"E tu, Memento?" ~ Will Hayes

Fate, I love William Hayes and Eugene Sims both. Hayes' work with the homeless is inspiring, and I will always respect Eugene Sims for taking the time out of his day after a hard game to talk with me and my folks after we went on the field after the Thordaddy game.

I still think AD is just...yeah. I've accepted that he's probably not coming back out of retirement. We've left the door open, but he's accomplished everything he's ever wanted, and I have so much respect for the man with whatever choice he makes.

Great series. Definitely a very horrifying look at what happened (happens) to get someone high in the USA.

Wtf happened with Bruss? Mis-evaluated, never recovered from injuries or did he just give up.

Total miss evaluation. He was injured but that doesn't seem to have been the issue.

Oh, and Jones play was the best.

Article might be worth reading but the podcast isnt worth listening to. No new news.

So Ram said:

Yeah - but bringing this article to Life like it was something new ?

Just an observation without really checking ? Was he on The Rams 53 when they played Detroit ? Winn was & cost then Earnest Brown who the Niners poached from The Rams.

I just feel that many looked at Drake Stoops who is short, slow and does not offer anything on special teams. Smith got his feet wet last year, is much faster and has experience as a punt returner so IMO, the Rams are better off with Smith making the squad then Stoops iMHO.

Maybe he can avoid the double teams if he plays under a pseudonym like Leon Sandcastle. How about Darren Arnold?

I wanna hear why Jared wanted to be on the same team damn it!

Curious ain't it?

Pass. Zay Jones has durability issues. Rams need new and cheaper young bloods.

I'd gladly give Stokes a shot next year.

Y'all know I loved the McClendon pick because he honestly reminds me of a mini-Havenstein. Very technical, understands leverage, surprisingly powerful for his weight. He's probably made huge gains.

Leveston may have to wait a bit...but I think he could be really good as well. Played left tackle at K-State next to Beebe at left guard. Obviously, he's not going to be a left tackle in the pros, and Beebe obviously helped a lot, but he's a big guy who has solid feet and powerful hands.

I'm stunned Limmer fell to us. I was glad they picked Davis, happy that we drafted Karty, ecstatic that we drafted Whittington (you should've heard me in my room; I was screaming like a Justin Bieber fangirl when we picked Whittington), but Limmer should've never been there; they could've picked him at Brennan Jackson's spot, and I'd have been happy with it. This sixth round could be our version of the 2023 fifth round.

Then you have the bubble players: Zach Thomas, Logan Bruss, A.J. Arcuri, and Mike McAllister, along with the UDFAS (Justin Dedich and Blake Larson), and Grant Miller (who I...just don't see it with him). I figure one of them is going to make this roster and maybe one or two will make the practice squad. McAllister, I don't think has a shot with us...but if he impresses, I'd definitely trade him for a conditional pick or another potential bubble player at a position of need (cornerback or inside linebacker).

It feels like a pass rush of Donald, Turner, Fiske, Young, and Verse would be the best pass rush we've seen in well over a decade.

Without a doubt. Hope we get to see it in the playoffs too. Never know.

side note

I can use my phone as a hot spot if I need to.

That’s pretty good Loyal - thanks for that

People saying the AFC West floors me. They have two teams that are going to be bad, and then one in the Chargers who is probably a year away, while the Chiefs are ready to have a good regular season for the first time in a while

PhillyRam said:

Not saying that it was, just saying the Covid excuse is just that...an excuse.

Bigger issue will remain and that's NIL.

Maybe but that has to eventually even out. Then it will get back to the norm of some drafts being deep and others being very shallow. In some years even round 1 ends up not having many stars come out of it.

Merlin said:

This. If I'm his agent I'm telling him teams needs to be his primary focus this season to ensure he makes the roster.

Easier said than done.If that was the case he would have already been a head of the game.The New Rule will hurt his chances of making The Rams roster.

PARAM said:

isn't the Falcons QB situation actually better than the Rams, with respect to the plan of progression? And that's because they took Penix

Click to expand...

Definitely.
If Cousins quits tomorrow or gets knocked out for the year, the Falcons have his replacement. At least a potential replacement.

If Stafford goes quits after this season or gets a lengthy injury, we’re screwed.

It's totally weird, I went back to university in my late 40's and only learned the rules after that. Everything I learned is n a separate file in my brain that I must purposely access to remember, which I rarely do on this forum.. I only remember when in editing mode.

Keep doing you. It's fine. We enjoy it.
