That was great, Memphis, thanks!
Sometimes I have to pinch myself to think about how fortunate we are to have our current collective of ownership on down the line. So blessed.

The other scout that they me mentioned, who scouted Trost, was Cedric Jones, former NYG DE. I verified it was that guy. Kind of funny, I saw articles that called him the Giants biggest draft bust ever. Former first rd pick out of Oklahoma, who was blind in one eye. Had to switch him to the opposite side and flip Strahan to the other side because of his blindness. Hopefully that doesn't affect his scouting... LOL!!!

Thank you, @Memphis Ram !! I consider this like an early birthday present (by one day; birthday's today. Thirty-five. Old enough to be the POTUS! Can't believe I made it there from nineteen and starting out on ROD.), so it's much appreciated!
 
It just dawned on me that McVay is the longest tenured Rams coach of my lifetime and I think he might be the longest tenured Rams coach ever? Have they ever had a coach who coached 10 yrs?
I believe Sean McVay surpasses John Robinson when this Season commences. Currently tied at 9 full seasons each in Rams History.
 
This is the strongest roster McVay has had, on paper. The addition of two excellent corners to this secondary, and another pass game weapon for over the middle, means this could end up being a dominant team that can truly contend for a top seed.

Last year we were hoping we had enough on defense to be that level of team, and it turned out we didn't have enough on that side of the ball. But this year we should have that quality of team.

Just need health to favor us.
 


I'm a big first person shooter game. So Fortnite.
Okay. uh Call of Duty, um Battlefield, you know, things like that to where you gotta, you know, worry about your movement and and be good in that nature.

Q: How many more cards do you need to sign to get that Xbox?

I think I'm more than halfway done. So, I got to go sign a bunch of stickers and then uh I'll be walking away with it.

Q: Is a hand cramping? Do you go, you know, go . . .

I feel like I'm going to get carpal tunnel syndrome [laughter] just, you know, how much I'm signing it.

John McVay's head is disproportionate to his body. It's like a man's head on a child's body.

Sure is. Gotta make room for all that quality gray matter!!!!

@Memphis....great stuff. I feel waaaaaay better about the draft choices made, as each day passes. The most common sense explanation is "with this roster, exactly how many draft picks could make the squad?". What good would 7 or 8 picks do if 3 or 4 aren't going to be there come September?

So the Rams draft strategy was quality not quantity with focus on long term vs immediate need. And yes…McDuffie should be included in the draft assessment.
 
After falling short of our goals, there was one moment that gave me joy. When Stafford said "I can't wait for you guys to cheer me on next year while we're kicking ass". It erased all the doubts.
