SW draws 2 safeties for a time, before the near one peels back to help on Kupp, but though most of the play, it was Watkins with the extra attention.by Blue and Gold - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRam49 It was obvious to me all season that Watkins was pulling coverages.....but I can't come up with any reason why Cooks can't do the same. In fact, he is faster than Watkins..... which is why I call it a wash...the difference is the value of the picks...and the money for 2018by Blue and Gold - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRam1380 From those stills, it looks apparent to me unless he/they were transported into an old "asteroids video game"...the safety was already on and "cheating" to Watkins side of the field, he COULDN'T have gone over to "help/double" on Kupp even had he wanted to... the CB would drop Watkins and take Kupp and safety would be on Watkins, and that is what happeby Blue and Gold - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteDeadpool 3. (12) Josh Rosen - QB - UCLA - 6'-4" 227 lbs. - Proto size, big arm, and throws the nicest ball in the draft. I keep hearing rumors of his lack of ability to blend in a locker room. Cutler 2.0? . and recently retired, moved out of state, but say Rosen is Cutler/Jeff George/Manziel/Clausen/Cade McNown all rolled into one.

Quotedroopy They should have franchised Sammy. We would still have our #1 draft pick. Had we tagged him we have the #1 but less money, Cooks is cheaper this year. With Cooks we get a #4 this year and a #3 next year and then, if sign him, maybe a $15--17 mil a year deal...in that range... But maybe we could have signed Joyner for market value, which for safeties is a lot less than Joyner's deby Blue and Gold - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotewv ram I aint saying Benoit is right (or wrong) but one play, does not prove or disprove his general point. Ya know. We do know McV wanted to keep Watkins. Its just that KC offered the moon. At any rate, i wonder what Cooks can do that Sammy couldnt. I know Sammy was bigger and stronger and could outmuscle people in the redzone. Is there anything Cooks can do that Watkins cby Blue and Gold - RamsFootballFans.com

Ian Rapoport ✔ @RapSheet The #Rams are expected to apply the franchise tag to a player tomorrow. They are still undecided between WR Sammy Watkins and S Lamarcus Joyner.

Here Watkins takes the safety, Kupp runs the "over" and is open because the safety takes Watkins, nnot Kupp this was a big gainer...And YES stills don't show everything, but I am not going to go into a video editor and waste an hour to prove a point that can be proven in stills. Benoit said it became apparent, late in season, the Kupp was getting the "extra attention". I callby Blue and Gold - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotemax I never got the impression that Goff was comfortable throwing to Sammy. A reasonable answer is that Watkins wasn't running routes correctly/properly. He looked open but he may not have been where Goff expected him to be. "but he may not have been where Goff expected him to be" Or, he may have been exactly where he needed to be and Goff didn't get it to him. It's like sayinby Blue and Gold - RamsFootballFans.com
took less than 5 minutes to pick a game at random, and then find 4 plays in the 1st quarter with that alignment. He doesn't watch the Rams closely if he doesn't think Rams used this a lot, in fact, during the season I was kind of sick of seeing it, but I knew it's good because it the nasty splits on the trips side make it harder to run man coverage because the WRs can cross, so the defense is fby Blue and Gold - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRamsdude I respect your knowledge B+G. Can you please counter the above now and "speculate" with a positive view? You know...just for giggles?

OCs will look at Suh, who is on a decline, played on a run D that averaged 4.5 yards an attempt against it and The Rams who gave up 4.7 yards a rush last year and run right at them.

And since running involves going versus the front 7 (and 8), they will taget the soft middle of Barron and Ramik Wilson (who played on D that alby Blue and Gold - RamsFootballFans.com

I don't think Hav is the 2nd best run blocker among RTs...I think he had a good season Lane Johnson is better in run blocking and light years ahead in pass blocking, Jack Conklin, La'el Collins, Mitchell Schwartz, Daryl Williams, Demar Dotson, Jordan Mills, Jermey Parnell, are too Hav is a good player, but he lacks the athleticism to get to second level and again PFF is dubious.
