That was AWESOME. I didn't want it to end.

I love this pick.

I can't wait to see this team on the field!

That sounded pretty good in my headphones.

Now let's get it.

Sure is nice to see Snead without bloodshot eyes lol.

I honestly can't remember a player drafted by the Rams since ED that I was so impatient to see him hit the field as this kid. I was excited about Sam, Chris, SJ, Pace, but this kid is an enigma to me. His size scares me a bit but in reality, he's pretty tough and is hard to hit. I just can't wait to see him in the open field. That vision he has is uncanny.

I tried to figure out who the most recent guy was that I wanted to see out there (besides Bradford), and believe it or not it was Lawrence Phillips. I thought he was gonna be a straight up beast for us when they drafted him, and I couldn't wait to see him out there tearing it up. He didn't disappoint, scoring 2 TDs in the first game of the season (home opener).

And then he didn't do SHIT for the rest of the year. 2 more TD's over the next 15 games.

I haven't been this excited since Bradford. Prior to him; Holt.

It's been since Holt for me.

I'm a Seminole Fan, so I had seen Torry light-up the Noles for a number of years. I had no doubt that he was a special player.

I feel the same way about our new #11.



I don't think I'll ever be as amped-up about a rookie as I was for ED2105. Hope that turns out to be wrong though,,, can't wait for that one.

Great video. Love things like this.

Gotta REALLY disagree here. I always had concerns about Phillips. He was one of those talented punks who thought he was above morality and the law. I was actually disgusted by the whole thing. I had high hopes for Rich Brooks as a coach coming out of Oregon but I really felt embarrassed by that pick. Then to just piss me off even more, they traded away Jerome. Really? I almost looked for a new team at that point. The Rams had just left for St Louis and I kept with them. Then they did that. I'm STILL pissed!

I have to say I haven't never been too amped to see any a rams player. Whoever we drafted I just rolled with it. But Austin is another story. The first time I heard of him was on this board, someone posted a highlight vid and I was like WOW. I hope he is everything.g I think he is gonna be!

[HE WITH HORNS]

I was pumped up about the Bradford pick, and when we got him, (thanks Spags for sucking) I was excited.

But I'm just as excited about Tavon, this kid can score from anywhere on the field. He's still faster than almost anyone in the NFL, and it will be a blast to watch him.

I agree. But watching the tape he seems to know how not to get hit, which I think will help him avoid injuries.

I also believe that if he was 6 feet or taller he would have been the #1 overall pick

Well at least he knows how to deal with college players, but now he's playing against the big boys who understand angles and coverages a bit better than college kids.

For my part, I hope he makes it through at least 3 seasons unscathed. If they over use him (which I think will be the tendency) early on, all bets are off. This kid has special skills as we're all aware, but I also worry about his lower body (knees and ankles). :neh:

Same here. I just can't wait to see this team play!

Same goes for every player in the NFL, they all have knees and ankles. Career can end with one hit.
