With this year's rookie class, I see a lot of battles emerging for immediate and long-term roles. Who wins these battles? RB1: Darrell Henderson vs. Cam Akers WR3: Josh Reynolds vs. Van Jefferson TE2: Gerald Everett vs. Brycen Hopkins EDGE: Samson Ebukam/Ogbonnia Okoronkwo vs. Terrell Lewis Nickel ...
Very good question and there are lots of candidates.In no particular order:WolfordHendersonBlytheCorbettHavensteinFloydARobEbuOboKiserHowardYoungNew place kickerAnd these are just the highlights.Whole lotta questions to be answered in these next 4 months, huh?
I think that the Ram O “situation” has many facets, and therefore might take some time to finally be fully resolved. McVay is still the sharp and innovative HC that he was in ‘17 and ‘18. But his hands are a bit tied by a variety of circumstances. Where to start? Well, opponents are throwing hybrid ...
Yeah, Goff was rusty, but that rust is gonna be gone quickly. Not worried at all. This “new” RB tandem of Gurley/Brown looks to be both very effective AND sustainable through the playoffs. That’s beyond huge. You just know that McVay is itching to get some snaps for Henderson, too. I thought that th...
Yeah, Dynasty is a strong word. Steelers of the 70’s Niners of the 80’s Cowboys of the 90’s Patriots of the last 20 years, for crying out loud. Lofty organization’s in their day, no doubt. But I do think that the Rams have the critical pieces in place to possibly become a “dynasty” type team for the...
In terms of being a steady annual SB contender, anyway. Here’s why. Kroenke. A wealthy hands-off owner that let’s his people each do their thing. Demoff. Masterful cap management always positioning the Rams to make bold moves when opportunities arise. Young, should be around for years. Snead. Terrif...
Great thread topic. Especially as we await the season opener. Snead/McVay can keep this Ram team chugging along indefinitely IF they can continue drafting a year ahead and redshirting quality players while the coaches also rapidly develop the youngsters. Could be a perpetual motion machine kinda thi...
Lawler, of course, seems quite likely to be IR’d, either short or long term. JoJo Natson is just one fumble or misjudged punt return that hits the ground and bounces the wrong way from being released in favor of Webster. Demby is probably not sleeping all that well at night after his preseason. Krom...
About JoJo. While it’s true that he is not among the top 8 WR’s, it’s also probably true that he is a Bone’s decision for the ST. I think McVay is gonna defer to coach Bones here. TBH, how many snaps is our 6th WR likely to get, anyway? If the decision is to keep JoJo, I’m just gonna have to accept ...
So much is still up in the air on this loaded roster, but here are a few of my impressions as to players that have made the 53... In no particular order, btw. Both Allen and Wolford have flashed. Each might be nice to have for backup next year after Bortles’ departure. Neither will make the 53, but ...
