Aaron Donald works out for Rams

[Tussinman]

He hasn't played in 2 years. Now he's coming back at 35? I'm leaning more towards washed up. At best an adequate rotational piece.

Supposedly he retired in pretty good health so I wouldn't be surprised if he's still lethal in a more manageable 30-35 snaps a game situation.

The hell with LA

I respect that take. We shall see soon enough.

The guy has always been in phenomenal condition and shape. Has taken a few years off meaning less wear and tear on him. He was never an injury prone player.

He is a special talent, so I lean toward him not losing too much of a step even at 35. Especially having been away from the NFL trenches for a few years. Put him on the same side as Myles Garrett or even on the opposite side of Garrett and trying to double someone could be tough. He may face the most 1 v 1s of his entire career.

Donald is one of the rare players to retire while he was still healthy and his game hadn't bottomed out. He may not be the 20-sack player he was at his peak, but if he is in shape, there's no reason to suspect that he can't be an eight-sack defender like he was when he retired.

 

[Praxit]

....still remember Pollard, running right off Donald's shoulder for 54yd TD run.

That was three years ago. Cant imagine what might happen now ..

 

[Acceptablename]

They have a 1.8% chance to match Jerry and go 30 years without making it back to a CCG.

Yawn

Yeah, that D-line will be a force to be reckoned with, especially with Garrett and Donald.

That's pretty much where I think he is right now. Kind of how we used Clowny. Less snaps will get the best from him. How good he is remains to be seen.

The law firm of Tyler and Tyler will take this grandpa down folks!

We are doing ok this year so far.

sure fine whateveer
30 years dude; this Front Office has no cred and deserves none

 

[gtb1943]

They haven’t played any games yet this year. But you and others are handing them the trophy.

as usual you are projecting
and as usual wrong
lots of so called Dream Teams have failed over the years
but some have done it
and the point is, which of course you miss as your default mode is trust the Jones, is that our Front Office is LOTS OF TALK and little walk; and the must less noisy rams are walking the walk much better. Tell me who is on year 30 since the last Lombardi and who is only on year 5?

And again your lack of comprehension shows itself.
I do not trust Jerry, but I don’t hate on him all the time either for no reason like you.

 

[CT Dal Fan]

Ouch well if he comes back in time for joint practice guess it will be a good practice for our O line.

At his age Donald isn't participating in stuff like that. He'll still be in ramp-up mode since he's been away from football for so long.

Who cares about that? We are in good position now in the present.

It’s only on paper when it pertains to the cowboys.

 

[Hawkeye19]

The achilles heal for the Rams is at QB. Lots of wear and tear on Stafford’s tires and this is his 18th season

QBs can go down at any age, but taking a hit at 28 is not the same as when you are 38. Father time is undefeated for a reason lol

 

[Whyjerry]

Kids you go for it when you have good owners, a great coach, and a great QB. We have a drunk and his son, a fantasy camp coach, and a choke artist.

We have not played one single game ........

 

[Beaker42]

Geez, they are really trying to win a Super Bowl.
Man, it's like their first demonstration of all in wasn't enough when they got Stafford, Von Miller, Jalen Ramsey and O'Dell Beckham to help them win the first trophy.

Now they seem to be re-assembling another star studded cast to make another run at it.
Just wow.

So that's what "all in" actually means...
hmmmmmm

The Rams’ ownership is following the Dodgers’ ownership strategy - “Devil be damned about consequences because we don’t care. We don’t care how badly it hurts the League, the fans, the other teams or ticket prices - *** all of them.”
