Then get out of the submarine.

Big Whit is one amazing dude. That signing, just damn. Talk about hittin a grand slam in FA.

Watching the film I was able to pick up on a few things, but to have Peyton break it down even more and bring up the whys instead of the hows, makes this special. And that we have a guy that he (The Sheriff) feels strongly about....bring a bit more good feelings. Great stuff. Thanks for posting.

The Rams Run Defense will not improve unless the bring in a run stuffing NT (perhaps a beefed up Brockers??) and ILB. To maximize their pass rush I would keep Fowler but they need to find another Edge Rusher to complement him (perhaps Okoronkwo).

If JJ III replaces LJ as the Rams (most of the snaps) high safety its an improvement. This is not a hard decision because JJIII has played a ton of high safety when Wade orders it. Now the problem is finding an SS who can flip to high safety position some of the time. Hybrid ILB/Strong Safety Marqui Christian is not that safety. RFA safety Blake Countess might do for a period of time till a new Snead rookie drafted safety is ready to start with JJIII.

If defensive captain Cory Littleton slides over to the weak side ILB'er post in the position that the wore down WSILB Mark Barron played ...that would be a very BIG improvement. Once again the issue is 2nd yr MLB'er Micah Kiser [5-11 245 lb'er] be the run stuffering hole plugging LB'er this defense is in need off. Snead could also address this MLB'ing position once again in the draft on the 3rd day too.

I agree it would be very smart to give OLB'er Dante Fowler Jr. a contract for 2019 as our top edge rusher & work hard (Assist HC & LB coach Barry) to develop very young OLB/ER'ers Og Okoronkwo/ Trevon Young/ Justin Lawler/ Samson Ebukam & Garrett Sickels.

I am also in full agreement that Snead & Wade draft a talented (zero gap & 1 gap type ) Nose Tackle i.e.Dexter Lawrence/ Greg Gaines/ Daylon Mack & Olive Sagapolu! In addition, signing a veteran NT type i.e. Brandon Mebane/ Steve McLendon & Tyeler Davison to go with our only remaining Ram NT 2nd yr player Sebastian Joseph-Day. This would be a excellent improvement.

Any of you heard of any Rams bars that will be around the MBS on game day?

Would like to pre-game with some like minded Rams fans.

McVay's time isn't here yet --to outcoach Bellyboy....meaning, if rams win, HE (McVay) is the best coach....and thus will become the greatest ever.....sorry, bady poetic english that fails on all fronts.

That's ok! ROD gives a lot of leeway for people with English as their 2nd language!

Yeah, with the CAPS LOCK it is just easier to come up with those rhyming couplets for this here hamhanded baby-boomer.

BTW, tough to come up with a rhyme for "Talib" eh! :headexplosion:

Great article. Overall, it seems like no one wants to give this guy credit still but we've seen it first hand.

That stupid non call robbed him of the credit he deserved for that game against NO.

The tickets with pre-game party from nfl on location / prime sport have dropped about $400 overnight.

Still hoping for further reductions tomorrow but can now but tickets from there for $3,150 inc fees. Hopefully not long before the secondary market inventory moves down to compensate.

The original quote you posted had all that information! I agree with you though. Mcvay is an outlier. Probably a cyborg.

Not sure why but I thought he meant Wade Phillips, using him as another reference of outstanding people don't unusual things.

I see that he meant Wes Phillips now.

Pro Tip: When two people who are potentially in the same conversation have the same last name, use first name instead or in addition to last names in order to avoid confusing idiots like me.

Yesssssss one of my favorite sports quotes of all time! And very appropo here. TB12 & Bill B are beatable as was Mariano. And we have our own Ernie Adams in McGenius.

NFL re-did its Top 10 Super Bowls ever. The older one which I have seen, Super Bowl 34 was considered the best Super Bowl in history. This new one counted down and it got down to #2, which they called the Giants defeat of the then perfect Patriots...

I knew the older video had 34 as the top, and it hadn't been mentioned at all in the episode, which meant to me "it's number one again..."

Nope.

#1 Super Bowl now to NFL Films is Cardinals vs Steelers. Are you kidding me? D'Marco Farr was one of the experts reacting to the list, and you could tell he was ticked because he remembers as well what I did, that Super Bowl 34 was #1 on the previous list...He said "Are you punking me right now?"

Can you say, "Recency Bias?" I knew you could.

We can't start out slow. We have to use Gurley and Anderson early and often.

Yep. The start is huge! We've gotta go out there and get things rolling right. We know they are gonna start hot, so we need to get settled and establish ourselves. We've got a 24 year old (albeit, calm headed) QB and a young coach - The Pats will be licking their lips, if they get up on us.

If we win this game, it all starts with Gurley/Anderson and the O-Line. We need to get the run game going, so that we can hit the big plays that the Pats are susceptible to (as are we). It also keeps Van Noy and Flowers honest, which is needed, because that Pats pass rush has come to life the last few weeks. Making the most of scoring opportunities will define this game. Gotta execute in the RZ.

On D...we all know the stats about Brady and sacks. If we don't generate pressure, he'll carve us up on those infuriating 12-15 play drives that sap 7/8mins off the clock. Without being pessimistic (but for anyone who's watched our D...), we are also likely to give up some big plays on Sunday (we rank 30th), so big time sacks, and forced turnovers (as always) will be huge for us if we can get em.

...well, with that piece of "captain obvious" posting from me....lets get this game underway! I'm already feeling the adrenaline! We've got the talent - We've just gotta execute!

What you said about Cappeletti :rolllaugh:

And you were right about the horns and unis. My two favorite helmets as a kid were the Rams and Vikings. Then watching them lined up against each other on the Minnesota tundra. Damn that was cool

Shout out to Shields and R.Wilson for filling in when we needed them, Blythe for not only filling in the RG position but improving the entire OL; and finally to Ebukam for sealing the deal on the most exciting regular season game in the history of the NFL.

I realize this is in another thread but I think it deserves its own as it was a great gesture.

Our Brandin Cooks went and paid for Super Bowl tickets, transportation, and lodging for the Rams Team Custodian and his son. Talk about making someone's day.

any chance your contract ran out. Can probably re-up and get back to the same original price

That's what my wife thinks as well. She does that every few months with satellite radio.

How Rams built a Super Bowl team with aggressive spending, fearless planning

Love the guy, he’s just not the same player he used to be.

Lmao at Chris Simms biting his tongue when King gave our young QB some of that cred he deserves.

Bah who wants to be down near the field anyway, with all the rich fucknuts drinking their chardonnay and looking at the boards to know when to cheer.
