Perhaps he was talkin bout myles: “there’s no stoppin what cant be stopped”

In their game last year (11/30 in Cleveland), 49ers led the whole way and won 26-8. In spite of playing from behind all game, Garrett had 1 sack, 2 TFLs, and 3 qb hits. Purdy was pressured on 32.3% of his dropbacks. That’s in spite of throwing just 29 times (for 168 yards). He also had 17.4% bad throws. Of the 9 regular season games he played, Purdy faced a higher pressure rate again Seattle in their 1st game, but no other game had such a high percentage of bad throws.

I posted something somewhere in this thread stating that SF’s legendary LOT Trent Wms. gave up the highest pressure percentage of his entire career going against Garrett that game.

The football gods only allow the Rams to win a ring once every two decades or so.

So, I’m wondering which quarter of the first game, Garrett will be eaten by a Shark, or possibly a salt-water crocodile.

Then again, the Inland Taipan is the deadliest snake in the world. So there’s that.

Also, the Sydney Funnel-Web spider.

The more OL I study, the more convinced I am that coaching/scheme/environment are the biggest hidden variables…

Well, if the QB is part of the ‘environment’ then sure. Cause having an old wily talented hall-of-fame veteran is a great help to an OLine. I remember thinking that back when Brady was winning in Tampa Bay. Its just a ridiculous advantage. No matter how talented Caleb is Drake May etc, it aint the same as having someone who has seen it all and can process fast.

Granted, there’s a limit. We’ve seen Stafford bulgerized in the post-super-year.

I remember back when the Rams had fucking-super-talented monster OLines. In the 70’s and the 80’s. And they never won it all.

But in 2000 and 2022 when they did win it all, it seemed like they had one great Linemen and the rest were just ‘solid’. Dunno.

Edelman on Myles

Just speculating from all the hints that are out there. First, Garrett had a no-trade clause. He had a lot of control over where he went. If he wouldn’t waive the clause, there would be no trade. That helped narrow down the teams being considered, and the Rams have become a dream team for top players who think about a new home. But also the Browns wanted a player in the trade. The Eagles were in the mix, but Cleveland asked for Jalen Carter, and Philadelphia wouldn’t do it….

…

Well the timing is important. They are arguing the Rams were sure at the time of the Simpson pick. And they hadnt offered Verse back then, had they?

I dunno, I guess they could have known that they were gonna offer Verse if they had to.

If he comes back, I certainly hope its not early in the season. I’d hope that he would not try to play a bunch of games at his age.

Maybe come back with a few games left in the regular season. Like maybe get a few snaps in the 49er game December 13, then a few more in the Dallas game….

I guess Myles has a famous partner. Chloe Kim is a gold medalist in snowboarding.

Orlavsky on the Aaron Donald rumor : “…after hearing that with Pat, my gut tells me this is more than likely going to happen’

Myles makes a ‘QB Graveyard’ every year.

An incomplete but representative list of players acquired by LA through trade or free agency since 2017 who’ve thrived/attained new heights:

Andrew Whitworth
Robert Woods
Nickell Robey-Coleman
Brandin Cooks
Dante Fowler
Jalen Ramsey
Leonard Floyd
A’Shawn Robinson
Matthew Stafford
Kevin Dotson
Kam Curl

Yeah, they’ve done a good job. I’m trying to remember who have been the disappointments.

I seem to remember a WR, i think from the Bears. Cant remember his name.

As Nick Wright and others are saying, I’m excited about seeing what Garret can do while playing with a lead most of the game. He had 23 sacks playing for a team that was behind most of the time. We may be looking at a 30 sack season.

The Rams are unmatched at RB and DL I would say.

Ya know, watching quick-vids of him is like watching Aaron Donald. I mean, the similarities are startling.

One of the talking heads noted that average NFL fans know all about his sack record but they didnt watch him on a down-to-down basis, like other great players that are always on prime time and in the playoffs regularly. Myles will now be on prime-time about 8 or 10 times this year. If he stays healthy he is gonna be quite the celebrity.

He also reminds me a bit of Ray Lewis for some reason. The…oh….’ferocity’.

“I dont think anybody on the planet can bend like him”

Myles Garrett looks…’thick’. Ya know. Big. Wiki lists him as 6’4″ and 272 Lbs.
(I thought Jared Verse looked thick; He is listed as 6’4″ 265 Lbs.)

Didnt remember he was the first overall pick in the draft in 2017.

Scored 31 on the Wonderlic, fwiw.

So, HOW exactly is Myles better than Jared? More speed? Bendy-er? More moves?

“Jordan, Run!”

I would go get Miles Garrett, even if it takes Verse and a first rounder.

Something you dont see everyday:

B.Jones wondered whether Garrett was really all that much better than young Mr Verse. So he asked Mina ‘how much better is Garrett?’ — she said ‘A lot.’

AJ Brown does indeed go to the Pats. First Rd pick in 28 and a 5 rd pick in 27

According to the internet.
