znModeratorThat’s just unacceptable and reflects a lack of commitment and work ethic.
Well yeah, that’s the problem. I mean I’m not racist or anything, but…Samoans. You know. Too laid back. No ambition.
So even when he did break tackles, it was just to run into the next one.
In every single respect, the opposite of Atwell.
znModeratoran improved Puka Nacua (is that even possible?).
Well he did lead the league in drops. And I saw break downs of his play where analysts pointed out that he wasn’t an accomplished route runner in 23 (he often telegraphed routes and would slow down going into hard cuts). So yes you would think he could improve if he works on things in the off-season and in camp.
znModeratorRAMZILLA@elitsterRemember, Demarcus Robinson didn’t have a full offseason with Stafford, McVay in 23’. He was fighting for a roster spot after being signed June 12. Quickly became apparent he was a huge upgrade over the WR traded to ATL. What can he do in this offense with a full offseason of work?znModeratorRanking all 32 NFL Head Coaches:

znModeratorMike Garafolo@MikeGarafoloMentioned the effect of the salary cap bump on free agency but it extends beyond that to extensions this offseason for the likes of Trevor Lawrence, Tua Tagovailoa, Justin Jefferson, Ja’Marr Chase, etc. Their agents’ expectations surely just went up, oh I don’t know, about 13%.…Me: in other words, when the cap goes up, so do free agency contract numbers.znModeratorRestricted free agent tender numbers are also now set for 2024: pic.twitter.com/ne5eoyMh8c

znModeratorBlaine Grisak@bgrisakTSTAmong players with at least 35 targets last season, DeMarcus Robinson ranked 10th with a passer rating of 120.8 when targeted. Stafford—>Robinson had the 8th highest success rate in 2023. Led all Rams WRs in ESPN Open Score.znModeratorGood move! Robinson averaged 60 yards per game over the last 6 contests, including 4 TDs. Many of his catches came in clutch moments.
In the Rams playoff push, Stafford clearly gained a lot of trust in the veteran receiver. Glad to see DRob back for the next championship run! https://t.co/58yCUhoIJ8 pic.twitter.com/4BJ8CCfmAg

With the increase, according to OverTheCap, the Rams are set to have $41.3M in effective cap space heading into free agency. This is before any contract restructures or other potential cap casualties. Los Angeles should have plenty of money to spend during free agency and replenish talent on their roster.
znModeratorGary Klein@LATimeskleinThe Rams will “connect with” QB Stetson Bennett “at the appropriate time,” Sean McVay said. “And you figure out, ‘All right, where are you at?’ And is this something we feel like is best for him and our football team to bring him back into this ecosystem.”znModeratorAri Meirov@MySportsUpdateBREAKING: The NFL informed teams today that the 2024 salary cap will be $255.4M, per @jjones9. That’s a huge $30.6M increase from last year.…Me: that should give the Rams about 42 M.February 23, 2024 at 12:07 pm in reply to: “the draft” thread … ie. not “the Rams draft” thread … #149502znModeratorThis is the most accurate take on evaluating quarterbacks nowadays (including the Stroud play his rookie season) that you will read.
A HUGE chunk of Caleb's throws come off-schedule, a huge chunk of many passing concepts are not translatable. Projections are MUCH tougher now. https://t.co/Z29sei8AoU

That’s who I’m watching now also… and Williams, so talented, concepts get no one open, OL bad so running for his life, then when things are open he plays too fast or doesn’t see things, so how do you evaluate? Do you just say “gifted thrower” & hope it all translates when things…

znModeratorStafford had one of his best seasons of his career in 2023 https://t.co/TadTJWNGEf
— HoldenCantor (@HoldenCantor) February 23, 2024
…
his last 7 games stack up as one of the best stretches. That’s when Kyren came back and they finally started running the ball. Once that happened his TD to int ratio skyrocketed. Don’t forget that prior to that he was 9tds and 8ints. Give Stafford a dominant run game & watch out

Feb 20Mock Draft 2.0
https://www.nfl.com/news/daniel-jeremiah-2024-nfl-mock-draft-2-0-four-quarterbacks-selected-in-first-eight-picksLos Angeles Rams: Jackson Powers-Johnson
Oregon · IOL · JuniorThe Rams get one of the steadiest players in the draft. Powers-Johnson can anchor their offensive line for the next decade.
znModeratorBlaine Grisak@bgrisakTSTCutting Brian Allen had to happen for Rams to move forward this offseason. Still tough to see a player get cut. Allen was the Rams starting center on the Super Bowl team. Example of a business decision. Rams get thinner on the OL..Jourdan Rodrigue@JourdanRodrigueThe Rams released veteran center Brian Allen, the team announced. An early cut gives a player a little bit of a head start to land elsewhere. The Rams incur $3.15M in dead money by doing so, but do save $4.9M against the 2024 cap.znModeratorAh. Thanks zn.
On this board, tweets act like spoiled older siblings. They always have to go first.
znModeratorNittany. The trick in posting a tweet is that for some unknown reason if you put writing in a post with the tweet, you end up with just a url. The trick is to post the tweet then add the writing afterwards via edit. That’s what I do here.
Thank you, Brian Allen. 💙 pic.twitter.com/8fJgndQCxf

znModeratorFine, but I’ll remind you that land-damning is a time-honored tradition on Rams boards, going all the way back to The Herd.
We go back to the PD board, right? I started in 98. So that’s what, 60 years?
znModeratorIf memory serves they won a few games in those uniforms.
Remember the rules–no figurative lynchings on the Huddle board. For us, lynchings have to be literal. Unfortunately that would usually mean driving long distances to accomplish it.
So we’ll try peace and reconciliation instead. It’s more convenient.
To that end:

I was told by a couple team and league people that he was an important retention by Sean McVay.

znModeratorMahomes and the Chiefs changed the way defenses played (focus on taking away explosives) then he had to adjust by throwing shorter. Then KC traded away Hill and leaned into quick passing and heavier personnel sets. https://t.co/PZdsW4IryI

znModeratorfrom https://www.turfshowtimes.com/2024/2/20/24078430/rams-salary-cap-space-2024-free-agents
Rumors emerged on Monday that the salary cap could be $243 million, but PFT’s Mike Florio reported that a source said the number will be much higher and could be $250 million. That would mean that L.A. doesn’t have roughly $28 million in cap space; they have more like $36 million.
znModeratorAdditins, huh?
I noticed the Rams created a new coaching position – Defensive Coordonator.
I don’t know why you guys are being so padentic. I prefer the unpretenshus instinkts of the true football fan. Someone who just gets how a new coordonator is a valuable new additin. To them the whole idea would be perfektly cleer.
