ATLANTA (AP) — Hey http://www.theramslockerroom.com/authentic-sean-mannion-jersey , have you guys been here before?If you’re a New England Patriot, the answer pretty much is “all the time.”If you play for the Rams, the reply basically is “never in my life.”Sothe overwhelming edge is with the 2½-point favorites from Foxborough who are 5-3 in NFL title games with Tom Brady at quarterback and Bill Belichick in the hoodie on the sideline.The Rams, whose past two Super trips were representing St. Louis in 2000 and ’02, have four players who have gotten this far. New England has four on its defensive line alone.“Probably, throughout the week, it gives them an advantage,” Rams tackle Andrew Whitworth says — and he’s finishing up his 13th NFL season, though it’s his first that ends in February.“They kind of know this week. They know when things are a little anxious, when to kind of, ‘Hey, turn it on and get ready to play.’ They probably have a process and plan for the week.”Athletes in every sport talk about how helpful a comfort zone can be. It’s even more pronounced when it accompanies events such as the Super Bowl, which, for better or worse, transcends football.Brady and most of his teammates, in their third straight visit, barely flinch at all the attention, media demands and alterations to the norm they encounter during Super Bowl week — although they were taken aback somewhat by the cacophony and circus atmosphere of opening night on Monday. Aside from Aqib Talib, C.J. Anderson, Brandin Cooks and Sam Shields Womens Aaron Donald Jersey , for the Rams this is uncharted territory.Rams coach Sean McVay tends to dismiss that theory, however. Using quarterback Jared Goff as an example, McVay could have been speaking for his entire squad, which has made a sensational turnaround in his two seasons in charge.“He’s an unfazed quarterback,” McVay says. “I think his way to have success and handle adversity the same demonstrates that poise and confidence you want from your quarterback.”Nowhere is the experience matchup more uneven than at QB. At 41, Brady already is the oldest quarterback to start a Super Bowl. Goff is 24 and one of the youngest.Well, maybe nowhere is an exaggeration, because Belichick, at 66, could become the oldest coach to win a Super Bowl. He has worked 41 postseason games, with 30 victories, most among head coaches in NFL history. He’s the only head coach with five Super Bowl rings.McVay is half his age and in his first NFL title game, the youngest Super Bowl head man.Rams President Kevin Demoff hears all of that so-called evidence, then cites so many positives about McVay that he sounds like the next dominant coach.Sunday will be a powerful acid test for McVay and his team.Some other things to look for in Super Bowl 53:GRONK’S FINALE?There’s widespread speculation that Patriots star tight end Rob Gronkowski could be playing his final NFL game. The four-time All-Pro has been plagued by injuries for much of his career, and only in his first two pro seasons did he play a full 16-game schedule. In 2018, he made it into 13 games.Gronkowski has battled through back, knee, ankle and arm injuries throughout his nine pro seasons, and thought about retirement after last year’s Super Bowl loss to the Eagles. If this will be it for the big-play tight end with superb blocking skills, he isn’t letting on.“As of right now, those are the last things I’m thinking about John Sullivan Jersey ,” Gronkowski says. “I love playing the game. After a long season, after the (Super Bowl), a few weeks down the road, you sit back, you relax, you get some downtime, enjoyment time. And you just see where you want to go with it.“That’s a tricky question. You’re trying to get around me. You’re just trying to get you some answers over there, baby. But like I said, I don’t know. I haven’t done that sit-down yet. I’ve got to do that sit-down. About two weeks after (the Super Bowl), then I’ll know.”DONALD’S DOMINANCERams defensive tackle Aaron Donald, the only unanimous All-Pro this season, led the NFL with 20½ sacks.Considering that Brady barely has been touched or pressured in two playoff games — both against teams with strong pass rushers — it is incumbent upon Donald to be a factor Sunday.Make that a major factor.“We’ll get to him, but we have to stay patient and don’t get frustrated,” Donald says. “We’ve got a great secondary that will do its job and make sure he doesn’t have easy throws. If he has to hold onto the ball, we’ll have our chances. We just have to go get him.”Otherwise, the most accomplished quarterback in Super Bowl history might tear them apart.CLOSE ONESThe Rams’ past two trips to the big game were tight affairs in which they beat Tennessee and lost to New England. In all of the Patriots’ eight previous trips in the Brady-Belichick era, the result was in doubt until the final moments.So to expect a romp at Mercedes-Benz Stadium seems foolhardy.“It would be nice to get one of those,” Patriots receiver Chris Hogan. “But the idea is to win, no matter how you do it.”The largest margin in a Patriots Super Bowl under this regime has been the eight points the Eagles beat them by a year ago. Now that we’re beyond the first 32 picks, here are the major factors that will shape things in Round 2 and Round 3." />Skip to main contentclockmenumore-arrownoyesHorizontal - WhiteTurf Show Timesa Los Angeles Rams communityLog In or Sign UpLog InSign UpSectionsLibraryMastheadCommunity GuidelinesNFL OddsStubHubMoreAll 322 blogs on Horizontal - WhiteSections 2019 offseason2019 free agency2019 NFL DraftFull ArchiveLibrary 2019 NFL calendar2019 Rams regular season sched2019 Rams preseason schedMasthead Community Guidelines NFL Odds StubHub ✕Filed under:2019 NFL DraftThese five hinges will determine the path of Day 2 of the 2019 NFL DraftNew,5commentsNow that we’re beyond the first 32 picks http://www.theramslockerroom.com/authentic-todd-gurley-jersey , here are the major factors that will shape things in Round 2 and Round 3.CDTShareTweetShareShareThese five hinges will determine the path of Day 2 of the 2019 NFL DraftMissouri Tigers QB Drew Lock looks to pass against the Tennessee Volunteers, Nov. 17, 2018.Randy Sartin-USA TODAY SportsOn Wednesday, I went through the five hinges that would chart the course of the first round of the 2019 NFL Draft:Sorting through the quarterbacks (whew, buddy!)Who would redshirt Mississippi St. Bulldogs DT Jeffery Simmons (way to go, Tennessee Titans)The teams with multiple first-round picksGetting wacky after #20The Washington Drafters (actually, not bad!)Well, now we’re into Day 2 with the second and third rounds. Those factors are dead and gone.Here are the forks in the road teams will navigate that will determine how today is going to go.Trades are comingLast year in Rounds 2 and 3 of the 2018 NFL Draft, there were more picks that had changed hands at least once (35) than those that the team that earned them never traded (33).As of right now, only 18 picks of the 70 of this year’s Day 2 have been traded.Buckle up.Lining up the offensive lineThree of Mocking the Draft’s Dan Kadar’s top six best players available coming out of Round 1 are offensive linemen: Oklahoma Sooners OT Cody Ford, Florida Gators OT Jawaan Taylor and Kansas State Wildcats OL Dalton Risner.How they shake out before the Los Angeles Rams at 45 (assuming they do all go before the Rams at 45) will be a huge factor in the early Round 2 proceedings.First-timersThe Cleveland Browns, Indianapolis Colts, Kansas City Chiefs, Dallas Cowboys, Chicago Bears, New Orleans Saints and Los Angeles Rams all ended up taking 0 players in the first round of the draft. None of those look like uncompetitive teams in 2019.Without having stocked their coffers to this point, will anyone feel desperate to assess a particular roster gap? How will they navigate Day 2 coming into the action so late?The Bears don’t have a single pick until #87. Given how long they have to wait, will they or anyone else feel motivated to move up?QBs in the breezeMany thought Missouri Tigers QB Drew Lock would be a first-round prospect. ‘Twas not to be.Where he and the other prospects that ultimately get taken on Day 2 fall will be of significant consequence whether they land with teams that offer them a chance to battle for a starting job either immediately or mid-season or on teams looking for quality backups.Falling off a cliffThe top two prospects on Kadar’s best players available are ranked in his top 20 overall. Every year, we see prospects surprisingly fall deep into Day 2. How far will someone like LSU Tigers CB Greedy Williams drop? What about Ole Miss Rebels WR D.K. Metcalf? By the time we get to the end of Round 2, which players that we were certain would be gone in the top 50 are still available?Those candidates will certainly push the action into Round 3 as teams finish hitting their roster gaps before turning to Day 3 and simply trying to sort through the labor pool for players that can make their 53-man rosters.
