Sloman has ice in his veins: Miami senior kicker Sam Sloman earned the game’s Special Teams MVP after going 4-for-4 on field goals of 41, 33, 48 and 42 yards. The final one came with just 28 seconds in regulation, forcing CMU to need a touchdown on its final drive.

Yeah - you & The Rams are always right. Lol
Willing to express your opinion and thinking people may want to discuss it means you think you're always right :D
Having a different opinion on something than another poster means you're attacking them :D
It's amazing some people can even leave the house with skin so thin.

My favorite part of this is this year we have no fans at practices or scrimmages and almost no media coverage of them. Yet you go in threads here and you see the same thing over and over. People who have no idea what went on weekly in practices making statements like:

how can the Rams be so stupid
(player x) better be on a short list we know he sucks
(player x) has never shown us anything why didn't we draft 2 people at that position
how can they be confident with that oline they must be incompetent


Oh shit there I go as a fanatic laughing at other fanatics. I really gotta stop attacking people (and here I'm just laughing because I do the same shit).

You do you and I'll do me. I will forever apologize because I think the coach that came in and turned this program around over night. And the Rams were widely criticized for hiring such a young inexperienced guy by some around here too lets not forget. This guy in my book deserves a bit of leeway.

But I digress, McVay himself has said it was a close competition all three were good but Sloman won it with his consistency in practice the last week or two. But why take his word for it. I'm sure you reading a few random tweets over the last month gives you a better idea of who should have won the job than the coach who's watched them practice.

Now back to my tea and breakfast.

Well enjoy your tea & breakfast.I’m having coffee & heading to church.

I have no idea about the kickers & really haven’t quoted on it.I do know when Jeff Fisher came in & Les Snead was a first year GM they changed the whole kicking group.

Drafted the leg & Snead signed Hecker as a udrfa.Jake was a first year LS who has been a pro bowler.Having those 2 still on the team should help the rookie.I don’t know if there view played apart of the decision at all,or what there opinions are? I would guess they both have excellent views & both are team leaders.
McQuade if fast would have been a stud LBer imo.

I just hate the beat up in the offensive line when last seasonThe Rams didn’t have any depth going into 2019. Having Edwards & Evans as backups again gives me more confidence heading into 2020.Adding Corbett last season was a steal of a trade & Underappreciated around here.
JMO - cheers & have a excellent Labor Day.My guess is you have earned it over the years of hard work.
