I’m curious to see
what they have in Mr. Ayers.

I’m hoping its one of those
under-the-radar signings that pays
big dividends — like Mike Jones.

THAN I think we might have something.

This is gonna be the Rams best year

Cool, I can talk about movies here. I saw it and it was a great film, however I took my pregnant wife and that might have been a mistake.

I went with a friend of mine, and she
described it as “boring beyond belief.”

So, its not for everyone.

I enjoyed it, myself, but i am a sucker

“I grew up in the Bay Area, so I was a big Niners fan,” Garcia said.
But that was then. Now he’s wears a blue and gold Rams cap at work.
“Hey, this is my new favorite team,” he said.

Thats gotta gall, hardcore 49er fans,
I would think.

I think this roster has some questions – to be sure…but man, this looks like the strongest roster/depth wise
the Rams have had in over a decade. It’s on Foles to just play his part and we’ll do well and compete for the division. imo
I even think they can overcome the youth at the OL spots…just as long as they run the ball and keep it close with the defense.
Foles is more than competent to run this offense very well. imo

Are you ready
for some football,
Mr Suntzu-Camus?

i’m glad that he meant it to be humorous. that was the perfect one word tweet for that pick. at least coming from him.

Agreed.

…I’ll never understand what exactly happened to him though.
I really thought he showed a LOT that first year. Then…not so much.

dont know how many people heard this, but the Fast lane was talking about how in Gurleys 3 years at Georgia, not 1 Georgia O-lineman was drafted.

Maybe, but in the hi-lite vids he is often running through
huge holes.

Oh, we ALL like that idea, wv.

We are all in LOVE with that idea.

The thing is…as the honorable delegate from New Vermontavania has stated…many of us are not 100% confident that that is what the Rams have.

That’s all.

Well, if the honorable delegate from Pennsylmontia
doesn’t like the Rams OLine,
he can just go watch the North Korean’s OLine.

Does the o-line not give you pause? Cuz it gives me pause. I got pause comin’ out the ying yang. That’s how much pause I got.

The one proven player on the o-line is as fragile as a butterfly’s wings. The others are all question marks. If the o-line comes together then this team could be ready to contend but right now that looks like a big ‘if’.

” Fisher says. “I wanted to build the offensive line (from the beginning).
You build your team inside out.
And we wanted to build, but there were too many other holes.
There were too many other needs. And so we filled those.”

Lots of holes, youth, and key injuries (Jake, Wells, Sam)

But i feel good about this team now.
I think they are ready to roll.

I will echo this.

And…let me just add…almost every fan of every single team is saying the same thing about their team. “These guys will be better this year because they have more experience.”

Well, I share the basic ‘wait and see’ mentality,
but i also have read that players ‘in general’
make a jump from year one to two. More so, than
other years. I think we’ve all read that.
So, i think its a reasonable ‘expectation’ even
though its not a sure thing.

That’s clearly true, that homelessness is systemic, but then, everything is either blind to or hides that.

So…I wouldn’t expect 2 decently well off celebrities to get that.

Heck if they had the analytic bent to get something like that,
it would have shown up in different ways before this, and…they would have been crucified for it already.

Yes.

“..One of the biggest difficulties, politically speaking, is to get people to see the nature of the system in which they live. The system is very sophisticated in disguising what it does, and how it does it. One of the tasks of… and critical theorists is to try to demystify, but you can see this happening intuitively sometimes. Take the indignados movement: something happens in Spain and then, next thing, suddenly it happens in Greece — and then suddenly it happens elsewhere. Take the Occupy movement: suddenly there are occupations going on all over the place. So there is connectivity here. A specific event like Baltimore doesn’t do anything in itself. What it does do, when you add it to Ferguson and you add it to some of the other things that are going on, is to show that large populations have been treated as disposable human beings. This is going on in the United States as well as elsewhere. Then, people suddenly start to see this is a systemic issue. So one of the things we should be doing is to emphasize the systemic nature of these type of events, showing that the problem lies within the system…”
