Best sense I can get, if any stem cell treatment is being contemplated for Todd Gurley’s knee issue, the suggestion/idea is not coming from the #Rams.

first of all. what the fuck?

second of all. i heard stem cell therapy might not be all it’s cracked up to be.

third of all. what the fuck???

thank goodness.

“I think Hockenson’s the cleanest player in the draft,” Jeremiah said. “There’s nothing that you’d want from that position that he doesn’t have. He has all of it. We just saw the value of in-line, ‘Y’ tight end in the playoffs. I’m not saying he’s Gronk. But he’s dominant in the run game, and it’s hard to find that without sacrificing athleticism. … To me, as a draft pick, he’s right in the middle of the fairway.”

man i just love what i read about this kid.

but rams have so many needs on defense. and it’s a deep draft for dline and edge rushers?

on offense they gotta keep the oline intact and hope goff keeps developing which i think he will.

i wonder though how you replace a nose tackle, a cornerback, and a safety in one off-season.

i hope whit and saffold come back.

whattya think about fowler? i’d let him go somewhere else. rather sign a guy like anthony barr.

here’s some zac robinson breaking down the rams offense.

what a weird story.

only one qb i’d take over goff right now. that’d be mahomes.

The Patz D always had 2 calls–one to show pre-snap, and then the actual D they played at the snap.

well my point remains. a 27 year old goff should react much better than the current 24 year old goff. he should get better.

i’m a little troubled at how badly beaten this oline would get at times.

not sure if it was the oline or perhaps goff was getting confused and not making proper adjustments.

but i do hope whit and saffold are back next year.

I think it’s pretty clear McV was completely outcoached.

i don’t know that he was “completely” outcoached.

i definitely think he was outcoached, but it depends on what you mean by “completely”.

it was 3-3 in the fourth quarter. they even had a chance to tie it in the end before a pats fg made it 13-3.

the rams were definitely in it until the end.

i just think mcvay has to have an answer when the 3 wr formations aren’t working. shoulda gone with more 2 tight end sets.

mack wilson?

i know nothing of this mack wilson.

but i do think the rams need linebackers.

To me, the game of football at the NFL level is far more about brute force, speed, agility and just flat out physical superiority — on the field — than anything else.

i would agree with that when it comes to college football.

in the pros, especially now, there’s so much parity. all athletes are fast and strong at this level. in a sport like basketball i would agree that athleticism trumps everything else. individuals are much more likely to take over a game. but in football every part had to be in sync with each other. coaching can’t help but play a part. although i agree execution of the players has to happen or the best scheme in the world won’t matter.

so maybe genius is too strong a word, but he’s the best in the business right now. quite possibly the best ever.

you do however make great points. it can’t ever be just one thing or the other. i guess our disagreement lies in how much of a difference coaching makes.

i do think a healthy todd gurley or even a healthy kupp could have been the difference. so this is also not a knock on mcvay. he’s a helluva coach. the difference between mcvay and belichick might largely just be experience. then again i think the rams struck oil with mcvay. he’s potentially special.

and i do place some blame on goff. he’s only 24. he’ll get better. someone put some numbers up of some very good qbs and their first playoff game against belichick. so goff ain’t the first qb to struggle against him.

gonna be a long off-season.
