Well no....I mean I love Kobie, but McVay was asked a question about him and responded with those points.

Ernest Jones was a starter on our Super Bowl team, is vocal and will probably call the defense....he is the clear cut leader there

good call

Eagles looked shaky at best on the Ass Mash. Almost fumbled at the 1 yard line when Barkley could have more easily plunged in. I hope it kills this shit play. If not look for someone taking Hurts out with a missile shot to the head.

Seems like if the D would decide to push right or left instead of trying to push straight on it would defuse some of the forward momentum. Plus maybe leave the ball carrier exposed. I don't know if that is possible, but they need to try something different.

It's illegal (in the rule book) to push or pull your teammate forward to gain more yardage. But, for some reason it's ignored on the tush PUSH (I'm calling it the butt fuck) play.

In the spirit of the game and to comply with the actual rules., this bullshit play needs to be penalized as the rule book demands.

The league needs to make it clear that it's illegal.

If they don't, why not just put two 400 pound guys lined up as RBs behind the QB and have them both pick him up and plow his ass forward. That's the next step in the process. It's fucking bullshit.

I never hope for injuries because it always comes back on you and it's also completely against the spirit of the game... but sooner or later a QB is gonna get fucked up bad because the rule that prohibits this play is being ignored on purpose.

I'll take spring weather in the Northeast, fall weather in Florida.

There’s been a lot of talk about what’s missing from the d-line and it’s certainly substantial but I can’t wait to see these guys play. They’re rookies figuring out the nfl but they already have that connection with each other to build on. Verse has made his presence known whether it’s on the field or during practice but one guy who’s been under the radar is Jackson. How does he fit in to the new look d- line?

Seahawks lack the QB. I expect their defense will be a pain, but QB puts a cap on what they can do.

The play before the final one the receiver was wide open and he threw a bad pass. His mobility is the best in the league. But his passing ability is average if that. A classic case of another running quarterback who leaves something to be desired with accuracy.

Truth. Though he has a chance this year to legitimize himself in the playoffs.

But I always see him as second tier for that reason. The top guys win from the pocket and can beat you without a run game.

I'm playing it with a buddy of mine. You have a game handle so we can hop on together?

Yeah will hit you up when the cheap bastids who refuse to pay for early release can download it. Already bought it just waiting for release day but will send you my tag. Gotta look that shit up, don't usually play on steam.

We used to have sooooo much fun with the table top game. I'll take a look at this for sure.

I remember playing the pc game from the 90s that gave you a squad to retake a space hulk. Man that was creepy.

Crazy how good graphics are now.

The story is true - very artistic as a kid.

Then I picked up a t-square...
and the rest is history.

I need to learn how to spell this guys name.

I love his game. When he hits someone they dont go forward.

And he plays under control, which means he wont get those ticky-tack calls.

Hope he is a Day 1 starter and makes us forget about whats his name.

Jackson's shoulder could still be bothering him as well.

What I like about this offseason is the hunger shown by the Rams to improve the room. Schrader isn't anything special but he's a solid depth option that fits the passcatchiness McVay prefers while also being able to get you some tough yards. In previous years they would have stood pat on their shitty ass roster acting like they're sitting on diamonds nobody knew anything about. But this RB Coach has changed that.

I suspect he's telling the staff "fuck yes I want that dude please get him" instead of "nah we good watch how I get the most from these boys."

Saw Funk was still in the league (NFL) this preseason. Saw Sko & others as well around the league.Point being The Rams build players up.

Just another example of Zach Thomas.Does he become a starter in NE ?
Another example of keeping a player & developing him after he FAILED in Bruss.

Never heard of Geier. I do know that in 1967 Don Hewitt replaced Bill "Granny" Granholm, who was their longtime equipment manager for the Rams since 1949. He trained Don back in the day.

Update... The Seattle/LA game lottery was today. I guess we see are not going to that game...

23 people got the 92 tickets.

There were 85,006 in the pool!! So basically, an entire stadium vying for less than 100 seats...

Yeah, I haven't tried the bidding thing yet with Vettix. I've just gone to events that didn't require bidding. I don't know how many tokens it takes to win.

I really didn't think he would play but now I've got hope that he can. I really want to beat the Lions.

Btw I like the way this Edge group hang together, they seem like to a man they're focused on the right shit.

And overall it's incredible to watch the culture on this team, after so many years of the Rams getting that wrong. We are living in a blessed window of opportunity here, so I hope the players take full advantage.

I don't want to see Kupp doing a goddamn thing other than catching passes. No returns. No kicking. Just move those chains 10.

Even if they don't result in fumbles a returner seeing the tricky movement is more likely to fair catch it so he can secure it. Or if he returns it that extra half second to make sure he catches it will slow him down.

Still wish we had a media sticky, but here's this...
