wvParticipantThat;s likely very true but let’s see if he steps up in a contract year. I don’t mean he will or even can become a #1, but maybe that combo of receivers plus the TEs can do so some good things.
Hard to say what Seattle will be this year. Two mystery teams. I expect a close game, down to the wire.
Can the defense stop the run? Can the Oline block? Can McVay coach young players?

wvParticipant“Without Kupp, Van Jefferson steps into the No. 1 receiver role, while Tutu Atwell and Puka Nacua become Nos. 2 and 3…”
Good lord. Van Jefferson is a no.3 WR, I’d say.

wvParticipantRams Brothers@RamsBrothers Alaric Jackson • didn’t start playing football until his JR year of HS • starting LT for a team that’s less than 2 years removed from winning a SB • beat out Whitworth’s replacement in Noteboom, who was handed $40MM
This is ridiculously nitpicky….but “didnt start playing football until his JR year of HS”
So what.

wvParticipantTo state the obvious, I think they could steal some games here and there without Kupp, but on a week to week basis? They cant win consistently without him. I just dont see how. Stafford relies on him so much. I mean, they share the same brain out there. Cant replace that. Cant game plan around a loss like that.
fuck.

v
wvParticipantRams may be one of the three youngest teams, but Donald, Stafford and Kupp are the three super-stars, and they aint young. I dunno how long they have to…um….ya know. The R word.
Rehab? Reboot? Realize? Relax? …

wvParticipantRams Wire@TheRamsWireStetson Bennett had the lowest grade of any quarterback this preseason, which isn’t the way he hoped to start his career===
Yeah, we are all gonna be curious to see if and how, he develops.
Skimming thru this a bit, and the only 4th rounder i can see that amounted to much was Dak.

wvParticipantSeems like an important trade to me. An under the radar type thing only hardcore fans will care about.
The kind of solid vet depth he provides could save Matthew Stafford from
getting himself all Bulgerized.
w
v
wvParticipantYeah, i dunno what to think of Bennett.
Has McVay ever developed a young QB, and not then screwed them up?
I mean, he developed Goff, but then, ya know.
w
v
wvParticipantTo state the obvious, That has to be one of the worst preseason performances in Ram history.
I have no idea if it ‘means’ anything. It doesnt lower my expectations for this season.
My expectations are that, barring key injuries, the Rams will compete for the last WildCard spot. Hover somewhere around .500. Like most teams.

Florida Man In Easter Bunny Brawl Talks About His Furry Fist Fight
ORLANDO (CBSMiami) – The man in the bunny suit is speaking out. That’s right, the guy in an Easter Bunny suit caught on viral video punching another man outside an Orlando nightclub Sunday night says he was simply bar hopping with friends when he spotted another man and a woman fighting. He hopped over to help the woman and let his furry fists fly.
“So I got over there so I could break up the fight and, with me trying to break up the fight, he got on top of her, and hit her, so I had to try a different method basically to break up the fight, which actually worked,” explained Antoine McDonald to WESH 2 News.

to lower expec-tations. 🙂
If the Rams need Joe Noteboom to be a good player, my expectations are now
lowered.

wvParticipantYou guys know, I’ve been a fan since late in 1968. First full season as ram fan was 69.
So, I’ve had… two good years. Two rings. In over 50 years.
Ah well.

v
wvParticipantWhats the major knock on St. Bennett? Why wasnt he considered as a top pick?
w
v
wvParticipantTutu is an interesting case. I’m not optimistic about him, but its interesting to think about how we would look at his story if he ‘did’ make a significant leap this year.
Coaching.

August 16, 2023 at 7:49 pm in reply to: Rams preseason 8/15 – 8/19, practicing w/ the Raiders #144892wvParticipantI think Puka may already be the 2nd best offensive weapon on the team. Kupp is first, obviously.
I dunno why he wasnt picked earlier in the draft.
w
v
wvParticipantI am not expecting a ‘breakout season’ from Van Jefferson;
I am expecting more of the same.
w
v
wvParticipantI love J.R. but I’m not exactly, totally sure there was really a theme tying all that together. I mean, it just sounded like ‘the Rams are working on improving personnel decisions and processes’. Well….duh. So is every other team.
w
v
wvParticipantCant have enough solid vets, i would think.
Patching together a scrappy, intelligent team, one hopes.
w
v
wvParticipant‘I dont know yet,’ but i am a bit pessimistic about the D (as well as the O and Special Teams).
J. Ramsey, Ashawn Robinson, Greg Gaines, Leonard Floyd, Bobby Wagner… — man, that is some serious veteran talent they have lost. I dont think they can equal that with cheap-young-talent.
And i dont think a more aggressive front 7 will alter that.
So, I’m a little pessimistic even though, I ‘dont know’.
I ‘do’ think the NFL has a lot of parity, and I think a ‘decent’ team can compete for a Nine or Ten win season and a playoff berth. So, sure, the Rams ‘can make the playoffs’ if they get some good bounces and few injuries, blah blah.
w
v
wvParticipantNot a big deal, but its odd that Stafford and Demoff are not in sync on the contract topic.
w
v
wvParticipantI would think, this would be Higbee’s biggest year.

Okey dokey.

July 7, 2023 at 11:21 am in reply to: top 5 Rams clutch passes of all time (that I saw live at the time) #144540wvParticipantWell, my favorite was the Sonny Jurgenson to Isiah Robertson pass in the playoffs.
Jurgenson threaded the needle, and Robertson made some nifty moves.
w
v
wvParticipantYeah, i think that all makes sense.
Stafford is the perfect fit with McV because, Stafford will ‘never’ lose confidence. Of all the Ram QBs i’ve watched in my life, I’d say, Stafford may be the most obstinately-F’ing-confident QB I’ve ever seen. It can lead to a Ring, and it can lead to games with 27 INTs.

wvParticipantI should vote for trump. Maybe he’d send me to Cuba.
==
Trump's fascism is becoming more deliberate & there will be no opposition to this because anti-communism has always been the tie that unites Democrats/liberals and Republicans/conservatives. Because socialism/communism (people power) is the only real threat to the ruling class. https://t.co/PnJpxmEBJG

June 26, 2023 at 6:47 pm in reply to: the 2023 OL thread (w/ definitive article posted on 5/30) #144475wvParticipantThe last time the Rams used their top pick for an Interior Olineman was — last year. Bruss. Ok, well, they are stocking up, arent they. w v
….so that the Rams actually have a list of experienced players to build with in 2023. If Jackson works out as predicted, for example, they will have possibly gotten a starting LOT as a UDFA, which is a major find.
Well, if the Rams find a solid starting LOT from the UDFA pile, the scouts deserve a medal. I mean, thats the kind of find that changes a season.
