Downtown Brown’s interview with rookie Daniel Hardy got me excited about The Rams new LBer coach Chris Beake & players he will have to coach Howard,Jones.Rozeboom, & Wagner.

I’d say more so though of how certain players from the OLB group find there niche? Thad Bogardus has his work cut out for him.

Daniel Hardy talks about what his goals are as a Young Ram Player.He is just such a genuine Young Man.Like Ernest Jones there upbringing is cool because of there Mothers.You think about The Drafting of players. The Heart of making it & keeping humble is what separates a lot of players.IMO you can not over look those types of things.
Anyway before I get to carried away from this is players like Lewis,Hollins & Garrett are all going to be able to be able to pass pro.I don’t know what the Defense will look like,but D. Hardy says that is what his main goal is to get better at.He also like Q. Lake know what it’s going to take to be a Ram.
I say that because you talk about The Crow you are enjoying. Nick Scott is that perfect player who knew what it took to be a Ram & what was asked of him early.

It’s called SPECIAL TEAMS!!!! Coach D’ is going to get into this group.He is making this Baby his Own. I mean Gay just was a Pro Bowl kicker.The Rams got a draft pick last season for a Punter. Johnny is gone & The Rams had a New Long Snapper.

That’s before Brandon Powell came into play & changed the punting game. My hope & even more so again is Cooper Kupp stays away from being a PR. I mean you want to talk SPECIAL TEAMS or a SPECIAL PLAYER? I mean Cooper Kupp is a GREAT example of what SPECIAL TEAMS means.
What a YEAR & he wins the TRIPLE CROWN & still returning Punts ?

bump...

becuse the rams team page is so slow at updating roster list...

go rams

I’m going to be kind and rewind. As example do u or did u you agree with Simms assessment of Goff being an average to below avg QB (#19) coming into the 2019 season? That’s the bias I am referring to. It’s only my opinion but one that had me questioning Simms takes.

I Disagreed AT THE TIME. In Retrospect and Finality (the ONLY thing that matters) I agree with him.

nice for sports fans of a franchise to know that management is always trying to improve themselves and the team they work for.

One of Seattle's WRs have to be bumped. They shouldn't have two in the top 15.

Maybe James Conner. He was doing everything for AZ last year.

As I noted,I will be interested to see how the Seahawks’ WRs fare without Wilson. I’m betting they have a significant decline.

Perhaps the most significant thing about the list is that only one QB in the division - Stafford - is there by complete consensus.

Stephen A makes more good takes than some give him credit for, but you have to ignore the yelling and listen long enough to hear them.

Yea I used to listen to him on the radio everyday

So Ram said:

You can’t take Tutu out of it,but Ben Sko sure was a big part of the SuperBowl win. To think The Rams didn’t need an extra WR?

Harris & Funk are add in’s,but Harris was the Golden child coming out of OTA’s. Ben Sko right into training camp was shining,a long with Blanton.

The UDRFA players need to be added. Troy Fucking Reeder beat out Johnston who was a Ram sweetheart story with Brett Favres.

I'm just saying that they'd still get an A grade if those players pan out that way, imo.
If you end up with 3 quality starters from a draft without a first rounder.. and you add really nice depth/special teamers.. that's an A.

Jackson doesn't get rolled into this because he's UDFA.... but, man.. what an INCREDIBLE STEAL he'll be.. if he's a legit LT starter in the NFL at some point.

She wasn't late to her own funeral, but, she was late to Carroll's funeral. Strangest time ever as Rams fans.

The ceremony got off on the wrong foot when Georgia was an hour late. Sandy Scully, CR’s former executive assistant, remembers Georgia’s grand, if tardy, entrance: “Everybody was very uncomfortable. We were all waiting there and didn’t know what was going on with her.”
When the memorial service finally did start, comedian Jonathan Winters, one of Carroll’s close friends, acted as master of ceremonies. Two vocalists sang Carroll’s favorite songs. NFL commentator Howard Cosell, star of Fantasy Island Ricardo Montalbán, and Hawaii Five-O regular Ross Martin were among those who delivered eulogies. Don Rickles performed his trademark off-color shtick. Some thought it was the perfect celebration of Carroll’s raucous spirit.

Ross Martin. Wow... I didn't know they were buds. I'm glad you posted this Brudda.

I just want all to know how important this is to me

Having Bobby Wagner vs. the Whiner will be huge this season

Yeah and Hollins should be fine on early downs. What we need as a best-case type situation is someone to emerge as a rotation threat on passing downs. That's where we're banking on some longshots in Garret and Hardy.

I'm really eager to get a look at Hardy in preseason though. Love his motor. Guy looks to me like a poor man's Haason Reddick I just want to see him vs some appropriate competition.

Here's an interview of his, it gets interesting I think about 4:30 or so.

What a cool half-time show that would be though ...

if Rich Strike didn't win.. the above ticket was good for about 7k

Also of note but less impactful to game day fans.

Heh.... now that was blatantly obvious. Long time announcer for the Lakers, Chick Hearn, would say, "he's hopping like a bunny in a pea patch. "

I also am done with the NBA. Not sure as to a specific reason but ain't missing it at all. Haven't watched a minute of any games all year.

The new coaching staff in Jacksonville will do wonders for Trevor Lawrence, there is now an adult in the room.

As to Zach Wilson besides having a smoking mom, I was not impressed and somewhat concerned. In fact, the backup Mike White had the best game at QB for the New York Jets. There are hoping with an improved cast that Wilson will make the jump....We'll See.

Click to expand...

Foles or Wentz? F” Fisher !!! That said maybe I can add Sam Bradford.

The truth is I hate Trevor Lawrence,especially as he was on the sideline with his beautiful hair hugging the douche bag of a HC. He threw him under the bus talking about Trevor’s bachelor party in Vegas. Yeah hated him for sucking up to such a piece of dodo.
—Trevor is real good is the other reason I hate him & he knows it.Not a bad thing for a QB being cocky.

—Never liked Wilson at BYU.His parents being another reasons.Jr year talking about how much he improved & is NFL ready.
-Now with Zach Wilson going to the JETS have his OC get Killed by a Car riding his Bike last summer Sucked!!
Getting drafted by a QB guru & going through OTA’s never helps.Then starting the offense over was not an easy task.

I thought the Niners trading up so far to number 3 was crazy with a deep QB group.Who knows,but it was a deep QB class.

Fields is a question mark I always had.The Bears imo should have waited to trade up.

Mac Jones fell perfect into the Pats hands.They might have traded up?
Still a nice spot.

Mills worked out with Jones & reports were he looked NFL ready.

Don’t know who that Jets other rookie QB was(White?) or where he came from off hand.

IMO I look back at The Rams & always will think having Foles & Case Keenum should have put The Rams in a good position to win NOW!! Todd Gurley had just won rookie offensive player of the year.
Jared Goff took a extra year & Mcvay was a Big reason why.

Selassie I said:

Haha

I should have made this clearer in my previous post. The weathermen here LITERALLY do say that there is a 50% chance of rain just about every single night. They only deviate from that when there is a hurricane about to hit... that's when they say there's a 100% chance of rain tomorrow.

Oh I knew exactly what you were saying. I was just putting in my two cents

OregonRamsFan said:

If a team can move its bye week, why aren’t we? Or anyone else? What precedent does that set? It’s BS IMHO.

Click to expand...

You can ask for certain scheduling considerations and the Rams do every year. I've posted many of the draft reveal phone calls and the Rams talk about those requests of theirs. As for bye week there are pluses and minuses to early and late bye weeks. Nothing is ever perfect.

Fuck no! I hope he gets both his femurs snapped in half and they go up his ass as he lands on the ground. Fuck that piece of shit. Thank goodness I got my blood pressure under control hahaha

Yeah.... This is a sports board.

While I may like debating world issues and political bents, this is not the place for this and in only two pages you can see the growing division into camps among people that otherwise mostly get along as RAMS FANS.

@Merlin - As much as I respect how you present these threads in a posture of neutrality, they are obviously going to be political. I need you to consider this before posting more of them.

In just two pages, we have terms thrown at each other as left, right, climate denier, living wage, etc... ALL button pushing terms. I've seen good members call each other essentially ignorant and intentionally blind. Gee... I can only imagine what I would find after ten pages of this shit. Oh wait. It won't get there. LOCKED.

Yeah - I'm sorry Merlin but this is a WAY too politically loaded subject and really not fitting of a sports board.

I hope OBJ is back next season.
