Here’s oldnotdead... Ramsey has been a dominant force in camp, as expected. But even he has difficulty in covering rookie Jefferson who is more than holding his own against one of the top CBs in the NFL. You can imagine how Jefferson playing in the slot against a #3 CB will be a huge mismatch the Rams favor. After this performance, there is no way Reynolds is the #3 WR which will give the Ramsby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Yeah, I’m fully aware that it’s much too early for this conversation. But what else is there to talk about in this Covid offseason without even preseason games? Besides, it could be fun. They say that any draft that yields 3 starters is a great draft. On a team with a pretty loaded roster 3 new starters is a tremendous draft. Well, I’m not seeing 3 new starters from this rookie class by opeby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRockRam You're not supposed to be that big and jump that high. You're not supposed to be that big and tall, and yet be agile. That said, the issue is playing football.

Quotepromomasterj If Goff and Wolford were both to get infected in QB meeting room, with the expanded roster - do you keep a 3rd who only zooms in the QB meetings, etc? I think there was some talk of that around the league. Good catch, promo. So many new rules that I haven’t kept up with. You may be onto something.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Perkins would only see the field under catastrophic conditions. Namely, the loss of both Goff and Wolford due to injury. Having said that, Perkins just might have a possible NFL future if he continues to develop. He obviously has skills and just. Might be able to land on some team’s 53 one day. Question. Assuming Perkins is on the PS, can he come into a game as an emergency QB in the eventby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
What if Ramsey proves to be a bargain for the Rams despite the cost of those picks? Think about it. He’s now in a very talented and deep secondary and being schemed by a new and apparently creative and aggressive DC that has already hinted at new and exciting uses for Ramsey, among others. The sky could be the limit this year for both Ramsey and this entire secondary. We’re already seeinby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
It might be a mistake to pigeonhole these players into strictly traditional positions. Even Ramsey. We’ve been hearing hints about player and scheme versatility for months. Then we can see the addition of Burgess and Fuller, two more ultra versatile and football smart players.

QuoteRockRam The guy is a really good player and had the numbers to back it up over a season. He'll start. Besides the other guys are young players with no starting experience.

As more and more evidence keeps coming in it sure appears that this Staley D has the potential to be something special. And it’s not just about abusing a gelling OL.

I’m sure that the coaches are watching the 1st and 2’s very closely to look for any advantages and disadvantages for each player. Then reviewing the film frame by frame after every practice. Time is short before opening day and nobody needs to remind this staff how important it is to get this OL right. Either we trust Kromer and his staff or we don’t, but it’s obvious that these coaches decideby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Sounds like CB is the most competitive position group, huh? No clear cut winner at nickel CB, and this is strictly my opinion, but I’m not sure that Hill has a chokehold on outside CB, either. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Williams beat Hill out at some point early on. Stay tuned to the CB pecking order, y’all. It’s gonna be a doozy.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com

That’s a great list, 53, and it could very well unfold that way. Only two nitpicks. Hopefully, ARob will be available by week 4.

Bar is set for Johnson if he has a really good 2020 season. IMO, they let Johnson walk.

Highlighting each player that could play nickel CB for the Rams in 2020 By Skyler Carlin of DowntownRams The definition of consistency is described as, “the achievement of a level of performance that does not vary greatly in quality over time.” That is exactly what the Los Angeles Rams were able to get from Nickell Robey-Coleman in the nickel cornerback position in the last three seasons.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Jordan Fuller getting lots of reps with the starting defense Give it time but I’m sure eventually a reporter or writer will use the headline “Fuller House” for a piece about LA Rams safety Jordan Fuller.

Two things, really. 1. He played through an ankle and two bad shoulders last year on an OL that was forced to churn in rookies on the fly. I don’t know which is more stunning, tbh.

QuoteLMU93 Honestly, part of it might just be there is simply no one beyond the top 5 worth keeping on the 55. Could mean they keep one on the PS because they feel, for example, Xavier Jones might get poached if they don't keep him. Or maybe they will explore the waiver wire at final cuts to bring in a WR6 from elsewhere. I suspect that Jones might already have the inside track for 4th RB. I thby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
