What does that even mean???

Apparently they did this last year as well - allowing them to carry 54 on the roster if they so choose.

Confused.

It means until the 17th they can have a 54 man roster.

I wonder if they can use it for a player not named Aaron Donald. I just hope it doesn't mean we will be without AD for a week or two.

One name is not like the others. As a matter of fact, said name is better.

Aaron Donald combine notes from 2014

STRENGTHS
Quick off the snap. Natural leverage. Gets under pads and into gaps. Good foot athlete -- redirects well and can work the edges and loop and stunt. Flexible enough to zone drop in short area. Plays with awareness and consistently locates the ball. Closes hard and fast. Keeps working to the ball. Disruptive penetrating ability. Outstanding career production -- 63 TFL and 27.5 sacks the last three seasons. Tough and competitive. Team captain with terrific personal and football character.

WEAKNESSES
Marginal height and frame is nearly maxed out. Hands are more active than strong -- could play with more pop and power. Overpowered in the run game and ground up by double teams. Gets snared and controlled by bigger, longer blockers. Not a two-gap player. Has some tweener traits -- lacks ideal length and bend to play outside.

Four hours after I found out that Donald signed the extension. Still as giddy as a schoolgirl.

Helps that you are of the female persuasion.

 

[ReekofRams]

Confused.

Me too, more than normal.

Everyone of us knows injury is always possible. Nobody needs to be reminded.
I'll tell you what though. Donald gets injured and I'm blaming you for the negative thoughts you just spewed over the whole board.

I don't do superstition...so feel free. I live in light of facts...and if you think I want to see the Rams best defensive player hurt then you're smoking powerful stuff.

Also keep in mind I said we need to HOPE AND PRAY it doesn't happen. I do believe in prayer....very much so.

Well come man, we all know he could play with more pop and power.

You guys remember that time we had a 130+ page thread on AD’s contract situation?

That was awesome.

Here's a nice lock-screen photo for your phone.

Credit someone else, I don't remember where I got it.

But pretty cool.
