Ernest Jones Traded to Titans

[Merlin]

The Rams want Speights in that role. There were many reasons all told, granted, but I think they cleared out the vet to allow it to happen.

Probably a collection of shit that led to the actual decision but boil it down it's the oldest story in the NFL. Younger and cheaper baby.

Good decision. Jones gets wish. Rams do what is best for the team.

I think there's a difference between.. and I'm not accusing you.. of.. :

"This is dumb they got fleeced"

"I don't understand this move at all"

"I don't like this move"

It's the over-the-top responses criticizing the move as a failure before we know anything on the other end... especially when we're talking about an organization that is very, very successful.

We should have gotten a better pick. Snead always gets fleeced on trading away players pick wise. Where the Rams make up for it is that they draft very well with those late picks more often than not lately. Unfortunately the pick isn't until 2026 which is terrible as it doesn't help us anytime soon. We lost depth at the LB position in case of injury. With that said, I get trading him away if he became a problem but it can still very well can bite us in the ass. Time will ultimately tell.

I agree the Ramsey haul wasn't great. And I agree there is some validity to just focusing on return rather than what a player does with their new team.

Staying with your analysis, how do you factor in the intangibles the Rams clearly prioritize? They wanted to do right by the player. Whit just said the Rams have a rep for taking care of players that earn it. Now, they've developed a rep for doing right by players who they're trading away. I believe Colin recently said that the Rams have developed a rep as possibly the top destination for players.

If accepting a pathetic haul is part of building the reputation of being a top players destination, is it worth it?

I don't fully buy that. Players don't always pick a team because they see you do right by players. They more often than not go after the money. It's a sad a true fact in the NFL. The players only have a finite amount of years to cash in so that being the top determining factor the majority of the time is also understandable. Now with that said, it will from time to time help us attract players, but we still gotta pay up lol

McVay looked too pissed for it to have been just the injury. I really think EJ or his agent or both, did or said something that made McVay say "fuck this I'm done". I don't think we'll ever know for sure though.

This has at least brought the entertainment of seeing Big Whit put that youtube "content creator" Jake Ellen in his place after he went on another unprofessional rant about a move Rams made on twitter. Then Jake responded to Big Whit about how he was doing this before Whit was a Ram as that somehow gave him more credibility than a hall of fame super bowl winner and then deleted it after he got flak. Which of course got reposted by some other competing "content creator" and Big Whit called him out again "this isn't a video game" lol. Jake still hasn't learned his lesson I see.

So good reading Whit put that clown in his place.

No doubt. Clown with a mic. Zero clue or insight with the Rams or football in general.

Also I love how Whit looks out for the Rams. Truth is with all this kind of stuff you can spin it either way if you wish, but there is no doubt the Rams have earned the benefit of the doubt.

One thing that I see as a common thread among the takes that are most distressed is this thought that Jones is a great ILB. He's a good starter at ILB. Solid range for the position but not the elite level type that the Rams always take care of. So when that is the case you are prone to a business decision, and the Rams don't fuck around in that regard. No matter how we slice this issue it comes down to the nuts and bolts of that first I think. They were planning on letting him play it out prior to all this BS for that reason.

At some point the details will shake out on who did what. I like Den's suggestion above, but theories aside on details he is quite similar to Woody in that he is a great teammate and all that, but he felt he deserved more while the Rams knew he was replaceable and didn't want to hurt the team by paying him. Onwards and upwards.

The EllenBooger Cult that was going on within ROD for a while was quite shocking and pretty pathetic when it happened not to long ago here.

People grasping at anything to try and be apart of something and ‘know’ somebody that has ‘inside’ information.

What they blindly didn’t realize is that ego centric clown with a mic was full of shit with his illusionist act that he was some sort of squishy faced prodigy.

Big Whit seen through his BS right away and tore him a new asshole.

And for Booger to have the audacity and question Big Whits knowledge like he’s somebody…. The fucking arrogance you have to have..


For those here that were-are part of the Cult, hope this shows you the other side of that Fake Snake Oil Salesman.

What should they have gotten for him? And whom should have given it?

 

[Classic Rams]

I don’t recall seeing McVay look this pissed. He can’t give a concrete reason without negatively affecting Jones. The man is tense and clearly unhappy

Reeder is starting

I will be amazed if there is no drop off between him and Jones so it’s probably only a matter of time before the Speights era begins

Sean gives his typical long explanation yada yada and then the guy asks him to elaborate. These reporters aren't the brightest and they always try to make the coaches say something controversial and McVay wasn't having it.

Well you need to look deeper than that.Keep thinking,but Speights will fill a role.His special teams skills are first & foremost this year.

The cult Lol I haven't been watching that channel this year as much as I have in the past and the few times I tuned in I wasn't impressed. I can only take so much filler and I don't have the time to watch a channel try to stretch to 20 minutes what they can say in under 5. In stark contrast I liked what I saw with Locked On the other day and they will be my Rams source when going the YT route. That X nonsense just rubbed many of us the wrong way and for me it was the final straw and the camel is on IR.

 

[So Ram]

Good decision. Jones gets wish. Rams do what is best for the team.

Just think Todd Gurley as an example.It cost The Rams,but Jones wasn’t going to break the bank. -Rumor is knee concerns & not worth locking up this year.
-Let’s see if he gets a long term deal ? The Rams(Mcvay) are a class act Organization!

THAT’’S SUCH BS !! The Rams have more LBer & special teams depth because of it.

Yes they draft well,but The Nee NFL is in play!!! Get real.

It’s ALWAYS going to BE WE not ME under Sean Mcvay.

We can go into details about The Players & the situation. I like the way Alaric Jackson’s contract went.

Example of a True Rams & WE players. Ram Fans want to talk CRAP,but this TEAM(2024) goes like this.

Noteboom is over Paid ,but brings it every day & is a Leader(Mentor) who adds depth.

Reeder & Boom just keep bringing it every day as well & prove what Mcvay likes in his players.

I call Offense to defense BOOM BOOM!!!!

Well Mcvay didn’t throw Ernest Jones under the bus,but there was a post from his side that got taken down.
The Rams & Mcvay will ALWAYS be about WE not ME & he said so in his Press Conference. - your Right!

He said he (Mcvay) said he will ALWAYS be True to his beliefs (values). Not a quote,but he did make the point about character & what his Values of Team.He talked about if a player did something to Woman or Kids !! That is a BYE BYE for sure.That didn’t happen,but he also said it’s a situation vs situation(player).There’s a lot Lee way.
Didn’t use proper wording,bunch of ablubbing.The picture is there.Sean Mcvays own word explain it better.We don’t need to know more,but there are enough examples.
—Look at Ben Sko as an example of a player doing The Right thins & being a Team Captain!! Whittington was going to make The Roster $ found him The Best spot for him.

Was cool seeing him with a #25 jersey & Cam Akers fighting for a spot w/ Houston.

I POSTED here pretty quickly that he had lost his CRAP!! Forgot the name of his site(Dugout report),but he went from Live to Bleacher report!! He was talking that crap for 2 days.

Yesterday he(2 days ago) he was saying all that stuff putting The Rams organization down badly.

I listen to the little Prick,but he is a Video Gamer guy who is a Rams(NFL) fan who is trying to make money.
Like he said he was on here before he was even 18 thinking he knew it all.I’ve called him out like all Posters.

I Have To Give OLDSCOOL more Credit. His ALWAYS about The Rams than himself.

I’ve always been a Trot Reeder Fan.Being The first to sit at SOFI right in front of the LBers group.Troy Reeder was The Leader if that Group.My Girlfriend Lived him because of how HOT he looked.I call him Old Blue Eyes.

Bobby Brown & Ernest Jones both were Rookies. I’m a Bobby Brown Fan !! The Rams Organization is a Class Act !! I’m a Crazy Fan I’m sure over The Years they go,there’s that guy again.

Last year my girlfriend went to 3 training camps.See was right by the Lbers group(OLB) & wanted to Grab # 0’s(Young) butt!! Dude was a guy in amazing shape,build, & Frame.(we can go in with how Great this group is).

Kyren she said she wanted The Number 23 Jersey!! If all players on The Rams.She saw Greatness!!
BTW - she likes the 8ers,but I get the best of it.Makes it Fun.(I guess it’s a jealousy thing) Love pickleball & The Rams.2 of my many additions.

Back to Bobby Brown thought us playing for a CONTRACT!! IMO(not others) is he will make More $$$$
In The NFL than EJ53 will.Seeing him(both) the talent level if a 20 year old working with Eric Henderson eye opening.

 

[So Ram]

Bobby Brown & Kobie Turnerreal have worked hard together.Pushing each other inside. Of course here comes Fiske who is a different type of player.
Bobby Brown is in a contract (4th) year.Coach Giff is The Perfect Coach in 2024 to get the most out of him.(ad AJ Carter).

Verse is already a Baby Huey type.Think B.Young but with POWER!!! He gets under the O’Linemans Pads.

I like how B.Jackson(LDE) sets an Edge ! Verse though is BIGGER than
Dantee Fowler on RDE spot.Think about that position as a Ram Fan & as a NFL Fan. —WOW is the word I’ll use.
Have we mentioned Hoecht.

 

[So Ram]

BTW - Q-LAKE is a PURE DAWG!!!

Went to 1 training camp this year(2024) & RAM FANS get EXCITED!!!!

He covers as good as any CB The Rams have ??? White & D.Williams ? What upgrades.

Last year’s training camp #23 on offense of course we know that Jersey ##,number.
On Defense it was #44 that wore #23. Now B. Jackson has that number..

Knowing who is who at training camp can get confusing.Ask BubbaRam

 

[So Ram]

What should they have gotten for him? And whom should have given it?

LOL - As Big Whit states about the Emotional part of The Trade !!

It’s not EASY so Jake is F’d up going off like he did.

As stated before.Special Teams are in play 2024 more than ever.The depth has to be there.

Mcvay is a TEAM first guy & has to USE EJ53 as an example.Steve Avila I’m sure appreciates it.

The FOUNDATION is only built Stronger. 10 rookie made The roster 2024. How CRAZY is that ??

You can’t sit in your LORALS

I think you're giving that guy way too much credit. Cult leaders are usually pretty charismatic.
