The 1988 Rams - This is a team I remember so well....

Yeah, I thought Brian Smith was going to be a beast. He was a 6'6' 250 lb OLB out of Auburn... 2nd rd pick. Never did a thing...was as average as his name.

Hawkins tore up his knee in his rookie preseason. Never seemed to recover from it.

Frank Stams was average at best.

Darryl Henley is still in jail I believe.

Aaron Cox had his moments, but basically a Tu Tu Atwell type...just too small.

Gaston Green couldn't break a tackle.

Cleveland Gary couldn't hold onto a football.

What a disappointing mess.

They did have some late round role players/contributors that helped get them to the NFCCG in 89'. Guys like Robert Delpino, George Bethune, Mark Messner, Michael Stewart, and Mike Piel, but it was a missed opportunity.

Puka "Not a Game Changer" Nacua folks (also there's an addendum down the list that will make people's head's explode)

Is this the narrative around him now?

Reporters and content creators have admitted to visiting fan forums to get talking points. This seems like the case here. Who asks a professional wrestler his unqualified opinion on the upcoming NFL season? He was probably given things to say.

Maybe this leads to an upcoming Wrestlemania cameo, where Puka kicks his ass with a new move called ‘The Game Changer’.

The great thing about a RB who always gets 3-5 yds / run? He'll hit paydirt if you get close.

Kyren has that special ability to find the end zone. And that is not always true
with backs of similar abilities as his. some backs just raise their game when they
smell the end zone. He kind of reminds me of Marshawn Lynch
(minus the dumb coach and the bad qb);)

Where can we improve on defense?

I just got Phil Steeles 2025 College Football Preview and was cross checking some of his rankings from his 2022 and 2024 Previews. He had Emmanuel Forbes ranked as his #1 CB going into the 2022 season. Forbes was picked #16 in the 2023 draft, so that was a pretty solid evaluation. It didn't work out in Washington for whatever reason. Rivera's last year and then Quinn's first year might have had something to do with it. But if the kid can play anywhere near his projections (by multiple sources), the Rams have stolen a valuable piece of D.

Well Rams are on this list . IMO The Rams CB’s show up and make a name for themselves.

Davante and puka ranked outside top 10 wr by coaches and executives

So Ram
I take it for what it’s worth.There are things that go into that are unaccounted for.

Like above poster the numbers might not show up as whole,but when you look at the production it adds up to 2 excellent}1 type WR’s.

There’s a reason The Rams(Mcvay) went after D. Adams & released Cooper Kupp.

I like the WR & add 12 personnel as well with 4 TE’s The Rams are going to be dangerous.We as Ram Fans should know this if 2024 is a reflection.

IMO Sean Mcvay is going to do a lot better in his play calling & things upfront should settle in nicely.

Wow! Robin Trower is still touring?

fanotodd
I saw RT when I was just out of HS. It was a small venue called the Keystone in Palo Alto, CA. It was renamed the Edge many years ago. I was within 20 feet of the stage.

He was fucking awesome, with Jack Bruce still with him on bass and more importantly, vocals. An absolutely fantastic show.

Bridge of Sighs should be in every audiophile’s collection.

Thanks for this reminder. I’m gonna get into that album for a few days.

Some thoughts going into camp about our last game

Seems like when we've earned a fast start, we always have a semi-deflating swoon somewhere near the middle of the season.

My hopes and expectations are to make the playoffs. Period. Don't care how we get there just want to be there.

McVays teams do seem to have a oct-nov sort of fade to them....except the ones that start badly enough they cant afford a November fade.

Countdown to Camp: Continuity is OLs strength but hinges on health

fearsomefour said:
After Jacksons health it is all about the interior line.
Avila was not good most of the season. Repeatedly beaten badly one on one is pass pro. Off balance and lunging or getting out of position and not being able to recover. He was bailed out multiple times by Stafford quick release.
Dotson you can same the same about to a lesser degree.
Limmer filled in as best he could and certainly showed he can play in the league but he made mistakes, which is to be expected.
Now, both Avila and Dotson (along with every one else at various times) were injured. The lack of depth may have forced them back earlier that what would have been ideal. I get that and think they get an "incomplete" grade over all.
All that said, both had a down year.
Both will need to bounce back for the Rams offense to take a step up.
There was a looooong stretch of the season where the Rams offense was struggling to approach 20 points. 3rd and 8 or 3rd and 11 were common place.
As always, there is more than one cause to ongoing misfirings.
But, the OL inside did not help.
Shelton in at C. McVay has said he will help the continuity of the OL in both run and pass games, but, particularly pass game.
There were other FA centers that graded out a little higher than Shelton and got more money. Are they that much better than Shelton? Probably not.
Center is a position that doesn't have a big middle class.
There are a few very good center at the top and just sort of "everyone else".
Hopefully Shelton provides Limmer good lessons and helps his game mature so he can replace him as the full time starter in a year or two.
I can really see the Rams line going either way this year.
Its not an elite unit, but, it can be effective and good if healthy.
G/C/G just have to be better this year as well.

IMO - Mcvay F”d up HUGELY !! I SCREAMED IT ALL 2024!! The cool thing is The Rams went back & corrected it.

Bringing back Shelton should only keep the play calling easier for Mattew Stafford.Avila & Dotson are back at where they belong.

Agree with Limmer,he is mature & confident.He’ll only get better & hopefully a Ram for years.

IMO from looking back in Ram History Big Ram has been a weak link & has cost The Rams games at the worst (clutch) times.I like bringing in depth to help out.Also Kyren is an excellent blocker a long with Higbee knowing Havenstien well. His leadership is solid. I question his health & how well he’ll play in 2025.
Alaric Jackson is the biggest question mark though.He & Avila work well together.

Amazing mission. Liara is one of my favorite Mass Effect characters. She's just so loyal to Shepard, no matter what, and her evolution from the terrified young scientist she was in 1 into the Shadow Broker taking the place of the Yahg in 2 and 3 is one of the best character twists you can imagine. Really fun fight as well.

I love the opening to the Shadow Broker when Liara and Shepard are chasing an enemy in a hover car and she keeps telling Sheppard to turn right when he's supposed to turn left and vice versa.

Avila and Dotson both got honorable mention. Feels a bit low for Dotson.

Kansas City has the number 1 interior lineman.
