Bye week, Rams still get a W

[Angry Ram]

With Washington's loss, they're 3-6. ANDDDD....ole Shanny declared it's "time to evaluate for the future."

Top 10 pick, hello.

 

[bluecoconuts]

The rest of their season is..

Eagles (twice), Cowboys (twice), vs Giants, vs Baltimore, @ Cleveland..

So hopefully Philly and Dallas actually play some football, and the Brown get an upset. 3-13 will give us a top 5, probably top 3 pick. :twisted:

I'd rather top 6 for cap reasons.

Thats a tough schedule. Woot woot!

I watched this game today. RG3 was okay, but he had some accuracy issues at times.

Newton was pretty solid.

Hasletts defense was a Haslett defense.

What cap concerns? With the rookie cap, there won't be the jacked-up-before-NFL-experience contract. Besides, what are the chances a top-5 pick isn't parlayed into more picks?

Yes sirree! Now if the Rams can end 3-13, never mind. :?!:

It boggles my mind to hear Shanahan say that. It's the middle of the season. Is it some odd tactic to put everyone on notice and hope they play hard the rest of the season?

I think it crazier that under Shanny the Redskins have a worse win % than Jim freakin Zorn except Shanny doesn't get criticized despite Washington being a much bigger market.

Teams like Washington, Dallas, Jets just fuckin annoy me. Are their owners that damn blind and not see how the always good teams do it? It's not all about name recognition.

Darin Gantt knows what's up.

Of course, it might also be time to evaluate the coaching too. Shanahan’s a disappointing 14-27 in his third year in charge, a .341 winning percentage that’s lower than the ridiculous Jim Zorn and Steve Spurrier eras (both 12-20, .375).

Now. That said. could the problem be deeper than those coaches?
And wait until those fans see who they *could have gotten* with their pick next year.

Well which is it?

The concerns I speak of sees the Overall #9 and #11 signing for a combined amount equal to the #1.

And the drops really start below the top 5.

Doubtless the rookie wage scale has eased the dramatic effects of being stuck with a top five pick , but the bang for the buck is still best from picks 6-15 which is what I was referring to.

My premise was based on the use of the pick and the likelihood you can get an impact player at the positions we are most in need for an amount closer to value . We need a safety in this draft , a good one, I'd rather pay 6-10 money for the same guy, because this team is getting to the point of being built that need could dictate some "reaches" and while I don't mind "reaching" I do mind paying for them.

We passed on Troy Palamalu, because Charlie Armie didn't think a safety was worth the money we'd have to pay him.

As far as trading down goes ,IF that's the plan fine top 3 is even better.
JMO we don't try to trade for massive additional picks again,I doubt more than five rookies from next years draft make this team, and my expectation is we USE both first round picks and might even trade into the first round for another if we can see the value.
IF we trade down and down and down like we did this year and stay this young, IMO NEXT year will be as inconsistent as this.

Their seats are sold so they don't have to win.

Yeah could be he thought some people on his team were slacking and he wanted tosend a message.
There will come a point where he'll be right about their season being over, but I would not say so before the last 2 or 3 games.
But the sentiment can't do anything but improve our pick.

Here's an intriguing guy for FS


Matt Elam*/S/Florida: The junior safety continues to impress scouts and he stood out during the Gators' close victory over Missouri. Elam does a terrific job patrolling centerfield, aggressively defending the run while capitalizing on mistakes made by opposing quarterbacks. He's a multi-dimensional safety with the ability to make plays sideline-to-sideline against the run and pass.
