No, it’s not gonna be easy, this could be the best division in football...but I’ve seen the Hags draft rated as the worst in the division, are they better? The cards seemed to have a good draft but they had a ways to go, and yes the Rams lost some great players, like Matthews and weddle(ha!) but the 9ers lost part of one of the best d lines in football, and Breida and Sanders. And their coach spent the off-season professing his love for Tom Brady. Plus as we all know there’s no guarantee you’ll get back after a SB appearance.

Yea the Rams lost talib but in all honesty how many games did he play for the Rams in total and at 100%? Yea they lost peters but added Ramsey. Yea they lost Weddle but get Johnson back with an emerging Rapp. They lost fowler and Littleton but believe they have youth to step up and added Floyd. They also made there d-line a lot stronger against the run and a lot more depth. The addition of Akers and Jefferson will definately help with a hurt Gurley and a hurt cooks not producing that much. Higbee Everett and now Hopkins provided scary depth and ability. The big question will be and has been the O-line that is the key.

With so many weapons and excellent route running they can dissect there way up the field with short passes till the big ones open up. Again the protection will be the deciding factor.
Most impressive to me is that the team also remains very young if not younger with cap room next year to resign and possibly add a piece or two. That depending on the increase in cap.
Brent is first one on the Rams wagon first one off and Kay disregards Nate and shreags but is so quick to agree with Brent.

I feel like people have no clue how good of a blocker Van Jefferson is... He's as tough as Woods... That addition alone is going to help alot, in the run game.

Has there ever been a division, to start the season, a person could make an argument for each team to win the division?

9:00 mark, they get heavier into Rams.

I really can’t take Brent, he jumps up and down, yells and screams but really says nothing, and Kay belongs on E! or something.

GMFB is a waste of space. If it wasn't for Burleson, this publication would have no merit at all.

Schrager isn’t terrible but the 2 pretty ones really shouldn’t be allowed to talk.

Agreed! Even that may be to much of a mainstream position for her maybe like a local public programming station where she asks for donations to keep the programs going. I just sometimes wonder wt her deal is and why she so not for the rams? Was she from St. Louis or something or she mad cause coach has a hot chick and he turned her down for a date back in the day lolol like wtf?

Weddle wasn't really that big a help for us last season. When we signed him we knew he wasn't some superstar single high type at his age, he was more of a box guy who didn't play in the box because of Rapp. And after the concussion his play dropped off in run support too and I don't blame him for that. Losing him is a wash tbh, our safeties don't need his guidance they're going to be fine.

Matthews played pretty damn well early on but like with Weddle the injury changed things. But either way there's not big dropoff with his departure either.

Rams top two question marks in order... 1. OL, and 2. New DC.

Burleson made a nice observation about not having to worry about how McVay is going to play Gurley. It really hurt the Rams offense holding him back as much and as long as he did. Having a healthy Akers and Henderson with a year experience the Rams can get back to running and passing to the half backs. Lots of reasons why the offense will be better than in 2019. They missed the boat on defense too. It's going to be much better. Lots of depth and talent that they didn't even mention.

I get that they have to have opposing views. I don't watch the show so I don't know how much time they have to talk in-depth on rosters. The real story is how impressively the Rams turned the roster around to get better even with cap hits for losing top players in Gurley and Cooks. They really are a much-improved team.

Did I hear correctly that Adams once worked for the Patz? Perhaps she's miffed that former Rams players have rightfully called them out for the cheating sacks of sh1t they are?

maybe not...I couldn't find any link to New England (except for boning Amendola)...I did find this however...

Career[edit]
Early in her career, Adams served as an in-game host for the St. Louis Cardinals at their home games.[2]

Correct me if I am wrong but I seem to remember in one of the Saints games - I think it was the playoff game but not sure. We were driving and an easy pass to Gurley that he dropped. Almost looked like a lack of effort but I assume it was injury related holding him back. The pass deflected off his hands and should have been interpret (it wasn’t luckily). But from that point on, I notice similar ones that a RB should easily get and he didn’t. I believe it’s those situations that really miffed McVay and turned him to using CJ more and lack of confidence in Gurley. Ultimately leading to his departure.

I remember that, it was a little swing pass out of the backfield, he had to reach for it some but we’ve seen him make way tougher catches and get upfield for a big gain and the drive stalled after. It was weird, he couldn’t run and he couldn’t catch either.

You're right. Man, I have given that show the benefit of the doubt since they started doing it, but I just can't manage to get through a show. When it's not about football directly, I'm not into it, and those segments seem to be the worse.

Burleson has a pulse on football. The others are just regurgitating and pushing narratives.

Let's keep it all the way real, Kyle Brandt (and your head wagging dog, Kay). When the Rams start winning a lot of games, stay the hell off our bandwagon. We don't need your ass.
