I drove through Austria with my parents in a Karmann Ghia on the way to Italy as a boy. A beautiful place. Always good to know we have Rams fans here at ROD from all over the world. (y) We have a Member Map at the top of the page for those who are interested.

Anyone have Psoriasis

Pancake
I have had it since I was around 13 years old. At one point it covered most of my body but I was lucky and it went into remission for about 10 years. It wasn't until I was in my 30's that it came back. I've been able to keep it under control though. Here is my advise and what worked for me. Don't use any type of creams or ointments that contain steroids. If you read up on that you'll find out they make things worse in the long run. Also the tar based creams and ointments do nothing except make a mess. What I found was the very best treatment was good old sunshine. It's most effective from the end of spring and on through summer. You can also get UVB treatment from special tanning beds.

I hope you can find something that works for your son. It's a terrible disease that really hurts your self esteem . Especially for a child.

Now that McVay is in, maybe Desean Jackson comes to as a FA?

No but I see Pierre Garcone coming in! I pray we pick him up and retain Britt or make a move for Alshon Jefferey. Can you imagine Jefferey/Garcone, Britt, Tavon. any of our 4th or 5th WR's? Talk about opening up the field for one another! Tavon would go off and the box would no longer be stacked on Gurley! Now... about that bastard o line!

Has Phillips even said whether or not he still wants to coach at going on 70 ??? I'm not going to get all giddy or assume it's not a good move...I've done that far too many times over the years...They will hire who they want and we'll see how it works out...I've seen "wow, so and so along with with so and so, can anybody stop them ??"way, way too many times..I'll just sit back and watch it unfold...I said after the season that I would do that and I'm going to do it for once...Good luck Rams...Hope they get it right...

If I understand it correctly, when a person goes into a HC interview, their staff list isn't a wish list, it's a list of a staff that they CAN GET. It's people they know, they've talked with and WILL COME if called. Now, they aren't exclusive lists, necessarily, which is why teams want to hire as early as possible.

But THAT is why McVay having Wade Philips on his list was so huge. It means that Wade Philips talked with Sean McVay in real terms about taking the LA Rams DC job if asked and he said yes.

Now...at the time, he hadn't been asked to stay in Denver.

As of this moment, there are conflicting reports out there. Vance Joseph has reportedly asked Wade Philips to stay in Denver while the reporting is that Wade Philips IS EXPECTED to join Sean McVay with the Rams.

But the inclusion of the name by McVay wasn't an idle inclusion like if we were asked to name who we'd start an NFL franchise with. No, this was real.

I have a feeling that the battle for Wade Philips is raging and both sides are putting on the full-court press.

Bills hire Sean McDermott

Goff will gain confidence with success. He is a rookie who may be above his current comfort level. There are 84 other players on this team, most of whom need a swift kick in the ass instead of a pat on the hiney. I want a guy that will enforce his will and not coddle players. McVey is just way too young and inexperienced for my liking.

That's just not everyone's path to success.

Not everyone responds to the "drill sergeant" type.

I'm former military and I respond to several different types of coaching/training. I'm pretty malleable. Others aren't.

Since talent is a pretty rare commodity at the highest levels, it's the BETTER manager that can harness that talent than impose his will.

Seems to me, anyway. imho

Many coaching candidates are VERY HIGH on Jared Goff.

Lol'ing so hard if you think Bradford would've turned out any differently. Injuries or not, that staff was never gonna let him reach his neighborhood of potential. As previous posters have stated, Fisher would've demanded more and more check downs in an unimaginative, conservative offense. How do you spell Jeff Fisher? Q-B-K-I-L-L-E-R

Thankfully, Goff will be in great hands with a coach he can relate and growth with. Coach McVay will be the choice TAKE IT TO THE BANK!

That's exactly what Bradford did this year under Shurmur. That's what Bradford was always comfortable doing.

Johnny Hekker named NFC Special Teams Player of the Month

Punters are better than ever, which may not be good for the NFL

The 2016 season was the best ever for punters in the NFL. Maybe that’s a bad thing.

According to statistics posted by Jaguars Senior V.P. Tony Khan, the 2016 season was the best since at least 2000 in a wide variety of categories.

The average of 40.1 net yards per punt was the best ever. The percentage of punts landed inside both the 20-yard line (38.8 percent) and inside the 10-yard line (13.8 percent) was the best ever. The average post-punt field position of the receiving team’s own 25-yard line was the worst ever. And there were more punts of 70 or more yards than ever before.

But that’s not necessarily a good thing. Punts are among the most boring plays in football. There’s a reason that the Red Zone Channel usually cuts away from punts. The Rams were perhaps the most boring team in the NFL last season, even though their punter, Johnny Hekker, was the best in the league.

Fans enjoy scoring and the very nature of punting is to prevent scoring — it’s the offense giving up, and trying to put the other team as far away from scoring as possible. Occasionally something exciting happens in the NFL, with a blocked punt or a punt return touchdown, but that’s exceedingly rare: There were 2,335 punts in the NFL last season, with just 10 returned for touchdowns and seven blocked.

The NFL could consider some rules changes that would make punts more exciting, such as requiring the punting team to give the returner two yards of space to make the catch — the old “halo rule” that college football dropped in 2003. However, a rule that would encourage more returns could result in more injuries on returns, and the NFL has already shown with its changing rules on kickoffs that that’s the last thing the league office wants.

And so we may be stuck with a league in which punters are dominant, to the detriment of the excitement of the game.
