No where on the Rams roster are more spots available to be won than on the special teams unit. Overseeing the make-over is new coordinator John Bonamego, a veteran of many seasons and teams at the position. His challenge is to restore the luster and excellence the Rams have displayed on this...
The Rams have acquired Dante for a 3rd and a 5th round pick in next year's draft!
Considering we'll be getting two compensatory picks (probably 3rd rounders) for Trumaine Johnson and sammy Watkins, I love this deal!
What's everybody's take?
I thought I'd start a new thread to get everyone's ideas on who might be available that we would like to select at pick #87.
Two people come to my attention:
Edge - Nwoso - USC
OLB - Griffin - UCF ( the one-handed star of the combine)
!) FA kicker Mike Nugent - recently released by the Cowboys upon Dan Bailey's return
2) The art of the pump fake for Jared, especially rolling out to the right against the Seahawks!
3) A compass bearing true north for Tavon
4) A rematch against the Vikings in the NFC Championship game
5) A...
Don't think for a second the Rams won't try to show off TE Gerald Everett in their matchup with the Giants' TE Evan Engram. Although Everett's role has decreased recently, and he may be in the doghouse, I fully expect a draft day ego war to take place in both teams' offensive game plans.
The...
The Giants have suspended Janoris Jenkins indefinitely for violating team rules.
It was only a matter of time with him.
However, props to Jenkins for making the Pro Bowl last year and staying out of trouble a while longer than I would have predicted!
After watching a great game last night from the Chiefs, I think we should attempt the following:
Trade Cody Davis to the Chiefs for a 4th round pick to replace Eric Berry
Trade Tavon Austin to the Patriots for a 3rd round pick to replace Amendola (likely concussion - we know he should retire)...
We gave up Eloy Jimenez, Dylan Cease, and two A Ball minor leaguers.
The left-handed Quintana is controllable through 2020 and will be a weapon against the Nationals (Harper and Murphy) and the Dodgers (Bellinger, Seager, Gonzalez, Peterson, and Utley) if we make the post-season.
What would you be willing to give up? Let's assume the Tigers eat one third of Verlander's remaining salary.
I would package RP Justin Grimm, C Victor Caratini, OF Mark Zagunis, P Pierce Johnson, and a player to be named later.
The more I think about our #1 pick in the second round (#37 overall) and a Sean McVay offense, the more I like Engram to be our pick if he's still there. Current mocks have him listed as the #3 TE going between #33 and #40.
Engram ran a 4.42 at the combine at 6' 3" and 232 lbs. He can line up...
Ethan Westbrooks was arrested for suspicion of domestic violence Sunday night.
Rams gathering information and will let the legal process play out.
Just when things are starting to go in the right direction with our new coaching staff!
People, it doesn't get any better than this for TMZ!
First, Manziel says he's living with Von Milller - who was suspended himself a couple of years ago for PED's.
Now it turns out he's living with Josh Gordon - who already has two strikes against him!
Breaking news - Josh Gordon has just...
I put this draft together considering BPA, team needs, and the probable availability of the player for each pick in their respective round.
1.15 - Jarran Reed - DT - Alabama
2.43 - Michael Thomas - WR - Ohio State
2.45 - Nick Martin - C - Notre Dame
3.76 - Jerald Hawkins - OT - LSU
4.110...
The Patriots have acquired TE Martellus Bennett and a 6th round pick from the Bears in exchange for a fourth round pick.
We should have traded Jared Cook at the deadline when we had the chance instead of just cutting him for nothing!
Martavis Bryant is facing a year long suspension for violating the league's substance abuse policy. He already served a four game suspension to start the 2015 season for the same issues.
The Rams should avoid all players in the draft who tested positive at the combine.
We usually have to wait...
Tre has been arrested for possession of cannabis, resisting arrest, reckless driving, and failure to register a motor vehicle.
Another reason to take BPA with your first round pick! You never know what the future holds for your current players!
To My Rams Brotherhood,
I hope you all enjoy the Holiday Season! Please drive carefully and be on the lookout for those who can't help themselves and endanger others on the road!
Sincerely,
RamCub
Quite a few deals at the GM meetings last week. Also, I'm sure there was plenty of groundwork laid for the upcoming winter meetings, December 7 - 10.
My trade proposal if we don't resign Fowler:
Cubs acquire CF Jake Marisnick and LF Robbie Grossman
Astros acquire RHRP Pedro Strop, OF Matt...
My suggestions for waiver pickups (if available) right before the rosters expand on September 1:
1) Cameron Maybin - Atlanta is in a dealing mood and we have a recent trade history with them. Maybin is protection in case of outfielder injury, especially Fowler.
Venable and Byrd are gone.
2)...
Both in trouble again. Were both of these guys from the University of Missouri? Like Justin Blackmon, no matter the talent, stay away from red flags in the first round. Better yet, stay away period!
