retrievableCorrect on Boom’s defects but we were rescued by Jackson who has looked bonified just not at a probowl level. It’s a blow but far from reviverablev
A minor gambling incident?Isn't this extremely strange that the reason isn't already public knowledge? If it was an arrest, there would be public record and we would know. If it was drugs/PEDs/gambling they would just say that was the reason. If it was something small, it would likely be handled internally.
What the heck is going on here???
Perhaps dropped a deuce in the porta potty??A minor gambling incident?
Community Service?Well fuck!!!! I just get back from being out all day …
I don’t know.how could the rams whiff on securing a left tackle when they knew it was a need. I have to assume the team knew about his issues and chose to go with the we can fix him routine. or they were blindsided. see what I did there? Go rams.
I concur here, Jackson missed a game last year because of personal reasons, however, when Jackson has played and has played well. Overall, it is an opportunity for Noteboom and Boom needs to showcase he can hold up as Boom's biggest issue has always been reliability.As far as Jackson’s ‘issues’, we don’t know what they are.
Not a boom fan. He’s made of glass and he’s soft.
I would go OT hard next year in the 1st round. Trade up if they have to.I don’t know.
Jackson started 15 games at LT last season, on a playoff team that was 8th best in scoring offense.
He was relatively cheap to retain under a second round restricted free agent tender offer; and the Rams re-worked Noteboom’s contract to keep him around as the backup LT.
Not sure they could have done much better. At #19 in Round One, the top-rated OTs still on the board were Troy Fautanu, Jordan Morgan and Tyler Guyton. If the Rams had selected one, no Jared Verse. If they had moved up, no Verse and no Braden Fiske.
Don’t know that Free Agency offered a clear improvement; and then there is the cost and cap implications.
As far as Jackson’s ‘issues’, we don’t know what they are.
Yeah this Detroit game has a reasonable chance to be the same thing because they have some power off that edge.Not a boom fan. He’s made of glass and he’s soft. Poor technique. Flashbacks to week one against Von Miller couple years back and he got destroyed on a bull rush 1-1 with poor footwork. And he had 60 pounds and length on Miller. Soft.
I am hoping for the same because the Rams don’t have the luxury they had last year with a schedule backloaded with conference/division games. Five straight conference/division games. Theoretically, if the Rams went 5-0, they could endure a slump at some point and still make the playoffs playing .500 ball.Jesus fuck. Still hoping we get a fast start in the standings this year but there is always some bullshit isn't there.
