Wow. Panic button for the Rams?

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">It’s happening: Former Jaguars’ CB Jalen Ramsey is being traded to the LA Rams for two first-round picks in 2020 and 2021, and a fourth-round pick in 2021, source tells ESPN.</p>— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) <a href="https://twitter.com/AdamSchefter/status/1184253415607717888?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 15, 2019</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

They need more than him...

Jalen Ramsey traded for 2 1st round picks and a 2021 4th round pick to the LA Rams - just saw on NFL Network

Way too much, but that's how the rams roll, they buy players.

Yeah agreed. Maybe start with a QB who has better stats than 7 TDs : 7 INTs?

Blake Bortles is in the wings.

Have to admit, curious to see how Bortles would do in a pro offense with competent coaching.

The Rams do not have a 1st round pick until 2022. They'll be competing for the top pick by then.

Raiders offensive tackle Trent Brown has been sued in California for domestic violence. There's something about that Raiders culture...

Yep.

2017: to Tennessee for Jared Goff
2018: to New England for Brandin Cooks
2019: to Atlanta in trade down
2020-21: to Jacksonville for Jalen Ramsey


Not only that but here are the Rams starting offensive line pass-blocking ratings per PFF:

LT Andrew Whitworth 32nd/75 OTs
LG Jamil Demby 76th/77 OGs
C Brian Allen 31st/33 Cs
RG Austin Blythe 72nd/77 OGs
RT Rob Havenstein 74th/75 OTs


Their fall from grace couldn't have been any faster. Corbett can't make up for all that fail.

Mariotta has been benched for Tannehill.
Feel bad for Vrabel.

Why? Brady is heading there as a free agent next season.

 

[Dwight Schrute]

I hope this is sarcastic.

I don’t know why this theme took such traction. They aren’t close. Adding Brady guarantees nothing. And Tom jumping after 20 to Tennessee of all places? Nah. That won’t happen.

Yes, it was a joke referencing Brady's effectively 1 year deal and no franchise tag possible.

Aaron Rodgers is dropping off the cliff according to the Athletic



The dropoff has been stark. Since 2015, Rodgers’ per-play efficiency has fallen outside of the top 10, currently ranking No. 13 of 48 and behind players such as Carson Wentz, Matt Ryan and Kirk Cousins.

That’s what I figured.

Is it too early to tell you guys Steelers end up 12-4?

 

[grog]

Is it too early to tell you guys Steelers end up 12-4?

Right now it feels like the Pats go 16-0 and the rest of the AFC ties at 8-8 with the Dolphins going 0-16.

More like 8-8 (losses to Colts, Bills, Ravens, and one surprise team).

 

[AnOldTroll]

One thing for certain no loss or no win this week. So i (we) can STFU for a bit.

Hell, on balance that's a win!

Congrats!

Oops. Maybe the Eagles should have kept Nick Foles. It's not all on Carson Wentz though. The Eagles D is simply dreadful.

Warren Sharp@SharpFootball
In the last 30 years, no team has allowed 20+ first half points thru week 7 more times than the Eagles (5 times).
They are tied with the 2002 Bengals, who also allowed 20+ first half points 5 times.

Gardner Minshew and the Jaguars have faced the TOUGHEST schedule of Pass Defenses from weeks 1-6.

Weeks 7-17...the Jags face the EASIEST schedule of Pass Defenses which includes the 30th ranked Bengals yesterday. Minshew was due for a big game and he got it.
