Bradford won Offensive Rookie of the Year in the WCO, didn’t he? Shurmur, I believe, was the oc. Lots of dinking and dunking, and much easier defenses back then, but still…

It was a gamble. A lot of decisions are probabilities. I think it was the best play the Rams had at that time. Whether it works out or not has to be factored in before you make the play. Then you hope things go your way. If it was a good bet, it goes your way often enough to pay off. If it doesn’t work out, doesn’t always mean it was a bad bet, or visa versa, a good bet. In Long’s case, it was the best bet that they had to make. They sort had to make it and hope it worked out. There was no other play close and they could afford it.

Yeah, I agree. I think it was one of Snisher’s “win now” moves. They could afford it, and it was the teams best shot at getting (what they hoped would be) a high quality LT.

Worst – Minn, and then Dallas. You can’t lose that Dallas game after being up 21-0. That Rams fumble right before the half lost that game. The Rams fell apart after that.

Best games were Denver, beating Seattle, and watching Kapernick and Harbaugh after they fumbled at the goal line.

There’s some nasty math involved in trying get rid of Cutler. I’m not saying it won’t happen, but boy that’s a lot of money for a QB that looks like he never gives a damn about anything.

The Rams aren’t touching him.

I think they’ll destroy the Giants. 26th on D? Bleh. We’ll run on’em, play-action pass, and then hammer Eli. I expect at least one pick-six.

for the Rams/Bradford.
Is there any reason Bradford should/would take less money
next year?
Are there any creative-cap-answers that could be worked out?

Mainly I wanna know WHY Bradford would accept
less money next year than he is already
guaranteed by the contract he and the Rams
signed.

What leverage do the Rams have?
What leverage does Sam have?

I wonder what Rams fans would say
in a poll where they had to pick between
bringing back Sam or bringing back S.Hill ?
I’m not sure which i would say
is the priority.

I don’t know. Those are excellent questions, though.

I can’t see why Bradford would walk away from $16 Million, unless he does one of those “good for the team” deals, like Brady has done.

Turnovers.

As for the O-line, Barksdale will certainly need to be sharper than last week, but the backs could stand to do a better job of picking up blitzes, or when an O-lineman whiffs.

Hopefully, if there are breakdowns in pass blocking, Hill with throw it away, or just take the sack. Sometimes a punt is a good play, especially for this team. The defense is playing well, our coverage units are good, and our punter is excellent.

If the play ain’t there, just eat it, and punt.

No turnovers.

Oregon State’s Sean Mannion (6-5½, 220) drew the most praise among the seniors. He scored 36 on the 50-question Wonderlic intelligence test.
“More of a third-rounder,” one scout said. “Just lacks arm strength. Good size, good production.”

This guy, maybe.

Yeah. Tall and smart. He should be able to learn the game.

Arm strength can be improved.

Not worried about mobility. If he can duck and dodge a little in the pocket, buy an extra second and throw the ball, that’s good enough.

Ray Finkle Greg Zuerlein will be fine.

KaeperPick just tossed an int. Perfect.

GZ = terrible field. They should plow it under and plant corn.

The biggest difference is likely the bad decisions by Davis to hold onto the ball and take sacks or throw ill-advised passes returned for TDs.

Yep.

Davis: 29 sacks in 8 1/2 games.

Hill: 6 sacks in 3 1/2 games.

Damn straight! Yep, I agree. And the game will be on local TV here, so I’ll get to watch it.

So I’m predicting a win, and I get to see it.

Wait…

We’re doomed.

Keep your money in your wallet, RFL. 🙂

I agree with WV. I need to see this team win two in a row. But I think that’s getting ready to happen.

Slowly, but surely, this team keeps getting better.

I’m sorry to hear about your sister, ZN. I hope things go well for her, and for you. We’ll be thinking of you.
