So What if We Had Drafted Dan Marino?

or Jim Kelly in the 1983 NFL Draft? We drafted the great Eric Dickerson in 1983, bypassing Richard Dent, Daryl Green, Kelly and Marino. John Robinson was a ground and pound kind of guy that wouldn't pass up a HOF running back, most likely. But what if we had taken a HOFer QB in 1983? Qould we have won a Super Bowl with him?

Jaylen McCullough article

Versatile, lanky, and aggressive, Jaylen McCollough cut his teeth playing football down south, and the animalistic culture surrounding SEC football has bred some of the best defensive backs in the NFL.

But it's deeper than that. It's a football identity formed on the harsh gridirons in McCollough's native Georgia – a high school recruiting hotbed that McCollough's play earned him a four-star ranking and an eventual scholarship.


While he fell through the cracks in the pre-draft process, McCollough brings those experiences and mentality front and center when he shines as the Rams' newest defensive star. The undrafted free agent out of Tennessee surprised many during training camp and after a strong preseason, McCollough has been an irreplaceable part of the Rams' defense.

Like another safety from the south, Derwin James, McCullough has been asked to play various roles that have carved out a unique position for him. He'll fluctuate between getting close to the line of scrimmage and dropping deep, he's an excellent tackler and has been used to plug the run. He's often assigned to the running back, displaying excellent discipline to not get faked out on play actions and wheel routes.

On Sunday, McCollough put in a season-high nine tackles against the Jets but none of those were as crucial as his coverage on Breece Hall in the endzone. McCollough's discipline and technique forced Aaron Rodgers to throw an uncatchable ball at the end of the first half. The Jets settled for three points to it would be their last score of the game. That play served as a crucial turning point in the Rams' 19-9 victory and now the team is one step closer to clinching the NFC West.

McCollough is also tied for ninth in the league with four interceptions, with his ball skills dissuading teams from throwing his way. McCollough's interceptions have played a pivotal role as his two against Las Vegas kickstarted the Rams' recent run of success and his pick against Seattle disrupted their offensive strategy to the point of ineffectiveness.


Thanks to one undrafted rookie signing, the Rams have their safety for the future. A gem waiting to be discovered, McCollough is not only one of the best undrafted free agents of 2024, he's one of the best players in the entire draft class period.


Panthers beat RedBirds

My cousins Son is David Canales. It has no doubt been a tough year for David taking over a squad with a psychologically damaged QB from last years draft, but I admire the way the team is playing for lately, and he might get something out of Bryce yet. Today, his team did the Rams a solid by beating the Cardinals. I hope he gets another year to keep the improvements coming for his team. Proud of you David, and thank you for beating one of our division rivals!

PLAYOFF Seeding

I feel confident enough about our chances now to get in to start thinking about who we might face in the wildcard round. As things stand right now we have moved up to the 3rd seed, which means we would play the 6th seed in the first round. Here's how it looks right now:

* 1st Lions (13-2)
- 2nd Eagles (12-3)
- 3rd Rams (9-6)
- 4th Bucs (8-6) <Sunday Night game vs Cowpokes>
- 5th Vikings (12-2) <Playing now vs Seahawks>
- 6th Packers (10-4) <Monday Night game vs Saints>
- 7th Commodes (10-5)

8th Seahawks (8-6) <Playing now vs Vikings>
9th Falcons (8-7)

Worst matchup for us of the lower half seeded teams would probably be the Packers.

Game Day Thread

The GDT is a live thread tradition here at ROD.

While we all get fired up watching the game, please remember our core principles; we always show respect for our team and each other.

Despite the emotional highs and lows watching a game, we will moderate this thread with that in mind, however please refrain from name calling. This applies to players, the Rams organization, and each other.

This is the core rule of the GDT. Moderators are tasked to issue thread bans, at a minimum, to maintain this standard.

This is our team. Win or lose. Good days and bad. We are here for FUN, not to be dragged down.

A more loosely moderated atmosphere can be found in the chat room.

Go Rams!

Oline Rankings

Stumbled across this article. Not sure if it has been posted or referenced but shows some interesting things.

The offensive line metric (OL+) they use combines pressure and sack rate stats with time-to-throw data then adds in ESPN Pass Block (PBWR) and Run Block Win Rate (RBWR) stats.

A Few Tidbits:

Rams Oline Ranks 5th in the NFL over the last four weeks
and 13th overall on the year.
Jets rank 27th and suck pretty bad, but Rodgers gets the ball out quick. Get on the short pass game of Rodgers Mr. Shula!
Cardinals are at a respectable 11 and Seattle 30!
Denver Oline is #1.
Suprisingly, Lions at 21 last 4 weeks and falling off a bit.


Also posting the ESPN NFL Team win rankings below.

Legend for columns below:
PRWR = Pass rush win rate
RSWR = Run stopping win rate
PBWR = Pass blocking win rate
RBWR = Run blocking win rate

Gameday Menu Thread!

I am frustrated but tomorrow was the only day that made sense for our travels for the holidays.

I will be listening on the radio.

Menu will include gas stations food and drinks and short stops for the dogs along the way.

Driving 8ish hours to my sisters house to celebrate and be together for a few days. We have plenty of meals planned for these days; ham and potatoes, Asian food day, birria, etc.

But tomorrow we are likely grabbing some coffee and warm food for the drive.

Tuning in for the game on Sirius.

If i was home I think we'd be making breakfast garbage plates.

What are you all making?
