    Welcome back, Jack.

    I was afraid Zooey enticed you over to the Raiders board.

    How about that Arizona game, huh?

    Happy we beat them. I feel we should be undefeated though. It felt like we did not show up for the Washington Racists game. Pittsburgh, I still feel Britt caught the ball. Don’t care what most people say, the refs stole that game from us. I believe we have no shot in He// to beat the Packers in Green Bay.

    San Francisco Warriors used to play at the Cow Palace near SF, then moved to Oakland in the early 70’s and changed the name to represent California, not only Oakland…..e.g., when they moved to Oakland, they changed the name to Golden State, not Oakland…

    Golden State represents the state of California not the Golden Gate bridge… the Golden Gate Bridge doesn’t even touch Oakland. The bridge that you see on their jersey’s is not the Golden Gate bride, it’s the Bay Bridge that connects Oakland to SF.

    Thanks. I did not know that. I feel stupid for not knowing that either. Then again,I have never been to the west coast.

    Go Warriors!!!! It’s been 40 years since the Warriors won a championship, it’s been a remarkable season for the Golden State….

    BTW…..I was talking to my boss from France who lived in Houston and is pulling for the Rockets…. he thought that Golden State was based in New Jersey…….. they’re moving to San Francisco soon, I hope they keep Golden State as their name.

    Before changing to Golden State, they called were known as the San Fransisco Warriors. Hopefully your boss now knows, Golden State was based on the Golden Gate Bridge. The Golden Gate Warriors would not of sounded right, so it got changed to Golden State.

    Rams WR, Army vet Daniel Rodriguez one to root for
    By Conor Orr
    Around The NFL Writer

    This Memorial Day is the perfect time to recognize the ultimate sacrifice made by our veterans.

    It’s also a time to marvel at the accomplishments of people like Army vet Daniel Rodriguez.

    Rodriguez was signed after a rookie tryout with the Rams. As a Purple Heart and Bronze Star recipient, he has absolutely nothing left to prove and yet, he’s trying to prove he can make the Rams’ 53-man roster.

    “When they invited me, I was like, ‘Heck yeah, I would love to try out,'” Rodriguez told the team’s website. “I’ve got nothing to lose. They flew me out here and I thought I was only going to be here for a two-day trial. And they said I had a pretty good workout, made some plays, and they offered to have me stay. It was one of those things that I couldn’t really believe happened, and it was all a whirlwind. I didn’t know what was going to happen. I had invitations to other minicamps down the road, and I was just trying to take advantage of every one. And this one was the first one and it stuck. Honestly, it was a blessing in disguise.”

    The long read on Rodriguez is well worth your time. He made an emotional promise to a fellow soldier that he’d play college football, only to see that friend lost in combat. He fought in the Battle of Kamdesh, one of the ugliest conflicts in Afghanistan.

    On top of spending time around your grill today, be sure to give it a read and remember why we have this holiday in the first place.

    I give it a grade of a C+. Of course that depends on Gurley’s health, which could be moved to a B-, or even a B. Gurley is a risk because of the ACL.

    These are just my opinions

    1. Todd Gurley RB Georgia – Will be on the roster, but may sit out for awhile until his knee is 100%

    2. Rob Havenstein OT Wisconsin – expect him to make the roster, and suit up

    3a. Jamon Brown OT/OG Louisville – expect him to make the roster, and suit up

    3b.Sean Mannion QB Oregon State – expect him to make the roster, and suit up, will take over number 3, as Davis and Keenum will compete to make roster.

    4. Andrew Donnal OT Iowa – expect him to make roster, but may not suit up unless there are injuries.

    6a. Bud Sasser WR Missouri – may make roster, but will have to show he can play special teams. More likely he will be on the practice squad

    6b. Cody Wichmann OG Fresno State – probably see him practice squad

    7a. Bryce Hager ILB Baylor – probably see him on the practice squad

    7b. Martin Ifedi DE Memphis – probably see him on the practice squad

    My lord, this is dumb.

    Erving can play Guard and Tackle as well. He was a very good LT for FSU, that moved to Center, because FSU felt they had no one on the roster of playing it. I can see Erving playing OG.

    2015 NFL Draft: Rams gets C+ for picking RB Todd Gurley at No. 10
    By Will Brinson | NFL Writer
    April 30, 2015 9:21 pm ET

    Georgia running back Todd Gurley was drafted by the Rams with the 10th pick in the 2015 NFL Draft.

    Gurley is an explosive, game-breaking playmaker, but CBSSports.com’s Pete Prisco doesn’t like the pick, giving it a C+ as a luxury pick of sorts.

    “I don’t think the Rams are in a spot to be able to take a back this high,” Prisco said. “But then again it’s Jeff Fisher. He loves to run it.”

    Gurley is good, but are the Rams at the point they can afford that luxury?

    Gurley is the first running back taken in the first round of the NFL Draft since 2012 and the highest taken since Trent Richardson went third overall to the Browns that year.

    Don’t wanna say I called it, but I actually called it, predicting Jeff Fisher would double down and take Gurley with the 10th pick this year in my mock. It’s my one saving grace, really.

    I’d wholeheartedly disagree. The Rams have a setup with no real No. 1 wideout, Nick Foles at quarterback and need to be dominant in the run game. They have Zac Stacy and Tre Mason, but the reality is that Gurley, who is coming off an ACL injury he suffered in November while playing for the Bulldogs, is a much more dominant overall running back.

    That’s doesn’t mean Stacy is happy about it.

    Who is blocking for Gurley? Is Tre Mason on the trade block? Once Scherff was gone, I thought trade down made sense, and then draft an Olineman.

    Barksdale struggled last season in pass protection, allowing seven sacks and more pressures than any other player on the Rams, according to Pro Football Focus. Some quietly positive run blocking on an offensive line that didn’t generate much push in the ground game didn’t save him, as it’s hard to ignore the fact that just three offensive tackles (Ja’Wuan James, Matt Kalil, and fellow free agent Byron Bell…not exactly good company) allowed more pressure than him last season.

    Truthfully, I feel that Barksdale’s struggles lastyear was due to the problems we had a RG and C, Davin Joseph and Scott Wells per say. Barksdale tried to do more, but those guys really made it bad for him. If we get Barksdale back, and get the Right Guard and Center positions cleaned up, he will then be fine again.

    We should start out 3-0. Then again, we are known to start out slow. If this team plays like we should coming out, 3-0 should be easy. Playing Arizona and Green Bay on the road, OK, those probably ill be losses. Based on the scheduling this team should be 7-2 after week 9. We come back to which we should win 4 games after the bye. Of course, that is my opinion.

    I know a lot of folks dont want three rookies but I

    I want to feel secure nextyear. Like rfl stated, we would have tee rookies, add on top, that Robinson is going into his second year, and Robinson is technically a rookie since he did not start, if correct, until week 8? This team is a playoff caliber team, is a playoff caliber team, and I do not want to feel scared of not being able to protect the QB. Barksdale looked bad, because he had Davin Joseph and Scott Wells at RG and C. I’d rather draft a LG, and and have Saffold move back to RG, and run between the RT and RG positions.

    If the Oline dont get fixed, another 7 or 8 win season is staring

    I am believing he will draft an Olineman in round 1, and round 3. I feel a QB may be drafted in round 2.
