ZooeyModeratorSigh…
January 23, 2023 at 11:39 am in reply to: divisional round aftermath & setting up conference games #142707ZooeyModeratorBTW…
LOL Dallas.
ZooeyModeratorThey have a lot of day 3 picks
Yeah. 10 picks is good. I would expect OL and secondary, maybe a TE in there. But, like you, I think the OL is in pretty good shape.
I’ll bet they take another RB, too.
ZooeyModeratorJust my opinion, but i think the WR group in general except for Kupp is mediocre. I dunno if they can upgrade, but Kupp needs some help. w v
Too bad they don’t have a guy like Robert Woods.
I dunno. I still have hope for Robinson, though I didn’t see many games this year, but just based on the stuff I read around the trade. But Jefferson must be near the end of his deal, and he’s not ever headed to the Pro Bowl. The Rams do need another WR, seems to me. And another edge player, and secondary help.
And another long-snapper, so help me god.

(I think I made a boo-boo)
ZooeyModeratorThey haven’t used a draft pick earlier than the very late 3rd, for instance, in several years on that line. Not saying that 1st and 2nds are ever guarantees. We see all kinds of busts there all around the league, and the Rams have had their share.
Creed Humphrey > Tutu Atwell.
ZooeyModeratorBlaine Grisak@bgrisakDTRCarberry leaving is a mild surprise. Given the injuries to the OL, not sure how much of the overall performance can be pinned on him. Tough business. Curious if it has more to do with changes McVay wants to make in the run game.It could be that Carberry just isn’t an effective promoter of culture. It could be a lot of things. I doubt it’s because the OL allowed sacks.

The Los Angeles Rams will see significant changes on their coaching staff as eight members will not return next season, multiple team and league sources told The Athletic. Here’s what you need to know:
- Special teams coach Joe DeCamillis, offensive line coach Kevin Carberry, defensive backs coach Jonathan Cooley, assistant defensive line coach Skyler Jones and defensive assistant Lance Schulters were all let go. Outside linebackers coach Thad Bogardus’ contract was up and won’t be renewed.
- Offensive coordinator Liam Coen (Kentucky) and running backs coach Ra’Shaad Samples (Arizona State) both left for other jobs; Samples’ departure was in-season.
- McVay has already started searching for replacements, per team and league sources.
- The Rams finished 5-12 last season, third in the NFC West.
Late last week, Sean McVay parted with several assistant coaches, multiple people with knowledge of the moves said. Special teams coach Joe DeCamillis, OL coach Kevin Carberry, DBs coach Jonathan Cooley, asst DL coach Skyler Jones and def asst Lance Schulters
— Jourdan Rodrigue (@JourdanRodrigueZooeyModeratorRobert Woods was maybe my favorite current Ram – he was certainly “up there” – and I did not like the trade. Allen Robinson did nothing this year to change my mind, but I still give it another year before I pronounce the trade “bad.” I’m not sure that he had a full chance to earn his keep, but it doesn’t look good at this point. To me, anyway. I missed far more games than I saw, though.
ZooeyModeratorI would not trade Jalen Ramsey.
ZooeyModeratorThe main culprit was injuries as 24 players spent time on injured reserve, including their three best players. There was not enough quality depth to recover for a team that has traded away so many high draft picks in recent years.
Nobody has that much depth even if they have all their draft picks, and then some.

ZooeyModeratorWhat ultimately lives with a guy longer: winning a playoff game in the NFL, or getting fired the next day because you shattered the record for blown XPs in a playoff game?
ZooeyModeratorbtw…
LOL Minnesota.

ZooeyModeratorAg will be missed. He was a steady contributor, and always kind. RIP.
ZooeyModeratorI don’t know how it’s possible to lose a 27-point lead when you are +5 in TOs. The Chargers, man. What a frustrating wreck that team is for its fans. They are the AFC version of the Cowboys. Loads of talent, and just can’t get it together.
The 9ers have been scaring me for a long time, and now I’m very, very scared. Defeating the Seahawks was no major accomplishment, but they are rolling out the best defense, they are getting healthy at the right time, and it doesn’t matter whether they have a QB or not. That team has destiny written all over it, and I sure hope somebody figures out a way to make Brock Purdy look like the last pick in the draft, or there is going to be a lot of nauseating celebrating going on in my neighborhood. And they have an unfettered path to the Super Bowl. Nobody in the NFC is going to beat them.
ZooeyModeratorThanks for that, Z, but I already gave it a thread
Sure. Yeah. I knew that.
I just thought it needed to be placed in a less conspicuous place where fewer people might see it.
ZooeyModeratorIn case you guys aren’t really following politics anymore, this guy is currently president.

ZooeyModeratordude needs to have a talk with dick vermeil. and they need to hire an experienced oc to take some more off mcvay’s plate.
I wonder if McVay would actually be happier if someone helped him with some of the HC duties. I don’t know what I’m saying, though. I have no idea how those responsibilities could be delegated. Probably a dumb thought. It’s just that McVay loves the OC stuff. He’s really good at the HC stuff, too, but maybe that’s not his love. I dunno.
I really appreciate the culture he has developed.
ZooeyModeratorJust a heads up to everyone. I know many people don’t check the board daily, so I want to remind everyone now that Friday is the day to remove our hats in honor of a long-loved friend of ours.

ZooeyModeratorMan, I dunno what to expect next year. I just dont know. w v
Well, a lot of that will depend upon how good they are.
ZooeyModeratorAgree on the Williams call.
Agree on the Ramsey call. Ramsey was holding his ground. He did lean into the collision, but he has a right to the ground. In basketball, that would have been “charging.” IMO.
The roughing the punter call changed the game. I would rather have knocked out Seattle, and given the Lions a spot, but that’s that. Good thing that game didn’t determine the Rams’ playoff berth.
I look forward to next year.
And also talking about Aaroon Rodgers for the next 2 months. And Tom Brady. And Sean McVay.
ZooeyModeratorWell, all of a sudden Sean Payton and Vic Fangio to LA is suddenly on the map and probably feels most likely if Sean McVay does step away.
Gonna be a looooooong offseason.

ZooeyModeratorWhy people are hating on Andrew Tate.
Side issue: I hate on people who use “hate” as an intransitive verb. I’m not sure where that came from, but it’s horrible, and I hate on it.
Also, I never heard of Andrew Tate before this happened, but it makes me happy. Karma sometimes naps on the job, and it’s satisfying to see it in action.
ZooeyModerator
ZooeyModeratorBut he has not proved to be an unselfish, good, Leader, over time. And if you listen close to his interviews, you can see the hints of selfishness. He said something about ‘showcasing his talent’ recently. Thats not something i want my QB to think about. Its not a team-first mentality.
There is reason to be wary. He’s more talented than most QBs, but he’s not proven he can do the homework, or lead a team. I think it was zn who compared him to Jeff George. Too selfish, and too reliant on raw talent and bravado.
