I'd love to see Jourdan do an interview with Les on this time period and draft and what the Rams did behind the scenes to change their approach. Because I am convinced something significant was achieved in their analysis of how they were drafting and we have been on a roll benefitting from it since.
In 2022, when Blake was hired full-time out of Stanford’s MBA program, she and Temme began installing a process to turn the anecdotal moments in a decision-making process, such as Hill’s voice changing, into quantifiable evidence for or against the selection of a player during the crucial minutes of a pick.
Gathering this information also helps Blake engage in unique debates with Snead away from the rest of the group. On a particular day in January, Snead moved a player up one bucket on his call sheet and moved another down when the area scout expressed his excitement about the first player and as Gladstone drew out a comparison between the two.
During a break, Snead poked his head into Blake’s office. Didn’t Snead think he should simply expand the bucket instead of moving the second player out of it, she asked. The coaching staff, who would soon begin its first wave of draft evaluations, would get an initial exposure to only that first bucket of players, with the next bucket to follow a few weeks after. Getting on coaches’ desks in the first bucket is often a good thing for the player, but if the scouting staff was able to compare the first player to the second — unaware of the movement by Snead on the call sheet — shouldn’t the coaches do the same?
Funny you say this because that year may literally be the only year I got anything right.I was so blown away by Greg Robinson's size and thinking there's
our LT for next 12yrs. I'm not sure about this A Donald he is too
small to take that high. oh well at least we got a stud at LT.
I do apologize sir but I am the king of the worst armchair GM's!![]()
First thing I thought when I saw his face... kinda creepy.Pretty cool of Jared Goff to put that video out.
“bigly”?I have to disagree with you there
slo mo.
The ROD whipping boy is definitely Troy Reeder.
We've seen Troy Reeder as a starter and a veteran and he's extremely limited.
At least Derion Kendrick has potential to improve and contribute.
Hell, he was only a six rounder. I could see him making a huge comeback and contributing bigly.
*grabs saxophone...Neither were @Loyal and Joe Pendleton![]()
2 things,
1) He was traded after 2 seasons, not 3
2) There is a thread for funny meme's and stuff:

I feel 'ya.This is true. No way in hell I could stomach Cowboy games.![]()
That was my thought as well,but now from looking at the growth of The Rams DE’s imo they’ll try to do that more in tandem.Look for J.Stewart to be that guy as well.@Merlin it sounds like your hunch was right. If I heard it correctly Brennan Jackson is being groomed for Hoecht’s role.
Some similarities, absolutely. But a notable difference is that the Eagles held on "by the hair of their skinny teeth teeth" whenThat game had similarities to the Eagles game last year.
He was on a shitty team. He is not now. chances of him improving from last year are good. I think steelers will giving the Ravens a run for their money.Rodgers has looked a shadow of the player he once was for some time now. There's a lot of "living off his name" going on these days.
The main reason for me is to see if any of the rookies look good. Even against vanilla schemes and other rookies sometimes a player just looks better than the rest. Speights did last year imo.Every preseason I ask myself, why am I even watching preseason games?
And every year I find myself watching them.
Same, My dad always had a Bonneville. My sister and I still have a 67 Firebird in storage. Trying to get started restoring it. Wide track Pontiac is in my blood.Yeah, I have been a Pontiac nut case since birth. My dad had a 62 Catalina convertible when I was very young. Next car, Pontiac and my first car was that GTO.
I just bracket race it these days. Needs a paint job but it has quite the engine I built myself. 700ish horsepower 461. High Port heads, big solid roller, 1050 Dominator, custom headers and all that. 15-20K into the engine.
I will probably paint it myself after I retire in 6-7 years as a full paint job is 10-12 K these days. But my engine looks GREAT !
They call the GTO The Goat. Rams are sheep............. so it all fits. I was born for this.
Looking pretty goodWhat’s the projection for 2026?
