Felt this was worth of own thread... So not buried in OBJ thread.... Huge loss imo considering OBJ isn’t the same kind of WR.

This is the football gods punishing the Rams for being greedy.

OBJ is a downgrade IMO. If no other reason at least because Woods knows the scheme much better.

Kupp, Van Jefferson & OBJ. That's all Rams have @ receiver right now. That offense lacking any depth in WR room if anyone else goes down.

And OBJ is carrying a shoulder injury

[football karma]

in theory this helps the Cardinals, but i hate seeing this

hes a really good player who does lots of little things to help teams win

 

[THESMEL]

Damn everybody hurt a lot - seems more then usual, or it just me, ponder if they gained a ill weight in offseason, and has a harder camp and preseason, if players would get hurt less? Durability

 

[GatorAZ]

In the short term it’s a killer for them.

 

[Shane]

In the short term it’s a killer for them.

Could be a huge factor next season too. Likely won’t be completely healthy till middle of next season. And OBJ on a 1 year deal.

 

[Dayman]

Woods seems like a good guy who has worked incredibly hard to get where he is. I feel bad for him.

From a team perspective, this could be very rough for LA. OBJ just isn't the same kind of player or person as Woods. Also, Kupp has never played a full season, and he is on pace for 175 targets this year. If he goes down, they are really screwed.

 

[Russ Smith]

That's the thing OBJ is good still but he won't block like Woods did.

 

[oaken1]

Feel for the guy.

On a side note, maybe the lambs will give us their 2024 first round pick for Andy Isabella... or 2025... whatever

 

[ajcardfan]

That's too bad.

 

[Shane]

I don’t root for injuries ever. But the way the Rams have conducted business lately? I don’t feel bad for the team… But for RW personally I do.

58-0 makes me think otherwise

2012 58-0 game that Russ played…left a bitter taste in my mouth to this day

 

[mjb21aztd]

Sucks for woods good wr but helps cards maybe w div

Gonna be a fun race!!

 

[PACardsFan]

Hasn’t Woods always been a Cardinal killer? But, then again, any player in the NFCW with a pulse has been a Cardinal killer.

 

[Totally_Red]

Outside of Akers the Rams have been very fortunate in avoiding injuries. I doubt if Shanahan feels their pain.

Oh after that game, I would have wished Lou Gehrigs disease on the entire Seahawks roster. Bunch of jerks.

 

[Luciano]

Did Beckham Snr pull a Tonya Harding on Woods’ knee ?

 

[JosiahLee]

Still Rams luck that they were able to bring in OBJ right before me this happened.

You can look at it that way. I look at it as a downgrade I would have taken in a heartbeat a few days ago.

OBJ..... isn't that good.
