I wouldn’t have been surprised by the new Foles jersey … but I’m surprised by the new Bradford jersey. I really thought there was a chance the Rams could go after Foles with draft choices. Had no idea that Philly was that hot after Bradford, and that the Rams would really trade Bradford.

Not a Soul
saw it comin except
maybe Jack P Miller.

Guys, I’m getting old. But I do watch pre-season games. And I don’t really remember this Keenum guy. If a die hard Ram fan doesn’t remember him at all … does that mean he’s pretty forgettable?

I think he’s an intriguing player, rfl.
Kindof a gunslinger.

Does the interest in Fairley mean
the Rams are not happy with Brockers?

This will sound odd but you know who he reminds me of?
His stature, clunkiness, slowness, strength, mannerisms, etc === Roman Gabriel.

@RapSheet:
Nick Fairley is on his way to visit the #Rams after spending yesterday with the #Bengals. Imagine that St. Louis D-Line…

I know Fairley was highly regarded coming out of college
but how has he performed in the pros?

Saw this at the Herd. I think ramjam posted it but i forget:

Per Jim Thomas: Rams have reached out to Detroit DT Nick Fairly. No visit scheduled as of yet.

One man’s view.
=========================================

Laram

As we sit today, the Rams are no better than they were last season, actually they’re in worst shape.

They have Robinson and Saffold on the o-line, and a qb who is a statue in the pocket. You can’t be comfortable with that!

They rid themselves of Sam and his contract, but you can thank the Eagles for coming hard for Sam!

Its not like the Rams engineered the trade NJ, and looking at the final details of the deal, the Rams are gonna be giving draft picks back IMO.

IF Sam doesn’t play, or plays less than 50% of the snaps, they got two picks coming back.

Sam will never withstand a Philly fan base. Toughest place to play in all of sports in many opinions.

The Rams have cap now, but I posted a convo I had with a FA awhile ago about the potential of playing for the Rams.

Its real, you know I don’t post BS.

Look past the fact they traded Sam, got rid of his salary, which I know you wanted, and tell me what you see?

On another note I got a text back from a longtime friend of mine, Tim McManus who is the beat writer for the Eagles.

He thinks the Eagles might keep Sam because Chip feels that their health science regime is so superior to the rest of the NFL, that they can get him healthy.

That seems odd to me considering the fact he’s had several players injured and two qb’s put on IR.

But that’s what he said.
——————-

Laram — Foles has proven one thing

that he could have one good season in an offense that is qb friendly.

He’s proven absolutely nothing in a drop back offense.

In 2013 Foles played behind the best o-line in football.

Once the Nfl got a look at Chips system and they had some injuries on the o-line, Foles was an injury prone turnover machine.

Foles should be happy to be out of Philly, his boss never wanted him, never believed in him.

Anybody would want out of that situation.

I wish Foles was a part of a bigger plan, but unfortunately he’s not!

Interesting thoughts. Lots of permutations
and weird possibilities. Itz a Spectacle,
now.

I think the two great WRs are now in play
at ten.

Just cause of the money now available to sign
a coupla free agent Hogs.

I dont thik a QB at 10 is likely,
but.. All things are Possible.

…I’m still totally discombobulated
about the trade, btw. Bradford in Green.
Foles a Ram. Foles. Geez. Who the hell is Foles?

What if the Rams take Mariota ?

I think thats the plan.
They draft Mariota and then
trade him for Bradford.

Anywayz — Big gambles by both teams but
especially the Eagles. The Eagles have
a high-risk, high-reward QB now. Quite a gamble.
It could go either way. I thought it was telling
in that article up above that they have a lot of faith
in their conditioning and strength program. They think
they can keep SB healthy. I also think its interesting
just how much they admire his skill as a player.

So I am basically gone all day, and here’s what you guys do to the board.

Trade the starting quarterback.

Damm.

What would happen if I were gone for a week? Move the team to another city?

You threatened no pie. Own it.

Exactly damn right.
Good work.
