Alden Gonzalez@Alden_GonzalezMcVay made it sound like Rams' LB spots are wide open, at least outside of Mark Barron. Cory Littleton, Ramik Wilson and Bryce Hager will have a leg up inside. For OLB, McVay mentioned Matt Longacre, Samson Ebukam and Morgan Fox, who will become more of a standup pass rusher.
"I wouldn't have a problem if we got something done right now." Rams coach Sean McVay was asked about Aaron Donald, who remains absent from the offseason program
How is new Rams OT Joe Noteboom going to spend his first NFL paycheck? “Probably on a car.” He doesn’t have one. You kinda need one out here.
Myles Simmons@MylesASimmonsA little bit of news from McVay regarding #LARams LB. Doesn't say too much about the ILB position, other than the four veteran players would have the leg up. But at OLB, McVay mentions Longacre & Ebukam then says Morgan Fox will be another player in the mix at that position.
#LARams HC Sean McVay at the podium now. Says the rookies had a good start today, and he anticipates veterans will take the young players under their wing to help them out.
"The team room was a lot more full than it's been this morning," McVay adds.
Noteboom faced Obo Okoronkwo twice in college and says, "He was definitely the best pass rusher I've ever faced." The two are now teammates with the #LARams.
OL Joseph Noteboom Said upon seeing Whitworth in person for the first time, “You can definitely see why he’s so good just by looking at him.”
Joe Curley@vcsjoecurleyJoe Noteboom played hockey growing up, beginning at 4 years old. "It definitely helped with footwork... balance, feet and stuff like that." Also played basketball and threw the shot.
Sean McVay on the fresh group of rookies: "A lot of wide eyes... but it seemed to me that they were excited."
McVay on UDFA QB Luis Perez, who won a roster spot at the tryout camp: "He definitely won that job with the way that he performed."
Sean McVay says the Rams "got a lot of the guys we targeted" during the UDFA process. You can imagine it was easier to recruit a linebacker than a receiver this year
Asked about the depth of the LB position, McVay mentioned veterans Barron, Littleton, Hager and Wilson, in order. Asked about edge, McVay mentioned Longacre and Ebukam. In between, he mentioned Morgan Fox could play some OLB, as well. @CVRamsClub
