After watching Miami on Hard Knocks I like a lot of their guys. Might be good for the media attention of the team.

I think now with Gregg Williams in the fold, I think the NFL is going to do everything but BEG the Rams to do Hard Knocks

I had thought of that ksu, I think it largely depends on the draft too. A player like Johnny Football or Michael Sam could be a story they want.

Well one mock I saw has the Rams taking Sam in the 4th... I, for one, would have ZERO issues with a player like Sam on my team...

This. Hard Knocks is going to target the team Sam goes to or the team Manziel goes to. They are 2 of the most interesting 'reality' targets. The combine ratings on those 2 alone are going to be massive ratings.

Gregg Williams would be a big story, too, but not on that level. I wouldn't mind Hard Knocks but I don't think we'll get it unless we draft Clowney or a QB. Then it becomes a circus and we wouldn't want it

The 3 teams that make sense for Sam are: the Patriots, the Jets and the Chiefs. If I had to guess, Id say he goes to the Chiefs around the 5th round. Andy Reid protects his players, he is a good fit in the 3-4 and the Chiefs have a lot of Mizzou fans.

Agreed, it's just a matter of fit. He seems like a better fit in a 3-4, as he may have trouble in coverage.

2 thoughts:
#1 I wouldn't have a problem with Sam as a Ram with the exception of not needing pass rushers. He would play DE in St Louis and he's not going to be cracking the lineup much with what is already in place.

#2 An uncommon opinion but having seen Sam play a lot of football I actually think he could be a really good 4-3 DE. Sure many project him as a 3-4 OLB but I see him as a potential Leonard Little type.

Yea Shopson, I have seen that show. When asked, many of the players find it to be annoying more than anything.

Looks like the Dodgers are going to have a similar show as part of their new TV deal.
