Here's a picture from my encounter. I noticed the book in Baker's hand, and it appears to be the following:

https://books.google.com/books/about/In_a_Pit_with_a_Lion_on_a_Snowy_Day.html?id=7g4GFBzTI6QC#v=onepage&q&f=false

The byline is "How to survive and thrive when opportunity roars"

Right not wrong with that but it just doesn’t play well inside an NFL locker room  

He’s literally the reason the team quit twice last year. If the QB isn’t a leader and the HC is a buffoon there’s nobody for the locker room to follow.

Man it sounds like he is maturing.  I mean he is saying and doing all the right things (changing his contract for incentives, welcoming the open competition, practicing with WRs during dead periods).  IF and I know it's a big IF he has matured, his photographic memory with his arm talent could very well be a steal for us.  I want to get excited, but I will need to "see it to believe it" at this point.

I hate to disrupt the echo chamber, but by all accounts, the players really like Rhule.

Then why’d they quit on him? To be fair a person can be well liked but terrible at their job at the same time I guess 🤷‍♂️

I can see that though 3-2-6 is also one we ran a ton with Hartsfield as well, can imagine those are the packages with Horn in the nickel and Hartsfield still the 3rd safety.  6 DBs would be Chinn, Woods, Harts, Horn, Jackson, Hendo.   It seemed like we ran oddball stack formations (3-3-5 and 3-2-6) like 70%+ of our snaps last year.

The interesting thing is that Wilson's run-D gives us more flexibility with the DBs used.  He'll be the stable dude next to Shaq as an improvement over Luvu (who I like) and Littleton (mixed-bag). 

The pressure then lies up front for Brown to sh*t or get off the pot.

Might be part of the reason our run D was so poo the last 2/3 of the year or so.  Kinda hard to stack up when you have 6 DBs and 2 LBs on the field as your base D.

That brings up something I meant to ask @ellis

John, what's your opinion of Anderson as a WCO receiver?

West Coast Offenses certainly do make use of deep threats (Reid used to do it all the time in Philly) but the primary skill set needed is the ability to catch a quick pass and run it for a lot of yards. Pure deep threats tend to work better in a Coryell.

Anderson is certainly a deep threat, but have you seen enough of him as a RAC guy to endorse him in our system? Heaven knows his hands were an issue last year.

I feel like I've definitely seen him do that before, just not sure if I've seen it enough.

We could have YAC for DAYS with the guys we've got.  Robbie is one of the fastest guys in the league and we all know what CMC and Moore can do with the ball in their hands.

Yep. When you look at the skill positions, we have damn near ideal personnel for running a WCO.

O-line and QB have been holding this offense back for literal years now.  We've at least upgraded QB to middle of the pack, and the o line could actually be a strength of the team this year instead of bottom 5 in the NFL.  More and more I am getting excited about the prospects of this team as a whole this year.  Defense is looking very strong, and Horn is not even really playing.  We can seriously make some noise in a depleted NFC this year.

Players liked Ron Rivera too. Last time we saw that guy his team was kicking our ass. Matt has as much to prove as anyone.

      ARTICLE: Rams paid a big price in trade with Panthers to move up 13 spots for Braden Fiske

      By WarPanthers89 · Posted

      Article:  The Rams must love rookie defensive lineman Braden Fiske, because they paid the Panthers a fortune to move up in the second round and draft him. To move up from No. 52 to No. 39 and draft Fiske, the Rams gave up the 155th overall pick in this year’s draft, as well as the Rams’ second-round pick in next year’s draft. That’s a rare price to pay, for a move up of just 13 spots in the second round. In fact, according to Seth Walder of ESPN Analytics, the Rams overpaid by the most any team has overpaid to move up on Day Two of the draft in at least the last six years. Ultimately, the Rams used two second-round picks and a fifth-round pick on Fiske. That’s a lot to spend. For the Panthers, it’s a great deal that nets them a second-round pick next year in addition to Jonathon Brooks, the running back the Panthers drafted after making another trade that packaged the two picks they got from the Rams. The Panthers didn’t have a 2025 second-round pick, having shipped it to Chicago in last year’s Bryce Young trade, but now they have a second-round pick after making a good trade on Friday. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/rams-paid-a-big-price-in-trade-with-panthers-to-move-up-13-spots-for-braden-fiske

      Panthers Select Chau Smith-Wade DB - Round 5, Pick 157

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah I don’t think I’d like this guy outside, he doesn’t fit that in the NFL.  I think he needs to stick to nickel and ST to help the defense, he’d probably contribute. I think he’d be a liability outside. I like him okay though, looking forward to seeing him.  Actually that is probably how I feel about all the picks, I like them okay and am looking forward to seeing them. I feel like they were taken for a good reason; though I may not see it yet. One shouldn’t expect to go straight down the line hit every one, butI think we’ll hit on a couple of guys in this group. 4 would be great.

      Panthers Select Xavier Legette WR - Pick 32, Round 1

      By rayzor · Posted

      i know, but to a degree to can still apply, imo. yes, the guy is a unicorn. crazy circumstances and situations i think kept him away from opportunity to prove themselves for a longer period of time. and in that he and cam are similar. cam took a couple years before he was put in a situation to show what he could do given then opportunity. same wit XL. different circumstances, for sure, but really they were drafted based on one one year of production where they looked dominant. does that mean he's going to be the cam newton of WRS? probably not.  one of the arguments against cam was that he had only one year of "real" production at a high level and those arguments were furthered by the lack of people who had transitioned into a legit starter after so little starting experience.  they were/are both unicorns.
