"You gotta know when to hold 'em
Know when to fold 'em
Know when to walk away
Know when to run.

You never count your money
When you're sitting at the table
There'll be time enough for counting
When the dealings done!"

Kenny Rodgers' The Gambler is a fitting theme song for our swashbuckling GM, Les Snead:

Hill was a guarantee but was wondering what they would do with Brown. I like him as a backup. Still want to add that scat back to play opposite Gurley at times and takeover Tavon's role.

Malcolm Brown combines with the Gurley Man to provide the Horns with two sledge hammers to batter defensive lines with. As they get worn down with the double thrusts of two Mjolnirs, you throw in your Tavon-esque scat-back and let the defenders wear themselves out even more trying to corral greased lightning.

Brown is a stud & a core special teams player.
He did well at end of games saving Gurleys legs.
He also is good on 3rd and long. He catches the ball well out of the back field & is a willing blocker.

Good moves on both accounts.

Jerrick Mckinnon would be a nice backup in my opinion.

Cooper could fill that role without the explosiveness. But he is a little slippery as evidenced by his return abilities. Justin Davis looked like he could be that quicker change of pace guy but I doubt they'd have him on the field same time as Gurley. I think they want a receiver type to keep the defense respecting the end around.

 

[Loyal]

These are ok, but I'd rather hear that Watkins was signed...

WHERE ARE ALL THE RUMORS ON BIG NAMES???

I’m gonna stop checking every half hour unless they give us some more rumors

I agree....Liked him after his combine....Ex-QB...that can really ball.

It would not bother me if Troy Hill is given a chance to be the main swing reserve outside corner. Wade will have Troy around now for a good long time now. This cost is a econo bargain! If Shields can play the Nickle well enough they need not spend the big $$$ on NR-C to return. Rams also have Joyner who plays the Nickle as well as any corner in the NFL. I also would not forget about Kevin Peterson either he gave on of the best Ram corner performances we saw last season late. Rams stand to have Peterson around for several seasons too @ a low cap price.

Troy & Kevin could stand to learn big from our two new Ram all pro corners & even ex all pro Shields. Then there is ex 2016 drafted Bronco CB Taurean Nixon who Wade brought in. Nixon may be the fastest corner on the team now.

I would prefer to not go into the RED in the salary cap with OL'ers Saffold- Havenstein- Brown all fixing to be UFA this time next year.:notsure:

Kinda concerned about a corner that missed the entire 2017 season with a concussion. I mean, that's 4 months of symptoms.

Hmmmmm
