If they see him as a nickle…that’s actually good news. That means they are confident in Rochell as CB2. Very confident.

Yeah it might be a bit much.
I think you have to look at how he played last season. If he played well his performance shouldn’t drop off that much the following season. Some CBs continue to play at a high level well into their 30s – Aeneas Williams, Robert Sherman, etc.
And who can forget Robert Sherman’s work on Mary Poppins when he was almost 40.
ZooeyModeratorYou know what’s funny?
I mean, first class comedy?
Seattle cut Bobby Wagner for cap reasons, and the Rams – Reigning Super Bowl Champs – signed him.
That’s hilarious.
ZooeyModeratorJ𝒾𝓂 𝐸𝓋𝑒𝓇𝑒𝓉𝓉@Jim_EverettLBs Wagner & Jones in the middle? The @RamsNFL just significantly changed their defensive strategy. #MiddlePressures #RunStoppers #PowerAndSpeed….me: Both Miller and Wagner are great veteran leaders who won super bowls before the Rams, but beyond that they’re obviously very different animals. Miller has a great outside rush & BW has great instincts as an inside run defender & is good in coverage..IMO the defense is 2 different things w/ 1 or the other.If it means anything at all, it means that the Rams take the 49ers seriously.
And the Titans. Etc.
ZooeyModeratorI’d rather have Miller than Wagner, too. I would have preferred Clowney to Wagner. Jones looks like an emerging stud in the middle in his own right, and right now, the Rams are counting on Justin Hollins to bring heat, and maybe he will, but that seems like a long shot.
Trade some 2027 picks for Robert Quinn.

ZooeyModeratorWell, Snyder is one of the piggiest of all the pigs, so let me just say, “Adios.”
ZooeyModeratoryeah. i agree. and if they can find a legit stud pass rusher (easy of course right? haha), this defense would be spectacular. like all-time i’m thinking… if they can find a legit stud pass rusher to pair with donald.
I also agree with everything that has been said here.
I will add that Wagner/Jones is turns the Rams defensive weakness into a significant strength. And while a legit stud pass rusher would make this defense spectacular, I don’t think they “need” one to be a top tier defense. A decent guy will probably do.
I think their biggest need now is CB and secondary depth.
ZooeyModeratorPart of that comes from the fact that ESPN has studios in LA. Eisen and Cowherd (by far their two best yakkers, imo) live and work in Los Angeles. They are going to know more about the Rams than they know about the Titans, especially the off-the-field stuff.
And of course the NFL wants the Rams to succeed in Los Angeles. This goes back to whatever I said about Kroenke’s vision right after the Super Bowl. The NFL decided to ride Kroenke’s vision back into LA. That was exceedingly clear when they were determining which team was going to go to LA. That was never not going to be the Rams. Kroenke had the developer experience, the property, and the pockets to do this. He built an incredible entertainment facility that includes not only a spectacular stadium, but studios for the NFL pregame stuff, and I think he had plans for a Hall of Fame West Coast Edition. There is a big theatre there for hosting events like the Oscars, etc. as well. He didn’t just offer the NFL a fancy stadium. He offered the NFL a glamorous complex, the kind of sexy that Los Angeles is known for. LA doesn’t even know what it has yet, in the Rams, but they will in time.
So, yeah, the NFL has a stake in the outcome of all this, and Kroenke deserves credit for hiring the right people to bring a championship to LA. Not only has he done that – and done it spectacularly with stars, the Rams are now threatening to emerge as the model franchise for the league. Both the Cowboys and Patriots should be looking in their rear view mirrors. The Rams are a threat to become the most valuable team in sports, imo. They have arguable already changed the team building model. Eisen and Cowherd recognize the Rams for what they are, even if the rest of the country is slow to catch on. These guys are not duped into believing the Rams “bought” a championship, a concept that doesn’t even make sense in the NFL which has a hard salary cap. They see bold, decisive moves that have worked, and they give credit where credit is due.
ZooeyModeratorZooeyModeratorMatthew not Matt.
But otherwise, yeah, it feels good to listen to that again.
ZooeyModeratorThis kind of performance of values that prominent liberal people violate with nearly every waking breath is a deep elite cultural sickness that is leading many people to think that nothing matters and that plays a huge role in the rise of fascism.

ZooeyModerator8. Rams traded away from him in 2012 draft.
It was worth it, though, because the Rams got Isaiah Pead.
ZooeyModeratorthey should know that 92% of House Republicans just voted against a standalone bill that would simply cap the cost of insulin at $35/month.
Everyone should also know that this is misleading.
The bill caps the co-pay at $35/month, not the cost. Uninsured patients will still get billed the entire amount, and Pharma will still charge insurance companies whatever they damn well feel like charging, and the insurance companies will raise premiums to compensate.
Just more performative bullshit from the Democrats.

The comments on this on FB where I found it were all focused on some point of grammar.

ZooeyModeratorYeah, all of a sudden, I think I’m looking forward to seeing this movie.
Who’s scoring on this defense? 😤 pic.twitter.com/bGPWMuraJ3

ZooeyModeratorI think it will be Scott and Fuller. And that’s a promising combo.
Yep. Rapp is depth, and the Rams are going to be drafting secondary. What was a strength has been depleted, and it’s time for a reload back there. I think their starting 4 are good.
ZooeyModeratorNobody in the NFL has scored more touchdowns since 2016 than Todd Gurley (69). And remember…@TG3II didn’t even play a snap last season.
Tyler – Super Bowl Champs@NewWorldMan9I don’t think people understand how truly dominant he was. If he never had problems with his knee, he could’ve been a top 3 RB in NFL HistoryZooeyModeratori think defensive back and edge come through the draft. then again. these are the mcsnead rams. anything can happen.
Well, I’m thinking they may have some guys already who can be decent, if not spectacular. Terrell Lewis has been injured, but could he be good enough – with all these other guys drawing all the attention from blockers – to pressure the QB?
And Rochell looked pretty good to me. There is no reason to believe these guys are as good as their predecessors, but maybe they don’t need to be.
If Wagner comes in and shuts down the 49ers run game, maybe T. Lew creates enough problems for the puppy whathisface they are planning to start at QB. Maybe Rochell is as good as Williams.
And, frankly, my hunch is that Rochell will be better than Williams.
So…I dunno.
All I know is that the Rams are better right now than they were 24 hours ago.
ZooeyModeratorThis is probably not the high point of being a Seahawks fan.
That team is going to suffer this season. Likely 0-4 against the AFC West, and 0-6 against the NFC West. Oof. I might even feel sorry for them if I was capable of sympathy.
ZooeyModeratorIt’s good news, but I can’t help but feel like the Rams still have a glaring weakness at Punter.
ZooeyModeratorHate it when that happens.
ZooeyModeratorOkay. Now go sign Gilmore and Clowney.
“Salary Cap? We ain’t got no Salary Cap! We don’t need no Salary Cap! I don’t have to show you any stinking Salary Cap!”
ZooeyModerator
ZooeyModeratorYeah, Stafford was channeling TJ Rubley on that throw. That was “Backup QB on the Junior Varsity team.”
We will see next year. If he has games like that next season, then I will see him as a streaky QB. If he doesn’t, then I will see those games as a fluke stretch. Stafford was still getting familiar with his receivers, and he hit a stretch of good defenses consecutively.
