Random Ramsdom, 9/2: Rams Wrap up Perfect Preseason

The Rams have wrapped up their preseason schedule last night by beat the Jaguars 24-17. They won every game in the preseason, but does it really mean anything? Not really. The Rams are usually a very good preseason team and everyone knows the preseason has nothing to do with the regular season. The Colts never play well in the preseason, but they still win boat loads of games each year. With that said, it still feels very good to win all of them.
On to the links
Here's the game recap from VanRam. He mentioned the starters played very well and look like they are ready to start the season. He also mentions the controversy(?) between AJ Feely and Thad Lewis.
Donnie Avery made a good impression on Devanney
On the broadcast last night, Devanney was being interviewed. During this time when they were talking about the WRs, he mentioned that draft status doesn't matter, it doesn't matter how you got here. He also mentioned when Donnie Avery was making some plays.
"Here is Donnie Avery showing up again," Devaney told analyst Marshall Faulk after being asked whether the final preseason game can force a team to keep a certain player. "He's having a helluva game so far."
Also about the importance of the final preseason game for roster spots.
"It's the last thing on your mind as you go into the final cuts," Devaney said. "You kind of focus on that last game, good and bad. You have to look at the whole game, the practices, the scrimmage, but it is a huge part of that process.
Jim Thomas of the Post seems to think he will. I also think that putting him on PUP is the most probable thing. I don't' think his knee is entirely heathy yet and he still has to learn the offense. He could us the time off to rehab his knee with team doctors and learn the playbook with the coaches. After 6 weeks the Rams can reassess the WR position and decide what direction to go then.
Here's van roster prediction for the defense (the offense is linked in the post.) Cutdown day is Saturday and we are all wondering will the Rams cut the rookie WRs, will they keep 7 WRs, how many TEs make the team, and if they will keep 2 or 3 QBs? We will all know soon.
Have a good one and GO RAMS!!!

Winning our pre-season games this year have a different "feel" to them
These were games that were won because we were good enough to win. It seems that in the last couple of years we just kinda won some pre-season games by default. These games really felt different.

True!! We need a victory over the Eagles to validate the 4-0 preseason

No such thing as validating the preseason... it is over and results mean nothing.
Back ups and cut players helped win those games. The Rams could have been 1-3 just as easy and I would feel the same based on the players who will see the field in the regular season. That is what got my attention during the preseason and makes me think 10 wins is not absurd.
There are results that mean something...
NO INJURIES. And a final roster set!

The wins feel different this year-

Win or Lose
As long as our starters out perform the other starters that’s all i cared about. Overall there was some rust to chink of the armour but for a shortened off season and new faces it went well. Let’s get the real show on the road now!
Mark Clayton for insurance-

The quiet threat.
They could pay Mark just to be there as a reminder that you better step your game up. I don’t think that is why they signed him but doesn’t hurt as a side effect.
I'm not sure yet that they aren't going to just activate him. MAYBE no PUP?

( The Rams are usually a very good preseason team and everyone knows the preseason has nothing to do) )with the regular season.
Rams use to suck in the pre-season….Before Bradford
since when?
The difference the past two years compared to the Marc Bulger years, first team offense scored in each of the games.
the pre-season is a load of hooey
I’m just glad we didn’t get any key players hurt. My main observations are: (1) the starters look pretty good, and (2) aside from a sack and kick block against the Chiefs, our 1st round pick Robert Quinn was the new “Mr. Invisible.” Playing against the Jags 2nd and 3rd stringers he had zero stats; no tackles, no assists, no nuthin’. I wonder how long it will take him to “develop.” Looks like James Hall’s job is safe for awhile.
Quinn is rookie who has been "practicing" for 4 weeks and didn't play football for over a year
The fact that he is even playing, and actually making a difference in some games is significant in itself.
He was considered raw coming out, and that’s exactly what we have found out. Have you ever played sports? When something is new, you approach is tentatively. You don’t go out there going balls to the wall because you don’t know your exacty role. That leads to more thinking which usually doesn’t allow you to play up to your full ability. I guarantee towards the end of the year, he will be very useful and next year he will be a starter.
Sam Bradford
Play sports? Naah, just fb, bb, softball, boxing, martial arts, tennis and golf. All I play anymore is golf.
Why should I cut Quinn slack cause he got booted from playing his Sr. year by violating the rules? Isn’t that 4-pillars stuff? At least 3 other team wouldn’t even consider him due to potential health issues. I’m on record as having wanted Liuget. I think we took a BIG risk on Quinn that may not pay off.
Then you should know that getting back into a sport
after not doing it for a year is not easy, especially at the pro level. We will see…
Sam Bradford
It was his junior year,
showing that he is that much younger. He played two years of college sports and was away from it for a full year before still being drafted top 15. There is a reason he went that high even under his circumstances.

I bet the quarterbacks
of the second and fourth game would argue that he was Mr. Invisible. Your inability to be patient with draft picks is honestly fucking ridiculous. They’re there to develop into great players, and everyone and their mothers knew that Robert Quinn was a project pick after being COMPLETELY AWAY FROM FOOTBALL FOR A YEAR. Literally away from it all, not just missing games, missing practices too.

Lance Briggs anyone?
"I have something 95 percent of all those All-Stars only wish they had: a World Series ring. If I had to choose between that and being an All-Star, it would be no contest. I’d grab the gold ring and never look back." -Tim Salmon
Yes want him
but no won’t get him. Maybe Selvie and a 5th? Then again, he wants big money and where would that come from?
"The only thing better than watching the Rams win is watching the Rams win with my wife."
Selvie
and a 5th… HAHAHAHA even if we could afford him, WHO in their right mind would take that offer?
