’s on a level that few reach in my opinion. he flourished with mcvay. i’m hoping obj can resurrect his career here.

well. it’s on obj now. wow. what a loss. makes me sick.

but i gotta trust what ramsey and miller say about obj. if they have respect for him, that says a lot to me. and now he’s got a chance to play in a dynamic offense. with a good qb. and with good players around him. i’ll be cheering him on. and i’m sure robert woods will be right there cheering him on the hardest. i’m sure robert will be in meetings, in film sessions… prepping odell and coop and van and all those receivers to be their best. they may lose him on the field, but his presence will be there.

also. at 29 obj is not old for a receiver. many a receiver still had peak years at age 29. only difference is obj is coming off an acl injury.

I’ll take OBJ over VJ any day.

well just reading around, jefferson is supposed to be a very good run blocker. and in this system receivers are expected to block. but i did find this clip of obj laying down a hellish block on a linebacker.

and in this article, the coaches talk about his blocking and drawing coverages. so maybe they don’t lose much with obj in there in the blocking department.

Odell Beckham Jr. wants the ball, but he wants a championship even more and is proving it by blocking and being a decoy

The play in which Beckham drew triple coverage and Higgins was left wide open for a 7-yard touchdown in the second quarter encapsulates the last couple of games for Beckham. He didn’t catch as many passes as anyone would like but still made an impact.

“I know the production hasn’t been there for him, and I’m not worried about that. I do think it will come. But it’s the other stuff that he does really, and in the run game, I know it’s not sexy, but he was really effective. He really came down and really put the wood to a couple of those safeties in the game.”

i don’t dislike him. but where are his touches going to come from? not cooper. not robert. and he certainly doesn’t block like those two. van? i assume that he’s a willing blocker. is obj willing to block? i would think that’s what it would take to get touches on van. i don’t know. i’m a little skeptical about how he will fit in.

He might not play against the Titans though.

game time decision. but if not this week then surely next week.

not only do they have great talent on this team. but they seem to have great character as well. jones and miller both come across as standout people.

just so excited. what a season so far.

Von is a force multiplier for both Floyd and Donald

yeah. wow. donald will make miller better. but for the first time in a long time, donald has someone who could actually make him better as well. depending on how miller plays in the second half of the season i really would like to see him sign a 2-3 year deal with the rams. that could be one helluva front seven for the next couple years.

Assuming he has something left

miller is a hall of fame caliber edge rusher, and there are plenty of examples of edge rushers who had productive season well into their 30s.

kevin greene
terrell suggs
demarcus ware

there are other examples i’m sure. it doesn’t mean that the same will be true of miller. but it’s far from impossible.

so we can hope.

3-point pressure is not a good thing if you are an OC.

this is just very exciting. very unexpected. and very exciting.

ummm… hehehehehe… uhhhhhhhhhhhhh…

i hope he’s got something left in the tank. he very possibly could. he’s got 4.5 sacks midway through the season. his second half could be much better.

and ya know… reggie white signed with the packers his age 32 season. and had some pretty freaking good seasons after that. so he’s not necessarily done.

this season just got a lot more interesting.
