it has a option where you can type in the page number you want to go to , just not a simple skip to the last page/post option ?

Mobile is a little funny. The bottom of the thread, you can select the page number you want to jump to.

But, if you arrow-up to the top of the thread... you have a button to “Jump To New”. That takes you to the newest unread posts.

per Fox Sports. Good news...... with everything pretty such shut down across the country, wasn't even sure if they would do it. Didn't specify if it's just regular season / or PS too. I still think end of July is the worst case scenerio with all of the lock downs due to corona virus = so it would be ideal to get the preseason game in as well, in August.

Any thoughts that the limited time McVay, and the zero time the coordinators, spent at the combine will negatively impact us in the draft given the limited amount of face-to-face meetings and other workouts?

Or are Zoom meetings, facetime and game tape all that is really required?

Click to expand...

In years past, I have read coaches and GMs say that game film is most important. The combine is a chance for coaches to interview players and measure their agility in different drills to confirm what they see on game tape.

What! Two of my favorite players on this team gone now, I hate 2020

I still think that tackle from behind going out of bounds was the beginning of the end for Gurley here. He was never the same that season after that it seemed like.

Click to expand...

There is no doubt about it. This game and that play was the end of Todd Gurley’s Career.

Such a Dynamic Mutidimentional RB.

Sad.

I'd take Golden or Griffen if either came cheap

I voted 4 times (God bless you incognito tabs!) But then I got bored and stopped.

Well, we had better production out of Evans last year so why not trade Havenstein and, (especially unload) his contract?
The fall off was noticeable with Havenstein.

And now we have Edwards used to lining up next to Evans and both on rookie contracts.

If we could get a fourth round draft pick for him and unload his contract that seems like a win-win.

Click to expand...

Rams do have four other RT prospects lurking currently on the roster like Bobby Evans, David Edwards, Chandler Brewer or even Joseph Noteboom.

Does RT Rob Havenstein still retain enough value to some NFL teams after his disastrous 2019 season performance to be worth trading away? Rams just paid Rob Havenstein his 2020 Roster Bonus of $3.75M in guarantees.

What would the Rams possibly get in return other than salary cap relief? 5th rounder or a 7 rd pick? I think its more likely Rob will end up being involved on Friday evening (2nd day of NFL draft) as Snead draft ammo fodder for a trade up.

Rams are in the hot seat now squirming around to dig & beg a way to pay Brockers/Robinson & Floyd. Problem is there is no ex large sizeable cap relief just moderate relief to be gotten if Rob is traded. OTC say's $5.4 savings & $2.4 dead $$$.

Spotrac says something different saying if the Rams trade Rob there would be a 2020 Dead Cap hit of $6.15 million & only a 2020 Cap Savings of $1.65 million.alm:
If Spotrac is correct there's no way that Rob Havenstein is traded or released in 2020.

@flv What do you see here? Can you give us your numbers & thoughts?

Wouldn't mind a prove it deal with Daniels, Correa, or Breeland.

10 things with Josh Reynolds

Each week, we interview a different Rams player to find out about their lives on the field as well as off of it. Team Reporter, Sarina Morales, asks the questions fans want to know, in a fun and conversational interview. This week, wide receiver, Josh Reynolds, spoke to Sarina about why he has such a good relationship with the Rams wideout group, his new appreciation for his backyard and Ozark.

1: Big Smoove update

Sarina: First and foremost, how's 'Big Smoove' doing?

Josh: I'm good, just been trying to cope with all of this craziness that's been going on.

2: Life is a Beach

Sarina: The offseason has been pretty different from any other we've seen. What are you looking forward to most once things get back to normal?

Josh: What I'm looking forward to when this is all over is being able to go to the beach! Also to go eat at Joey's restaurant!

3: JJ's return

Sarina: You have often been called a "sleeper" on the team. Who would you say is another teammate you are excited to see step up this coming season?

Josh: I'm looking forward to see John Johnson's comeback season.

4: On an Island

Sarina: I know most of us are staying put, so if you could live anywhere in the world for a year, where would it be? Why?

Josh: If I could live anywhere it would be a private island for me and the fam. That way if we wanted to do something outside, we would be on a beach.

5: I just want to be successful

Sarina: Why do you think you have such a good relationship with your fellow wide receivers?

Josh: I think it's because we are all looking to see one another be just as successful as ourselves.

6: Poolside

Sarina: What has been your "new" favorite part of your home? (A part you didn't really use/appreciate before we were all quarantined.)

Josh: My favorite part is my backyard/pool. I spend a lot of time in the pool now.

7: Keep it simple

Sarina:100 kittens or 3 baby sloths?

Josh:3 baby sloths. 100 of anything is very excessive.

8: Ozark is back!

Sarina: What show should I binge-watch?

Josh: I have found myself binge-watching Ozark and Altered Carbon.

9: He's not afraid

Sarina:If you had to be on a reality TV show, which one would you choose?

Josh:Naked and Afraid

10: On the go Sports App Award

Sarina:Your lovely girlfriend, Haley, is a sports reporter. What is something she's taught you about covering the game?

Josh:I get to see how much time and effort goes into that side of the camera. She also is like my 'on the go sports app' because she knows almost everything going on in the sports world.

Which means they'll leech money from the rest of the state instead of pay for their stadium themselves.

No, Cephus isn't a candidate to be a returner.

.

i'll definitely be happy if the deal falls through. don't see why it will though as gurley wasn't injured, just a little constricted.

Colts move to Rivers and that was an easy prediction. Now, how does it pan out? I hope it works out for both, as I have always not liked Rivers, far too many loses to the Patriots and some of it was on him, but other pundits believe he should have stayed on his couch and that Jacoby Brissett will take over by mid season if there is one....My feeling is that Brissett has been seriously overrated and the Colts will draft a QB this year, but they will keep Old Man River in the saddle for better or worse.

What's worse, that, or America granting immunity and covering up war crimes/human experimentation for Japanese Commodes and doctors, including members of Unit 731? They brought a number of them into the United States as well and allowed them to live free (some still to this day), and these guys did some of the most fucked up things during the war. All because they wanted to collect the data on biological warfare.

Oh I agree completely.
And I also don't view the decisions from where we stand now, and as a lover of history, I don't judge historical figures from the perspective of modern morality either. If you erase every person or era that doesn't pass the modern morality test, we would have no history left at all.

2020 Offensive players Late round / UDFA’s



In no special order, these players were intriguing.



Brian Herrien RB Georgia 6’0” - 210 lbs

Herrien was a career back-up with good production in that role. He’s physical runner with decent speed, can catch the ball well, and is a good pass protector. Could be part of a well rounded RC by committee.

Login to view embedded media View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r1YeTgNiiI4




Quez Watkins WR Southern Miss 6’0” – 185 lbs

Watkins has good size and great speed (4.35/40). Has a sudden burst to get past defenders after making catch. Is very good at jump balls. Needs to get stronger as to not get bumped off his route in press man and he needs to lessen the number of balls into his body.

Login to view embedded media View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3pIs_iI8U3I




Jonathan Ward RB Central Michigan 6’0” – 205 lbs

Ward looks to have break away speed without any combine testing. He looks to have a good balance of receiving skills to go along with his good vision as a ball carrier. His slight build for his height may force him into a 3rd down specialist.

Login to view embedded media View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GJa-sV7JsZY&t=1s




Dominick Woods-Anderson TE Tennessee 6’4” – 250 lbs

Woods-Anderson has the skills I demand in a TE ; to be a competent blocker. He is arguably the best blocking TE in this class. He didn’t run well at the combine, but on tape he is fluid in getting into his routes and can find holes in zones.

Login to view embedded media View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EP36N6Z5tI0&t=1s






Lawrence Cager WR Georgia 6’5” – 220 lbs

Cager popped on the screen as I was watching tape of other players ; he kept making contested catches and half of them were in the endzone. He does not have long speed to get over the top of the defense, but is good over the middle and a killer in the redzone. Over 2 seasons, he had 7 tds on 38 catches….that’s a TD every 5.5 catches. Would make a good WR4-5 for the Rams if they lose Reynolds in FA.

Jason Huntley RB / KR New Mexico St 5’9” – 195 lbs

Huntley is another balanced runner/receiver with a 7 yards per average in carries and 8 yards per reception ; 23 total TD’s from scrimmage. And, in addition, had 5 KO return TD’s in 41 attempts.

Login to view embedded media View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XpvOJIJJddo&t=60s




Noah Togiai TE Oregon St 6’4” – 248 lbs

I list Togiai here only because of the higher possibility he becomes a Ram due to the fact they met with him before his Pro Day. He has above average burst off of the LOS to get into his routes and is quick at locating the ball. However, his blocking is not on par with his receiving skills. One scout was quoted as saying his blocking is laughable.

2020 Defensive players - late round potential / UDFA’s


In no particular order, some of these players I found to be interesting.


Chris Orr LB Wisconsin

He is one of the best when blitzing, he shows awareness playing zone coverage, but doesn’t get off of blocks

Login to view embedded media View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cy3RHZX8XwE




Kamren Curl Safety Arkansas

Has a knack for getting his hands on the ball and knocking it loose ; good coverage skills, played CB as a freshman

Login to view embedded media View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C2JmQrJr0X4




Garrett Marino DL UAB

He fits the definition of a defender who plays like his hair is on fire ….. has a non-stop motor

Login to view embedded media View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M49amJxZoJo




Tipa Galea’I Edge Utah St

A tall, lanky Edge player with good production but had an off the field issue.

Rodney Clemons Safety SMU

6’0” – 195 lbs, decent sized Safety with CB experience ; great tackler ; can make plays on the ball with 7 int’s and 27 Passes defensed over 3 seasons.

Login to view embedded media View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4zGZ0fFYeA


Derrek Tuszka Edge ND State 6’4” – 250 lbs

Dominated as a 4-3 End against smaller schools ; will have to move to 3-4 edge in the NFL and show some coverage ability

Login to view embedded media View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bs7KpdqbIEk


Charles Oliver CB Texas A&M

I can’t find any highlights of Oliver on Youtube, but there is this, from CFB Film Room: “Oliver, a three-year starter, closed out his Texas A&M career with a bang. On 32 targets, Oliver allowed a measly 3.6 yards per target versus slot receivers. No other player came in under 4.0 yards per target allowed. The 6-foot-2, 196-pound cornerback has gone unnoticed in NFL Draft circles, but he was certainly productive enough to warrant at least a camp invite in the NFL. “



Rashad Smith LB Florida Intl 6’1” - 220 lbs

Smith is a LB / Safety tweener who is good in pass coverage. He had 10 passes defensed, 7 INT’s, and 10 sacks over 3 seasons.

I kind of like it...

I still remember the only time I was at a World Series game when Joe Ferguson stepped in front of Jimmy Wynn to gun down Sal Bando at the plate in the top of the ninth. I was only 12 at the time but I will always remember that game even though the Dodgers lost that game.

Hmmmm....
