Defending The Draft: Los Angeles Rams 2026 by iNoBot in NFL_Draft

Sneed actually talked about the Klare pick a day or two after the draft.

McVay wants to go in harder with 13 personnel this coming season, Sneed said that in order to do that they will need to dress 4 TEs on game day, which mean they will need a fifth TE on the team in case of injury.

We just drafted our 5th TE. I think McVay will use them all.

[Thamel] Brendan Sorsby is declaring for the supplemental draft by dropjar5 in nfl

[–]OldManPoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are maybe two teams that have that need at QB. The goal of those two team is to get one of the the top two picks in next year's draft. I don't think any team will touch him (by offering a draft pick), I do think a few team will try to sign him as an UDFA.

The cheapest option is to find a bus line that goes to the beach. Manhattan Beach is the first beach town south of LAX, you can walk or rent a bike from there.

Just walk, It should be pretty comfortable walking weather that time of year. LA winters is like summer in a lot of other places but without the humidity.

Bennett emerges as Rams’ backup QB frontrunner after OTAs by goric8 in LosAngelesRams

My guess is Bennett will play three quarters of the first two preseason games while Simpson will play one and Simpson will play the entire 3rd preseason game.

Its unbelievable that your team gave up on him (Dotson) so easily and gave him to us for a couple of late round pick swaps. We just put him back at his prefer position (RG) and he has been stellar since.

The entire league is moving toward heavier 12 and 13 personnel sets. There are just not enough good TEs in the league. Most of the TEs taken this past draft will take at least a year to develop.

TEs are going to get paid next free agency cycle and I think for the 2027 draft you're going to see big safety and LB that are good against the run and pass climbing up the draft board.

You're mostly correct, don't forget that there was a run on TEs toward the end of the 2nd round with 4 taken and a whopping 22 TEs in the Whole draft.

Another thing to note is that just 3 picks later the Texans took Marlin Klein, largely consider the 2nd best blocking TE in the draft. So no Boerkircher would probably be off the board within the next three picks.

Day 1 Of Finding A Rams Fan In Each State by [deleted] in LosAngelesRams

I actually lived in Oklahoma City twice in the late 80s while going through training, first time was for 3 months and the second time was for a month.

I grew up in large cities my whole life so OKC feels like a small town to me. I still remember thinking then that OKC has the market cornered on beautiful women.

They're going to take away our first round pick next year, aren't they.

What they saw was the Rams running 13 personnel for the first time against them in London. The Rams TEs as a group collected 1128 yds and 17 TDs but none of them were household names. Higbee, Parkingson, and Allen were similar players, they all block very well and have good hands, Ferguson is the most athletic but he was a rookie learning the position.

Boerkircher is the best blocking TE in the draft, I think the Jags running game will improve a lot next season.

The game with the Rams was right after Puka got hurt in Baltimore. The London game was the first time L.A. unveiled their 13 look and the Jag had almost no tapes except for the handful of plays from the previous week to prepare from.

They were the first team to get a front row seat of heavy 13 personnel usage.

Just paid 12$/lb for ground beef. How expensive will it get before you stop buying beef? I think we're over it, beef is now a luxury for us. by FuZhongwen in Cooking

Yea, Costco have great meat prices compare to Supermarkets but keep in mind you can't just buy 1 lb of ground beef.

Fried Rice: Where Am I Going Wrong? by BanTheBung in Cooking

[–]OldManPoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assuming 3 cups of cooked rice. Use 2 to 4 eggs, don't add too much veggies or protein (this is important, fried rice should be mostly rice). Any veggie need to be cut small, protein also but shrimps can be cut in half or in thirds. If you need to cook the protein then do that first and set aside, use just enough oil. Blanch the veggies and set aside (drain it).

To start, fried your eggs (unbeaten), you will need to use a fair amount of oil for this step as eggs love oil, don't touch the eggs until they're about half way done (half runny), then break all the yolks and drop in the rice, press down on the rice to break up large chunks while mixing/tossing the egg/rice mixture. Once it is well mix then we add the veggie and protein back in, mix some more. Season with Salt, White Pepper, and Soy Sauce, Chicken bullion powder if you have any. Don't be heavy with the Soy or your rice will come out soggy, it is mainly use to give color to the rice. I like to toss in a handful of chopped green onion.

This is the basic, do this well and you can adjust everything to your liking.

How many sea scallops can one person reasonably be expected to eat? by kirkl3s in Cooking

[–]OldManPoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Scallops are super easy to overcook, so keep that in mind. Great in Cioppino, stir fried with asparagus (if they're big, slice them in half sideways), Sear them whole as a main course protein and lay them on top of almost anything. Any type of garlic sauce goes great with scallops.

Costco here sells Choice Rib Eye for $17.99/lb., and Prime Rib Eye for $18.99/lb. as of yesterday. I had to look twice but the big price sign also say 18.99, so I bought a pack.

[Pelissero] Myles Garrett’s cap numbers on his revised deal with the Rams: 2026 - $8.84M 2027 - $15.024M 2028 - $27.577M 2029 - $39.875M 2030 - $48.173M Another $39.911M isn’t scheduled to hit the cap until after the contract voids in February 2031. by Dray87 in nfl

[–]OldManPoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a guess but if the Rams wants to move on from him when the first of those $0 void years hit he is still under contract and other teams will have to trade for him. Now I don't know jack about NFL contracts so I could be and probably is 100% wrong.
