SmackOff
Left in Laguna won this year. Not that anyone else follows it. Thus years calls were subpar in my opinion.
Personally I’m glad NRC is gone. Still ticked off at him not just for poor play in the NFC championship game but for blathering on and on about it afterwards. Like to see Long step up.I think the release of "Nickle Only corner" NRC was a smart move when looking at it in its totality.
The Org has positioned itself very well going into the 2020 season @ the Nickle position. They have many DB's signed who have the talent to be better than NRC was last season. I was of the opinion that NRC was slightly overrated by fans.
everybody is critical of goff's deal except for half the people in here.
every article i've read that mentions it makes some snide comments about the money the rams paid goff.
it irritates me no end. and i don't even care what those bozos think but it still makes me roll my eyes every time i see it.

Had a very interesting career. 26 year old rookie with the Rams.
Came along after the original Fearsome Foursome broke up. Played five years with the Rams (same as Havenstein) and was really good. I was a huge Deacon Jones fan but at that point, I thought Coy Bacon was the better player.
One year after the Rams disappointed me by trading Deacon to the Chargers (they had some kid named Jack Youngblood they thought might be good), they traded Bacon to the Chargers.
This was after the disappointing 1972 season when the Rams were under five hundred. New coach I never heard of. They traded my favorite player (Roman Gabriel) to Philadelphia and Bacon to San Diego. Just awful for a child.
Did I mention that I was an idiot?
The coach was Chuck Knox (NFL Coach of the Year), they got All Pro WR Harold Jackson from the Eagles, QB John Hadl from the Chargers (1973 MVP) and went 12-2.
Bacon played another 8 or 9 years, and continued to be really good.
Goff lead the Rams last year without Gurley. He was completely average last season and actually Akers is an upgrade at this point. I guarantee Goff will be fine.
I'm just going to hold out hope that this young group gels and benefits from coaching up. Dallas had an elite OL but hasn't gotten there. There's more than one way to skin a cat. Eh @dieterbrock ?
