Is this the narrative around him now?
The great thing about a RB who always gets 3-5 yds / run? He'll hit paydirt if you get close.
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.
I watch a lot of Big 10 and SEC games. We're gonna like Josiah for sure.Not at all. I really like our 3rd round pick.
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.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.
we spent this morning kayaking on the Narrow River

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.
Another movie that couldn’t be made today.
Exactly ! Time fillers like this kind help ROD Heads like us get through offseason.ya, maybe a tad early, but at this point... who cares...lol
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.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.
Tutu better be the #1 WR next year, or @OldSchool will bitch and whine about it forever, "We coulda had Creed!"https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id...uts-2025-espn-jeremy-fowler-position-rankings
Avila and Dotson both got honorable mention. Feels a bit low for Dotson.
Kansas City has the number 1 interior lineman.
Done quite a bit of research over the years & have read a ton of articles.Really? That is fascinating. How do you get these little nuggets, Den? You're like the Paul Harvey of ROD! Thanks, brother![]()
“Don’t talk about my Ellenbooger like that!”It's the offseason and these lame excuses for "journalists" are desperate for attention.![]()
