I don't think so, did you forget, we just sign Landman for ILB,
it will be Landman & Speights as starters.

As I stated, unless someone gets injured,
I only see three players as rotational players,
TE/Ferguson, OLB/Stewart & DT/Hamilton.

Which is a good thing, because that means we are pretty deep.
Even during the press conference, Snead even mention only drafting six players,
because we were deep. It's not like we needed to draft 10 to 14 players,
because as he stated, they wouldn't of make the team because we are deep.

My only exception about saying if we are deep,
is a swing tackle, do we have one on the team,
or they have someone in mind as a FA?

34 is right Chris Paul Jr if he doesnt start game 1 , he will start soon. The dude is exactly what you want in an off ball linebacker. He is a long sideline to sideline guy. Can’t wait for TC

That is awesome! Great watch.

In another post, I posted that our draft for this season,
is most likely for backup roles or rotational roles,
and for the future in starting position.
There is not one that we drafted this season that will start,
unless there is an injury to one of the starting players.
We signed FA Landman as the ILB,
I don't see a rookie starting over him or Speights.

But won't you agree, we and the coaching staff have not seen Landman or Paul practice or play. Isn't it possible, however unlikely, the rookie is better from the jump and as a rotational guy ends up with more starts/snaps when it's all said and done?

The coaching staff has seen Landman play, just not for the Rams

Which is why I said practice and play. They've also seen Paul play.

What's not a given is that Speights starts. There's really 3 candidates for 2 spots, though that's 2 spots in a base 3/4, which isn't guaranteed to be their dominant starting formation. Shula does a lot of things with the safety/ILB mix. Anyway me saying this is not a putdown on Speights, it's just appreciating that they went from 1 real option to 3.

Do I think Paul can start? Yes I think it's possible, though that's one of those contingent things that depends on circumstances.

What do I think Paul's key strength is? Well he's not ideal physically, though he has enough of the physical stuff to play in the NFL. But I will say that given what I've seen so far--which of course is not years of watching game tape ---he has a very impressive combination of intense aggressiveness AND processing. He just processes so fast. It's still early of course but I really do sense that there's something special about him.

Anyway. It's better to have Landman, Paul, and Speights than to just have Speights.
