    The Rams and OL coach/run game coordinator Aaron Kromer have agreed to “mutually part ways”, according to a team spokesman.

    A source said that Kromer’s move is not for a new coaching opportunity. Son Zak will stay on in his current OQC role, per source.

    I expect an external hire to fill this role, FWIW.

    If Aaron Kromer does want to hit the job market, I donโ€™t believe he will have an issue finding one.

    #71 at center.

    Jourdan Rodrigue@JourdanRodrigue
    Have to think the Rams have interest in growth potential as a center, but Meinerz is obviously someone who provides position flex. There are going to be a lot of zooms and a lot of due diligence done this time of year so I wonโ€™t get nutty, but this is a match I like a lot.

    New details about Trump-McCarthy shouting match show Trump refused to call off the rioters

    https://www.cnn.com/2021/02/12/politics/trump-mccarthy-shouting-match-details/index.html?fbclid=IwAR0p6hfe3nbYu6zv-af4WXn8-eMGBFBVKAqswkQZpsk9dEBoqvgBNSvMPRs

    Washington (CNN)In an expletive-laced phone call with House Republican leader Kevin McCarthy while the US Capitol was under attack, then-President Donald Trump said the rioters cared more about the election results than McCarthy did.

    “Well, Kevin, I guess these people are more upset about the election than you are,” Trump said, according to lawmakers who were briefed on the call afterward by McCarthy.
    McCarthy insisted that the rioters were Trump’s supporters and begged Trump to call them off.
    Trump’s comment set off what Republican lawmakers familiar with the call described as a shouting match between the two men. A furious McCarthy told the then-President the rioters were breaking into his office through the windows, and asked Trump, “Who the f–k do you think you are talking to?” according to a Republican lawmaker familiar with the call.

    The newly revealed details of the call, described to CNN by multiple Republicans briefed on it, provide critical insight into the President’s state of mind as rioters were overrunning the Capitol. The existence of the call and some of its details were first reported by Punchbowl News and discussed publicly by McCarthy.
    The Republican members of Congress said the exchange showed Trump had no intention of calling off the rioters even as lawmakers were pleading with him to intervene. Several said it amounted to a dereliction of his presidential duty.
    “He is not a blameless observer. He was rooting for them,” a Republican member of Congress said. “On January 13, Kevin McCarthy said on the floor of the House that the President bears responsibility and he does.”
    Speaking to the President from inside the besieged Capitol, McCarthy pressed Trump to call off his supporters and engaged in a heated disagreement about who comprised the crowd. Trump’s comment about the would-be insurrectionists caring more about the election results than McCarthy did was first mentioned by Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler, a Republican from Washington state, in a town hall earlier this week, and was confirmed to CNN by Herrera Beutler and other Republicans briefed on the conversation.
    “You have to look at what he did during the insurrection to confirm where his mind was at,” Herrera Beutler, one of 10 House Republicans who voted last month to impeach Trump, told CNN. “That line right there demonstrates to me that either he didn’t care, which is impeachable, because you cannot allow an attack on your soil, or he wanted it to happen and was OK with it, which makes me so angry.”
    “We should never stand for that, for any reason, under any party flag,” she added, voicing her extreme frustration. “I’m trying really hard not to say the F-word.”
    Herrera Beutler went a step further Friday night, calling on others to speak up about any other details they might know regarding conversations Trump and then-Vice President Mike Pence had on January 6.
    “To the patriots who were standing next to the former president as these conversations were happening, or even to the former vice president: if you have something to add here, now would be the time,” she said in a statement.
    Another Republican member of Congress said the call was problematic for Trump.
    “I think it speaks to the former President’s mindset,” said Rep. Anthony Gonzalez, an Ohio Republican who also voted to impeach Trump last month. “He was not sorry to see his unyieldingly loyal vice president or the Congress under attack by the mob he inspired. In fact, it seems he was happy about it or at the least enjoyed the scenes that were horrifying to most Americans across the country.”
    As senators prepare to determine Trump’s fate, multiple Republicans thought the details of the call were important to the proceedings because they believe it paints a damning portrait of Trump’s lack of action during the attack. At least one of the sources who spoke to CNN took detailed notes of McCarthy’s recounting of the call.
    Trump and McCarthy did not respond to requests for comment.
    It took Trump several hours after the attack began to eventually encourage his supporters to “go home in peace” — a tweet that came at the urging of his top aides.
    At Trump’s impeachment trial Friday, his lawyers argued that the former President did in fact try to calm the rioters with a series of tweets while the attack unfolded. But his lawyers cherry-picked his tweets, focusing on his request for supporters to “remain peaceful” without mentioning that he also attacked Pence and waited hours to explicitly urge rioters to leave the Capitol.
    A source close to Pence said Trump’s legal team was not telling the truth when attorney Michael van der Veen said at the trial that “at no point” did the then-President know his vice president was in danger.
    Asked whether van der Veen was lying, the source said, “Yes.” Former Pence aides are still fuming over Trump’s actions on January 6, insisting he never checked on the vice president as Pence was being rushed from danger by his US Secret Service detail.
    It’s unclear to what extent these new details were known by the House Democratic impeachment managers or whether the team considered calling McCarthy as a witness. The managers have preserved the option to call witnesses in the ongoing impeachment trial, although that option remains unlikely as the trial winds down.
    The House Republican leader had been forthcoming with his conference about details of his conversations with Trump on and after January 6.
    Trump himself has not taken any responsibility in public.

    from https://theramswire.usatoday.com/2021/02/16/rams-matthew-stafford-jared-goff-trade-text/

    After the trade was announced and reported, Stafford reached out to Goff and the two texted a bit. Stafford told Goff that he appreciates him as a player and let him know that if thereโ€™s anything he needs when it comes to navigating life in Detroit, heโ€™ll help any way he can.

    โ€œI shot him a text. We texted a little bit. Just told him that I know going out there, Iโ€™ve got big shoes to fill,โ€ Stafford said on the Mitch Albom Show. โ€œItโ€™s not lost on me that he was in the Super Bowl just a few years ago, so heโ€™s a really good player in his own right. I just wanted to let him know that I appreciate him as a player and obviously, to reach out to me if there was anything he needed when it comes to Detroit โ€“ just as far as advice or places to stay, anything. I know that he feels that he can reach out to me, and I know I can reach out to him with anything in L.A. too. So itโ€™s been good.โ€
