Possible but Marshall Faulk was such a great receiver as well as a runner.
Yeah he was. I thought about him but I felt we'd benefit more from Gurley's running and he was a good receiver, too. Either one works.

The most intriguing one for me would be AD. Do other teams score against us if we add him to the pass rush?

Well the alternative is McVay takes a salary cut to give Shula some extra $$$ as an incentive to stay. Or when we win the Super Bowl and McVay threatens to retire (again) to get more money, we shakes hands and wish him luck on his retirement.

I like what McVay is doing with the offense this season and IMO the best coaching job of his Rams tenure, but losing Shula is going to hurt.

Bruddah, your stream of consciousness writing style is a staple here at RoD.
You're a true fan. Never change!

Happy Thanksgiving!
Thanks - The Les(Snead) I post. The better job The Rams are doing.

This Rams Franchise is in an amazing place.There’s SO many parts to this Organization NOW!!

Just this week Mcvay talked about McCay & what he means to The Rams Pro Scouting as a little example.

AD99 - is who Mcvay leaned on to help be a Leader.I saw Big WHIT & John Sullivan show that Leadership on the Offensive Line Day 1 with there First Game 1 scrimmage at Dominguez..Big Rob has taken over that role with Warren & that group.

WE are Blessed & I give Thanks to this Franchise Stan(Demoff) has helped build!!! It’s nice & I’m thanks & grateful 4 ROD !!
 
Highest graded CB's. Week. 12

Funny like I said when then SAUCY trade went down.This kid IMO has as much UPSIDE!!

The beauty of FORBES as a RAM is his mind set & coaching.The environment in which Sean Mcvay has created.The CB’s coach in Aubrey comes with Love to his Players & the Organization.Sean Mcvay has given him the Platform.

I go back to my Days a UCI,which will NEVER be again.Those memories precious.Aubrey’s first stent with THE RAMS was Super Special & his 2 CB’s (Talib,Peterson)helped TheRams to the SUPER BOWL 2018.
-If you look back at that Group & there Connection it was Kool to see.I was able to run around both Football Fields then.Todd Gurley would stay after practice working on his hands & routes.The CB’s would run with Aubrey & Talib’s son for loosening up.Bobby Trees had his branch to Kupp.
Littleton & Hager were always in drills together.Even The other Tree(Ogle) & Big Brock were tight,but the sponge was that DT wade want to play outside. Jared was a Team Leader as well.He was real dialed in & Mcvay could be in his ear all the way till the snap like a robot.

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.
