We should probably be sellers but we’ve got, what—2, maybe 3 years left with this AD, Stafford, etc core. So I’m guessing we make some moves.
I just don't think McVay can pull the head out long enough to figure out how he used to call an offense. Save the picks rebound next year and come back stronger. There hasn't been a repeat champ in a long time for a reason. Two out of three aint bad.
I don't see them selling with AD and company, that would send the wrong message. They'll go get a RB now I think and Morris is going to need to get creative for pressures the rest of the way. We're not a real contender but worry about getting to the playoffs first, which will not happen without a couple moves.
You may be right about his play calling. I think the problem is he went too cheap with the OL and he's grasping for toys to fix it. But we'll see, generally he ends up figuring out his shit.
One thing he hasn't figured out is the 2nd half. But we're venting in the trade thread don't want to get called out. Back on topic the only guy we can trade that would save us cap is A'Shawn Robinson that would allow some cap rollover and a DT needy team might offer something for him. There's a lot of guys that could save us a million or two but none seem like something somebody would want.
McVay is doing the best he can with this personnel. We can’t run the ball, and we can’t protect the QB. That’s why we ran so many screens in the first half.
If we spread the field like last year and just let Stafford throw it all over the yard, he wouldn’t survive. He’s barely surviving now and that’s with McVay trying to protect him with play action and the screen game.
I would get Hunt done Monday morning and keep Akers while trading Henderson. Hunt gets the main carries, Akers is the backup. They have to align the backfield pieces first so you can sustain a run game. The back doesn't have to be a flashy receiver/play maker. Just a guy who can establish the ground game for the offense.
Then hit this offseason hard and have most of your picks. Well the 2nd rounder at least.
Letting Akers back would be the wrong message to a team that needs some serious accountability right now, imo.
Maybe trade Henderson, who knows what Akers worth is but if we can get something for them both it may offset a Hunt acquisition.
McVay has ran Henderson only a handful of times over the past couple weeks. He had a 4 yd avg ( small sample size ) on 4 carries but is averaging right about 4 yes yet Rivers gets the carries.
Either you reevaluate your approach or maybe ot is te for new blood and a change of scenery.
Exactly
Bench him for 2 games + bye week, get eviscerated by your nemesis where you could have used his running ability, and then give him another chance? Heck no. Cant trade him, cut him
Yeah, I'm no longer on board for any 1 year rental guys that cost our top 100 picks. Unless they agree to extension. We ain't there guys. Whiners will bitch slap us again in the playoffs if we are even lucky enough to get there. We need the cheap young talented players CLEARLY. We have a bunch of soft guys on both sides of our line. Floyd's first sack of the SEASON was a missed facemask call. He's unproductive. Hollins is a waste of a roster spot IMO. Both guards can't block at all.
I'd probably see what, if anything, Van can get us and trade him. We can't afford to resign him anyways.

Van Jeff is cheap and won't sniff free agency until the end of the 2023 season. I can't imagine that he'd be trade bait right now as he's just coming off of a prolonged injury, although I wouldn't hesitate to move him for decent compensation if knowing that OBj is about to be re-signed by us later this month. jmo.

You must be kidding. I don't see in any scenario OBJ resigning with this dumpster fire of a team. Sorry to burst your bubble but when KC and/or Buffalo comes a-callin' for him he is gone.
Dude wants to win and that ain't happening with this soft and prissy team.

We need to trade for a good o-line (Laremy Tunsil), get a running back (Hunt) or an edge (pass rush needed) all without teams trying to screw us over on picks. Hard ask at the moment.
As I said, ... 'IF Knowing'. I don't know one way or the other, but from what I hear he's looking for a multi-year contract and a H.C. he respects. He likes living in L.A., his girlfriend & his new baby are also here. Picking a potential play-off team to sign a new contract with doesn't guarantee him another S.B. Ring this year or next. After he speaks with McSnead again about how the Rams aim to move forward after all these injuries, what the future holds for him and the organization, I imagine he'll make a sensible choice, although what could have a strong influence on his decision is if the Rams bolster their personnel with a couple of great trades just before Tuesday's deadline. jmo.
No, No, NO!
Tomorrow, we are going to acquire Brian Burns, Bradley Chubb, Laremy Tunsil, Quenton Nelson, Brandin Cooks, Alvin Kamara and Kareem Hunt ... and sign OBJ damn it!!!
Don't roll over to the dry side of the bed
