Are we assuming Whittington is replacing Skow? I don't anything about him. But in a couple post draft analysis they thought he was a steal in the 6th round. The NFL site has him projected to be a bottom of the roster or practice squad candidate. Not exactly a ringing endorsement. Whittington has so...
Do not sleep on Drake Stoops making the roster or Xavier from last year. Special Teams returners. Whittington will make it for sure They have 3 UDFA WRs, not just Stoops. Maybe one shows enough to be WR #6. Los Angeles Rams: Drake Stoops, WR, Oklahoma The son of legendary coach Bob Stoops, Drake St...
This was always a criticism that revolved around his offensive preferences and one that stretches back to Washington-- productive offense, with periodic lulls & struggle in the red zone, comparatively. I am happy to see esp. in the last 2-3 seasons, more of a visible effort to respond towards t...
Redzone offense is a weird thing with McV and I think the new powerball offense with the new OL is meant to address that (along with keeping Stafford upright). In 2024 the Rams OL ranked 8th for this stat: NFL Team Red Zone Scoring Percentage (TD only) That's only the 2nd time they've ranked in the ...
[ On Rams drafting & the 2024 class: ] But I have to say that at this point, it sure looks like 2024 is on a whole new level of good . And they were pretty good from 21-23, so 24 being even better would be (and I am predicting is ) quite an achievement. Senior Bowl director, Jim Nagy on Senior ...
That too could be true, ZN. But then why did they keep him this past season?? He must have shown something, no? Or are they letting him stick around as he was a 3rd round pick and waiting to upgrade him through the past 2 drafts?? I will watch him carefully in camp if we are allowed to attend. I th...
My feeling is that Ryan Wendell likes a certain type of lineman and that the previous guy, Carberry, liked a different type. I just think both of Carberry's picks are goners. That's Bruss and Arcuri. Arcuri has size in his favor so maybe he adapts to Wendell's system and comes through, I don't know....
These guys have had 3 good drafts in a row. 2022 gets skewed a bit because of the Bruss injury (plus how good 2023 was and how good 2024 looks). Durant, Lake, Kyren, Kendricks and Yeast have all shown up. But of those I would only count Lake and Kyren as positive top hits. Durant and Kendricks, for...
In response to this pick I saw out there, on twitter etc., a number of people say Rams could have gotten a "backup RB" lower in the draft. Well 2 things about that. First, Snead has said the Rams need 2 backs. Now I don't know how they will divide the carries, but a 1B back is not really a...
The more I read and hear about this draft and look into it, the more I am convinced–at this admittedly very early point–that this was one of the Rams best drafts ever, and certain the best overall in the McVay era. What I am saying is that something unusual and rare happened with this draft, and tha...
