Cody Alexander @The_Coach_A · 2h The Rams are bringing back Darious Williams, who is a coverage-diverse CB & excels in zone, which is a staple of LA's defense. In addition to Williams, LA is adding Safety Kameron Curl from the Commanders. Another coverage-diverse DB who plays well in zone.by JimYoungblood53 - RamsFootballFans.com
The LA Rams Blitz & Coverage Usage by D&D Quarters was his go-to long-yardage coverage. key to chart: green highlights are high compared to NFL average (did it more than most teams did it) light blue is about average, no highlight is below average ... just compare the percentages to the league averages to see much much Rams blitzed in each down and distanceby JimYoungblood53 - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRantoulRam Love the Article: designation. Thank you for doing that. but this year Verse has as good a chance as any ... for one .. not a ton of defensive players in 1st round and Verse, as long as he's healthy should start. And also, if Fiske plays as much as I think he will, not like Schulte things, then the two paired up will be somewhat ahead of the curve ... especially on passingby JimYoungblood53 - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteLBCRAM in fairness to AJ, I believe you have a better understanding of what the Rams are trying to do. You've watched many more Rams games than AJ. I really didn't. I guess he was on Pro Football Network ... and other sites ... All I know is he's been writing about Rams for Sporting News for a few monthsby JimYoungblood53 - RamsFootballFans.com
Kupp, Robinson, played some fullback He was major STer but STs underperformed -- so new guys can fill in, So his time has passed. But always liked having a guy like that as your last receiver - someone with several skills But, as you say --- he didn't play on offense much with most of the guys healthier fewer guys missing a lot of time.by JimYoungblood53 - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteRantoulRam I agree it's nice to have another journalist who is willing to take the time to do analysis after doing research. This will be a writer I enjoy reading. but also please people other times. I think he's going to give a level of objectivity we don't see from TST and those sites. There is room for both.by JimYoungblood53 - RamsFootballFans.com

Quotesince68 Payton Wilson chasing at 23.7 mph?!?! Could we use a LB like this against the niners? I hope we draft one next year now that we have plugged most of our holes. We don't know reasons ... if they didn't think it was a need or if the was not on their board (injury) or had higher grades for guys they took I don't think we know why ... just that they passedby JimYoungblood53 - RamsFootballFans.com

Rams never have changed his weight listing for some reason. But he's 3-1/3 bills ..not 285by JimYoungblood53 - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteJoeT13B I appreciate it...thank you! Listened to that podcast --- Rest of the Phil Olsen story--- He retired after the 1976 season. He was replaced as Broncos center and wasn't allowed to compete by Red Miller. So he retired. But in early 1989 Chuck Knox traded for him and he signed to play in 1978. He hurt his knee in Bills' training camp and was on IR for the year. But he was arounby JimYoungblood53 - RamsFootballFans.com
INSIDE the guard and he slips him. So, you can play inside with short arms if you are quick enough I envision Fiske in exactly this position on 3rd downsby JimYoungblood53 - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteDanishRam I can’t remember a better sports writer in my lifetime. As a beat reporter ... she's is as good as I have seen cover Rams ... she's not a columnist... she covers day-to-day Ted Green from LA Times was one of the top few. Chris Dufresne was excellent.

think the Rams don't know what Fiske will do for them. Like they may not have thought all this out before taking him, All it is is this: He and Rams differ as to what Fiske is able to do in the NFLby JimYoungblood53 - RamsFootballFans.com
He claims Fiske cannot two-gap and Rams don't two-gap even in the 3-4. Even in Wade Phillips's 3-4 Rams didn't two-gap ... and don't know in the 3-4 of the 5-1. It gets complicated and you can never say "never" but what people think is two-gap is gap-1/2.

but I also have to admit he does his homework but the bottom line is he's not a huge Fiske fan as anything other than a 3-tech and does not think Fiske can play where I think Rams will play him. Other possibility is I am wrong as to the Rams' plans for Fiske QuoteAJ Schulte AJ Schulte @AJSchulteFB I'm still confused on where they plan on putting Fiske because *ideally* he's a 3T....by JimYoungblood53 - RamsFootballFans.com

other than speculation. We do know that print media has been in decline --- papers going out of print, and also websites also being canceled or monetized ... but I think sports media is suffering. I think people are not reading much, maybe it's saturation, maybe only enough entertainment dollars to go around The fans sites we've talked about, that do 5-6-7 posts ,,, smacks of desparationby JimYoungblood53 - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotesince68 Was Fiske the best choice at DL? but after the draft I do a lot of looking at who Rams stood... from what I have gathered --- Newton is more of a pure 3tech--a poor man's Aaron Donald--and Rams seem to be putting Turner there.

Quotesince68 21/198 says to me he was top 11% in the country at least in the run stop % stat. PFF is grading on what they did. They see a game, grade it and they have their metrics. Scouts are different. They want to know what CAN a guy do. If Fiske were taken by a team that needs a 3-technique then he'd not have a big issue. He says that Firske and play one-gap defense.
