Austin Expected to be Ready for Season Opener/ Hemingway Suffers Fractured Fibula and Injury Update

But tagging him next year would have been about 22m anyway, so its a marginal difference. This isnt like the Cousins situation where the team isnt sold on Carr being their guy. They clearly wanted him around long term so other than that roughly 3m savings, theres no upside in the tag for Carr, and getting the deal done early actually helps lower the cost long term because the QB market is only going to continue to grow.

Where as in Donald's situation, they have him at roughly 8m (i think?) for his 5th year and than his 1st tag year would be 17m (DE) or 14m (DT). A 2nd tag would result in about 20m (DE) or 17m (DT) price tag. And if Donald's asking price is the reported 20m, that means the Rams, if they so choose, can have Donald on a STEEP discount in year 5, a 3m or 6m discount in year 6 and 0 or 3m discount in year 7. Not giving Donald a new deal this early has much more benefits for the Rams than the Raiders would have with Carr. A more accurate situation to Donald would be OBJ, but even then its not quite the same because the WR tag would be closer to his new deal price tag, than the DE/DT tag price would be to Donald's new deal price tag.

Now whether you agree with the Rams reluctance to giving him a new deal is completely up to you, I'm just presenting the reasons why the Rams benefit from not being so eager to give him a new deal this early.

My Opinion, although it has no sway with the Front office, is the should pay Donald Now and get him into Camp!!

McVay post-game press conference

He DID say- when asked about the pick he said he "felt someone in his throat" and "came off" a bit - these are his words speaking about the pick which was after "the sack". I'd say he was absolutely fazed, fazed by the sack and the pick was the proof.

I don't want to come off as the kind that just defense Goff blindly, but when the guy gets sacked people want to throw a fit about how he needs to sense pressure. When he senses pressure and things don't go as planned (which is the whole point of brining pressure on the QB, mind you, because it usually causes bad things to happen) he's fazed or playing scared or something. Sometimes stuff happens. And he's not going to look perfect. He's going to screw stuff up. He has bugs to work out.

But no individual play is a microcosm of his career. He got sacked, threw a bad ball, and the run game was on. Instant replay isn't a fortune teller.

Why so few reps for Goff

I'll believe it when I see it.

NFL standard for 1s n the preseason, 1st game 1 quarter, 2nd game 1st half, 3rd game most or full game, 4th game play the guys trying to make the roster. Its a proven formula.

You may want to share that with the rest of the NFL, cause that formula hasnt been followed in a while. How many teams have the Rams played this preseason that followed that formula? Week 4 most if not all teams will sit starters so week 4 they follow the formula.

How Will the Rams use Gerald Everett this Year?

I hope so. Higbee got the call last night.



Yes that quick hands. Almost got inbounds on the end zone play. Mannion threw it low and inside too close to the defender.
Click to expand...
Agreed. Everett's ball skills are definitely on a different level imo. So much for small hands haha. And combine that with his YAC ability I can see why he was one of Mcvay's favorite prospects.

Expect a Big Day for Rivers & Gordon

LACHAMP46
I guess you called it....

How long did Rivers play??? I thought Gordon didn't do too much....


I like the backups playing...how do we know who to cut? Guys that can play against the ones, without Tree, Barron, Barwin, Quinn, Brockers and other "proven" players holding their hands.

finally got to see Longacre...Fox...Smart...LTP....Westbrooks (well, not really him) Purcell, and all those LB's....but see those guys play by themselves...

5 Bold Predictions ...

Five Bold Predictions for the Rams’ Future Preseason Victory Against the Chargers

Get ready for a big spoonful of spoilers as I triumphantly return to my Los Angeles Rams guessing game.

So, after last week’s preseason victory against the Oakland Raiders, I’m feeling a bit cocky about my bold predictions. Let’s take a look back, shall we?

Jamon Brown is going to keep his job in a triumphant effort.

Maybe that wasn’t so bold because of the lack of depth, but whatever. Brown wasn’t a garbage fire and some would argue that he was pretty OK. See? I’m great at this.

I see Watkins with two targets and one reception for 8 yards.

That is some Scooby-Doo level of spooky. Seriously. Check the box score. Ok, I only got the yards and not the number of catches. Minor detail.

The rangy wideout is going to make the plays of the game, making a spectacular diving catch in the end zone — twice.

That was my prediction for Josh Reynolds getting two touchdowns, which he got one. You know what? Typing this out, it’s not as impressive as it was in my brain. Still bold, though.

Justin Davis will not fumble the ball and he will turn heads, break ankles, and prove to the coaching staff that he should be the backup to Todd Gurley

OK, so he didn’t turn heads or break ankles, but Davis didn’t have any fumbles. Baby steps.

I am now done with my insufferable bragging. On with the boldness for the preseason matchup between the Los Angeles Rams and Los Angeles Chargers:

  1. RB Malcolm Brown is going to be the star of the game, breaking several runs in an impressive showing that will place him as the clear backup to Todd Gurley. 95 yards on 13 carries and 2 touchdowns.
  2. LB Corey Littleton is going to get a sack and a half in a dominant performance. This guy is hungry to prove himself and tonight is going to be a persuasive argument that he belongs on this roster. Speaking of Corey, that’s kind of a rough name for a football player. You know what’s a great name? Matt Longacre. But Corey? Littleton? Not intimidating. However, I feel that Littleton is going to get over that massive obstacle by smacking Phillip Rivers into the turf one and half times.
  3. And how about 2 interceptions for everyone’s favorite 3rd round safety, John Johnson? Number 43 has looked good in practice as of late and it’s time for the rookie to shine. This guy also has a lot of personality, so look for him to talk a lot of trash to the Chargers receivers (before their inevitable limping off to the locker room to get examined).
  4. Sadly, my boldness doesn’t always go positive for the Rams. I feel that QB Jared Goff is going to sling it a little too aggressively tonight, tossing 3 interceptions to the other team. But he’s still going to make some great plays because he’s my favorite player on the Rams and I can’t go too negative on the guy. #GoffProBowl2018
  5. And lastly, TE Tyler Higbee is going to prove me wrong that he’s the most overrated player on the Rams. He’s going to light it up tonight, especially with his blocking (he probably got yelled at for his terrible blocking all week by his coaches this past week). Higbee has a lot of potential and I feel that he’s going to put it together tonight with a spectacular touchdown reception from Sean Mannion in the second half.
Those are my five bold predictions. Do you agree or disagree?

Let’s scream our heads off for the Rams tonight as they destroy the Chargers in a beautiful display of dominance. And remember, rent is due on the 1st.

Alec Ogletree still looking for a new deal

oh geez....who's idea was it to have all these guys contracts expire at the same time?
Click to expand...

Well, part of the problem is the Fisher regime gave priority to elevating Tavon's contract over more dependable players like 'Tree. I really like Tavon and his potential, but I always hoped he could benefit from tutelage of ex-Horn greats like Isaac Bruce. However, it seemed to me as though Tavon's old roommate, Stedman Baily, was benefitting more from his limited association with Isaac than Tavon himself.

Meanwhile, 'Tree has quietly emerged as a team leader within the last few years and was more deserving than Tavon of having his contract elevated first. Even Mark Barron was given a blockbuster contract before 'Tree. Granted, they wanted to hold onto Mark, but you have to do a serious & thorough job of defining the pecking order within your team's core group. Is Mark really more important than 'Tree?

When you are building a team with numerous budding stars, contract management becomes so critical. You can't just give inflated contracts to players until they have earned it. Besides the very real fact that it can upset future contract negotiations, it can impart a negative effect on athletes who correctly see themselves as more deserving than the player(s) who had their contracts inflated.
