farley sign with rams

[juza76]

thats a scaring defensive line.we better find an upgrade at center spot in order to save palmer

 

[Shane]

Dos that really even help them??? Their DL was already scary???

 

[ARZCardinals]

Dang! They are putting together a good team. Getting Foles was an AMAZING move for them. Clearing 12 million cap and getting a MUCH better QB. Damn Eagles!

 

[TJ]

Do they really need more d-linemen? They need more playmakers.

He's going to be tough to deal with in the middle!

So apparently the new trend in the NFL is to stockpile studs at a single position and make that your teams identity.

Eagles: RB's
Rams: DL
Cowboys: OL

Don't forget the Cards started all this with our WRs over the years (Fitz, Boldin, Breaston, then draft Floyd, etc...!)

That's a strange signing. I wonder if Fairley didn't see the market he was expecting and signed a one-year deal.

They already have Aaron Donald and Michael Brockers at DT. That defensive line is going to boast 5 first-round picks!

+1

We better be bringing in center that can handle these kind of defensive players

Lol, I was thinking the same thing until I opened the thread and saw it was juza

"MUCH better" what?

Foles is much better than Bradford, who was a hot mess. Foles is a warm mess.

Before we start to worry, Fairley is a near bust who never met expectations. He's been off the field quite a bit and I'm not even certain he played in 1/2 of the Lions games last year. They cut him for a reason.

I wasn't worried... Even stated by a couple of us that its a Weird signing...

They did need a replacement for Kendell Langford, who they lost to Indy.

Farley is a good player when motivated, but his motivation is lacking from what I have read.

This is potentially a upgrade for the Rams, but if Farley slacks off it won't be.

Langford was a Cardinal killer, he made his living against Fanaika every year.

I wouldn't say much better, or better at all if anything. I would say they're both average. We'll see how Foles will do when he has to deal with a much worse OL & WR than in Philly(in which he struggled last season before injury).

 

[TJ]

Thinking about this some more---I wonder if they're gonna flip one of them in a trade.

That'd be interesting. Brockers is the best candidate--didn't get quite as many sacks last year but has 2 years remaining (with a team option) on his rookie deal.

 

[FrustratedFan04]

I'd much rather sign Wisniewski and Barksdale and have a real killer OL with competent back-ups.

Please please please let them trade Donald!

 

[D-Dogg]

I'm not stopping them.

Hard to say. Let's look at their numbers last year.

7 games 159/262 60.7%, 1687 yards, 6.44 YPA, 14 TD, 4 INT, 2 FUM, 90.9 Rating
8 games 186/311 59.8%, 2163 yards, 6.96 YPA, 13 TD, 10 INT, 3 FUM, 81.4 Rating

Who had the better year?
First one is Bradford second if Foles. I'd say the numbers are pretty similar with the edge to Bradford and Foles had better weapons.

^ Bradford was on the injured reserve list all of last year after a second ACL tear on the same knee happened in the third preseason game.

True. He'd be better than Bradford just by playing in games.

Again, go back to 2013. Bradford has never had a season like that. No one is saying Foles is gonna be Peyton, but I can confidently say that Foles has done more in less time and Bradford won't ever top that production.

As a side note---I can tell you guys that Foles did not want to be in Philly anymore, and told those around him that he was relieved when he was traded. Chip's offense was not a fit for him and he wanted something more conventional.

Nick Fairley arrives in St. Louis weighing a svelte 280

“Right now I’m at 280,” Fairley said, via the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. “Now that I’m down here I’m gonna be looking for [a personal chef] here.”

Fairley said he’ll weigh more than 280 by the time the season starts.
“I’m gonna put on some muscle, of course,” he said.

The Rams gave Fairley a one-year, $5 million contract that can pay him an additional $3 million in incentives. So if Fairley is injured or out of shape, he’ll make less than he would have made if the Lions had picked up the $5.5 million option on his rookie contract.

But if Fairley plays well, he’ll make more in St. Louis than he would have had the Lions kept him in Detroit. Losing excess body fat is a good step toward being the kind of player the Lions hoped he would be after taking him in the first round of the 2011 NFL draft.
