Suh is a better fit because he's much more talented. People keep confusing Wade's 3-4 for the Fairbanks-Bullough 3-4. Wade doesn't want a space-eater. Yes, Suh is much older, but if we get him on a short-term deal, that's advantageous for us.
Yep, Suh would kill as Wade's 3-4 NT. Jay Ratliff, who wasn't nearly as talented, killed as a NT in the scheme. Wade generally shades his NT to the outside shoulder of the Center, but he'll go as far as using him as a 1-Tech if he believes it maximizes his defensive scheme.
I don't know who this Schultz guy is, but he's really milking whatever connection he appears to have with Suh for all it's worth lol
Nothing wrong with it, just an observation lol. And tbh, the updates are kind of nice from a fan perspective.

Lol I was thinking the same thing!! Nearly every Suh update is thru this guy, gotta believe that’s intentional. If I didn’t know any better, I would've thought this guy was his agent haha

His relationship with the strength coach and interest in the scheme does not have a lot of meaning.
He will go where he is paid the most.

Possibly, he's also said the opposite. In the end anything we say is just guess work. We'll find out the truth, maybe, when he signs somewhere.

Visiting Raiders tomorrow. Gruden will be certain to pitch him the Sapp super bowl and also playing next to Mack.
Literally the only two good players on that D.
If he does that he'll be comparing apples to oranges
Gruden is a good talker and has taken teams to the big dance but he also has a Fisheresque record and not the team the Rams have. What is their cap looking like?
The Sapp super bowl was 15 years ago. Wade Phillips was DC of a Super Bowl winner two seasons ago. And Donald was DPOY this past season. And the Raiders lost 10 games last season. Yes they have Gruden now - but Gruden's been out of coaching for a while, while the Rams had the coach of the year.
Basically, only if money is what matters will he go there.
The fact is that the Rams are already playoff ready and he could be a big piece yet not the main piece of a SB contending team.
It’s not a given that he is seriously after only a ring but if he is genuine in that goal, our chances are better than most in landing him.

Team to the big dance, he took the Buccaneers to the Super Bowl and won with Tony Dungy's defense. Gruden's DC in Oakland was Chuck Bresnahan and their defense was atrocious. Yes the tuck rule cost Gruden a chance to take his Raiders to the Super Bowl, but the Rams would have destroyed that team, much like the Buccneers did a couple of years later.
Well, if McVay and Snead can keep Suh in LA and close a deal, those two dudes will be superstars in my mind!

I think if the Rams really want him they will get him. McVay is a good salesmen and by all accounts hard not to like. Combine that with Wade and Snead. I would not be shocked if Suh passed on the highest bidder and picked the Rams.
I have to think Suh will be pretty excited after his meeetings
This front loading thing everybody keeps bringing up. Doesn't the more they put in the front mean more of a tax percentage for that year? It might not be in Donald's best interest to get to much in the first year, right? He would want it spread more evenly so as to not take a bigger than necessary hit. Or once it gets past a certain amount it doesn't matter? Just wondering. California has major taxes, it could also effect weather or not Suh chooses the Rams. I believe Washington state has no state tax for instance.
He's going to be in the top bracket regardless. Better to get the money sooner, so he can make money from investing it. Better for the Rams since they are going to have Gurley and Goff getting huge contracts in future years.
But during the holdout last year, there were reports that Donald wanted major front loading, and the Rams just didn't have cap room at the time.
Surprised to see they have less than us, about $25 million.
