Cutting Boom sorry multiple conversations for me I guess with as many beers going.I'm confused. What was $300K savings?
In a different life he would be at your door with a vacuum to show you. lolLove McVay but Jesus the dude lays it on thick at times. You'd think they're about to build Allen a fuckin statue the way he went on about him.
You bet your ass I would.In a different life he would be at your door with a vacuum to show you. lol
And you would buy it...
Honestly, I don't think I could stand him in person unless he relaxes a lot off camera. But happy he's our coach.In a different life he would be at your door with a vacuum to show you. lol

I get it,but just like Mcvay when he became HC of The Rams.As you mention Giff that is a coach with more experience than Eric Henderson.If you look at what AC Carter has done with the D’Line as an assistant coach he brings that energy of Henderson.I have concerns on Defense.
Regardless of opinion, there were three losses of significant experience in Morris, Henderson and Lake (mostly college). That's a lot of experience out-the-door.
The only really experienced addition was Giff Smith. Add-in that Shula is a first-time Defensive Coordinator; and the Rams will likely have a lot of young players on defense ... the lack of experienced coaches is a concern to me.
Chilli Davis will probably be more with the group.Blackburn is better as more of a kicking guru imo.Ethan Evans is a STUD!Any mention of Higbee's surgery, timing, prognosis, etc. ?
Yep- we were definitely robbed there.Pisses me off thinking about that Detroit game.The late hits on Matthew Stafford as well.Then calling a hold on Big Rob making it 2-13 after getting in FG range?? Then NOT calling Puka’s PI. Leaving Mcvay with a tough decision on 4th down.
The late non-PI was a bad call that could have been the difference. However, the Rams lost because they had three drives into the Red-Zone and settled for three field goals. Detroit also had three Red-Zone drives, and scored three touchdowns.Yep- we were definitely robbed there.
Revenge will be sweet when we slaughter them in next year's NFCCG.

Now if he can learn to hold or FG kick.We know he BOMS Kick Offs.
Memento likes the TE from Georgia? I think Davis is going to be an excellent TE for The Rams.
I HATED the Higbee Extension!! Then to see that cheap shot.

Brock Bowers is the only player I can think of that I'd trade up for, and I don't even think he'll be at that point. He's going to be an elite tight end.
Isn't QB almost always 'overdrafted'? I'd bet 4 or 5 are gone before it's our turn to pick. I've heard as many as 6 or 7 LTs gone in the 1st. CB's and Edge are always popular. But all it takes is 1 team looking for a TE and he's gone and even if 3 QBs, LTs, CBs, Edge and WRs are gone in the first 19, that still leaves 3 spots open. I don't think he makes it past the Jets at #10.He might fall to 15… if there’s an overdrafting of QBs, LTs, CBs and edge… B
Most of which look better as RT or even G. Alt and Fashanu are the only genuine LT in the first round, in my opinion.6 or 7 LTs gone in the 1st.

Well Sean Mcvay said it a few times & opened up a bag of dead stinky worms he’ll never forget.I do a lot of play calling during games.Had a GF that told me I think I know more than I do .Per verbatim I’ll say something & the announcers say the same thing 50%.I think Tony Romo stunk in the Superbowl. Any ways Those TIMEOUTS in the 2nd half are KILLLERS!! Mcvay lost being able to CONTROL the game.The late non-PI was a bad call that could have been the difference. However, the Rams lost because they had three drives into the Red-Zone and settled for three field goals. Detroit also had three Red-Zone drives, and scored three touchdowns.
21-9 ... Point Differential of 12. That's why the Rams lost a one-point-game ... IMO.
As far as the Havenstein holding penalty, Big-Rob did a press conference a few days after the game, and said it was a hold, it was mistake on him and it's something he can not do in that situation.
The 2023 Rams won a lot of close games, and lost a few. One play can be the difference in a close game. However, you don't win or lose the game because of one play. Again, just my opinion.
IMO Noteboom's fate is tied to Dotson. If Dotson is extended I see them releasing Joe as a post June 1 transaction. Depending upon what it cost them to sign Dotson, and Shelton it may force them to also release Havenstein to unload his $14.7M cap hit this year. I feel that might be in consideration because I would think they also would like to re-sign Robinson. Jackson, Hoecht and Jonah Williams are RFs so I see all of them getting a second round tender bumping their salaries accordingly. Hopkins is a UFA so it's a matter of how much he will cost and their motivation to keep him. With Higbee, Allen and Long they may opt to let him walk.
What I'm saying is that it may look like the Rams have a lot of cap space but just re-signing their own is going to eat a big chunk of that. Also, I can see them restructuring Noteboom's contract taking his remaining guaranteed and spreading it over 4 years. That would bring his cap down to about $4M/yr. Why? Because he has value as a backup / bridge player at OT and OG. Would Joe do it? That is the question. OL depth is a very legitimate concern, Noteboom, McClendon and McAllister will give them that game day depth they need.
From reports the Rams seem hign on McClendon, but not sure if it's as an OG or RT. The biggest knock on him was slow feet. But some of that can be mitigated by proper physical training. Improve his foot quickness and Warren could play RG or RT. McAllister showed promise in TC last year so I can see him as their backup center. OT is their biggest need on the OL that is why I see them using a day two pick on an OT.
Just like last year the coaching staff will be key to the success of this team. They will have a roster filled with first and second year guys. That is not to say they will suck. Only that good coaching again will be impactful. That is why the Ram staff was raided like it was this year. The Rams out performed expectations, and the NFL took notice.
