      Totally different. And what does respect have to do with a person wanting him to play. They can't make him they just want him to. How is that a form of disrespect? And Kobe was old beat up with major career injuries. Circumstances way different. From a fans perspective I wouldn't mind if he came back if he feels hungry. He said he was full. The opposite of that is to be hungry. If he feels that way one day so be it.

    AD is NOT unretiring! How can you watch his interview and somehow NOT see someone that has nothing to prove and said he is at peace! I hope he does NOT come back, and I am a Rams fan of 43 years! He's earmed the right to ride off into the sunset, NOT injured, and doesn't need surgery just to walk! There will NEVER be another Aaron Donald, and I'm happy that HE'S happy with his career and decision!

    Hey D'Mac, I like the no headphones look. Cool man. Dude you are the best at what you do. Seriously, I'd rather listen to you than anyone else. Thank you for Pod casting the Rams. You and Travis make a Great team. I can't wait to see the Rams D-line after AD. I think they're going to be great. I think more players are going to get involved cause we will need it. Rams D-line will still be great, McVay wouldn't have it any other way.

    Jesus Christ you guys OK OK enough about Aaron Donald OK I love the guy too but leave it alone. There’s other things to talk about also. You spend too much time on him you can’t find a bigger ram fan than me OK I have been on the field at the Colosseum, shaking hands with Roman Gabriel, Jack, know Merlin Olsen, Jack Youngblood, Rosie Greer And many other ram grates when they used to allow you on the field after the game. So please stop crying so much about Aaron Donald and let’s continue with what’s left. There’s plenty more to talk about so and let’s talk about the rest of the Rams and the future.

      If so, then drafting 3 linebackers is necessary. Plus, Rams still need to draft 2 DT's.
      In 3-4-4 (3-2-1-1-4) or 3-2E-2ILB-4DB, Rams still need 2 DT's to draft + 2 stud linebackers + 1 stud ED, preferably 2 stud ED.
