As do I 93

If you look at Havenstein's contract they clearly want him at RT through 2025 (age 33). At that point he could be one of the 3 or 4 longest tenured OL the Rams have ever had (in the mix with Slater, Smith, Saul, Harrah).

I agree that it could be disappointing to see Bruss entrenched as a backup (likely RT and RG). But it is what it is and you need quality OL backups- as we all saw a year ago... I also agree that the 104th pick in a Draft (even if he's the team's top selection) can't be seen as a "bust" unless he simply doesn't make the roster past year one.

The Rams want to feel good about their depth across the OL and I'd rather have a guy like Bruss on that right side- who again is very much still developing and in many ways still a rookie- than a lot of other options. Hope he gets a lot of valuable preseason work at RT.

I hope he gets all the reps he can no matter where on the OL it is. Most likely will be the RT spot due to Hav's being "dinged".

Only 4 days until we get to see our "new" Rams! I am sure plenty of eyes will be on Mr. Bruss for sure and I am rooting for this kid big time! beer cheer smiley



#HelmetHornsMatter

“Well, the color is good, I like the metallic blue,” Youngblood recently said while laughing, via NFL Journal. “The horn is terrible. It looks like a ‘C.’ When I first saw it on the logo I honestly thought it was a Charger logo.

“Now when I see it on the helmet, it just isn’t a ram horn. There is no distinct curl like a mature ram horn. I don’t know how the Rams could get that wrong. That is your symbol and it has been for what? Seventy years or more? Longer than I have been alive? It’s just not us, it’s not the Rams.”---Mr. Ram Jack Youngblood

  Rams are keeping Bruss at RT, which hurts his playing time…

  Apparently, the scout (or scouts) that graded Bruss blew it Big Time…

  No such thing as blowing it big on a 3rd round pick

RockRam121August 06, 2023 06:39AM

  I concur, it was a 3rd round pick.

  So we don't need depth / future starter at RT?
