Rounding up the Herd: WR Edition

“Get in where you fit” and “Know your role,” both great lines and words that carry a lot of weight with the Ram’s crop of WR’s this offseason.  Something that stuck with before the 2010 NFL Draft was a comment by Rams GM Billy Devaney. He talked about the Ram’s need to improve talent wise […]

The Rams and more Randy Moss rumors… really?

One non-courtroom item in the PFT rumor mill today has the Rams potentially lining up for Randy Moss’ services this season. Not that anyone has talked to anyone, or that any “agreements” (wink, wink) are in place, just that the Rams might be a fit. Josh McDaniels’ experience with Moss in New England is cited […]

Forgetting the Lockout, Remembering 2010

My memory is a little fuzzy, who is this guy again? I am a patient boy, I’ll wait I’ll wait I’ll wait I’ll wait. But this waiting for something substantial to happen, for the business of football to get back to normal, is torturous. The mental pathways that were once devoted to the Rams, to […]

Infographic: Stretching the Field

Sam Bradford, playing in Pat Shurmur's west coast offense in his rookie year, was compared to a Lamborghini racing around a supermarket parking lot. Josh McDaniels was brought to St. Louis to change all of that.   In his first offseason with the Rams, McDaniels made an immediate impact on the Rams' draft board… but perhaps […]

Tenth Circle of Hell: Fake Player Twitterers

Using one fake Twitter account to vouch for another one? Brilliant. And disgusting. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool Rams fans with your fake Twitter antics twice? There’s a special circle of hell waiting for you, reserved for fame-chasing syncophants.  It’s pretty sickening, really. Twice already someone has registered RQuinn42 and tried to attach […]

Rounding up the Herd: Post-Draft Grades Edition

Grades for the draft are handed out like those for a test, A, B, C, well you get the point. However a rather larger difference exists between the two types of grades. On a test for example there are right and wrong answers and for the most part a finite number of answers. One would […]

NFC West: Division Draft Recap

The NFC West has been the butt of jokes now for years. In the very short term, this year’s draft class will do little to change that. The West has gone without a “respectable” division power since the days of the Greatest Show Rams and the Steve Hutchinson Seahawks. (Yes, I’m glossing over a surprising […]

2011 Draft: Rams passing on RBs in late rounds.

The Rams are quite the passing team now. Even after Billy Devaney all but promised to find help in the running game for Steven Jackson in the draft, the Rams have ‘passed’ on backs over and over, draft after draft.  Last year, the Rams got leapfrogged by Detroit for Jahvid Best at the tail end […]

Rams continue building a “good hands” team, draft Greg Salas

Seeing a trend? We sure are. When Josh McDaniels took over the offensive coordinator position, much was made of the versatility of his scheme, and his ability to work with the talent give him. Accordingly, few expected as complete an overhaul of the offensive skill positions that the Rams draft has shown so far. Despite […]

Rams Add Red Zone Playmaker In Round Three

Boise State’s Titus Young and Austin Pettis were both Day 2 picks in the NFL Draft Austin Pettis became the newest Ram when he was selected with the 78th overall pick on Friday night.  Without a doubt, Pettis comes from one of the most prolific offenses in the country at Boise State.  Boise State ranked […]

Rounding up the Herd: 1st Round Edition

Well we all got it wrong. Myself and the other writes here at RamsHerd.  Kiper, McShay, Mayock…all of us, and I’m glad we did.   No one had DE Robert Quinn from North Carolina falling to the Rams at 14. And this didn’t have the same feel as 2003 When DT Jimmy Kennedy fell to St. Louis. […]

Did we call it? McDaniels gets his 2nd round TE

The Rams had Marvin Austin, Stephen Paea, Torrey Smith, Mikel Leshoure and plenty of other highly touted talents lined up in front of them with the 45th pick, and took… Wisconsin TE Lance Kendricks? Come again? I mean, the Kyle Rudolph draft day rumor was just smoke, right? Josh McDaniels’ predilection for overdrafting guys would […]

Debunking a Day 2 Story: Could the Rams Really Take Kyle Rudolph?

McDaniels overdrafting tight ends? Would ne-e-e-e-e-ever happen. High on the list of Day Two needs and wish list items for the Rams: defensive tackle, outside linebacker, running back, wide receiver. Nowhere to be found on that list of offensive weapons, though, is tight end. I mean, why would there be, with three already on the […]

NFL Draft: Round One Recap (Picks 17-32)
