BonifayRam with some thoughts on Rams Edge situation…

Here’s BonifayRam…

I fully agree with you here in using the word "pretty weak" in describing what the Rams have overall currently available to insert in that right side starting OLB/ER post that Miller played the last half of last season.

Last season DC Morris was fine to start Justin Hollins for the first 3 gms @ that OLB post...Rams all 3 of those games. In the first 3 gms Hollins started he had 12 tackles/ 2 sacks & one forced fumble...this he was injured & placed on the Injured Reserve. That's not a weak start of a season for a OLB'er IMO.1:

DC Morris had the options of going with the unhealthy Og Okoronkwo or supposedly healthy Terrell Lewis as his top reserves behind JH. Morris went mainly with TL from that point on. TL knee held up for 3 starts for the injured JH, with 9 tackles & 3 sacks but shriveled away & came up heavy on the injury list from that point on. Lewis was never seen again after wk 12. With Okoronkwo still not healthy & Hollins on the IR Snead was forced to make the move at a great cost for the future assets in exchange for Von Miller.

Justin Hollins did return from the IR for Ram's last 5 gms along with the 4 post seasons gms as the main primary reserve ER to both Floyd & Miller. Summarizing JH's 2021 season 12 played games either as the starting ER or top reserve ER .....the Rams won 11 of those 12 games. Not bad!

I would expect JH will be counted on as the primary lead starting OLB'er with Floyd. As to who will surface to the top of the reserves ......there's a very BIG question.
