wvParticipantI’ve seen enough of Mr Bennett. If I’m a defensive coordinator, I LOVE facing Stetson.
They can do better.

wvParticipantI dont think ive watched that entire vid before. I dont remember hearing Faulk say he half-assed the block on Rodney Harrison. The one that got Trent Green hurt. Faulk said it was preseason so he didnt really put his all into the block. Bout the 25 min mark.

wvParticipantMina Kimes. She’s Seattle’s version of Jourdan Rodrigue. Really does her homework. ENJOYS doing her homework. Two of the best ‘ever’ imho.

wvParticipantSaw a youtube vid that said Ay-ook is probly gonna be a Steeler.

wvParticipantwvParticipantfarr and jb long said the same thing. barring injury i don’t see how the offense can go wrong. barring injury. i don’t have a clue about the defense though.
Yeah, football predictions are always so difficult. For the obvious reason.
Cooper Kupp should have a great year,Barring Injury.
Stafford should have a great year, Barring Injury.
The OLine looks to be the best since 99, Barring Injury.
The veteran secondary looks crafty, wily, solid, Barring Injury….

wvParticipantRams defense was about 20th in Rushing yards allowed, and Passing yards allowed last year.
If Chris Shula is successful he has a chance to say the Rams D finished better AFTER they lost Aaron Donald. Could lead to big things for Shula.
Then again the defense might implode without AD. We shall see.

wvParticipant“…Caley, 41, is now in his second season with the Rams after a long stint in New England. He also turned down an offer to become the Patriots’ offensive coordinator this spring, team and league sources said, in part because of the group of players he coaches in L.A…”
==
That cant be right. The Rams TE coach turned down an OC job to remain a TE coach?
Granted, the Patriots offense may be the worst in history.

wvParticipantI always have two reactions to the ‘it was dark…etc’ stuff in those kinds of contexts.
On the one hand, I think to myself, ‘well thats insightful on his part, he’s being honest and working on himself, and it helps others for him to admit things, etc etc etc’.
On the other hand — the wv-raging-leftist-hand, i think to myself…’well, he’s a white, male, multi-millionaire, privileged mega-star, whining about first-world-problems, while people in other places are being bombed and starved and mutilated….so, maybe his problem is not really so ‘dark’. Etc. And so forth. Buzzkill, i know.

wvParticipantyeah. for me special teams and turnovers need to improve.
If turnover rates improve AFTER Aaron Donald retired — well…that would be somethin.

wvParticipantAre there no ‘swing voters’ anymore?
wvParticipantI would ‘think’ high-football-character and self-motivation matter more than ever now, what with the shortened training sessions etc.
You almost ‘have’ to have guys that WANT to stay in shape and study film etc, etc.

wvParticipantOne of my top question marks this year is Chris Shula, btw. I have no inkling where he will rank as a ram DC. Should be interesting.
Guess who had the best winning percentage of these DCs ? Check the link.
Raheem, Staley, Wade Philips, Greg Williams, Tim Walton, Blake Williams, Ken Flajole, Jim Haslett, Larrie Marmie, Lovie Smith, Peter Giunta, Bud Carson, Willie Shaw, Fritz Shurmur, Herb Patera

wvParticipantI love the fact the Oline is not a question mark this year. Seems like most years, for most teams Oline is a question mark.
Solid Oline line. Good RBs. Good WRs. Stafford. If Tight Ends come through, it should be a playoff level offense.
Dunno if they have the overall firepower of the 49ers or Lions though.

July 12, 2024 at 2:16 pm in reply to: Stafford. You know, that Mark Stafford guy, the quarterback #151389wvParticipantI keep waiting for the national media to wake up to the fact that there is a very strong argument, Stafford is the best QB in the NFC and maybe the second best in the entire NFL.
I mean Mahomes is Mahomes. But after that…I dunno. Ya got the usual four or five AFC QBs always mentioned. But Stafford didnt just get a Ring two years ago, he LEAD the Rams to a ring. Outdueled Brady, and Burrow, and came back against the 49ers.
I will never understand some of these rankings.
w
v
wvParticipantI dunno. He doesn’t seem particularly forthcoming about it. Seems pretty vague to me.
I guess he doesn’t owe the public a dave chappelle type explanation of his breakdown or whatever it was. But i hope the kid has insight inside his OWN head on what happened and what he needs to do now.
….course I’m still tryin to figure out what Ferragamo’s issue was.

wvParticipantCorbyn got more votes for Labor Party than centrist Starmer did this time around. Greenwald thinks evidence shows most Brit voters are disgusted with both mainstream parties.
wvParticipant“confusion WITH confidence is even more troubling”
wvParticipantwvParticipantMarshall Faulk@marshallfaulkKnowledge relaxes me.
Knowledge… gives me that blank, thousand-mile-stare, as i recognize capitalism’s destruction of the biosphere, and the universe’s expansion into nothingness.

wvParticipantHelmets. Tier one – Rams.
Tier two — Cowboys, Chargers, Packers
Tier three — Steelers, 49ers, Saints, Bears, Eagles, Browns.
Tier four — all the rest, except the Bengals.
Tier 42 – Bengals.
wvParticipantwvParticipantSteve Cutts has several vids on youtube, i like. One example.
wvParticipantSo, Lebron James’ son, Bronnie was drafted by the Lakers. Father and son, on the same team. Interesting story, lots of cross-currents and layers.
One black commentator (in this vid) said, he doesnt want to hear about nepotism NOW. When a black person benefits from it. He pointed out Jerry Bus’s son used to run the Lakers. Noone complained. Etc, and so forth.
wvParticipantKupp looks bigger, stronger. I hope he’s not slower.
w
v
wvParticipantWell, I’ve cringed plenty of times at the stuff the white-males have said (and ‘not said’) about race during the caitlin clark discussions. The Eisens and Dan Patricks and the rest. Its not trump-level stuff of course. But its lib-shit stuff. What irks me most is just the ‘uncomfortableness’ they display with the whole subject. Their voices change. They get very…oh…’deliberate.’ Its like they think the subject is full of landmines.
‘Leftists’ just talk about it in a matter-of-fact way. Its like we LIKE talking about it. The libs hate talking about it. I could go on.

June 24, 2024 at 12:53 pm in reply to: Rams off-season assessments & rankings & early previews #151260wvParticipantwvParticipantBrady is a good listen, here, I think. He will make a good analyst for Fox. I dont think he will ever resonate with fans the way, say, Madden did though. Brady has this weird quiet intensity and knowledge. Which is great. But he lacks…oh…humor. Or somethin. Somethin he cant get by working hard or studying the ‘craft’ of tv-talking.
Ya either got the humor thing or you dont.
He has high praise for Scarneccia (sp?) here, not surprisingly. Said Scar coached the practice squad guys as meaningfully as the starters. “Everybody on the Patriots got coached”

wvParticipantBrady. Cowherd. Two very smart, but very pro-corporate guys.
Why cant i have one single solitary Marxist-Communist-Anarcho-Maoist-Leninist-Fanonist-Revolutionary celebrity-sportz-pundit.

wvParticipantConsensus among celebrity-punditz iz, the Texans will be awesome next season. I dunno if they will or not, but i didnt know they accomplished a lot last year despite some serious injury situations:
“….Houston set a new record with 82.1 AGL, which surpassed the previous record set by the Los Angeles Rams in 2022. The Texans shuffled constantly throughout the regular season, starting seven different offensive line combinations. No group up front played more than four consecutive games together.
Texans right guard Shaq Mason was the only lineman to play all 17 regular season games. Green, tackle Tytus Howard, and rookie linemen Jarrett Patterson and Juice Scruggs each accounted for 10 AGL.
The lack of continuity up front likely contributed to the running game struggles. Houston averaged 3.7 yards per carry, tied with the Las Vegas Raiders for fourth-worst in the league. The Texans’ pass blocking was slightly better, with 47 sacks surrendered — just outside the bottom-10 in the league….”
