wvParticipant
That was a good one.
Hayes played hurt the last 2 seasons.
And it’s impossible to not admire his spirit.
“I want to get in the postseason,” Hayes said. “That’s what it’s all about. I’m a team guy. I don’t care about accolades. If that was the case, I could have went somewhere and been the starter.
Yeah, definitely one of my favorite
players.Third and Long: Quinn, Hayes, A.Donald, C.Long
That would be fearsome.w
vwvParticipantWhere is the outrage? I feel like I’m in crazy town.
I thought there’d be way more outrage, too.
There’s two of us in crazy-town.Frankly, I think Goodell should just resign.
Just my o-pinion.w

vwv, obviously Kurt is saying that the qb has a lot of leeway there.
You have 4 years of data and three OC’s to form conclusions.
Its a pattern. Go back and look at his college tape, its there!!
Well, (to state the obvious) he has more talent on this team on
offense, defense and special teams,
than any of his other Ram Teams.
Especially when Stedman comes back.So, I’m excited.
Bring on the Vikings.

vwvParticipantThe secondary is the bigger concern for me, by far. Once Saffold moved to guard last year the ground game looked great. Saffold, in particular, makes me optimistic about the o-line. I know his injury history is a concern, but I do believe that playing inside will help him be healthier.
Before Saffold’s play last year how long has it been since the Rams have had pro-bowl level play from a guard? Timmerman back with the GSOT? Then, you add a guy like Joseph who sounds like a good pick-up and the potential of Robinson?? That depth and potential has me excited for the year.
The secondary scares me a little. They were dominated at times last year. They looked helpless against Boldin in the 2nd 9er game. I don’t have much confidence that JJ or Tru will ever be good corners.
Well, I’m expecting the pass-rush to be so good this year,
that the DB’s and LB’s will be scoring game-breaking TDs
on a regular basis.I think this will be the best Ram Defense we’ve seen
since the 70s.w
vwvParticipantWell, it looks like another ‘human-turns-grows-a-superbrain’
script. I think the very first time i saw that story,
it was on the old “Outer Limits” series back in the 60s.
Cept in that show, the guy wore sunglasses to hide
his eyes cause they looked like fried eggs.Anyway, i can watch Scarlett even if the movie’s bad:

Britt and Quick once again.everywhere together. Quick made a great catch and Britt pounded his back #ramscamp
================================================Well i was thinking Britt was the biggest threat to Quick’s job.
But maybe Britt is actually Quick’s savior. Interesting.
w
vwvParticipantI wish i could watch an entire football practice.
I have no idea what its really like for the players,
since i just see little snippets of action.Does it seems like there’s a lot of ‘standing around’
during practice?Are practices really that hard?
w
vwvParticipantI know, just a lot of unanswered questions for me.
Bottom line….there is NO reason to strike a woman!!
I just think a two-game suspension sends a terrible message to
players. I mean what about the next time a player
beats a woman or knocks her around but she’s still conscious —
does he get a ONE game suspension? What if he just
drags her down the steps by her hair cause
she was hitting him — a one or two game suspension?I think Goodell has done a terrible job on this one.
Just my opinion.
(and yes, i know there are unanswered
questions but i dont think they are all that relevant.
For example i dont think its relevant that she
was swinging away at Mr 200 pound stud-pro-athlete.)w

wvParticipantYou have to fail three drug tests before you’re punished by the NFL, Invader.
Again, I don’t know what actually happened, but I find it hard to believe that Goodell would see a tape of a player knocking a woman out, and only give him a two game suspension.
The NFL has a billion dollar image to uphold.
I also find it hard to believe that the police have such a video that has not been leaked.
In today’s all access age, TMZ would have it by now.
I dunno.
Well Mort talked about the rest of the video on the elevator. Did you see him talking about it ? I can’t remember his exact words but he acted like it was not pretty.
w
vwvParticipantThanks for the reports, Jimi.
Always good to hear from you.I wonder what happened to
JimiTroutBoy ?w
v- This reply was modified 10 years, 4 months ago by wv.
wvParticipantMaybe Goodell has more information about what actually happened than the general public.
The video got us no closer to the truth.
You mean, like Janay had an AK47 in the elevator?
What possible justification could there be
for knocking her unconscious? What other
facts could mitigate that?w
vwvParticipantThe media-celebrities are just not sold on Bradford. They’ve seen Kaperhead and R.Wilson
do big things, but they haven’t seen Sam do big things.I think thats prettymuch how they analyze thingz.
w
vwvParticipanti’m appalled.
i didn’t have any respect for goodell before. nothing’s changed my mind after this.
Janay Palmer’s behavior after the knockout is pretty classic. I see it all the time.
The woman blames herself somewhat, and she still loves her man, and doesn’t want
him to go to jail, etc. They always say the same thing: “I just want him to get help”.
They say that whether its a drug issue or a violence issue. Ah well.
I dunno. Maybe Rice is really getting help. I’d still have hammered him with the suspension.
You simply canNOT hammer players for smoking pot and then give a two game suspension
for blasting a woman. She could have had her neck broken or suffered brain damage, etc.
Goodell should have sent a message, imho. I think this is the worst decision he has ever
made as a commish.w

wvParticipantNot exactly a glowing review of Mr Sam:
“…so far he’s unpolished, hard working guy, long way to go technique wise….he’s receptive to coaching…he’s got the right attitude…ready to learn…he’s got some of the tools to play this game, but he’s just unpolished at this point….he just keeps chipping away….”

vwvParticipantThe reason the Rams will move to LA is the same reason they moved to St Louis – $$MONEY$$
Georgia, at the time, moved the Rams to St.Louis for what was a extremely lucrative deal for her and basically a one sided deal that favored her and the Rams. St.Louis, not so much. $$MONEY$$ All profit for her.
Stan, let’s not forget, is a big time business man. In the top of the top when it comes to making money in this country. It’s all about money for him. It’s not about a loyalty to a city or area of the country. He’s sees what is the big prize of the NFL in the future – and it’s a franchise in LA. No way he passes up that opportunity when he is positioned perfectly to make that move. Big time $$MONEY$$ awaits Stan in LA and in it’s diverse income revenue streams.
Later my Friends…
Well if i were really all about money, i might agree,
but i wonder if it really is. Stan is from the Midwest.
He doesnt seem like the kinda guy that wants to be
hated by his Midwestern tribe. I dont think he
is a carbon copy of Georgia by any means.It’s really impossible to tell the future on this one.
Its up in the air. Hovering. The future is unclear.
Its an enigma covered with fog,
waiting silently, in the harbor.Today is “mountainFest” in Motown, btw. A gazillion-thousand mongols on motorcycles
descend on my town for four days. With their vibrating chrome Hoggs.
If i had a flame-thrower,
you would see me on the news.
Alas, i do not have
a flamethrower.w

“…MountainFest is the biggest event that Morgantown has. It’s like a four-day long WVU football game for bikers, and by “football game” we just mean the drunken tailgating beforehand. From July 24-28 at Mylan Park, bikers drive in from all over the nation to the party capital of the America to see half-naked girls in leather dry hump a Harley.

wvParticipantI’ve said before i didnt think rebuild was the right word,
but I think i’ve changed my mind, and now i think
rebuild is ok, if we are going to go ahead and
reduce complicated, multi-layered, processes
down to one oversimplified-word.So, ya know, DEATH to YOU and,
Choose your Weapons.w
vwvParticipantIn the “Fisher Says Bradford is Full-Go”
it says:“We have a couple things just lingering,” Fisher said. “Will Hayes had THREE offseason surgeries. Will is ahead of schedule, probably shooting for Week 2 or 3 in the preseason in having him play. So we’ll monitor his reps. But he’s doing fine.”
I did not know that. Hayes has been such a good player,
i hate to think he won’t be the same pass-rusher this year.Also, JT wrote:
“..All along, Fisher and general manager Les Snead have pointed to Year 3 of their regime as the breakout year. Fisher’s making no predictions, then again, he said: “We feel like we’re built now to compete week-in, week-out.”
That is not what Fisher and Snead have said in public. They’ve always said they were
trying to win it all each year.
Granted we all knew damn well they were building with year 3 and 4 in mind.I know Fisher will not be on the hot-seat no matter what his record is this year — Stan will give him five years —
but I will be quite disappointed if they dont have a winning record this year. I mean, Fisher and Snead
have had the benefit of the RG3 picks. Most new regimes dont start with that kind of luck.
The NFC West is the toughest division, but i still think a coach should have a winning
season in his third year. So it is written. So shall it be.w
v
wvParticipantwell, ive criticized him for not being Rothlisberger,
and having what seems like zero-escapability,
but, i’m pretty sure they can ‘make’ the playoffs
with him. I know he can be a 90+ level QB.Whether he can run the gauntlet of playoff games
and win a title is an unknown (to anyone).For now, (until i see him perform in playoff games)
the only question i have is, can he stay healthy.
It’s all about his durability for now.w
vJuly 24, 2014 at 8:44 pm in reply to: Articles & vids on Donald & Robinson (Donald already impressing them) #2442wvParticipantI can hardly wait to see this guy.
I know DT’s usually take about three years
to hit their stride, but this guy
really seems special.I cant believe he fell to the Rams.
w
vwvParticipantDictionaries across the English speaking world are being updated to include his picture next to the phrase “Lost Cause”…
Bullet Dodged for the Rams…but I never wanted the Rams to take him in the first place, I wanted Michael Floyd instead…We ended up with neither, but Floyd certainly looks to have rebounded and gotten on track after he fell in the draft partly due to alcohol issues while at Notre Dame. Blackmon is going to end up in jail for a long time I’m afraid before he hits bottom.
Yeah, i am SO glad Snisher lucked out,
and they didnt get who they wanted.
Blackmon is a disaster.Thankyou Jacksonville.

for that last DLine spot?Sam has the edge now, one would think.
w
vwvParticipantI think they will run more than
in Fisher’s first two years.
Cause they’ll be winning more
games and running out the clock.I also think they will be more effective
passing it short, medium and long,
cause the personnel is just better now
with Robinson and Saffold at Guard
and Tavon and Stedman having a year under their belts
and the defense will put them in good positions, etc.I think they are ready to rumble.
And the Sleeper has Awakened.
The Phoenix has risen.
The Toast is ready.
I’m walking on sunshine.w
vwvParticipanthmmmm, I am supposed to hate the Vikings because they unintentionally designed a Stadium that may kill some birds?
And, they’re not considering the design change at all ?
Sorry, I don’t get the hatred
Its just kindof a joke around here to hate the Vikings
for various reasons. All the playoff losses in the 70’s
plus there was a year where we dealt with Viking flamers
or somethin like that. I forget.I would think they could just hang a bunch of dead birds
from ropes in front of the glass. That should solve the problem.
They could paint’em purple maybe.w
vwvParticipant…A year ago, I figured he was a bust. Now, I guess I don’t see him that way. He will never be the feature back he was drafted to be. But he actually offers the team quite a valuable package.
Well, all i know is the coaches have made an obviously conscious effort
at saying positive things about
Quick and Pead.
One gets the impression the coaches think those two guys have the physical skills
but need ‘confidence’ or some change in their mental-approach.I’m not real optimistic about either guy, but we’ll see what unfolds.
If both guys turn out to be busts it does set them back but
not that much, if the other unit-players step up.
I mean if Bailey and Britt can be solid, then I think they
can win with that. And Stacy and Tre and Benny seem
like a good RB-unit to me.Drafting Tre may say something about Pead. I dunno.
Not drafting a WR, may say something about Quick. I dunno.w
vwvParticipantBout damn time.
Sherman’s very smart. He (and I’m sure his coaches) recognized that the league values the “TV contract” more than the rules of the game…otherwise offensive holding by OL would be called on nearly every play. It’s not, for several reasons. Same with cut/chop blocks that injure both OL and DL and used to make defenses HATE any offense that used “zone blocking” techniques like Denver used to because it meant going after guy’s knees.
Same shit New England did in SB36.
I really hope they enforce this rule.
A lot.
Well, i doubt they enforce it in the playoffs.
Maybe the regular season, but they
wont call penalties in the playoffs.w
