Something tells me that AD, Suh and Brookers will keep DF headed in the right direction...that is at DB.

That is a great game plan. I like it."AD, what's the gameplan?"
"Well, Coach Phillips told me, 'If he tries to throw the ball, sack him. So I'm planning on sacking him whenever he tries to throw the ball.'"

How can a player not like the opportunity to get traded from a team that hardly used him, into being a starting OLB instantly, on an 8-0 team?

Let's get 2 new pass rushers instead of settling for the 1.

Well Fowler's first game with us in Nawlins was forgettable, but vs the Shehawks his presence was felt and he should have drawn a couple holding calls (one of them egregious) on top of his sack & FF. Have to admit I am starting to build some high hopes for the dude here in this final stretch. When this guy is locked in and playing fast he can be a game changer.

Could Los Angeles Rams edge rusher Dante Fowler, Jr., be more than a one-year rental?
By Tevin Broner Dec 6, 2018
What does the future hold for Fowler and the Rams?
https://www.turfshowtimes.com/2018/...t-negotiations-extension-2019-nfl-free-agency
The Los Angeles Rams went into the 2018 regular season with a talent deficiency at the edge rush hoping for one of their young, developing talents to break out. But by midseason, it was an obvious weakness that was not on the up. If the Rams were going to address before the 2019 offseason, it was going to take more than a street free agent.So it didn’t surprise many when the Rams traded a 2019 NFL Draft third-round pick and a 2020 NFL Draft fifth-round for Jacksonville Jaguars EGDE Dante Fowler, Jr.
Fowler’s career before joining the Rams has had some highs, but plenty of lows. The third overall pick from the 2015 NFL Draft out of Florida, Fowler missed his rookie season after tearing his ACL on the first day of mini-camp. He immediately was forced into a reduced role instead of the star defender that the Jaguars were hoping that they drafted.
So three years on when the Rams traded for Fowler, the hope for the Rams was that they were getting an edge rush upgrade on the cheap that still had potential untapped. The idea had merit - Fowler would not only stand up more off the line but Fowler played his best game as a Ram last week against the Detroit Lions. He finished with five tackles and a sack, but beyond the stats, he impacted the game with his pass rush and presence:

Should the Rams re-sign Fowler?
This is a very tough question.Yes, Fowler has played well for the Rams, but what will he command on the open market? He hasn’t been too productive in his career, but (as the Rams showed with Fowler) teams always believe in their ability to get the more out of players than their prior employers. Plus, pass rushers are a hot commodity on the open market. The Rams also have young edge rushers on their defense like Samson Ebukam and Ogbonnia Okoronkwo that are developing; the team could save perhaps significant cap space if they rely on their young core and add to it through the draft rather than free agency.
On the other hand if the Rams and Fowler can come together near market terms, then it would make sense to bring him back. A dream scenario would be a one-year deal that gives Fowler a chance to not only prove his worth to the league but also give the Rams a buffer while they develop their young rushers.But there are plenty of other teams out there many of whom will be willing to pay a premium for Fowler’s upside.& given his performance this last weekend, that upside clearly isn’t too far out of reach.

Thanks for posting that all22, I was really curious as to what happened on that play & why it got busted up so bad. Fowler did a nice job shaking wide of the pulling G & cutting back inside.In this edition of All 22, Dante Fowler reads a tricky play and lays the boom. #LARams

But ya that shot to the head was not kosher. Culda been another flag (so many in that game). He's right there, just tackle the dude.
But I really like his game - he was all over the place in this Lions game. Rams D was bringin it. I dunno why, but when Talib is on the field at all, it's like the light bulb turns on.

Fowler is still getting comfortable. A few more games and he'll be dialed in. He's better than what the Rams already have.

No doubt, Bubba. He is like a heat seeking missile. Last week when he went around the edge and skimmed the back sides of the Oline to tackle Blount after the pitch, sticks in my mind.

The Rams front office are a bunch of talent stealing pirates! Pats seeing Cooks on the highlight reels every week has gotta hurt, same with the Jags fans and Fowler and the list goes on and on. Bad boys, good guys. Big Whit, OMG! The Los Angeles Rams....when you wish upon a star, makes no difference who you are.

I feel like it's been said time and time again how easy it is to accidentally hit that reaction button and not even notice when scrolling on your phone, why do some posters still get so upset over stuff like this?
