Hey Mutigers: If they are bringing in Takeo Spikes for a look see, why not McGahee and Vonta Leech for that matter. Leech is 6'0 and 260lb. That is a monster of a back and Baltimore just released him as well.

Leach has a lot left in him, I'd love to scoop him up. Question is cap space.

They seem to like Ganaway as the "big" back

I had forgotten about Ganaway. Still could bring a vet presence.

 

[Jermaine133]

I don't know about this Ganaway fellow....seems like a scrub to me. Then again I could be wrong. What is the skinny on this guy? I like the idea of Leach blocking for the youngin's for a good year or 2.

 

[Retroram52]

Hey Jermaine. He was drafted in the 6th round by the Jets in the 2012 draft and of course Brian Shottenheimer is the one that drafted him. He played at Baylor and was a pretty consistent and decent running back. Fisher thinks he'll fluorish under Shottenheimer here. There are some pretty decent vids on the web of his play. His is another low squatty player much like the rest of our backs we now have on the roster.

thanks Retro,

Well Everyone. We are a month away from training camp and there is a boatload of changes. Gone are the remnants of a screwed-up era of Ram football. Fisher and Snead have put togther a potential powerhouse.

We lost Deacon Jones and the NFL has presented the annual DEacon Jones sack award has a memorial to the Deacon and awarded to the sack leader for the year. It would be fitting if Chris Long or Robert Quinn won the first one this year.

Lots of changes on offense and the new offense is being billed as High-octane. Sammie is delighted to say the least at all of his new toys including a new big left tackle and some serious speed at the WR position.

I am chompin' away at the bit awaiting this month to fly by. We shall see how we stack up come August and September. Stay tuned.

Side note but I heard the Bengals are interested in claiming Aaron Hernandez...

 

[Red_Chaos]

and to think i wanted him in the 4th round...

 

[Retroram52]

You can keep the dude. By the time all of the details get revealed, this Fernandez is probably going to be a convicted felon. The Pats also are pursuiing steps to recoup some of the $10 mill they paid this guy in a signing bonus and other incentives after they cut his ass. It remains to be witnessed just how much they recover. Freakin' dumbass thinks he is above the law!!

Maybe this will solidify Fisher's message to dudes like J. Jenkins and Givens who have tendencies to hang out with the wrong knuckleheads that for one to have a successful NFL career these days, you have to protect your ASSests!!!

and to think i wanted him in the 4th round...

I think most fans wondered why he slipped in the draft and this is the reason. He is a 'character issue' guy and there is a risk/reward to that

 

[mutigers1fan]

He's still going to be a cap hit for a few years for the Patriots as I understand it. Don't know specifics though.

 

[Retroram52]

Yea Mutigers. The Pats are going to take a cap hit but are petitioning teh NFL to have it reduced as well as attempting to re-coup incentives and some of the signing bonus. The Pats are already talking to the Chiefs to trade for a TE. Stick a fork in Hernandez, that boy is toast-ola.

 

[RamCub]

No reduction to the Patriot's cap hit should be allowed. You reap the benefits of Hernandez on the field, you pay the cost for him off the field! They made their own bed! Now they have to deal with it!!!

 

[Retroram52]

Yea RamsCub. I think that is what the NFL is going to comeback with as well.

Tony Moeaki is the rumor I heard.

 

[Retroram52]

Tony Moeaki is the dude in question.

 

[bluepigpen]

I heard yesterday, I believe it was 78% of Tom Brady's passes last season went to people not on the roster now or can't raise their arms above their head.Patriot fans must be proud of recent decisions

 

[Retroram52]

Does that now include Amendola, Blue?
