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.

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…

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

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.

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.

February 19, 2024 at 9:51 pm in reply to: “the draft” thread … ie. not “the Rams draft” thread … #149450znModeratorVincent Bonsignore@VinnyBonsignoreThe more I study this QB draft class, the more I think it has a chance to be a Burrow/Herbert/Tua/Hurts/Love type group. The skill sets aren’t exactly the same, but the impact could end up being similar.znModeratorsaw this on reddit. apparently scheelhaase was working with mostly freshmen his first year as a coordinator.
In Scheelhaase’s only season as offensive coordinator, the Cyclones averaged 26.2 points per game — up from 20.2 in 2022 — and went 7-6 overall in 2023, 6-3 in the Big 12 Conference. Somebody here also mentioned it was with a bunch of freshmen.
from https://www.turfshowtimes.com/2024/2/19/24077782/rams-coaching-staff-nate-sheelhaase-sean-mcvay
Scheelhaase is an intriguing name. He’s just 33 years old and was most recently the offensive coordinator at Iowa State. Scheelhaase was the Cyclones’ receivers coach when now-NFC West rival QB Brock Purdy was in Ames. He spent two years as the offensive coordinator before being tapped by McVay and moving on to the professional level..Before joining the coaching ranks, Scheelhaase was a four-year starting quarterback at Illinois between 2010 and 2013. He holds the school’s record for most total offensive yards (10,364) as a dual threat threat signal caller. The former quarterback didn’t waste much time transitioning from the field to the administrative side of football, as he became the assistant direction of football operations for Illinois in May 2015. Just a few months later in August, Scheelhaase joined the coaching staff overseeing running backs. He joined Iowa State in 2018 in the same role before switching to receivers the following season.znModeratorAdam Schefter@AdamSchefter
LA Rams are hiring Iowa State offensive coordinator Nate Scheelhaase as their Pass Game Specialist.Adam Schefter@AdamSchefterThe 33-year-old Scheelhaase, who played QB at Illinois, generated interest from NFL teams in recent years, and he now makes the move to the NFL to work under Sean McVay.znModeratorAdam Schefter@AdamSchefter Another addition to the LA staff: Rams also are hiring former Falcons offensive coordinator Dave Ragone as their Quarterbacks Coach.
…
From https://www.turfshowtimes.com/2024/2/19/24077801/rams-qb-coach-dave-ragone-matthew-stafford
Ragone was Arthur Smith’s right hand man on the offensive side of the ball. The Falcons’ offense performed well under Smith and Ragone despite poor quarterback play from the likes of Desmond Ridder, Taylor Heinicke, and Marcus Mariota. Atlanta was particular effective in the ground game even before they used a top 10 selection on running back Bijan Robinson, and maximized production from Cordarrelle Patterson and Tyler Allgeier.
Ragone has been an assistant coach at the professional level since 2011 when he joined the Tennessee Titans as wide receivers coach. He was promoted to quarterbacks coach in 2013. After bouncing around for a few seasons, he joined the Chicago Bears under head coach John Fox again as the QB’s coach between 2016-2019. It was telling that Matt Nagy kept him around on his staff when Fox was fired after a single season. Ragone became the passing game coordinator in 2020 when the team selected Justin Fields in the first round. He joined the Falcons with Smith the following season after Nagy was fired mid-year.
LA’s new coach should not be a total stranger to the franchise, as he was part of the organization as a quarterback in 2006 after being drafted by the Houston Texas in the third round of the 2003 NFL Draft. Ragone played in NFL Europe’s 2005 season and earned offensive MVP honors while leading the Berlin Thunder to a World Bowl championship. His NFL career ended after being waived by the St. Louis Rams prior to the 2006 season.
