Rams trade 2 picks to Tampa for Mark Barron

[Retroram52]

To those of you who are continuing to evaluate the draft, here's a story that will give some a smile and piss others off. For those who thought we should have gone after Clowney, this story may set some things straight. I think.

Is it bad that the only thing I took from that article is that there was zero mention of Aaron Donald?

P.S... I didn't want Clowney at all.

 

[Retroram52]

No Caynine, it isn't bad because the Rams are a franchise that writers don't even bother with. Sort of like ESPN and their bias.

And I was looking for them to mention him when they were speaking of Clowney's lack of play with ailments especially since Donald was listed as probable for the 9er game even though he had a shoulder ailment.

I'm going to go with a simple oversight because Eric Adelson is with Yahoo Sports and not a real part of talking heads like they have at ESPN as Retroram suggests.

I'll tell you this much, he won't be overlooked by the end of the season if he keeps up his play...

On track for a 6 sacks for an interior lineman AND as a rookie!

Interesting side note: The Rams have won every game Donald has recorded a sack in!

 

[Retroram52]

That's a nice statistical marker to look for Vita. Donald gets a sack, our chances of winning improve significantly.

Retro, if that *stat can hold for the rest of the season, here's to Donald getting 11 in the regular season this year!

Yep, you got that right.

One per game from here on out plus the three he already has!

11-5 Anyone?

Sounds good to me!

By the way, speaking of statistical markers, I'm glad we put one to rest yesterday that you've been pointing to all season in your frustration posts.

Just so you know, it was never about you or saying you're wrong or anything. It was always about buying into a two win season, especially so early on in the season. Now that's all I'm gonna say about that unless you willingly open the door to further dialog.

~ Cheers brother!

Yep, I am glad that went by the wayside. Hopefully we have turned a corner for good and this week's game is going to be an even tougher task because the Cards are 7 and 1. Some stats are true and some are not and that one is now in the "not" category. No offense taken.

What a great trade that turned it out to be.

 

[Retroram52]

Kudos for finding the correct thread Snake Eyes. Somebody out there gets it!

 

[Rambunctious]

Cool...

 

[Caynine29]

I'll admit.... I thought the guy was kinda "meh" when we initially made the trade. Man, was I wrong! LOVE this kid!

 

[Retroram52]

I second that Caynine29. Barron has become a premier player and man-o-man does he bring the lumbar on the tackle. I like him at both LB and safety.

Hey @Caynine29 !!!

How you doing brother?

 

[Jermaine133]

Is Baron mainly featured in the big Nickle? I know he's subbing in for Ogletree at LB for now.

Typically, yes. With Tree out, he's essentially a starting outside LB.

Should have been playing opposite Ogletree to begin with!

Hey @Caynine29 !!!

Good, thanks. Been caught up in so many other forums that I somehow let my SportsHoopla participation fall by the wayside. Lol.

Well, never forget your old SeeBS pals over here on the hoop!
