Against Seattle?

I'd say that's worse!

Okay I'm just giving you the opinion of licensed physicians who have actually spent time with Olsen's foot 

The same ones who said he was good to go for week one?

Doctors know a lot, but they're far from infallible. They might be able to predict how long it will take this current injury to heal. That doesn't stop it from being injured again, or from something else happening.

Every NFL player eventually reaches the point where their body is just too banged up to be effective anymore. Very few of them retire before they reach that point. I'm worried that Olsen has hit the wall, and I'm not alone.

I hope he comes back fully healthy, but I'm not counting on it.

There was only one sack given up that game, and that was by Vasquez on a blitz.

They only ran the ball 13 times that entire game.

So can Williams come back or not? That’s all I really want to know.

Yes, but we do not know if he will.

Pretty sure Ron Rivera would like to know that too.

I don't know if anybody can say with any certainty right now.

I don’t think there is any difference at this point. I think pre-first 53 it mattered, but now IR is IR and you just have the option of bringing 2 back off IR after a minimum of 8 weeks.

So glad we IR’d Sirles with a hamstring 3 weeks ago when he looked good at RT against the Pats before getting hurt. That was an IR where he couldn’t come back. 

Sirles has since been let go with an injury settlement. He's not even part of the team anymore.

I don't believe in blowing your wad on FAs but the Rams tried for K Mack after everything else they did this off-season and we won't even get a half terrible tackle after all our line problems.

I believe the Rams are betting tomorrow against today with their cap space. They are trying to push everything into this year and next, make the big wins and get a home team feel going in LA again. I think they may find themselves in cap hell if they aren't careful.

We've been there and it sucked.

It's actually a smart approach for Les Snead. You spend all the money you can before you have to pay your QB. The have flexible cap space at the moment bc the QB is on a rookie contract.

Secondly, Suh is on a one year deal, and peters is still on his rookie deal. Talib has one year after this left also. Joyner is on a franchise tag tender. 

Rams have plenty of flexibility. They have a 2 year window with the players they have to win it all.

I know. I was pissed that we wasted the opportunity. I would have waived the trash and kept Sirles on the 53. It’s have to be a ridiculous hamstring injury for it to be that long. Could have possibly also had him designated to return at worst if Williams couldn’t return this year. fuging trash would still have been available to pick up today and wouldn’t have blocked the XP. Wasting a spot on the 53 for trash is dumb. I’d rather have a second kicker. 

Why? Sirles is still not healthy and would have taken up a roster spot. No one has signed him either. We would have had 3 injured tackles taking up roster spots.....

We put him on IR before the 53, which meant he could never play for us this year. I would have waived Amini if only to get Sirles on IR where it was an option to bring him back when healthy. You think after 10 weeks from injury he’d still be hurt? If so, do the same injury settlement. We could have picked up Amini at any time. No one would have picked up that trash. I just hate us working around Amini as if he was a valuable piece that someone would have wanted. 

I dont think I am following you here.

From what ive gathered, you would have preferred that we waived a player who can play for us now (amini), for a player that we would wait for 10 weeks to come back as a back up? While possibly occupying 1 of 2 spots for someone to come off of IR, when we already knew Kalil would occupy one of those. Basically leaving us in a place where if anyone needs to be IR'd they are done for the year and cant return, due to the fact we needed a backup lineman to come off of IR?

From David Glenn Show - Moton, Thomas, and now Clark all playing in loud environment with Cam for the first time. Moton at T. Expect a lot of false starts. 

Not sure I agree. Maybe. I think we have disciplined culture when it comes to pre-snap penalties I don't think it will be an issue.

What do you think?

Jeremiah Sirles can be re-signed after week 5

Read what I quoted, then read the OP, he edited it. Never specified what super bowl it when. I swear I can read and comprehend, but when it's in bullet form.... It's just a basic statement
