Ok, take this vid with a grain of salt, and don't shoot the messenger. :lol2:

I actually like this guys sports vids quite a bit, especially for an amateur, and I'm always willing to do what I can to get younger content creators and (non toxic) personalities a few more clicks/likes. So I figured I'd share.

One thing though, and hopefully a few of the guys who've been to camp can speak on it; he brings up some legitimate concerns about our edge rush. What have you guys seen? Is it a concern at all, or do we just think we'll be so dominant up the middle that we'll flush a lot of QB's out? I'd like to add that I personally think he's sleeping on Ebukam (who I think is going to break out this year), but maybe that's the kool-aid talking.

I've only listened to about half of the video so far.

His "lack of a pass rush" comments are stupid. Last season the Rams were 4th in sacks. He said he's not impressed with Samson or Littleton, but what's that based on. They both have less than a few starts.

He really needs to pick up his energy level.

Well, a couple of thoughts.

I’d much rather get my pass rush up the middle than from the edge. The shortest distance between two points. Isn’t that what makes Donald special? It is so hard to do. Disrupts everything. It is a lot easier to plan for an edge rusher.

Fair points on the LBs. I suppose our hopes with Ebukam are based on a few plays last year where it looked like he was shot out of a cannon. So, the athletic talent is there, but can he more consistently bring that, and does he have the body control to finish the deal when he gets near the QB?

Woefully underestimates Robert Woods’s talent.

A for effort, though.

I guess it's normal to doubt rookies. You won't know what you got until a few games or a few seasons. So regarding the edge rush; there is no Von Miller on the Rams. But with the push up the middle that Donald, Suh, and Brockers get it isn't necessary. Ebukam was coming on late. So, I understand people being excited for the possibilities. Overall I don't expect much of an outside pass rush. It is tough to find great pass rush skill late in the draft. I am more concerned with the OLBs ability to play the run and hold the edge. Ditto for the inside linebackers. Inability to stop the run got the Rams an early playoff exit. It go them a few regular season losses as well.
