wvParticipantSigh. To lose Donald and Ernest Jones. I dunno.
Could be a good year, barring injury. Maybe even challenge for the division. But this does not seem like a Super Bowl year, does it.
Defense in the ring year had, what?, Aaron Donald, Von Miller, Jalen Ramsey…
This year….?

wvParticipantI saw, Phil Donahue died this month. I learned a lot from his old show, long ago.
wvParticipantStetson Bennett is not an NFL QB.
I would take Tim Tebow and Jesus over Stetson.

wvParticipantFrom the vid — …with all the talent, (Kittle, Purdy, Shannahan, Deebo, Aiyuk, etc) the 49ers had, they went 0 and 3 without Trent Williams. 12 and 2 with him. With him they scored 32 points a game. Without him 17 points a game.
Both Kimes and her guest agreed Williams had a serious claim to being the NFL MVP.

wvParticipantAccording to the Mina Kimes vid, (at the 49 minute mark) the Cardinals running game (in the second half of the season) was “first in EPA per play, running the ball, more than twice as efficient as the 49ers”
Now. Someone explain wtf ‘epa’ means in regard to the running game.
Also, after watching the vid, I am a little worried that the Seahawks have hired themselves a shannhan-type genius. Only on defense.
Interesting division.

wvParticipantdunno if this has been posted. Mina Kimes starts the show on the Rams.
wvParticipantaaron donald. much more valuable. especially in today’s game. i’d take him over any other position other than qb.
I see I have ferreted-out a couple of Donald-Sniffers. Donald-ites.
Aaron Donald was a figurehead.
Seriously, I’m surprised you and zn are so decisive about this. I could go either way.

wvParticipantI’ve seen enough of Mr Bennett. If I’m a defensive coordinator, I LOVE facing Stetson. They can do better. w v
It’s simply a matter of coaching. They just sit him down and say okay Stetson, stop throwing interceptions…fair enough big guy? Voila. Problem solved. You’ve never really learned how to appreciate coaching.
Has McVay ever ‘developed’ a rookie QB ? I guess he constructed Goff, but he also deconstructed Goff.
Maybe its just hard to find good rookie QB projects in the lower rounds. They seem to do pretty well with the other positions.

They can do better.

wvParticipantI dont think ive watched that entire vid before. I dont remember hearing Faulk say he half-assed the block on Rodney Harrison. The one that got Trent Green hurt. Faulk said it was preseason so he didnt really put his all into the block. Bout the 25 min mark.
w

wvParticipantMina Kimes. She’s Seattle’s version of Jourdan Rodrigue. Really does her homework. ENJOYS doing her homework. Two of the best ‘ever’ imho.

wvParticipantSaw a youtube vid that said Ay-ook is probly gonna be a Steeler.

wvParticipantwvParticipantfarr and jb long said the same thing. barring injury i don’t see how the offense can go wrong. barring injury. i don’t have a clue about the defense though.
Yeah, football predictions are always so difficult. For the obvious reason.
Cooper Kupp should have a great year,Barring Injury.
Stafford should have a great year, Barring Injury.
The OLine looks to be the best since 99, Barring Injury.
The veteran secondary looks crafty, wily, solid, Barring Injury….

wvParticipantRams defense was about 20th in Rushing yards allowed, and Passing yards allowed last year.
If Chris Shula is successful he has a chance to say the Rams D finished better AFTER they lost Aaron Donald. Could lead to big things for Shula.
Then again the defense might implode without AD. We shall see.

wvParticipant“…Caley, 41, is now in his second season with the Rams after a long stint in New England. He also turned down an offer to become the Patriots’ offensive coordinator this spring, team and league sources said, in part because of the group of players he coaches in L.A…”
==
That cant be right. The Rams TE coach turned down an OC job to remain a TE coach?
Granted, the Patriots offense may be the worst in history.

wvParticipantI always have two reactions to the ‘it was dark…etc’ stuff in those kinds of contexts.
On the one hand, I think to myself, ‘well thats insightful on his part, he’s being honest and working on himself, and it helps others for him to admit things, etc etc etc’.
On the other hand — the wv-raging-leftist-hand, i think to myself…’well, he’s a white, male, multi-millionaire, privileged mega-star, whining about first-world-problems, while people in other places are being bombed and starved and mutilated….so, maybe his problem is not really so ‘dark’. Etc. And so forth. Buzzkill, i know.
w
v
wvParticipantyeah. for me special teams and turnovers need to improve.
If turnover rates improve AFTER Aaron Donald retired — well…that would be somethin.
w
v
wvParticipantAre there no ‘swing voters’ anymore?
wvParticipantI would ‘think’ high-football-character and self-motivation matter more than ever now, what with the shortened training sessions etc.
You almost ‘have’ to have guys that WANT to stay in shape and study film etc, etc.

wvParticipantOne of my top question marks this year is Chris Shula, btw. I have no inkling where he will rank as a ram DC. Should be interesting.
Guess who had the best winning percentage of these DCs ? Check the link.
Raheem, Staley, Wade Philips, Greg Williams, Tim Walton, Blake Williams, Ken Flajole, Jim Haslett, Larrie Marmie, Lovie Smith, Peter Giunta, Bud Carson, Willie Shaw, Fritz Shurmur, Herb Patera

wvParticipantI love the fact the Oline is not a question mark this year. Seems like most years, for most teams Oline is a question mark.
Solid Oline line. Good RBs. Good WRs. Stafford. If Tight Ends come through, it should be a playoff level offense.
Dunno if they have the overall firepower of the 49ers or Lions though.

July 12, 2024 at 2:16 pm in reply to: Stafford. You know, that Mark Stafford guy, the quarterback #151389wvParticipantI keep waiting for the national media to wake up to the fact that there is a very strong argument, Stafford is the best QB in the NFC and maybe the second best in the entire NFL.
I mean Mahomes is Mahomes. But after that…I dunno. Ya got the usual four or five AFC QBs always mentioned. But Stafford didnt just get a Ring two years ago, he LEAD the Rams to a ring. Outdueled Brady, and Burrow, and came back against the 49ers.
I will never understand some of these rankings.
w
v
wvParticipantI dunno. He doesn’t seem particularly forthcoming about it. Seems pretty vague to me.
I guess he doesn’t owe the public a dave chappelle type explanation of his breakdown or whatever it was. But i hope the kid has insight inside his OWN head on what happened and what he needs to do now.
….course I’m still tryin to figure out what Ferragamo’s issue was.

wvParticipantCorbyn got more votes for Labor Party than centrist Starmer did this time around. Greenwald thinks evidence shows most Brit voters are disgusted with both mainstream parties.
wvParticipant“confusion WITH confidence is even more troubling”
wvParticipantwvParticipantMarshall Faulk@marshallfaulkKnowledge relaxes me.
Knowledge… gives me that blank, thousand-mile-stare, as i recognize capitalism’s destruction of the biosphere, and the universe’s expansion into nothingness.

wvParticipantHelmets. Tier one – Rams.
Tier two — Cowboys, Chargers, Packers
Tier three — Steelers, 49ers, Saints, Bears, Eagles, Browns.
Tier four — all the rest, except the Bengals.
Tier 42 – Bengals.
