I had to. There was an old Werewolf show I watched growing up this was the theme song. Loved 'In Through The Out Door,' too.

In through the outdoor is incredible.

It was a bit different than past albums.
Not better or worse, just different.
It was very reflective, of what Plants solo career would sound like.

but what if we trade Kupp and say a 6th rounder for him?

Rams laughing

We are all laughing

Faulk's one of those guys who is smart enough to do whatever he wants. Not all the ex-players, even the great ones, can say that. But I imagine coaching is going to be a hell of a grind for him, even in college, so hope he's ready for that side of it.

Would be one of the most Raider things ever...

I was more referring to his high dependence on 11 personnel than how he used Kupp/Nacua. Part of his rationale and explanation in the past for the dependence on 11 is he's wanted uniform looks so the defense doesn't know what's coming.

I'm skeptical he's going to make an abrupt change and use a lot of 12. Sure, he used a TE more in Washington, but in 8 years with the Rams he's used very little 12 personnel. Even with Everette, it didn't look like the intent was necessarily to get two TEs on the field.

Now, to be fair, he's talking about wanting to be more versatile. I guess I'll believe it when I see it. I've seen evolution but not abrupt changes from McVay.

I think the personnel will determine whether it's an abrupt change or not. McVay certainly likes to do things a certain way like using uniform looks but I think if you watch his work going back to the Redskins, personnel has dictated what he's done more than rules like making things uniform.

He's used little 12 personnel with the Rams because his players didn't dictate that. Everette wasn't good enough to make 12 personnel more useful. I suspect if they take one of the top TEs in this draft we'll see a significant increase in 12. And I think it's looking like the talent late 1st to mid rounds at TE is superior to WR in many respects so I can see him going that way.

Man this hurts to watch. I feel like our defensive line is better than the eagles. If Mahomes is getting wrecked now, what would we have done.

A personal Chris Petersen referral is not too hard to imagine. That's a plus.

However, we're expecting new people in the TE room next season. Huff's ability to get/teach TEs to produce in the passing game is not readily apparent. Fingers crossed.

Not being sarcastic, (for once).

But if you don't recognize a problem and analyze it.
How are you going to fix it?

Our Safety room is seriously deep now. Lake S/NB, K Kinchens, K Curl, McCollough. Not sure Johnson will be back. Great depth here.

Condensed game.

Love both these players. Not entirely convinced Fiske was worth two 2nd rounds picks, but a bird in hand is, in the end, worth itIMO. We got "our guy". Who knows if the other players available that we would have taken do anything. If he can improve his run defence, he will be worth it for sure.

Stafford is not an elite QB. I can't think of any signature playoff comebacks. Never won anything in Detroit.

Had an opportunity this weekend to pull one of the bag and didn't happen.

Could have commented on a lot of these posts but this is by far the horrid inaccurate post of this thread. Seriously?!

Honestly must be a new Rams fan but you been a member since 2017, so either You are Jared Goff creeping on ROD with a burner or have very a bad memory.

Should we start a separate thread for Verse DPOY? Thats an impressive honor considering there were some good candidates. Including our own Braden Fiske. Two of the top 3 for the honor belongs to our team. People questioning if giving up a future 2nd for Fiske was worth it. I'd say it was.

I remember the talk that you can't replace Aaron Donald. They'll have to do it by committee. The committee consists of Verse/Fiske/Turner/Young. I'd say they're gonna be wreaking havoc for years to come. Maybe that should be their nickname. The Committee.

I guess it should have been blue font, but honestly, the Rams would absolutely take #3 for Stafford, don't you think? Perhaps they don't love Ward or Sanders, but that pick is worth a ton to someone that does. Trade down and acquire ammo for next year.

Ultimately, I think there is no way Giants would even offer #3.

Click to expand...

We would be stupid not to take the #3 overall pick if that's what the Giants offered. We could trade back and get even more picks. Doubt that would happen but I pray that they're that stupid.

The leaps people are taking with the colors of the logo are flat out silly. I just skimmed a couple of articles about this and it's a goofy correlation. Colors don't match and people are arguing over what the colors actually are to fit their narrative.

Poor woman. Her husband only got paid 75 million dollars over the past 3 years by the Rams. We should start a Go Fund Me. Wish Cooper well as for Ms Kupp my feelings are similar to mine for Ms Stafford. Cry me a river. SMH.

Tell me you didnt even read the statement without telling me you didnt read the statement....

Cjcinec said:

Or they could actually be much better. Puka is a younger and faster version of Kupp. Having two of the same type of player on the field was redundant. McVay touched on trying to get more versatile on offense.. a receiver with a different skill set could be the answer.

Click to expand...

We are 12-5 with both on the field, with only 1 we are a losing team and under .500. We only started to win WHEN Kupp got back in the lineup both years.

Apparently Melbourne paid $15m per game to the nfl to host these games. That's $10mUS per game.

Let's not go there please

I've been able to enjoy a first twice in my Rams life. Their first franchise Superbowl championship in St Louis. And their first Superbowl championship in LA. Time to open flood gates for more. Get it done McVay!

@Memento I think you need to redo this mock with the assumption of trading Stafford and Kupp and Hav being back.

Disaster is a bit dramatic And we have 2 good TE and Horton is a legit X with speed. A dimension this offense desperately needs. But I get your point.

Yeah disaster is strong. It's still a good group compared to other NFL rosters. Disaster in the sense that i think it would disappoint as a win now roster. Love the way the roster is contracted as a whole though.
