QuoteLMU93 You're right, there's healthy competition at many spots. The 5 I'm personally most interested in and feel carry the most weight in impacting the team, though: RB, OG, OLB/EDGE, nickel CB and K. I pretty much agree with your five, 93. I would add a competition for outside CB between Hill, Williams, and Long. Can Hill remove all doubt that he’s the best in this Staley D? We’ll see.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Always a good thing to have strong competition, of course. In no particular order: On O. Backup QB is a 3-way battle. I give Wolford the slight edge because of his minuscule one year experience, but this could go in 3 different directions. I know some would prefer an experienced vet retread but I don’t. I’m impressed by the potential of these youngsters in a McVay O. RB is gonna be aby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com

Boom and Allen were seen hitting the sleds without knee braces. That could be significant evidence of Boom’s rehab progress. McVay said long ago that he expected Boom to participate in camp practices. I know some have predicted that Boom might not be ready to play until midseason, but I’ve long suspected that he might be ready early on if Whit should falter. Boom is a huge insurance policy atby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Hard Knocks takeaways “Lets stay with 12 personnel” As the LA Rams debuted on HBO Hard Knocks: LA, there were a lot of hopes of seeing the ins-and-outs of the Rams at training camp. What are the Rams up against? What big drama is playing out this year? First and foremost, the Rams defensive back Dante Deayon was hilarious. He was the main featured player, simply because he knows how toby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
We might add that Hav reportedly showed up pretty significantly out of shape last year. That’s no small thing.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
As DaSilva says, this OL is far from fully settled. However... That tentative starting OL is exactly what most of us projected, too. Corbett should not be written down in ink just yet, although he probably has the inside track. Hav is clearly the favorite but he still has to constantly play/practice well enough to remove all doubt in the coaches minds. Evans will not be easy to keep oby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Rams safeties are finally the players envisioned by the coaching staff LA Rams finally have the safeties envisioned by their coaching staff, but for how long?

Kupp might be worth a late 1st. But surely not a 1st and a 2nd. Trade markets traditionally undervalue player value, IMO.

Gotta disagree on this part, 69. “ Say what you want about Gurley, but defenses had to game plan for him when he was on our roster. None of our RBs nor the current OL have earned that respect. Thus they will continue to look to derail Goff and the passing game first. Solution? more 12 personnel and running the ball on passing downs to keep defenses honest.” Other teams were watching the Gurby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Stu Jackson has distinguished himself with this series of interviewing Ram positional coaches. They’ve been very interesting and informative. Thiry and DaSilva should take note. The other thing is that it’s becoming more and more apparent that Snead/McVay/Staley have quietly assembled a lot of quality players on this D.
