For some reason this year feels like we are going through a rebuilding phase. We are starting at a higher level, but it still feels like a reset restart redo thing. We did some pruning. We are deciding who is important. Then we build from that. Of course, every year, in a sense, is a rebuild year.
Yeah, I agree with that. Especially on defense. Long and Laurinaitis are gone and Jenkins, Hayes, McLeod, etc could be. Hopefully the team won’t look ‘too’ different, but nothing is ever static in the NFL, or as Nathaniel Benchley put it, “Only earth and sky last forever”. đ
We all knew this was coming, right? I would say through 2019.
i would think so too. at least through 2019.
Some places out there, it;s a hot topic.
Youâre right, here, people are mostly âenh, yeahâŠâ
Yeah, we heard rumors this was going to happen some time ago. It makes sense, really. Continuity is important and Fisher was hired, at least in part, to transition the team and players through the move. Well, the transitional period isn’t over yet and likely won’t be for awhile.
I think Fisher is going to have to start winning real soon though. I don’t think Kroenke will want to unveil his elite stadium without a team to match.
Total disrespect when u held down one side all 4 years and force the ball the other way.. #ThanksButNoThanks
Is he kidding?
He’s kidding, right?
The only thing he’s held down for four years is the title, “Most Likely to be Burned by a Double Move Even When the Offense is in a Desperate Third and Long Situation Which Means His Primary Focus Should Be in Not Letting Anyone Behind Him”.
Ok, fine. Last year it was different. But 4 years of playing like a shutdown corner? JJ, that is some serious revisionist history, pal.
I saw it and liked it. Nothing was laugh out loud funny, but there were enough clever/witty moments to make the movie worthwhile. I thought the whole commie writers kidnap plot line was really clever. I also liked Clooney’s reaction to his kidnapping and the way he interacted with his kidnappers. I thought Clooney’s character was very likable. The part where he blows his line during his moving speech about Christ was unexpected and fun. I also liked the scene right after Clooney ‘escapes’ where he is sitting with the movie executive in his office and begins to espouse communist ideals. The sailor dance scene was good as was the building level of frustration between the sophisticated well spoken director and the redneck cowboy actor. There were moments like these throughout the film that kept me interested even if the film wasn’t a continuous laugh riot. Certainly not the best Coen brothers film but not a bad offering overall.
Next up, “The Witch”. I’m hearing it may be the most frightening film in decades.
The Rams cut Laurinaitis so the question about his future with the Rams has been answered.
I wonder if Ogletree could slide into Laurinaitis’ vacated MLB spot as Wagoner suggests. Seems to me there’s a different skillset involved with playing MLB than OLB. I think they need to be more disciplined and need to be good at getting off blocks, whereas Ogletree freelances and usually runs around blocks. Ogletree’s a dangerous player because of his athleticism and ability to play in space. I’m not sure he’s suited for playing inside.
Well, Bradford missed games in 3 of the 4 seasons he was with the Rams, including all of his 4th season – although I’m not sure he’s injury prone as much as unlucky.
The problem is these guys don’t last in the league very long so it’s hard to come up with many names of an injury prone players. There’s quasi-darwinian selection pressures working against them so they don’t stick around long enough to be remembered.
Well, when I tried handing off to Gurley, turns out, I was too slow. So then in spite of swearing up and down that he would never trade me, Fisher made a swap with the Rams Huddle forum. Thatâs how Nittany ended up with them. But it blew up on them though, because Nittany may be the only guy Iâve heard of who melted down just doing hand offs.
I know. Embarrassing, right?
And scouts said I had the grace and savvy of a young Steve Dils at my pro day.
