~Bear Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 NFC West is going to be a fun division next year. Rams are upgrading an already stacked roster and the 49ers are looking good too (if they can play like they did in those final 5 weeks). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did not expect them to bail on Cooks so fast, especially now that they lost Amendola. Wonder what they’re going to do with that 23rd pick though. Bill obviously has his eye on someone. They took last year's #32 and 103 overall for a one year rental of Cooks for #23 overall this year and don't pay the fifth year option for Cooks. Plus keep #31 overall for now.

Brass Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 This is strange. Not only was trading for Cooks unlike the Patriots, but then trading someone for actual value is unlike the Patriots, too. I don't know what Bill has up his sleeve, but I trust him. On 4/10/2017 at 3:05 PM, Rollins Man said: what the hell is ccslc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Still MIGHTY Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 I like having Cooks. Essentially a faster replacement for Watkins at the X. Another weapon in the trunk. But losing the No. 23 is a tough price. Especially when most had the Rams slotted for LB help there. It's up and down. But I'll feel a lot better about it if they can lock down Cooks and not have him be an exact replacement of Watkins and leave after the season. But signs point to good things in that department as he's a California guy and shares the same agent as Goff. Here's to hoping. On 4/1/2018 at 7:04 AM, Seadragon76 said: Meh...

Tracy Jordan Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 The trouble with Sammy Watkins was he just wasn't targeted enough in that offense. Woods and Kupp were the go-to targets last year for the most part. I hope that Goff decides to just let it rip this year because Cooks is about as dangerous of a downfield weapon as you'll find. Man this Rams team is loaded with talent. This is as good of an offense as they've had since Bulger/Jackson/Holt/Bruce, if not better. I just worry that they might struggle the way the 2011 Eagles did with expectations being so high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been assuming that Lamar Jackson was going to fall to the Patriots all offseason because most of the league's GMs are stupid and kind of racist.

Was Brian Sipe not available? Stan Bartkowski? Either no one wanted that job, or they are going out of their way to avoid picking up players that will cause any type of media stampede, or Ozzie Newsome is giving them the middle finger on his way out the door.

Dalcowboyfan92 Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 People like to throw Dak under the bus because of his horrible 2018 campaign, but Dez has been on a decline since 2015. I don't think he's truly recovered from the foot injury he suffered in 2015. He runs routes willy-nilly, making it extremely easy for the opposing No. 1 corner to lock him down. He then gets upset at Dak for what is essentially; his fault. Rumblings from within the team was that Dez was very stubborn in learning the route tree they have; Dez preferred to run the routes he wanted, and where he wanted. In order to be paid like a Number 1 receiver, you have to play like a Number 1 receiver; something Dez hasn't been since 2014. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockstar Matt Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 This is some straight bs. Dez is still an elite WR, but because the coaches suck so much in Dallas and refused to do anything creative to get Dez the ball like teams do other great WR’s, he couldn’t put up the numbers he once did. I hope he goes to Philly, New England, New Orleans or the LA Rams and plays under an actual good coaching system so he can prove he’s still an elite WR. Eff this.

He cannot separate at all and when in your ninth year you now hire a "Route Guru", you are not worth the price tag you are carrying. Now, Jerry will likely avoid defense in Round 1 and take a WR. 11 minutes ago, Rockstar Matt said: This is some straight bs.

He isn't going to get Sammy Watkins money. He may not even get half. In all, this was something that Rich Dalrymple couldn't fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
