This was a great signing IMO. Some people just want to crap on anything and everything.

And this current TE group (even if we don't add to it), is certainly better than last years and better than a lot of the TE groups in franchise history.

People are acting like we've traditionally had good TE groups. We've literally only had 2 Pro Bowl caliber TEs in team history in Walls & Olsen.

Hurst could easily end up being the 3rd best. I'll take it 100%. Not sure why other fans wouldn't.

Yeah Thomas/Tremble/Ricci are on notice. They had it way too easy under Rhule. They gotta compete for their spots now because at least one of them is gone

I can see Tremble being used in a hybrid HB/TE role while Thomas and Hurst are used in 2TE sets. Ricci and Sullivan may be odd men out and fighting for a final spot.

I could also see Thomas getting moved out the building and Tremble being the #2 and Ricci being the backup/ST guy.

It’s certainly possible but unlikely due to the cap hit. He’s also our best blocking TE which isn’t saying much. If we were able to get a better blocking TE in the draft e.g. that monster TE out of GA, then I’d certainly be comfortable bidding farewell to Thomas.

Something people shouldn't look past: Hurst in the playoffs this year. 

It may seem like an average TE line season stat wise, but he made some huge 3rd down conversions and other big plays in the playoffs against Buffalo and KC.  

The more I stew on this signing, the more I'm a fan.  He's a great locker room guy on top of it, just overall mucho bueno addition.

      Okay gentlemen, REAL talk...

      By strato · Posted

      Everybody made too much of that. The CBA and the 17 game schedule is what kills the cohesion we see in teams across the league in the opening games.  You decide, look at your depth and make informed decisions there or you get a an extra quarter or whatever two quarters with your ones.  Teams that are set don’t have those openings as much down the roster to evaluate but that ain’t everybody. It is quandary. I think they need that 4th preseason game back. But as I said, I don’t lay that as the excuse for Bryce to come out looking like he does to start seasons. He has an entire camp.

      Tell Me How Carolina Wins Against the Rams

      By strato · Posted

      Hey I said the 1pm west coast team, I said the up down up down and we were due for the up week.  You can’t know what is going to happen. There was a guy that detailed why the league would engineer a Panthers win to bring LA Rams back to the pack in conference standings.  Who really knows, and how much real belief do you have when citing these things? I generally have as much as my superstition allows. It rarely rises to an emotional experience. Usually it is more analytical. In terms of interest. When crazy poo happens and we win a game like today I for sure enjoy it.  I mean you have to think about it, how many times do you connect 2 4th and short situations for TDs? Who does that? That is like the most embarrassing thing for the Rams’ defense lol. That never happens and should never happen.  Expecting it to happen might not be a good plan. But it was pretty great

      The defense has mostly stuck to the "break slowly" and get a turnover or two still zero pass rush
