You think McVay isn't capable of making mistakes? In hindsight you think Tutu was a better choice than Humphries?? C'mon man they're human and whiff sometimes. It's fine to acknowledge it and move on.
Noteboom & Allen both injured

I wonder if the Chiefs would trade us straight up Creed for Atwell? How hard they'd laugh at the suggestion says it all.

The Los Angeles Rams are forced to retool the interior of their offensive line with Brian Allen suffering a knee injury in Week 1. With Tremayne Anchrum Jr. being thrown into the starting lineup on Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons, Liam Coen is confident in his ability to be a capable starter.
“He’s had a great training camp. I remember when I was here in 2020, (Tree) Tremayne just had come in and you could just see his process. He’s a super smart, diligent player. He’s sturdy. He can anchor. He’s always showing some of those traits whether it be on the practice squad when I was here,” Coen said. “Last year they said he did a great job of continuing to develop and he had a great training camp. So as you see some of the traits, you see his work ethic, you see his process, and it leads you to believe that, ‘Hey, given an opportunity, let’s see what he can do.’ Physically he can do it.”
Allen is slated to miss a minimum of two weeks for the Rams after undergoing a knee procedure following the team’s Week 1 loss to the Buffalo Bills. Amid Allen’s absence, Los Angeles is moving Coleman Shelton from right guard to center and Anchrum will start at right guard.
The Rams took Anchrum in the seventh round of the 2020 NFL draft out of Clemson. Since then, he’s operated as a backup offensive lineman for Los Angeles.
Throughout the preseason, Sean McVay name-dropped Anchrum as a reserve player that had a standout offseason. Even though the Clemson product has yet to make a start in his career, Coen and the Rams are confident in him being able to step into the starting offense, beginning in Week 2 versus the Falcons.
Noteboom's performance this year before the deadline may be the thing that determines whether the Rams can trade for a pass-rusher.
If Noteboom doesn't show that he's the man, I don't think you can, in good consciousness, send high picks out for a pass rusher. You'll need as much of next year's draft capital as possible to draft a decent LT prospect.
If Anchrum comes out and kicks ass, that'll be a huge plus. We could pencil in him and Brush as starters next year and they can bring in some mid-low round prospects to develop on the inside.

Sparta?
Any decent post-Marian Roman army would spank those peds.
Caesar was astounded by how easy conquering the Eastern Mediterranean was and famously insulted Pompey Magnus' accomplishments with his famous
"V I N I V I D I V I C I" line.
I came, I saw, I conquered.
(Crassus might have said something similar shortly before having molten gold poured down his throat....)
I'll give you Hannibal though. Cannae and Lake Trasimine are strategic perfection... but not moving on the city though....? ouch. How did that turn out for Carthage?
Lol
Let's hope McVay has Caesars luck tomorrow

Yep. Not a fan of Rome (and Boudicca is another interesting character in history who was arguably one of the most charismatic women I've seen...well, ever; I wish I could command armies of men like she did.), but they were the premier military force. No good in single combat, but as a phalanx under a good Commode? Nobody beats them, not Hannibal, not Boudicca, not Alexander the Great, definitely not Sparta (whom, after the Peloponnesian War where they conquered Athens, fell into disarray.)
Rome was regarded as the best ancient army for a very good reason, as sadistic as they could be.
Way to early to tell about next season? Your already jumping out the window. I don’t see The Rams making any moves very soon.
I didn't say that. Try to read.
I said he must have felt they needed speed at WR vs a rookie C.
He likely knew Djax was a risk... he was right there. And Jefferson is not a big deep threat. Sure, he gets a lot of one on one because he is WR3. So he gets deep occasionally, but teams don't fear his speed. He doesn't affect a defensive scheme.
Right or wrong, they saw Tutu as a guy that could pressure a defense deep.
Now they may have been wrong in who they selected, but it doesn't mean he was wrong in what he felt their biggest need was.
Seriously? Why is "Comm ander" changed? I get that it's good for kicks, and I despise Dan Snyder's team and team nickname as well...but the word you're replacing is a legitimate word that's used fairly often, especially in military terms.
I get wanting to be funny, I do, and I get changing the names of other things (I only think of Asshole Face as Asshole Face), but Comm ander shouldn't be one of them.
Yes,
I tend to agree and about Boudica.
I just wonder how many absolutely amazing women who commanded armies have been lost to history... and how many have simply been erased or reduced to being a footnote.
Cleopatra and Olympias both intrigue me (all those women with Epirate and or Macedonian ancestry were often as brilliant as they were dangerous)
What's interesting is how you can read behind the lines of those histories from Roman antiquity and you notice these powerful and influential Roman women who are MUCH bigger players in the Republic era than anyone ever really acknowledges. That might be true for the imperial era too but I'm not as well informed on those centuries...
Anyways, Go MARS!!!!
( nerdsplaining for you non-nerds: Mars as in the Roman God of War, associated with the Greek God Ares, also depicted as the Ram.... RAMS, MARS... see? Lol I'm such a fucking dork)
Fate, I could nerdsplain about Boudica all day (I've had to research her for a Pokemon fanfic. No, I don't regret it at all.) She was the queen of the Icini tribe near where the modern day U.K. is (and yes, the U.K. has fucking statues of her in her chariot), and when her husband, Prasutagus died, the Romans swooped in to take the land. She resisted, but she was flogged and her two daughters were raped, which only pissed her off more. She basically pillaged and burned all of modern day Colchester and London, annihilating the Romans there.
She was able to command thousands of men with amazing speeches and prayers to Andraste (their female war goddess; I remember a story where she hid a literal hare in her dress as a divination sign - while saying how the Romans were "hares and foxes trying to rule over dogs and wolves" - and since the hare hopped in the right way, it just amped up her army even more.
Long story short, Boudica was a fucking badass woman whom I hope to aspire to be as amazing as. Oh, and she was also one of the main icons in the British suffrage movement.
It's not too early if we're talking about using draft picks to trade for players this season.
If you're in a spot where you think one guy, like Von Miller, can take you to the next level.. and that level is "Super Bowl contender".. then, you do it.
If the Rams are scuffling along and looks like they'll barely make the playoffs and show some serious holes in the roster? I do not make that kind of trade.
I wasn’t surprised by the rust I saw in the first half by the offense. I was unnerved by the chaos I saw in the second half by the offense. Week 2 will be a test to see if the chaos can be cleaned up quickly.

I’ve seen that insanity theme in more than one instance with McVay. My biggest peeve is not having a contingency plan when facing 6 man fronts. “Doing what we do best” isn’t cutting it in those situations.

Why is it necessary to let go and move on? The Wagner fiasco irked me every time we lost to. Seattle.
Maybe people will move on if/when the Rams build a better offensive line. As long as there are some glaring holes fans will be thinking of what could have been.
Or, maybe if TuTu ends up playing at or above Humphrey’s level. (Not likely)
The Rams offensive line unit has been top 10 in 4 out of 5 years under Mcvay. Y'all are throwing this offensive line under the bus after ONE game. It's crazy that we went from being relieved that Brian Allen worked out, stressing about not knowing what to do (at LT, C, RG) in the offseason, being relieved that Brian Allen is back, and now dumping on him again. The Rams like Allen so much that they started him and the paid him as a free agent. They're not thinking about creed Humphrey in the slightest and I truly don't understand why Rams fans think they have to do what WE want.
The whole team just seemed out of it. Good smelling salt for the rest of the season though.
