QuoteRams43 QuoteNewMexicoRam ....the Rams pick up a vet OL guy after week one. Yeah, I don’t think that this OL is quite finished. Plus we have to see which linemen are put on the PS. Cause we want them to have more 2nd year vet OL next camp and fewer rookies.by zn - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRamBill Lindsey Thiry@LindseyThiry The Rams' ILB group also lacks depth. Cory Littleton is a second-year starter, will play alongside Bryce Hager, who has long been on special teams but will full-time starter for first time. Jeesh, this is way overblown. The first-time starters on the D include Hager and Joseph-Day. Surrounded by 9 veteran starters and some other veteran role players liby zn - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteOzRam is going to leak out at somepoint. Because your right I dont get Fox over Myers for a lot of reasons. According to VB Fox (and Smart) outplayed him this summer.

QuoteKillrazor QuoteCROMWELL21 Rookie of the year for the Rams last year. Ouch. Maybe Obo made that big of an impression that they felt he was expendable? Obo's not a DE, he's an OLB. Obo will never be lining up as a 3/4 DE in the base defense the way J F-M would have.by zn - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteThe Professor With depth at other places I can see going only 3 rbs. It also implies that the team feels that Gurley will be available all year long. If they were really worried, they would want a deeper backfield. I don't see how the Rams WOULD be worried about a well-managed arthritic knee. A player can play with an arthritic knee IF it is managed. And they're doing that. Plus they cby zn - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotebigjimram21 Pete knows defense. But Clowney will really need to take a step up to be above average. He really hasn't been all that great, ok, but not the stud he was supposed to be.

QuoteRockRam The guy has been in the league several years. He's been tried at End and OLB and has had middling results. He's not going to suddenly find himself. He is what he is; an oft hurt underachiever. Going to the 'Hawks isn't going to change that. Not only that, but the 'Hawks don't have a world-class Watt that teams have to roll protection to.

QuoteSunTzu_vs_Camus I watched Obo all night and they played that boy into the ground...he was exhausted...but still he came on. There were two playe I can think of where Obo forced the QB into another players arms for the sack or forced bad pass.

Quotestlramz I specifically recall him looking as good as our starters. Of course, I think that was Kyle Bollar and Brock Berlin so I guess that is not saying much or reaching "stud" status.

Quoteoldschoolramfan Wolford did all that against "backups". He does not get outside starting DE's in the NFL. He will have tighter coverage with NFL CB's.
