For now I will trust in McVay. If he wants OBJ, then I hope he gets OBJ.

But how many combustible personalities can you add until you reach the flash point?

Cool. They can call their defense the “anemic curtain”.

Well, like most people here, I don’t think the Rams should sign Suh. However, that seems to be a minority opinion out in the Rams ‘twitterverse’ and on other social media sites.

“I think we need to consider the possibility that altruism can be unintentional and arise out of self-interest.”

I read something written by a marine biologist once about the stories of dolphins “saving” downed pilots by pushing them towards shore. He said that he also doubted that the dolphins were really trying to rescue the pilots.

He noted that cetaceans are highly intelligent and playful. He thought it was possible that the dolphins saw the pilots as toys and that pushing them through the water was a type of play behavior. He noted that this behavior can be seen with inanimate objects as well. Dolphins will spend hours delightfully pushing stuff around.

He thought it likely that for every pilot pushed towards shore, many others were pushed away from shore.

Of course, only the pilots that were pushed towards shore lived to tell the tale about how they were ‘rescued’ by dolphins.

“So even though bees were disappearing in alarming ways and at alarming rates, their population never actually saw a significant decline. The number of honeybee colonies peaked in 1989, at 3.5 million colonies; in 2008, two years after CCD was first characterized, that number dipped to 2.4 million, the worst year for honeybee populations in recorded history. Since their lowest point, honeybee populations in the U.S. have climbed at a modest pace and now stand at 2.7 million colonies…”
===========================

Well 2.7 still sounds pretty low compared to 3.5.

At any rate, i dont pay much attention to combine numbers. Its just bees in underwear as far as I’m concerned. I only pay attention to how bees actually sting.

Well, absolute numbers don’t tell the story. It’s the trend.

Besides, maybe 3.5 million was too many bees. Ever think of that?

I, for one, will rest easier knowing that the dangerously unsustainable bee population has been culled to manageable levels.

Thanks to our noble benefactors, the fungicide, and the parasitic Varroa mite.

Actually, honey bees are doing ok…

Brilliant.

Wonder if it means they keep Tavon?

I doubt it simply because Tavon hasn’t shown he can be a true WR in the NFL. He’s no more of a replacement for Watkins than Johnny Hekker is at this point.

Wow. Talk about a Massey complex…

I remember the very first post I ever read on a Rams message board. It was back in 1998. I picked it first even though it was in the middle of a thread because the name of the poster caught my eye…Great Ram in the Sky. He was responding to a poster named Jack Youngblood (later he went by just JYB). He said “Listen Whippy-dip. Jim Everett could still be a starting QB in this league.” 🙂

He was one of the characters that kept me posting on that old PD board. If it wasn’t for him, maybe I wouldn’t have formed the long lasting message board relationship I have today with many of the posters here.

RIP Great Ram in the Sky.

Yeah, I like Gesicki too (big surprise) but he’s a TE so he’s not really a replacement for Watkins. He’s extremely athletic and would be great in the red zone where the Rams sorta struggle at times.

you’re right. not exactly a like for like replacement. but he’d replace his targets. we all know mcvay loves tight ends. this is guy tests off the charts.

his shorts shuttle and 3-cone times are in. 4.10 seconds and 6.76 seconds. holy cow. this guys is off the charts! it sounds like you’ve seen plenty of this guy. but he produced as well at penn state. his blocking sounds not very good though. still. just let him run routes and catch the ball!

Yeah he’s no blocker and probably will never be. He’s tall but he doesn’t have a big frame. But in the passing game he’s a matchup nightmare.

According to PFF, 2017 was Quinn’s worst season.
Part of this is due to his injuries, but his play has been in steady decline since 2013.

This is concerning…

Peters played his position well last season but suddenly developed a distaste for physical contact, as if he was playing not to get hurt. Some of his actions in his efforts to avoid contact bordered on the comical.

Sounds like Peters could be a challenge for McVay and Phillips.

But if it works out, the Rams have perhaps the best cover corner in football locked up for two years at a bargain price.
