Rams' Fisher Reacts To Williams' Suspension

Oct 31, 2014 6:12 AM

New Rams coach Jeff Fisher says he had no idea Gregg Williams had been running a bounty pool in New Orleans. Fisher delivered the news to Williams on Wednesday the franchise would be cutting ties for at least the 2012 season, under the assistant's indefinite suspension from the NFL for the bounty payments that he handed out with the Saints. Fisher betrayed no emotion at a news conference at which he said the punishment was "warranted." "The severity of the suspension does not surprise us," Fisher said. "We, as best you can, have been preparing for that."

Holmgren Upset Over Trade That Will Land Redskins Griffin III

Dec 10, 2014 3:13 PM

Browns president Mike Holmgren is still upset about the trade between the Redskins and Rams that will allow Washington to draft Robert Griffin III next month. The Redskins agreed to send several picks to St. Louis for the second selection. The Browns made offers for the pick. "Honestly, when it didn't happen I think there are reasons that I can't go into right now, but there is a very close relationship between the people getting the deal done and the people who offered," Holmgren said on a conference call with season ticket holders. "Most of the stories that I have seen - all of them I've seen - were incorrect in what our offer was, when we entered the process and in how we went about it." Cleveland clearly wanted the second pick and Holmgren hints at a close relationship between Rams head coach Jeff Fisher and his Redskins contemporary, Mike Shanahan.

Report: RGIII Will Need To Have Brady-Like Career To Justify Trade

Aug 9, 2014 7:47 AM

A study from the Harvard Sports Analysis Collective suggests Robert Griffin III will need to have a career similar to Tom Brady for the Redskins to justify the trade price. "..The total price the Redskins paid was 753.5 eCAVOA. That price translates to a CAV of 113.0, comparable to Tom Brady’s current production to date (109 CAV). For the Redskins to get the equivalent value from RGIII as they spent acquiring him, he must produce at least as much as Tom Brady. If RGIII merely lives up to his eCAVOA, he’ll finish his career having slightly outperformed David Garrard (61 CAV). Because all-time-great quarterbacks are rare commodities, the Redskins likely lost value both on paper and in reality." The report suggests the trade compares to what the Falcons gave up to draft Julio Jones, but isn't as high as what the Saints gave up to trade for Ricky Williams.
