So, much better to listen to we amateurs posting on LG?


I don't listen to any amateurs. Especially when it comes to the Rams. I value the insight of ex professional players like Andrew Whitworth. The Rams have been one of the most successful nfl franchises the past decade for a reason.

Proof will be in the pudding soon enough. We'll just have to see how good this defense is when the season starts.

Update from our rivals.

Quote:
From @gmfb: The #49ers and hold-in WR Brandon Aiyuk remain in a standoff while a resolution with holdout Trent Williams isn’t close.

I'm not sure if this was purely informational or to present a valid comparison of the two teams. If the latter, yeah, I agree, from what I know, the Rams did a better job of keeping the messy out, and, thus, the focus in.

The Rams defensive scheme isnt reliant on a dominant inside Linebacker. In fact, the league doesnt highly value the ILB position.
Word is, his lack of participation in camp due to his knee issues put him out of favor amongst other linebackers and he was expendable.

Health, performance and pending contract issues.

Having been thru the Spagnuolo and Jeff Fisher days.... I trust management did the right thing.

Sure is a lot of talk about Omar Speights, an undrafted rookie. He is likely a large part of the reason the Rams gave away Jones.

I had hoped AD would return but it looks like that's not going to happen.

As fun as it would be to see Donald playing for the Rams again and coming out of retirement like Eric Weddle did three years ago, he has no plans to make such a triumphant return to the field. He’s kept busy with his foundation and real estate investments, as well as his role with the Ready Nutrition brand.

The Rams starting cornerback Darious Williams is injured. He won't be eligble to play for 4 weeks. Big blow to the defense.

Detroit is in a better spot for this Week 1 game than they were before the preseason began. The Rams OL is severely banged up and now the pass defense is going to be stretched. The 3.5-point line will probably inch up before kickoff. It should, frankly. The game also has the highest point total of the entire Week 1 slate, so it should be a fun game with offensive fireworks.

Yeah, though I don't bet, especially with my teams, I would most certainly give the points and take Detroit.

As for the year, I'm thinking about 10 wins, the same as last year.

I'm not very optimistic about this game. Hopefully it's a competitive game.

The Kevin Hart, LeBron James commercial is hilarious.

Practicing in 115 degree heat all week will eventually get to them in this game.

Not a fan of the pass heavy approach with a compromised OLine.
McVay just can't help himself.

We should have thrown in a few runs but we are TOO pass heavy.
