I mean, you could be right, but you're claiming this when he's playing against twos and threes in against a squad that didn't have the best defense last year anyway. It would mean more if he was torching a highly touted first rate pass defense and even playing top-rated corners. 

That and he was our second best receiver last year. He did way more with his snaps than XL did. If this continues, they need to switch spots. I don't care that XL was a 1st rounder and Coker was a UDFA.

Yo I've had multiple people poo my posts just in the last few months for calling him what he is at 37 years old. Great guy. But he's washed. The glazing here from some people even after those horrific games he had last year is insane.

Andy needs to retire FR

We’ve seen him play against 1’s last year. And came up big every time his number was called. His hands are far more reliable than XL.

Hate to repeat / beat a dead horse but Steve Smith is much more terrible than usual.  He starts talking and then he's like an old guy like me - trying to remember what he was going to say.

Only thing worse is when he actually remembers and finishes a thought that only he can understand. Previously, he occasionally had funny thoughts and intermittent insights. Hopefully, just a bad day.

    • I believe I just read somewhere that the Rams don't do Top 30 Visits. I mean, it makes sense from the standpoint of trying to keep information close to the vest.
    • I'm not sure 19 is too high for Rodriguez anymore.  He looks to be moving up boards, but it could be smokescreens.  
    • I see XL this way---great athlete.  Good person.  When we drafted him, we knew he was raw.  One year of WR in college (starting) and in HS, he was a QB, I believe. We knew we would need patience with him.  I think year 3 will be make or break.  He is older, and I think that people with his athletic ability have always been better than those with less---but those with less can become more successful.  Why is that?  in my view, it is mental. XL can learn the mechanics and nuances of playing WR if he becomes focused on it and works at it.  I had the opportunity to talk to Armanti Edwards one day after OTAs (great guy) and he discussed how overwhelming it was.  He seemed shocked.  At that time, I knew that Fox hated the pick (I heard him mock Armanti to another coach when he saw Edwards drop a punt from a jugs machine--then I saw Armanti look back at Fox as if to suggest that he was feeling the pressure to please the coach. We forget that these are kids in their early 20s.  At the time, Fox was a lame duck.  Remember when he had Clausen as the #3 QB and was forced to move him up the ladder?  I liked Fox, but I think the climate and culture was influenced by the politics.  Currently, I see another Wr from SC who is struggling, but he is ina  very nurturing, positive culture. Let's see what happens with XL.  I am frustrated too---but XL was a second round talent who was raw and we traded up to get him.  He had 500 yards as a rookie--lets call 2025 a sophomore slump and see if we can't get at least 50 yards per game out of him.  If not, cut bait.
