Stedman said he only had to learn about nine plays at WVU,
but with the Rams they add about 20 per day.w
vCan you imagine what 2011 was like for the rookie receivers?
Thats exactly what i was thinking.
If i were an OC, I’m not sure how i would handle
that. How much do you throw at them?
What should you expect of them?
What are the dangers of throwing too
much at them?Especially if they are basically
‘route runners’ like Stedman.
If you have a ‘freak’ like Calvin
or Moss, you can just give them
a few routes and say “go deep
and catch the ball” — but a guy
like Bailey has to know the routes.
I’m glad BS and Fisher worked him
into the lineup slowly last year.And Tavon had even more to learn
cause he was playing all over the place.w

Yup. I saw it too, Maddy.
He didn’t criticize you — flat out,

“We all have it com’in kid”
UnforgivenAnd I tell you what, I am really puzzled as to why all the hype was on Clowney with this guy sitting there in the draft. And I am bewildered by all those GMs passing on him. Other than QB, I think a DT who can do what he appears to be able to do is perhaps the rarest and most valuable asset in FB.
They said Clowney was a once in a decade type player. Well, recognizing that he hasn’t faced other teams yet even in pre-season, Donald seems to be a once in 3 decades DT. And he plays next to Quin! Lord, this is going to be fun!
The only criticism i’ve seen aimed at Donald is about his size.
One scout said he was just too small and wouldnt be able
to beat Pro OLinemen. I dont agree, but thats one criticism
thats out there.In a way, he didnt really ‘drop’ that far.
I mean 13 is not exactly the ninth circle of Hell
you know. Its still a pretty high spot.w
vI think G. Williams is set up to be coach of the year.
He’s got the personnel to have a ferocious defense.
I’ll be disappointed if they are not top five in
every category (barring injuries, of course)I pity any QB that has a third and long
against this group.I assume we are gonna see a lot
of roll-outs against the Rams this year.
Seattle and SF can do that with
their mobile QBs.w
v“…as explained by veteran referee Ed Hochuli, NFL officials are planning to emphasize defensive holding and illegal contact this season. Hochuli said that early in the year, when defensive backs haven’t yet learned how strictly the officials are going to call the penalties, the flags will fly frequently…”
The key here, is ‘early in the year’
they’ll call penalties.I’ll be surprised if it happens
in the playoffs.w
vI think he meant they will HAVE TO early in the year until players catch on and then after that they won’t have to call as many.
I didn’t take him as saying they would just stop calling it as much.
Yes, your interpretation is what he meant,
but I’m saying i bet the dont call them
in the playoffs cause thats just how pro sports iz –
Refs dont call penalties in the playoffs. They
just let’em play. They are not gonna
want a penalty-filled super-bowl game.Its not black and white though. I’m sure
they are indeed trying to nudge the game
away from the muggings by the DBs,
but still, i think for the most part
come playoff time — they’ll “let’em play”.w
v“Yeah you can see,” Rams coach Jeff Fisher said. “One thing about Kenny is that Kenny may make a mistake as far as an incorrect route here and there, but he does it going full speed.
And Brian early on in his career if he wasn’t sure, he wasn’t quite at full speed. I think Brian’s learned just to go. Good things happen when you’re running hard.”
======================Well there’s somethin ta digest.
I guess maybe thats one reason Britt was brought in.
Ta get Quick to make mistakes full-speed
instead of Quick’s usual half-speed-mistakes.Bash on regardless,

So… violence against women? Meh. Do the mea culpas, miss a little time and as long as the victim goes along to get along, then yes harm, but only minor foul.
However… use pot? BOOM! Go directly to Jail. Do not pass Go. Do not Collect $200. Mandatory sentences are in effect. Mandatory entrance into drug program.
What is equally appalling to me, is
that Baltimore FANS gave Rice
a standing ovation:I mean…what does ‘that’ mean exactly?
I’m not sure i can
even process that.Maybe i just dont understand what
is praiseworthy anymore. Maybe
we were sposed-to give Lawrence
Phillips a standing-O when
he beat up his girlfriend.

Lawrence Phillips was found guilty of attacking and choking his girlfriendEx-NFL player Phillips found guilty of assaulting girlfriend
By Dana Littlefield
Union-Tribune Staff Writer2:00 a.m. August 12, 2009
SAN DIEGO COURTS — A former professional football player accused of attacking and choking his girlfriend on two occasions in 2005 was convicted yesterday of assault and other felony charges.
A jury found Lawrence Phillips, 34, guilty of seven counts, including assault with great bodily injury, corporal injury on a spouse or roommate, false imprisonment, making a criminal threat and auto theft.
He faces a sentence of up to 25 years in prison at a San Diego Superior Court hearing scheduled for Sept. 8.
Phillips, a former NFL and University of Nebraska running back, was accused of choking his girlfriend until she lost consciousness Aug. 2, 2005, and again Aug. 13, 2005.
Deputy District Attorney Nicole Cooper said in an interview that the girlfriend testified she and Phillips were having problems before the first choking incident.
She woke up at their Mission Valley apartment and started piling Phillips’ clothes on the bedroom floor. Phillips became angry and choked the woman several times that evening, the prosecutor said.
A week and a half later, the woman and Phillips went to an apartment on Aero Drive, where he accused her of infidelity. Phillips struck the woman, causing her to fall backward into a bathtub.
They then drove to Rancho Bernardo, where Phillips apparently intended to confront the man with whom he believed his girlfriend was having an affair, according to prosecutors.
The woman ran and eventually was allowed into a nearby apartment. Police found her hiding in a bathroom, the prosecutor said.
Two of Phillips’ former girlfriends testified that he had choked them to unconsciousness on separate occasions, Cooper said. Phillips has a 2000 conviction for domestic violence from Los Angeles stemming from one of those incidents.
In October 2008, Phillips was sentenced in Los Angeles to a 10-year prison term for driving onto a field near the Los Angeles Coliseum in August 2005 and striking three boys and a 19-year-old man with his girlfriend’s car.
He had been convicted in 2006 of seven counts of assault with a deadly weapon stemming from that incident, but the sentencing was repeatedly delayed, according to previous reports.
During his football career, Phillips played for the St. Louis Rams, Miami Dolphins and San Francisco 49ers.

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
vWhere 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
