Your thoughts on the OBJ signing 3 games in?

How do the franchise tag rules help if at all??
They might be able to help the Rams accrue a higher pick than round 3 and sooner if they can use it in a trade/deal. Not sure on the rules of how/what is required to do that though, but teams do use the tag to flip players.

Also it would require him to play really well but I do think there's a good chance of that happening given how good he's looked so far.

Every team has been forced to overcome injuries and absences due to COVID-19, and the Rams are no exception. They were without six starters on Monday night alone, losing five players to positive COVID-19 tests in the three days leading up to their game against the Cardinals.
Brian Allen missed the game with a knee injury suffered in Week 13, as well, leaving the Rams short-handed against the 10-2 Cardinals.

They still managed to beat their division rivals, 30-23, battling through the adversity of missing players such as Jalen Ramsey, Tyler Higbee and Rob Havenstein. Sean McVay and Raheem Morris were forced to draw help from the practice squad, also relying on backups who didn’t play much up to this point.
The snap counts show how the Rams replaced those six starters and who played more than usual Monday night.

Offense​

The five starting offensive linemen, Matthew Stafford and Sony Michel all played every single snap. Joe Noteboom replaced Havenstein at right tackle and Shelton filled in at center for Allen, each performing at a high level given the circumstances. Michel carried the ball 20 times for 79 yards as the starter in place of Darrell Henderson Jr. again, giving him 44 carries in the last two games. He’s only missed two snaps in that span.

Kendall Blanton played a career-high 52 snaps against the Cardinals, getting thrown into action as Higbee’s replacement. Blanton began the year on the practice squad and had been elevated to the active roster before, but his role was limited as a reserve. Brycen Hopkins also played 20 snaps to set a new career-high, though he definitely needs work as a blocker.

Cooper Kupp came off the field for only six snaps, while Van Jefferson and Odell Beckham Jr. played 79% and 72%, respectively. The Rams don’t have much depth at wide receiver now so they must rely on that trio of pass catchers. Ben Skowronek was the fourth receiver, playing 14 snaps – primarily on running downs.
Bobby Evans took on the role that Noteboom had last week as the sixth offensive lineman. He reported as eligible six times against the Cardinals.


Defense​

With Jalen Ramsey and Dont’e Deayon out, Darious Williams and David Long Jr. became the starters at cornerback. They each played all 78 snaps on defense, as did Taylor Rapp and Jordan Fuller, who remain the starting safeties. Kareem Orr was the third cornerback on the depth chart, playing 51% of the snaps – his most of the season.

Greg Gaines and Aaron Donald hardly ever came off the field, which has become a common trend lately. They played 95% of the snaps against Arizona, impacting the game in a big way as pass rushers and run defenders.

At linebacker, Ernest Jones has clearly emerged as the top player for the Rams. He played 87% of the snaps and had a huge interception in the red zone, the second straight week he’s stepped up in a big way. Troy Reeder only played seven snaps, continuing his downward spiral. Justin Hollins returned from IR and played 17 snaps, many of which came at inside linebacker ahead of Reeder.

Terrell Burgess played his most snaps of the season, earning 33 reps on defense. He struggled as a tackler and in coverage, so it wasn’t the performance he was looking for in this big opportunity, but at least he got some playing time with Deayon and Ramsey out.

A’Shawn Robinson continues to be a rotational player for the Rams, playing 49% of the snaps. Marquise Copeland also played 11 snaps as the fourth defensive lineman.

2022 rule change proposals

It’s impossible to stop teams from contacting candidates indirectly regardless of the rule. Billionaires are used to getting their way and no aspiring coach is going to reject a teams advances cuz it’s too soon.
Sure but it doesn't mean you give up. Some things are by nature going to be difficult and require a rule set to counter them.

If they were to go the other direction with this, and set up rules that make them wait until let's say after the Super Bowl, some owners would absolutely try to cheat. And when they get caught you slam them by taking draft picks, along with maybe a stiff fine thrown in. Write that shit into the rules. You lose a first round pick and pay an X amount fine which should be significant enough to make most owners think twice about tampering.

A civil discussion please. No fighting needed.

This doesn't make sense. The NFL uses all kinds of security and law enforcement at every single game.
Why do you think they're doing this?
And what does the future hold regarding security at games?

Zac Stacy

Staged? STAGED? What the heck is he trying to say? That she forced him to throw her against the TV and put a beat down on her? Yes I'm pretty sure she placed the video camera in the correct place to catch on camera any violence he might commit that day. And sure enough he did.

There is zero excuses available for him as to why he was THAT crazy insanely violent with a 120 lbs woman! If by staged he means she made sure his behavior could be video taped, yes. Then staged it was.

She could have antagonized him with words all she wanted, even called him the N word over and over ... AND STILL he does not have the right to be even mildly physically violent with her ... let alone EXTREMELY Violent in a way that could have easily killed her.


He's still a violent criminal that needs jail time, lots of it.
Yeah, Stacy's "staged" defense is just plain weird. And nonsensical.

"How dare she place a camera in a spot that could record me beating the crap out of her!"

Disappointed...

No, that was actually over Bradford/ Suh draft pick... Mod didn't like my point of view... Kind of made him look silly for his reasoning and during our own discussion of the issue and he suspended me temporarily... I just thought it was petty.

Anyway I just couldn't let that comment that it was about politics stand.

I'll be back, just need a break for various reasons. I just found it funny that opposing views continued on that thread...

I thought it was being discussed fairly among adults... Just think it's silly that a few were selectively targeted.


If you have a question or concern about our moderation... you need to communicate that in private message or email. That is clearly listed in our Terms and Rules (you can find them at the bottom of the page).

Creating a thread about it is the complete opposite of what we require. Not cool.

We are happy to discuss any concerns with our membership about moderation in PM.

I'll leave this up for a few and then I'll be deleting this entire thread.
