Prepping for Senior Bowl week with OptimumScouting.com

Mike Iupati was one of the breakout stars of last year’s Senior Bowl. Who will be there this year? With apologies to the East-West Shrine Game, Senior Bowl week is when my excitement for draft prospects and hidden gems really starts up.

The Big “What If”: What if the Rams had drafted Suh?

“With the first overall pick in the 2010 draft, the Saint Louis Rams select… Ndamukong Suh, Nebraska!” I’m not ashamed to say that I was a member of the “Draft Suh” contingent among Rams fans, as were many of us. In the first rev of our 2010 Mock Draft, back in February of last year, […]

Total Drama Tuesday: just another day for new Rams coach Josh McDaniels

The Rams just got a helluva coach… After what must have been a pretty successful interview and two days of contract negotiations between the Rams and Josh McDaniels, Michael Lombardi of the NFL Network (and  a GM candidate in San Francisco earlier this month) thought that things should be wrapping up today, one way or […]

The OC: Coming Soon?

Is the Rams’ OC drama short-lived, or only beginning? “Josh McDaniels’ return to the NFL is expected to come within the next 24 hours, and it sounds like he’s headed to St. Louis.” — ProFootballTalk.com Things have been awful quiet around St. Louis following the much-trumpeted interview on Saturday between Josh McDaniels and the Rams’ […]

The Rams drafted him #1 in 2010; would you draft him in your fantasy league in 2011?  The difference between real football success and fantasy success couldn’t be starker than in the case of Sam Bradford. 2010’s runaway offensive rookie of the year contender took every snap for his young team and looked like a […]

A look at Josh McDaniels, Part 2: Creative Disruption

The left coast of Missouri has no love for McD… surely that’s reason enough to accept him, right?

When […]

Tomorrow’s most pressing question: do they make hoodies in blue and gold?

But that doesn’t mean that we can’t talk broader draft strategy, areas of need, and start slotting in types of players […]

MaryKayCabot ESPN’s Chris Mortensen reported that according to NFL executives, Rams OC Pat Shurmur is emerging as the frontrunner for the Browns top job. FtblSickness Yep. BUT, 2 things on which I trust Holmgren: QB’s and coaches. RT @AaronAloysius: @FtblSickness “Meh” appears to be consensus on Shurmur. Sam Bradford is almost a shoo-in for the […]

Playoff Report: How to be a Wildcard

Wildcard Weekend: Seahawks (7-9) vs Saints (11-5) Saturday, January 9, 2011 41 36 “Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they’ve been given than to explore the power they have to change it.

Your ridiculously early look at the draft, Part I: Wide Receivers

To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism. To steal from many is research. The regular season built to a roar, then finished with a whimper. In less than a week, though, the myriad possibilities that the Rams of 2011 could take as they continue to rebuild have taken over our conversation as Rams fans. […]

2010 RamsHerd Awards

The Rams’ season has come to an end and it’s time to reflect a little bit before diving into the boiling ocean of the offseason.
