Well - 2025 is starting of TRAINING CAMP- predictions

-Hard call,but Xavier Smith is underrated as a player. His special teams skills were top on The Rams.
He was the 1st player down as a gunner. Was a returner.

I just wish it was in L.A. Nah, on second thought let's knock them out in front of their fans. Won't be snowing this time.

Bert Jones was pretty good. Totally forgot he spent his last season with the Rams.

If the LA RAMS had gotten him seven years earlier there would have been a couple more Lombardi Trophies in the case.

I just went on to CBSSports.com web site to review the Rams depth chart.

Now I realize these depth charts this time of year are often inaccurate, and to take them with a grain of salt. (For example Nate Landman is listed behind dead-man-walking Troy Reeder, and we all know Reeder probably won’t ultimately be starting) But in reviewing the offense something was missing….hmm…no Guard position players. At all. Maybe they are listed under Center, you know like interior lineman? Nope. Dotson, Avilla, etc. omitted from the depth chart.

So I thought huh. Must be an aberration. And I went into the Whiners page. Sure enough. No Guards listed. Check it out yourself.

What morons. Who’s running their site? Kind of a first-world football fan problem. But I’m calling those guys out.

Dummies.

That is all

By all accounts, Hunter is a quick study in absorbing & assimilating offensive details. So he may hit the field quicker and more frequently than most rookie RBs under the McVay regime. As always the key issue for the Leprechaun is the following:

Sean (to Hunter): "If I allow you on the football field in a real game, will Matthew remain healthy with respect to your pass protection efforts? You see, we are trying to complete a successful Super Bowl run here."

Why ? The Rams are not in that position. If the top guy gets hurt there are 2 other talented guys.

I was responding negatively to the use of a Rams bell cow RB. Committed seems the smarter approach.

Sorry, but I gotta bitch again. I can’t stand hitting the link for articleswhere the first thing they do is ask you for more money to read shit that everybody else gives you for free. I had to get that off my chest.
It’s like going to Subway and being asked to give a tip to somebody who merely made a sandwich for me.

Click to expand...

No doubt. Worst thing is as a diehard fan it's not like that shit is going to be worth the money. You probably know more about the Rams than he does. Only thing they can offer is direct info from the team.

And the tip thing is out of fucking control in American society. Bottom line is tips go to someone who waits on you. And in rare circumstances someone who you know went out of their way, above and beyond, to take care of you or make you comfortable. The fucking entitlement is some BS though I do tend to avoid the places that bring that shit to the fore.

I mean I refuse to overpay for coffee or tea for example, when coffee at home is as good or usually better. And they're notorious for that tip pushing shit, as well as "do you want to give to x" bullshite. Also I still get pissed when my wife and I are leaving the pet store and she gives money to the popup option to help shelters or whatever. Not because I have a problem giving money to shelters. But because I suspect none of it makes it to the actual animals. And that goes for any "do you want to give" option for that matter.

I think there is ... What I don't see much of anymore is accountability.

Colin Cowherd has been guilty of putting-out unverified information to stir-the-pot for years.

Yeah, I thought Brian Smith was going to be a beast. He was a 6'6' 250 lb OLB out of Auburn... 2nd rd pick. Never did a thing...was as average as his name.

Hawkins tore up his knee in his rookie preseason. Never seemed to recover from it.

Frank Stams was average at best.

Darryl Henley is still in jail I believe.

Aaron Cox had his moments, but basically a Tu Tu Atwell type...just too small.

Gaston Green couldn't break a tackle.

Cleveland Gary couldn't hold onto a football.

What a disappointing mess.

They did have some late round role players/contributors that helped get them to the NFCCG in 89'. Guys like Robert Delpino, George Bethune, Mark Messner, Michael Stewart, and Mike Piel, but it was a missed opportunity.

“Henley is currently serving a 41-year prison sentence for trafficking cocaine and attempting to murder the judge and a witness from his trial by hiring contract killers.” Sheesh…!

Very cool. Thanks for sharing that!

Really love the autographed Joe Klopfenstein photo.

2019 Tunsil lead the league with 17 penalties, including 14 false starts

2024 Tunsil led the league with 19 penalties, with 6 in a loss against the Minnesota Vikings

Dropped in the draft. Traded twice. Can't figure out why.

30 penalties accepted the last 2 years. Alaric? 11.

I would never do what Mr. Baumgartner did. I am deathly terrified of heights. Still, I can respect a person who dies doing what they love. Still, I'd prefer a female variation of how Tyrion wants to go:

Is this the narrative around him now?

Reporters and content creators have admitted to visiting fan forums to get talking points. This seems like the case here. Who asks a professional wrestler his unqualified opinion on the upcoming NFL season? He was probably given things to say.

Maybe this leads to an upcoming Wrestlemania cameo, where Puka kicks his ass with a new move called ‘The Game Changer’.

The great thing about a RB who always gets 3-5 yds / run? He'll hit paydirt if you get close.

Kyren has that special ability to find the end zone. And that is not always true
with backs of similar abilities as his. some backs just raise their game when they
smell the end zone. He kind of reminds me of Marshawn Lynch
(minus the dumb coach and the bad qb)

I just got Phil Steeles 2025 College Football Preview and was cross checking some of his rankings from his 2022 and 2024 Previews. He had Emmanuel Forbes ranked as his #1 CB going into the 2022 season. Forbes was picked #16 in the 2023 draft, so that was a pretty solid evaluation. It didn't work out in Washington for whatever reason. Rivera's last year and then Quinn's first year might have had something to do with it. But if the kid can play anywhere near his projections (by multiple sources), the Rams have stolen a valuable piece of D.

Well Rams are on this list . IMO The Rams CB’s show up and make a name for themselves.

I take it for what it’s worth.There are things that go into that are unaccounted for.

Like above poster the numbers might not show up as whole,but when you look at the production it adds up to 2 excellent}1 type WR’s.

There’s a reason The Rams(Mcvay) went after D. Adams & released Cooper Kupp.

I like the WR & add 12 personnel as well with 4 TE’s The Rams are going to be dangerous.We as Ram Fans should know this if 2024 is a reflection.

IMO Sean Mcvay is going to do a lot better in his play calling & things upfront should settle in nicely.

I saw RT when I was just out of HS. It was a small venue called the Keystone in Palo Alto, CA. It was renamed the Edge many years ago. I was within 20 feet of the stage.

He was fucking awesome, with Jack Bruce still with him on bass and more importantly, vocals. An absolutely fantastic show.

Bridge of Sighs should be in every audiophile’s collection.

Thanks for this reminder. I’m gonna get into that album for a few days.

They had a pretty good plan overall I think. Rolled the dice on OT and might have gotten burned, but we will see.

OT, CB, and QBotF are up next.

The grief is real. One thing I hate to hear is "Its just a dog". No it's not just a dog. He's a big part of my family. He loves me despite any flaws. Unconditionally. One day I'll be in heaven. Maybe God will explain to me why they can't live as long as we do. Maybe it's because there will always be another one who needs us. You can't change the world but you can change one dog's world.

I hate those bolded words. "It's just a dog/cat/other animal."

No, they're not. You make positive memories with them, you play with them, they trust you, and they're not pets; they're a part of your life, a part of your family. My golden retriever, Granger, was my very first friend as a young autistic toddler. My Maine Coon/Russian Blue, Phoenix, was a cat I named, and I was one of the rare people he trusted.

Hell, I grieved the loss of one of the rats I had cared for, one of two sisters named Lightning and Thunder, who always were excited to see me whenever I went to the house to see them and interact with them (technically, they were my brother's rats, but they were always closer to me than him), and I cared for a bunny named Bolt when his owner (my sister) was moved to Utah, even though he mostly stayed at my folks' house.

And now Fane (Labradoodle) and Destiny (gray tabby cat) are part of my inner circle as well, even though I can't see them all the time. They're family to me, and I love them as much as I loved Granger and Phoenix.

I hate it when people say that those animals are "just animals" or "just pets". If you make positive memories with them when you have them, they're a part of your family.

Seems like when we've earned a fast start, we always have a semi-deflating swoon somewhere near the middle of the season.

My hopes and expectations are to make the playoffs. Period. Don't care how we get there just want to be there.

McVays teams do seem to have a oct-nov sort of fade to them....except the ones that start badly enough they cant afford a November fade.
