are the Rams a playoff team as many here state.....if so that a lot of players. Rams have been injury free
and to add 5 new receivers, major changes linebacking core, etc. is a lot IMO. I doubt Arizona or Seattle replaces 13 or 14 players.
Are they a team on the rise.....did the Raiders replace that many players? Not sure......
I get an older team or a team with multiple injuries, but I keep reading Fisher is building a champion but players are changing every year and the record is the same.
Easy, ferragamo. Lol.
I was just commenting that a 25% player turnover in one year is not that much higher than the league average.
And that big of a turnover for a perennial 7-9 team should not be unexpected.
Plus, there is a big difference between replacing players and replacing starters.
Only new starter on O looks like Cooper. Once he's healthy, that is.
On D, there are just four.
Long replaced by Hayes (upgrade)
J Lau replaced by Ogletree (upgrade)
Jenkins replaced by Gaines. I consider this a push. Besides, Gaines is no rookie.
McLeod replaced by Mo. Might be a slight downgrade initially, but a long term net positive. And again, Mo isn't a rookie, anyway.
Bottom line? Cooper looks like the only rookie starter this year, and he won't see the field anyway until he's healthy.
Hardly a deluge of new rookie starters come opening day, don't you think?
