yep, I love this article too.
I think the Rams were one of the teams to pick Jimbo’s brain and even purchase this system..not sure tho.
Either way, the outcome on soft tissue injuries is a game-changer for the NFL. Period.
It’s HUGE!!!! If the NFL teams could somehow decrease “soft tissue” injuries…greatly…..
the games will be better because all the best players will be playing and not hurt on the bench!!!

You got a great eye today for these articles….good job, bro!!!

No Way. I’m sick of mediocrity. SICK of IT. It needs to be at least 10.

Maybe they can put that on the cover of the Media Guide:
“Rams Football — Probably no longer Mediocre”

11 sounds much more dramatic.

But, if it’s 9, that’s what it is. 9 would likely mean playoffs with the extra wildcard. Are they doing that this season?

Tough schedule and a tough division. Lots of large livers in the NFC West these days. 9 wins could be a huge step up for a young and coming bunch of Rams.

Glad you made it to the board,
SD.

Nice avatar. That cant be south dakota.

If the Rams have the 4th best Oline in the league then we will 11 games. It’s a pretty big if…

laconism is a figure of speech in which someone uses very few words to express an idea, in keeping with the Spartan reputation for verbal austerity.

Examples
Spartan
Lycurgus
A witticism attributed to Lycurgus, the legendary lawgiver of Sparta, was a response to a proposal to set up a democracy there: “Begin with your own family.”[8]

When he was consulted on how Spartans might best forestall invasion of their homeland, Lycurgus advised, “By remaining poor, and each man not desiring to possess more than his fellow.”[8]

When asked whether it would be prudent to build a defensive wall enclosing the city, Lycurgus answered, “A city is well-fortified which has a wall of men instead of brick.”[8]

When Leonidas was in charge of guarding the narrow mountain pass at Thermopylae with just 7,000 Greek men in order to delay the invading Persian army, Xerxes offered to spare his men if they gave up their arms. Leonidas replied “Molon labe” (Greek: Μολών λαβέ), which translates to “Come and take them”.[11] It was the motto of the Greek 1st Army Corps.

Herodotus recounted another incident that preceded the Battle of Thermopylae. The Spartan Dienekes was told that the Persian archers were so numerous that when they shot their volleys, their arrows would blot out the sun. He responded with “So much the better, we’ll fight in the shade”.[13] Today Dienekes’s phrase is the motto of the Greek 20th Armored Division.

When asked by a woman from Attica, “Why are you Spartan women the only ones who can rule men?”, Gorgo replied, “Because we are also the only ones who give birth to men.”[8]

In an account from Herodotus, “When the banished Samians reached Sparta, they had audience of the magistrates, before whom they made a long speech, as was natural with persons greatly in want of aid. Accordingly at this first sitting the Spartans answered them that they had forgotten the first half of their speech, and could make nothing of the remainder. Afterwards the Samians had another audience, whereat they simply said, showing a bag which they had brought with them, ‘The bag wants flour.’ The Spartans answered that they did not need to have said ‘the bag’; however, they resolved to give them aid.”[16]

After invading Greece and receiving the submission of other key city-states, Philip II of Macedon sent a message to Sparta: “If I win this war, you will be slaves forever.” In another version, he warned: “You are advised to submit without further delay, for if I bring my army into your land, I will destroy your farms, slay your people, and raze your city.” According to both accounts, the Spartan ephors replied with one word: “If” (αἴκα).[18]
