From what I read last year when Forbes was picked-up off-waivers, one key factor was the skill-set Ron Rivera wanted from his cornerbacks vs. the skill-set Dan Quinn preferred.
Both were former, successful defensive coordinators but with different philosophies. Forbes was drafted when Rivera was still the head coach; and he did not fit with what Quinn wanted one year later.
Like I stated to a post with Oldschool.The Rams didn’t give up 2 1st rd picks. They thought 1 season ahead.
Les Snead is excellent at mid season trades.Weather it be for the season or the future.He almost seems to be magic with some of his pickups.
IMO besides picking up Roger McCreary for the cheap.He & The Rams kept some money on the table for The Trade Deadline.
The thing I think which could not be True ? I don’t get into contracts anymore,but the thought of how they evolve as a Franchise.WE can ALL look back,but with this group such as Kyren & his signing.NOW Signing LANDMAN mid/season.Dies that go on this season books as well to get to that CAP Level ??
Like I said I don’t know,but the thought of Landman being that mid/season trade in a Cap sense seems like a good idea in theory??
I know most around here know more than myself on this.Maybe I can get my mind clear.I’ve been told a lot this week about different topics on sports of how F”d up I am,or at least proven wrong.
I still think USC has had the tougher schedule as an example.Then Penn State at -#3 shouldn’t have as much of a reason. —Plus I had a thought about the coaches poll & when it started.
The NBA & college BBall Players & History? Comparing 1960’s to 2020 doesn’t work well.Then go back to Thorpe & how those Players were treated as other examples.
