Todd Gurley 1-on-1 with Marshall Faulk

LesBaker
Gurley said "one thing I learned about LA is if you ain't winning or doing good they could care less about you".

(obviously he means couldn't care less but that's a common mistake I have friends that say it all the time drives me nuts)

This is just true in every market and every sport. It's so expensive these days that it's difficult to garner support even with 20+million people in a market. Sports have become so prevalent these days and there are so many options that people will bandwagon if they aren't entertained.

LA Times: Brockers

Huh Brockers at DE. I seem to remember a couple people saying we should put him there before the season and catching a lot of grief for that. Too bad we didn't draft a run stuffing NT because Smart as a rotational DE would have been great behind Brockers and AD.

Give Smart a chance. He's a squatty dude who brings a ton of energy. Wade loves those undersized NTs who can get into the backfield. I want to see what he can develop into as he gets more comfortable in the scheme.

This time in history (2000)

Mackeyser
Kurt and the GSOT were the best.

Others scored more in a season, but much of that was Kurt and Co on the bench midway through the 3rd quarter because they'd already dropped a 40 burger and were up 40-17 and were playing for a championship.

If this were more like college where point differential mattered and running up the score wasn't frowned upon, I could easily see the GSOT averaging over 40ppg.

I can't imagine the numbers if Kurt and Co played pedal to the metal for 60 mins.

Seattle Sports Media Freaking...

Ram65
I endured the the entire podcast.

Found out the Hags offensive line has jelled. o_O Eddie Lacy will get carries and needs a little space to get going. Hope he gained another 20 Lbs since camp ended. They really did get why Goff looked bad last year. Marcus Smith bust in Phila replaced Avril and had a sack and half with a fumble last week. One of the guys was OK.

I'm right with you..last night shook me a little.

However, I believe Cooper Kupp is legit. I believe Todd Gurley is going to have a big year. I believe Sammy Watkins is the first #1 WR we have had since a healthy Torry Holt. Reynolds could become our next #1 WR..Everrett!!! All of these weapons will make Goff much better than we saw last night. It may be there are some things that Goff can fix in his game. WITH them:
Goff 4500 yards, 30 TD's, 12 INTS....that was my prediction before last nights game. I am still saying that, but now it's half prayer/half conviction...

How Rams Coach Sean McVay Turned Around the Worst Offense in the NFL

I've said it before and I'll say it again...

It is sooooo refreshing to see a team where, if they go down by double digits, you do not feel doomed.

I just sat there last week, amongst all those DAL fans... going down by double digits twice but never feeling like the Rams weren't still in that game and had a real chance to win it.

Down 17-6... down 24-13... but, still, felt they were still in that game.

It's simply remarkable what this coaching staff has been able to accomplish in such a short period of time.

We'll see what happens Sunday but last week filled my belly with enough satisfaction to last a while.

Tavon Austin - can we draw a line in the sand?

Dxmissile said:
Lol it does matter what his cap hit is in a given year. That’s how they know what contracts to restructure how much cap they have left. You wanna worry about how much the guy contract cost while I’m more worried about what it prohibits the team from doing and right now that’s absolutely nothing. His contract isn’t stopping the team from signing Donald, tru or anyone else so therefore why worry.
The guy has more touchdowns then just about any wr in his draft class on arguably the worst teams in nfl history so yeah for a team that was devoid of talent yeah sometimes you gotta overpay for the only threat you have.

If you pay $45K for a $20K car it doesn't matter if the 1st year is cost free. You're still overpaying $25K. You still have to account for the whole $45K and in the Rams - Austin scenario we don't even get to account for it 3 or 4 years down the line when a higher cap figure would make it easier to absorb. We're overpaying up front. Worst of all Worlds. Yes, we could sign Donald right now...and extend Johnson, but money is a team resource and this team resource is limited by the league. Wasting it on 2nd or 3rd tier talent is partly why we don't have Donald, Johnson, Jenkins, McDonald, and McLeod all still together.

What other WRs in his Draft class have done is irrelevant, as is the level of talent on the team.
...and no, the 2016 Rams weren't devoid of talent. We had a very good defense. ;)
Whatever, i'm going to enjoy the weekend and Austin's 6 TDs against the Seahawks. (y)
