wvParticipantWho is the Asian actor with long hair and a mustache that always showed up in action movies from the 1980s and 1990s in speaking and non-speaking roles?.by Ken Miyamoto.You’re talking about the man, the myth, the legend — Al Leong.

That was cool. I think we all remember him.

wvParticipantOurlads… can run routes and catch the ball like a receiver, he can be fully trusted as a blocker, and he can create as a rusher in space. The team-first, tougher- than-nails attitude and play style will be highly sought after by coaches if they have much say in the draft room. He is a safe pro…
…A rusher, pass catcher, and returner…
…Elite in and out quickness…
….Anticipates and reacts to tacklers as if the game were being played in slow motion. Has a rare level of suddenness to him with the ball in his hands. Patient and crafty, will create on his own…
, lacks the final gear to run away….

Sounds like a version of Cooper Kupp to me.

wvParticipantHow do you replace a Hall of Famer like Vonn Miller? Get better in the secondary and LB units, i guess. I dunno.
As has been said before, a defense with Von Miller is different from a defense with Wagner. A defense with Wagner and a stocked secondary means less of what we didn’t like last year–those endless long drives by opposing offenses milking the short pass up the middle. (This is admittedly an impression and not the result of dedicated film study.) If that is your defensive strength instead of weakness, you can also script in blitzes, stunts, and tailored 3rd down packages designed to isolate specific guys. Last year the Rams were just 15th in Yards Per Passing Attempt Allowed, 13th in First Downs Allowed Per Game, 14th in Completion Percentage Allowed, and 20th in Opponent Time of Possession Percentage. Just a little improvement in those areas and its a good defense but in a different way. I want to see more punts from the other team (Rams were 15th in opposing teams punting.) Anyway I wonder if Morris’s thing is turnovers more than sacks. It may not go the way I’m saying but it could.
==
In my mind, this next season will show us a lot about Morris. I know he did well last year, but if you have Vonn, Jalen and AD, I expect any DC would do well. Vonn and AD on the same line is just nutz.
But this year, will require something different. More…oh, i dunno the word…more ‘tactical’ or somethin.
Anyway, it will be inter estin.
Last time the Rams had a chance to repeat, the defense was atrocious
as i recall. It was like they all gave 17 percent of 110 percent.

wvParticipantI dont have a take, since I dont know anything about any of them,
but how can we not trust mcSnead at this point?
Other than the tutu-debacle, they’ve been as good as it gets
in the NFL.
Looking forward to seeing these kids play.

wvParticipantCesar @ClappedCesarLooking back, the Rams losing to the 49ers in week 18 was probably one of the best things to happen to them. Humbled them before the final stretch of games where they couldn’t afford to lose.=======
I agree but i dont think it humbled them at all.
I think it angered them.

wvParticipantThe Brian Allen thing is something I wish fans would pay more attention to.
So many times we ‘think’ a player has ‘regressed’ or ‘sucks’ etc,
and then we come to find out about an injury.
We dont always know wtf the situation is.
Granted, when in doubt, the best approach is to stick with the mantra:
“Fire the Offensive Co-ordinater!”

People often assume that capitalism is defined by "markets and trade". But markets and trade existed for thousands of years before capitalism. Capitalism is only 500 years old. So what is distinctive about this economic system? Three things (well, more, but three for now):

I dont understand why that is so hard to grasp.

The difference between McSnead and Jerry Jones is startling.
Doesnt seem like Dallas is doing anything. And given the season
they had, that seems strange to me.
But who knows.
If Dallas crashes and burns after doing nothing, its gonna be ugly
in Texas though.

wvParticipantThat last vid, there’s a play I still remember fondly. I still get all amused and admiring when I see it again–after Howard intercepted the pass to end the game, it is Gaines that tackled him. Great quick last second decision by Gaines. With Howard down nothing can happen to the ball and the Rams maintain possession.
===
Yeah, that was a Faulk-like play by Gaines. Football-Awareness.
And i have zero doubt McVay will use that Gaines play as a teaching vid.

I keep going back to that Scott hit on Deebo. That play is just unreal in today’s NFL. You do NOT see a hit that HARD that is still viewed as totally clean.
It was the perfect NFL Defensive hit. You cannot do it any harder or any better. Its the essence of…somethin.
I watch it and rewatch in slow-motion and every single time, I think to myself “where is the flag?” — because my brain just cant accept that THAT kind of hitting is STILL legal in the NFL. But then when you look at it, its…just…perfect.
Who woulda thought Mr Scott would come up with the best Ram hit of the year…decade…century?
Thats a body-bag hit.

wvParticipantLondon Fletcher still feels the pain of that Super Bowl loss to Belichick.
Reminds me of how John Madden used to talk about the Immaculate
Reception loss. Some losses, some players/coaches/fans just do Not Ever get over.
I think it often has something to do with the fact that the Best Team doesnt always PLAY like the best team. The Rams probly were a little better than the Pats. They probly woulda won a ‘best of 7’ series with the Pats.
Probly. (And i know how good the Pats were. They were good. They were the Pats)
The Pats outplayed them, and out-toughed-them and out-coached them,
on THAT one day. But were the Pats ‘the better team’ ? Nah. I dont think so.
And that makes the pain of the loss worse, I think. When the best team wins, I think the loss is more acceptable.

wvParticipantThe weirdest Rams memorabilia I have is something I found at a flea market… Rams Nesting Dolls. The irony is that Marshall Faulk is the largest (the one that contains all the other dolls) and Orlando Pace is the smallest. In order it goes Faulk, Bulger, Holt, Bruce and Pace.

I cant believe you just let the zooey thing slide, though.
I mean, he’s literally got a ‘Rams trash can’.
Thats one step from having a Rams toilet.
