I remember driving the 5 freeway to San Diego and passing orange groves left and right. They are all gone now.

Fuck that list. I demand a recount.

I have never been into gang movies/shows because even though they may not mean to - I feel they glorify the drug industry which I can never get into.

You have 4 cards to play to enhance the Rams chances of success. You may not use more than one card on any one player.

HEALTH: The player upon whom you bestow this card will be guaranteed to be healthy for the entire season.

EMERGENCE: You may bestow this card upon any player with 20 or fewer NFL starts. That player will emerge as a Pro Bowl caliber player.

CAREER YEAR: You may use this card on any player, and he will have a career year in 2023.

RENEWAL: Like the Health card, this card guarantees a fully healthy 2023, but it may only be used on a player who has been on the IR in the last two years.

Spend your cards wisely!

Interesting thread....
HEALTH: Cooper Kupp. If he has health, no magic cards are needed cuz the guy IS magic.

EMERGENCE: Steve Avila. He is so important to solidify this offensive line.

CAREER YEAR: Cam Akers. We need a thousand yard rusher and I hope I am wrong about Cam. (other posts)

RENEWAL: Matthew Stafford. This guy still has all the tools of a Top 3 QB in this league. Give him health, along with Cooper Kupp, we are going to rip this league apart.


I went offense heavy, because it seems like we are closer to being really good on offense, than on defense. We have too many rookies on defense that were not drafted that high (or at all) to expect to find that many hidden gems to be great (hope I'm wrong)

Reading through this discussion I had to laugh...two years ago this time, someone on a fan forum was looking through obscure rule changes and found something about a double punt and said "when would that EVER happen???"

Yeah that was crazy!

The Rams seem to be good getting out in front of things… but the influx of NFL gambling was bound to mess with some players.

Well done Rams if this holds up.

Looks like the USFL/XFL will get an infusion of NFL talent!

Must've watched iRobot starring Will Smith and pretty much nobody else at least ten times because I was babysitting my then-younger-than-ten-year-old sister, and that must've been the only movie she ever wanted to watch. Not a bad movie to binge watch, even though you learn the lines after a time, and though Smith carried the weight of the entire movie on his back.

Yes, @Loyal , I know what you're going to try to snark, so I'll leave you with a pre-emptive one-liner: "Keep my sister's name out yo fuckin' mouth!"

Sherlock Gnomes (2018) ⭐ 5.3 | Animation, Adventure, Comedy

Haha. Nope but I saw the original Gnomes movie with my daighter.

As a kid I saw Bambi, Rumplestiltskin and every old Sinbad movie at the local theater. I loved the monsters, magic and the adventure in the latter. A young Jane Seymour was the damsel in distress in one of those Sinbad movies. It cost .75 cents in the 70's. That place was gone before I graduated. Once VHS tapes and HBO came along it killed the local theater.

They have a ton of young OL. He's got to play some of them in preseason. Havenstein, Shelton and Allen shouldn't see the field for more than a series or two. Noteboom probably too. But Avila, Anchrum, Alaric, Bruss, McClendon, Thomas, Arcuri, the two UDFAs should all play a lot.

That’s a lotta guys competing for about half as many jobs. They would have to play, wouldn’t they? I sure hope they do.

15 yard penalty on that hit for leaving his feet

The penalty is negated due to lack of clothes

When I saw the thread title, and before realizing it was an old thread, I was tempted to respond with "duh."

John Randle also had a better career than Warren Sapp.

Bruss and Avila are two of the key OL they have going into the future.

Do the Rams have their OL of the future in C Avila, LG Bruss, RG McClendon, LT Noteboom and RT Jackson? It will be interesting to see who plays where on the starting OL during TC. IMO McClendon is likely to be a work in progress to see if he can play OG this year.

This year I expect LT Noteboom, LG Bruss, C Shelton, RG Avila and RT Havenstein. That looks like a pretty good IOL.

Click to expand...

As stated before, I am really concerned about Noteboom's availability so I am hoping Jackson is the LT instead

I think McVay allowing Snead that final say on picks this year was cool because if this draft is bad we're gonna have another rough season and there will be changes. And the first change will be GM because they're not gonna fire McVay.

Yeah it's a nasty sched especially early. Which sucks because McVay's teams tend to use the first four as their preseason games and generally are at their worst early on. If this team comes out the gate slow this year they'll be 0-4 so hoping they're ready to go and I'm talking the lines in particular. OL especially.

I'm hoping the starters get a tune-up look at some point in preseason this year due to this. But McVay is very stubborn about it so probably not.

Snaps aren't the best indicator. SJD had a job and when another player emerges staffs don't always play them as much as they should. The coaches need to handle the people so it isn't like with us where we see the quality of the backup and expect a quick change on the depth chart.

Gaines was a slam dunk to be the starter because he was more immovable vs double teams plus penetrates in the rush. And the timing was ideal for the Rams on his emergence, with SJD moving on for more money. Sometimes things line up.

This year it was similar with Ramsey, whose game was showing cracks. Rams moved him wisely to avoid drama and bs and went young. So the quality of replacement is not as good as Gaines>SJD but it might work out better for them than everyone expects.

You know, looking at the moves this offseason, or rather lack of moves, it sure appears like the Rams are looking at 2023 as a throwaway season. Its still possible when you see what our depth chart on defense looks like. Some have even used the 'tank' word to describe their strategy.

But now they sign an experienced RB vet who can still pick up tough yards and knows how the protect the quarterback. With all the receivers on the roster they signed two more experienced guys. A couple guy who should be good enough for WR3 position. If Tutu, Skow or Puka earn the WR3 spot then even better. Should make the position group deeper with a couple experienced guys backing them up.

I'm thinking they really want to focus on the offense this year. That would be their best shot at playing competitive football this year. Picking up Michel has given me a more positive outlook for this season. I had them penciled in for 7 wins at best. Now I'm thinking if the line can be serviceable they could win 9 or 10.

I moved to West Fricken Virginia from LA and I am still a Rams fan.

I am so annoyed with my Brother Mom and Dad when they moved to Phoenix and became Cardinal Fans when they were Ram fans until their move to Phoenix. My wife can't understand it either since she moved from New York and is still a Buffalo fan.

you bet, I moved from California to Iowa, everybody here roots for the Chiefs, but for me it's always been the Horns.
