Are the majority of Rams posters in this thread primarily fans of out-division teams? :confused:

It sure seems that way, but that's alright.

Having lived in LA, I know for a fact that LA residents give no fucks about sports teams in LA other than the Lakers. Clippers, Dodgers, angels, Kings, Chargers, Rams can all get hosed. Anyone claiming to like the rams are confirmed out of market fans.

PA Rams fan here, so you're correct in terms of this Rams fan.

I loved Marc Bulger, but he got David Carr'd out of the league by playing for GM Mike Martz.

I agree. I always used to say that if Bulger had a good line in front of him, he would have been very good. What he did with the garbage they had around him was pretty impressive.

How often were you wishing Martz was still the HC when gently caress face (Spags and Linehan, notwithstanding) was coaching the team into the depths of non-relevance? I certainly was, and Martz drove me loving crazy when he was HC.

Do you remember the timeout he called on the opening kickoff vs. Green Bay in 2003 or so (GB kicked to the Rams)? It was something like three seconds into the game and he didn't like something that happened after the kickoff and called a timeout. Three seconds in and you're calling a loving timeout, are you kidding me?!?

He used to do poo poo like that all the time that would piss off all Rams fans. Timeouts were of no concern to that guy.

Yeah, I thought he was pretty good, too. Where'd he go?

Any part of him may explode; especially one of his knees or shoulders. Maybe it'll be a new body part this year.

I think Brandin Cooks will have a better year the Rams this year than Sammy Watkins did last year just because Cooks and Goff will have the entirety of the offseason to work together.

I don't want to sound like a jackass here, but that's something a lot of people are predicting. I agree.

Cooks has had a great OTA/minicamp, and it's exciting to see, but I'm curious if his downfield blocking is up to par with Sammy's. Watkins was a killer downfield blocker last year. Maybe the best I've ever seen from a Rams WR.

I'm really excited to see Cooks in live action. It should be fun.

Also Cooks is better.

Whitworth I think has only missed 8 games in like 14 years I'm pretty sure, Sullivan is a risk to injury but he was also really loving good last year. They have replacements lined up for Whitworth and Sullivan in Notebloom and Allen which is good. Jamon Brown really is a replacement level guy and I'm pretty sure his 4-game suspension is going to cost him a starting job and a good second contract. Havenstein will get paid for sure, the Rams have 60 million in cap space as of right now next year and even if Donald gets 20m there's still enough to lock him up to a decent deal. Saffold is kind of the wildcard, he gets hurt though last year he stayed healthy and the Rams gave him a massive contract for a Guard that no one else really wanted him 5 years ago and I'm not sure there will be a market for him next year.

Really injuries are the risk for any team and I'm not sure there's anyone out there that could survive 2 starters going down without a massive drop in the quality of play. The Rams have lots of untested guys in backup positions right now so it would interesting to see if any of them could step up.

Jamon Brown's suspension is two games, but your assessment could very well happen if someone like Austin Blythe steps up in camp. I think he filled in quite nicely for Sullivan last year during bits and pieces of games, and he can play both center and guard.

I pretty much agree with everything you highlighted.

The way I understand it, the throw back classic yellow and gold's are being brought back this year for their five final home games (I assume the same for 2019). A new uniform will be introduced in 2020.

therams.com posted:

The Los Angeles Rams today announced in front of their Season Ticket Members at an exclusive Training Camp practice that they will introduce a new uniform look entering the 2020 season to coincide with the opening of LA Stadium at Hollywood Park.

Over the next two years leading up to 2020, the Rams will continue to honor their history in Los Angeles through their uniforms.

During 2018 home games at the Coliseum, the Rams will wear their throwback uniforms five times and their white uniforms four times. The team will wear their white uniforms for the first four home games, including two preseason and two regular season games. The Rams will then introduce their throwbacks on Thursday, September 27, when L.A. kicks off FOX’s inaugural Thursday Night Football package vs. the Minnesota Vikings and will wear them for subsequent games at the Coliseum.

Ah that's shorter than I thought, I still think it could cost him a job in the end, but then again he is a good run blocker. Maybe he can improve his pass protection enough to get a long-term deal.

During Aaron Kromer's presser on Monday, he kind of hinted at either Austin Blythe or Joseph Noteboom filling in for Jamon Brown during his suspension.
