    Re. video of Matthew Stafford on IG with left arm/wrist in a brace (non-throwing), he got an anti-inflammatory shot in his elbow and the intent of the brace is to limit range of motion while the shot does its thing, sources said.

    Oh this is great. Les Snead says the Rams draft group has a “Bobby Wagner Rule” after overthinking where he would drop over a decade ago and missing him (and then seeing him in the division for “too many years”). Essentially: Don’t worry about where player *should* fall if you

    John Randle played for 14 seasons. Sapp played for 13 seasons. Alan Page played for 15 seasons. Steve McMichael, the great DT on the old 85 Chicago defense, played for 15 seasons. Randy White played for 14 seasons.

    2022 will be Donald’s 9th season. So 4 or 5 more years sounds possible.

    My understanding of Wagner contract: Essentially two years, $17.5 million ($6.5 million cash in year one) with $10 million in total guarantees and up to $23.5 million in various incentives; both parties may mutually renegotiate after 1st two years of “functional” contract.

    One more note: The #Ravens offered Bobby Wagner a deal paying him $18M over 2, more than the #Rams $17.5M over 2. But LA offered higher incentives and he wanted to stay home in LA, anyway (though the #Ravens impressed him). So Wagner chose the Rams.

    Rams GM Les Snead said he sat with head coach Sean McVay, defensive coordinator Raheem Morris and the rest of the defensive staff to figure out schematically how they could use both Ernest Jones and Bobby Wagner.

    We know Stafford throws picks, but i wonder why the 4th quarter is usually different?

    I don’t think anyone really knows yet. Some people just focus when the game’s on the line. But this is unusual. We have seen clutch qb play before but who throws a no-look pass in the final, “must win now” drive of a superbowl?

    We do have a long great history of great clutch wins. Warner to Proehl then Warner to Bruce. Bulger had a few comeback wins (at one point he had the highest percentage of wins in that situation of any qb). Goff in New Orleans. Stafford had 3 in a row culminating in the super bowl.

    from NFL 2022 QB Gravitron: What advanced metrics say about Joe Burrow, Justin Herbert, Patrick Mahomes and others

    https://theathletic.com/3204802/2022/04/01/nfl-2022-qb-gravitron-what-advanced-metrics-say-about-justin-herbert-patrick-mahomes-joe-burrow-others/?source=weeklyemail&campaign=602288

    Rams

    Forget any of the numbers — Stafford will live in Rams royalty. That said, the numbers were pretty good in 2021. Stafford’s 0.17 EPA ranked third in 2021 behind only Rodgers and Mahomes. But Stafford did throw 17 interceptions last season, which pushed his 2021 IQR down to 102.3, his lowest in the last three seasons. The Rams are in great shape with Stafford, though.

    he addresses the greatest Rams defensive weakness, one we’ve seen for a couple of years and which is always demoralizing to watch when it happens. The run D and exploitation of short passing to the middle. With Wagner (on paper anyway) we will see fewer long drives against the Rams. You know how those look…demoralizing, frustrating drives that last all day. Wagner fixes that.

    == Do we have to go all the way back to London Fletcher to find a Ram Middle Linebacker that brings what BW does? w v

    Probably. But I think BW has more than Fletcher did, and I liked Fletcher a lot.

    I would have preferred Clowney to Wagner.

    if i had my choice, ida preferred the rams bring miller back.

    I think you guys are underestimating what Wagner does for the defense. I personally like the unstoppable pass rush style of D, but I don’t dismiss what Wagner adds.

    Losing Von Miller is significant, of course.   I dont think you replace a Von Miller.

    Losing Miller means losing one kind of top defense. Getting Wagner means getting a different kind of top defense.

    To be honest, if it were all up to me, I would prefer the Miller type of top defense. Impossible to block in the passing game.

    But I do acknowledge that the Wagner type of top defense is a good thing in its own right too. Hard to sustain long drives against it.

    Frank Gore tells @TheSFNiners_ podcast that he will be signing a one-day contract with the 49ers and will retire from the NFL. He finishes his career with the 3rd most rushing yards in NFL history (16,000).

    someone at the herd said that this draft was deep at defensive back and edge rusher.

    I just posted 3 articles about the deepest positions in this draft. They’re here, dated today (last 3 in the thread): https://theramshuddle.com/topic/draft-talk-in-april/?view=all#post-138025

    .

    This year’s draft, like all others, has positions that are incredibly deep and have top-end talent. It also has positions that are lacking one or both of those things.

    In the first weeks of February, I went through all 11 position groups and ranked them all. I introduced the top-five players at every position and when they might be taken in this year’s draft.

    My positional rankings are based on a combination of the best players at each position and how deep the group is.
    This post will be updated throughout the series with links to our positional rankings.

    No. 11: Running back
    No. 10: Tight end
    No. 8: Safety
    No. 6: Linebacker
    No. 4: Cornerback
