A couple/few years ago the Los Angeles Rams were dead in the water, and they were basically unwatchable due to injuries to Mattew Stafford, Aaron Donald and more. Then, on one fateful Thursday night game, Baker Mayfield came to play for L.A., and he made the Rams watchable again, if only for a bit.
He literally showed on a Monday/Tuesday and helped lead the Rams to a win just less than a couple/few days later.
If you are a fan of the Rams (or Las Vegas Raiders), you know what I am talking about, and
if you are a fan of the Rams, how do you not love Mayfield?
Well, this week Mayfield will take on the Rams in a game that the Rams need to win to keep pace with the top spot in the NFC (the Philadelphia Eagles), and for the Bucs, they are trying to stay atop their division.
There is a lot going on in Week 12.
Thank you everyone for checking out Turf Show Times and we made it! Friday, baby. Be safe, but enjoy it!
Baker Mayfield: My time with the Rams was pivotal in my career and in my journey (nbcsports)
“There is no way for me to sugarcoat it — it was pivotal in my career and in my journey,” Mayfield said. “I’ve told you guys that it helped me find the fun in football again — that joy. And just, getting to learn from those guys. Obviously, it looks a lot different now that Raheem Morris is gone, Zac Robinson [is gone], Liam [Coen is gone], but Sean [McVay has] been there the whole time.
“They helped me out and helped me discover what offense I really want to play in, and the responsibility that comes with [it] — a lot of accountability at the line of scrimmage and to check and get to the right plays. Yeah, it was instrumental in my career, something I am forever grateful for, and it will be fun to go back and see some familiar faces.”
GM Les Snead just made the signing Rams fans were begging for (ramblinfan)
“The team has signed kicker Harrison Mevis to the active roster. That resolves a sticky situation, as the team had their virtual starting kicker parked on the practice squad. But that only fills one roster slot.
The team had also successfully claimed a defensive back, Chris Smith II, off waivers from the Las Vegas Raiders. And finally, to fill the now vacant practice squad roster slot, the team signed defensive back Alex Johnson.“
