    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.

    Where 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.

    wv, 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.

    in reply to: OL v DB — Biggest Concern? #2751
    Avatar photowv
    Participant

    The 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.

    I 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.)

    You 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.

    Maybe 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

    i’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.

    The 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.

    In 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.

    well, 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.

    Dictionaries 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.

    I think they will run more than

    Cause they’ll be winning more

    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.

    hmmmm, I am supposed to hate the Vikings because they unintentionally designed a Stadium that may kill some birds?

    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.

    …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.

    Bout 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.
