wvParticipantJust for fun, I offer a slight and doubtless pedantic correction. An unnecessarily expensive statue would be a trope from dyspotian fiction. In post-apocalyptic, they can’t afford expensive statues. Or any statues.
Well, i get those two periods confused. What was the 2008 St.Louis Rams Oline — was that dystopian or post-apocalyptic?
w
vwvParticipantHendrickson signs with Ravens, apparently. O my.
w
vwvParticipantJeezus H cHrIsT. 100 million for a stature of a football player??
This country is like a bad post-apocalypse-novel.
I would prefer to see a bunch of Kurt’s favorite sunday-school kids make a life-size, day-glo, multi-color, playdough model of him. Seriously.
w
vwvParticipantThat’s bananas. How does this potentially impact their cap and all the FA that they intend to sign starting tomorrow. Are they going to be desperate to offload him?
Too bad the Raiders and Ravens dont play this year. Woulda been fun 🙂
w
vwvParticipantwell. if on the field, the rams defense doesn’t live up to expectations, that would reflect very poorly on shula. there’d be no one else to point the finger this time.
maybe the rams could get another linebacker. maybe some dline depth, but they’ve done about as much as you can do. it’s up to shula to make this work.
Seems like the front-4 tailed off as the season went along. Other than the Bear game, it seemed like they were not the wrecking-ball they had been early in the year.
Maybe it was just nagging injuries. But i dunno.
w
vwvParticipantI remember the Roger Saffold thing. I cant think of a way the NFL can eliminate this kind of situation. If a player is coming off surgery its just a risk thats gonna be there until the medical eval is completed.
I dont wanna see Hendrickson or Crosby in the NFC. Thats what matters here.

vwvParticipantRodrigue, Rosenthal on Mad MaXX

wvParticipantYeah, Crosby is still a Raider. Wonder if the Rams would spend their 13 pick for Maxx Crosby?
w
vwvParticipantcurl will be in his age 27 season. lake in his age 27 season. kinchens will be 24. mcduffie 26 and watson 28. a young secondary that should be at or are around their prime years.
On paper this is the best defense they’ve had in quite some time. On paper.
w
vwvParticipantDid Maxx Crosby fail his physical with the Ravens? I’m seeing blurbs online about that, but i dunno whether its rumors or what.
w
vwvParticipantRodrigue, Rosenthal on the Rams moves…they do the Rams at 1:21:52 in.
wvParticipantSeems like the Rams are gonna start losing DLinemen to free agency pretty soon. Maybe they go with a DLineman at 13 ?
w
vwvParticipantwvParticipantI used “THEY” because I am not sure how ChatGPT identifies, and I was trying to play it safe.
Well, you could have just asked her:
“As an AI, I do not have a gender, gender identity, or personal pronouns. However, I am generally referred to in the singular “it” or “they” (as a gender-neutral singular) by users, as I am a digital assistant rather than a person.
Gender-Neutrality: As a machine learning model, I do not possess gender identity, making “they/them” or “it” appropriate neutral terms for me.
“They” as a Pronoun: In language, “they” is commonly used as a singular pronoun for individuals whose gender is unknown, or for entities that do not conform to traditional gender binaries.
Would you like to know more about how I can adapt my persona to be more helpful in our conversations? “

“…On May 2, 2015, the New England Patriots selected Cardona in the fifth round (166th overall) of the 2015 NFL draft,[7] making him the fourth pure long snapper to be drafted in NFL history (and the second drafted by the Patriots, after Jake Ingram).[8]
…He was a contributor to the Patriots as they defeated the Atlanta Falcons by a score of 34–28 in overtime.[14][15] Cardona had an active role in the game on seven special teams plays.
..On March 21, 2023, Cardona re-signed with the Patriots on another four-year contract extension worth $6.3 million, making him the highest-paid long snapper.[21]
September 2, 2024, Cardona was announced, for the first time in his career, as a team captain for the Patriots
wvParticipantHey, now. The Saints just signed Travis Etienne, and the Chiefs already got Kenneth Walker.
Who the hell is going to draft Jeremiyah Love?
Titans or Commanders it looks like.
w
vwvParticipantPurdy,
Juszczyk,
McCaffrey,
Kittle,
Jennings,
Mike Evans.Not bad.
w
vwvParticipantUSA today Mock after the McDuffie signing:
…12. Dallas Cowboys – Mansoor Delane, CB, LSU
If Delane is still available when Dallas first comes on the clock, there shouldn’t be too much of a debate within the Cowboys’ draft room. The consensus All-American has developed a mastery of man coverage, which would open up plenty of possibilities for new defensive coordinator Christian Parker to mix and match his scheme to his available talent.
13. Los Angeles Rams (from Atlanta Falcons) – Kenyon Sadiq, TE, Oregon
Dealing for McDuffie reinforces that the Rams are all in on maximizing NFL MVP Matthew Stafford’s remaining window. Taking Sadiq, a matchup nightmare still requiring some polish, might not seem fully aligned with that mentality. But Sean McVay and Les Snead were previously enamored a hybrid tight end in Brock Bowers, and Sadiq could feast in an offense that came to embrace using three tight ends.
wvParticipantThis draft is like the opposite of 2000, where they knew they had a contender and then blew all their picks.
The only thing I know in advance I would not like is taking Ty Simpson at 13.Ah yes. 2000. The Worst Player Available strategy.
w
vwvParticipantOld age. Yup.
wvParticipantToo much St Augustine.
wvParticipantMina: “Oh Wow!”
wvParticipantwvParticipantSo, now they draft a CB with the 13th pick, right?
w
vwvParticipantChiefs lost their safety Bryan Cook to the Bengals.
Apparently, the Chiefs are just gonna play Defensive Linemen and Linebackers. Spags is tricky that way.
w
vwvParticipant49ers get Mike Evans.
w
vwvParticipantSam Monson@SamMonsonNFL
The Rams now basically have 1) no holes on the roster, 2) draft capital to play with and 3) a history of trying to trade UP for players in the last couple of drafts.—
Yeah, it would not surprise me at all to see them trade up, now.
w
vwvParticipantSeattle also loses a starting Safety/CB. Coby Bryant signs with Bears.
w
vwvParticipantNice to see the Seahawks lose Ken Walker Jr, to the Chiefs.
Charbonnet had the ACL tear, so he might not be ready to go at the start of the season.w
