Well, things have evolved but overall I don't think there's a huge gap between them. With Kiser not playing vs. NYJ it gives Reeder another week to stake claim to the role. He has certainly improved. I think Kiser is better in coverage. You want Reeder between the tackles. Very well could be a situational role for both. Like others said, nice problem to have.by LMU93 - RamsFootballFans.com
They have their own 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 5th and 6th rounders in 2022.by LMU93 - RamsFootballFans.com

Brycen Hopkins and Xavier Jones. Would be nice to have a big lead and let them get some work. Each have purely been on ST so far.by LMU93 - RamsFootballFans.com
Rams picks (using Tankathon.com and OverTheCap.com): 2nd (57th overall) 3rd (91st overall) 3rd (102nd overall- compensatory) 4th (137th overall- compensatory) 6th (210th overall) 7th (250th overall)by LMU93 - RamsFootballFans.com
I think regardless the Rams need to put serious work into finding and edge rusher in the 2nd round of the Draft.by LMU93 - RamsFootballFans.com
I think the only area he lags behind those guys at this point is longevity, where Olsen, Lilly, Page, etc. kept going at a high level to year 10, 12, 15, etc. But Donald has reached the point where he could literally retire after 2020 and be a Hall of Famer.by LMU93 - RamsFootballFans.com
You never know. Assuming the Rams can get the 3 seed. Personally I think New Orleans is a better team overall than Green Bay, especially defensively. Maybe at Green Bay they luck out and get a mild-ish day (30 degrees). But it could also be zero.... Defense and running games do travel well. So if the elements are not horrific maybe that is the better draw than going to the Superdome. And Wisconsiby LMU93 - RamsFootballFans.com
Yes, good point. I think they are fine for 2021 at ILB with those four. Not saying they can't have an ILB fall into their laps at some point in the draft next April but I'd hardly call it a big need.by LMU93 - RamsFootballFans.com
I think they've both developed further this year. I'll be glad to have both for 2021 and let the best guy win (and likely have both play roles). Plus with Young they have three competent ILB.by LMU93 - RamsFootballFans.com
I will be glad when Rapp is back. But Scott has stepped up in year 2. The Rams having Fuller, Rapp, Burgess and Scott all returning at safety for 2021 makes the idea of retaining Johnson just extremely unlikely. I wouldn't be surprised if they drafted another safety in the late rounds again in April, too.by LMU93 - RamsFootballFans.com
Jets, Jaguars, Chargers, Lions, Falcons, and possible Eagles? Seems like less than usual. Some teams, like the Chargers, for example, will want an OC who can come in and work with the QB (McDaniels? Bieniemy? Daboll? Leftwich?). There are quite a few good DCs too. I guess we will see. I would really love Staley to stay a 2nd year for continuity.by LMU93 - RamsFootballFans.com
Combined cap number for the two of them in 2021 is less than $1.8M.by LMU93 - RamsFootballFans.com
It was a great performance Thursday night, no question. Best Rams rookie RB outing since Bettis in 1993. But let's not think Akers is going to carry the ball 25+ times per game now. A 70/30 split between him and Henderson makes total sense to me. Brown's time in the rotation is fading (though he can still contribute) but set up the young duo for the next two years by rotating them both in.by LMU93 - RamsFootballFans.com
Agreed. The strength of the patriots defense is their secondary. Throwing into the teeth of it when from literally the first carry it was clear they'd be able to run the ball well wouldn't have been smart. Adapt. Evolve. They can do a lot of things and are figuring out ways to play to their strengths in game-specific matchups.by LMU93 - RamsFootballFans.com
Goff missed a few throws last night but overall he did what the Rams needed him to do. His pedestrian numbers were based on the game plan of using two TEs (or sometimes a fullback...) running and running and running the ball some more.by LMU93 - RamsFootballFans.com
Of course with the major asterisk that Deacon, Youngblood, etc. are not on this... 87.5- Leonard Little 84.5- Aaron Donald 72.5- Kevin Greene 62.5- Kevin Carter, Robert Quinnby LMU93 - RamsFootballFans.com
Agreed. Showed great recognition and discipline. Patriots had 3 pass plays last night of 25+ yards. Those three plays were 40% of their yards for the whole game (86 of 220). Great defensive performance.by LMU93 - RamsFootballFans.com
I was just thinking that. Watching a sure-fire first ballot HOFer in the moment is a rare thing. Reminds me of Jack Youngblood. The only thing that prevents him from being one of the 4-5 best Rams players of all-time right now is longevity. But he could literally retire tomorrow and be a HOF player. Amazing.....by LMU93 - RamsFootballFans.com
Mr. Irvin- thanks for being here. I met you at a fundraiser in 1996 at CS Fullerton for Fearsome Foursome member Lamar Lundy. You played on a lot of very good but not great Rams teams. Which team do you think really should have gone further than they did? 1983? 1984? 1988? 1989, etc.? Thank you.by LMU93 - Leroy Irvin Chat
Living in Boston metro area since late 1998 I cannot tell you how cathartic this win is......by LMU93 - RamsFootballFans.com
Have to admit I thought this was Hendersons job for 2020 and Akers would just continue to get sprinkled in as a rookie. But Cam has really seized the job. Henderson has a role for sure, in 2020 and beyond. But Akers is the starter. Quite a breakout performance. Really well done..by LMU93 - RamsFootballFans.com
Excellent OL and running game and great defense. Mediocre numbers for Goff but a lot of that was game planning. They went with and stayed with what was working. Minimized risks. My only complaint all night was the unnecessary risky series right before halftime. I didnt get that at all.....by LMU93 - RamsFootballFans.com
You're right, it was cold that night but not brutal. I would say the 2016 game in Foxboro was colder. 2001 game was fun. Rams took a knee at Patriots 10-yard line to end it. I saw a drunk on the way out throw a rock at a policeman's horse and the cop was off the horse and had the guy on the ground in about 3.5 seconds...by LMU93 - RamsFootballFans.com
