Sam now has an incredible weapon in Austin and then to get the best linebacker in the draft....WOW! I have been a Rams fan since 1967, and I have never seen this team make so many good choices. This was BIG guys!

Offense, the time for excuses are over.
Everybody's been saying that Sam's the man and he just needs better protection and weapons around him. This offseason we've come on in leaps and bounds.
Protection / more time
1. Our O-line has improved on both sides, just by adding Long.
High Octane Speed
2. Our RBs and their speed, leaves me feeling positive and excited, it's also a nice clean break from the big man SJ39 - he served us well, but he wouldn't have liked to have shared snaps (I hope he can come back, sign and retire a Ram)
Targets
3. We've got two pass-catching TE's Kendricks and Cook Jr - who is a big redzone target too...
4. WRs - now we have weapons here, Given's is a deep threat, we're all expecting Quick to deliver and now we have Tavon Austin! Whether you like the guy or not, he's an exciting Pocket Rocket and a shot in the arm for us as a team - he could have made an impact on ANY NFL team.
Special Team difference
5. PR/KR - again it's Pocket Rocket, this part of our game has been seriously lacking in recent years, Austin can take the roles and make them his own.
If we can't move the pigskin this season and convert in the redone then something's not right, but I don't want to think like that...

I have all these redskins fans in Virginia telling me that we are playing for Third place, with SF and Seattle over us. I am not sure that is the case anymore. I say Bravo to the front office. This was the best Rams offseason since 1998-99. Will we see the Greatest Show on Turf again?

Cook
Long
Austin
Ogletree
And thats just the marquee players
Does not change my initial point that any team would be happy with the players we GOT this off season lolCGI_Ram said:Rabid Ram said:Any team would be happy to have the players weve got this offseason

We lost SJ, Amendola, Gibson, B Richardson, Mikell.
We haven't added a Safety yet, but you can easily argue at the other positions we've replaced these guys with younger more explosive players (SJ debatable pending Pead).

Me too. I really like how we attack these drafts.Ram_of_Old said:Remember, we played the two supposed top teams in our division and only lost the last game. Now we are better. Are we better than SF or Seattle? I don't know, but we will find out. Fisher says he is excited and so am I!
Now Bailey is reunited with Austin. Sam has to be smiling! He needed weapons and he now has them!RamsNation said:What a draft we are having
