Na'il Diggs going to Rams.

Recommended Posts

The St. Louis Rams are reportedly about to sign free agent linebacker Na'il Diggs.

Our old friend Aaron Wilson tweets that Diggs is on the verge of signing a two-year deal with the Rams.

Diggs, who will turn 32 in July, played from 2006 to 2009 with the Carolina Panthers and from 2000 to 2005 with the Green Bay Packers. In 2009 he appeared in 14 games and started 11 for the Panthers.

A week ago Jim Thomas of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported that Diggs and the Rams were close. It's taken a week to get from "close" to "on the verge," but it appears that it won't be too much longer until it's done.

Diggs is a guy that it almost seems like wherever he signs, he's the starter, but everyone knows he'll be replaced. He's got that stop-gap swagger.

agreed... he's solid but not flashy. makes all the plays he needs to and should make... but doesnt do too many eye popping things or amass insane stats!

Rams sure do like our LBs

Between the Rams and the Bears most of our castaways knows they are gonna get a chance with ether of these teams. Also it has not worked out very well for those teams ether. I really thought Spoon was gonna be a star and boy did he implode.

    • Here's the thing. You compared him to Jake. Jake was signed to the practice squad out of college. Bryce was the number 1 overall. Their expectations are wildly different and so are their contracts. You can talk all you want about what a player is and where they are now and all this other mumbo jumbo, but Jake never had a 5th year option and we weren't talking about the possibility of a top 5 QB contract extension at the end of his 3rd year. What he was expected to be matters because we invested heavily at a cost of future capital, including a 2nd round pick this year, for him to be that guy. The cost to add Bryce took value from the team. To be worth it, he has to add that value back.  Actually, I don't prefer yards, TDs, or only INTs. All those stats by themselves are misleading which is why I said you have to use a lot of different stats. ADOT - Average depth of target.  Completion %. Pretty obvious until you factor in ADOT. 0-5 has a lot higher C% than 10-15%. Hang time. If a pass is in the air for 4.6 seconds vs 3.1 on a 40 yards throw, that gives a DB a lot of time to correct. Is it a loft or is it a laser.  EPA - Expected points added. A way of measuring QB efficiency on every play.  CPOE - ranking pass completions based on several factors, not just the throw.  There's obviously more, but those are the more common.  Typical stats don't show everything. You need to look all over. Looking at a stat line is lazy. That's why I said, you need to analyze everything. Once you start looking at the numbers you start looking at the player. That's why you follow numbers. They lead you places. You look at what happening when the numbers show you patterns. That's where you start finding the problems that yards, TDs and Ints won't show you.     
    • It's not relevant who wins or loses. It's about actually attempting to get better at the position.
    • Thank you. I don't understand how the Bryce stans don't see this. I've never seen a player get more hyped for doing so little. Honestly it's driving me a little insane.
