QuoteAlbaNY_Ram With these 6 on the field (Jalen Ramsey, Troy Hill, Darious Williams, John Johnson, Taylor Rapp and Terrell Burgess) the Rams could change up SS, FS, CB, slot CB, and LB assignments from play to play.

Right here... Not your average 3-4 defense “Don’t expect to see the Rams with two inside linebackers on the field as much as most 3-4 defenses do. With only three inside linebackers on the roster, it’s an indication that the Rams could use more 3-3-5 packages, getting five defensive backs on the field at a time. They’ll probably even use some dime defense with the likes of Jalen Ramsey,by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com

Sean McVay explains why Rams picked Samuel Sloman as their kicker Cameron DaSilva One of the biggest decisions the Rams had to make this week was at kicker, where they had three guys competing for one spot. Although it seemed like Lirim Hajrullahu was leading the race over Samuel Sloman and Austin MacGinnis, he wasn’t the last kicker standing. Instead, the Rams chose Sloman, whom theby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com

Quoteferragamo79 could see that from Hard Knox I haven’t watched Hard Knocks, but I’ll take your word for it. However, I don’t think that Clay is 100% healthy. Plus the cutback on snaps for all rookies with the Covid restrictions? I think that the Rams might be thinking that they have something there in Clay, but it’s gonna be down the road.

Quotereggae What does that mean? What is sufficient value? Is there reason to think he won Pretty simple, reggae. Rams considered Everett more valuable in their ‘20 plans than any future draft pick offered by another team. If Everett finally hits his stride in this ‘20 O then the Rams TE will be a nightmare to defend in coverage and devastating in the Ram running game. That’s a lot of valby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com

Quotemax I meant McVay on the hot seat to mean he would start getting heavily question by media for doing bad job addressing the OL if Goff gets hurt because of that. It would also warrant that he gets “help” like Vermeil got when he was told to get someone to run the offense after 1998 season. When it’s obvious to so many that the OL has been mismanaged, you’re gonna take heat. I’m gonna gby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
I must say that these ‘rumors’ about Edwards’ reporting out of shape are troubling. Very troubling. It would reveal a character flaw and lack of commitment. I was impressed with the rookie Edwards. The kid played through pain from injury in college which cost him dearly on draft day. That shouts of character and commitment. So, this current disconnect has me scratching my head. Or is it ‘fby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
There was a second opinion advanced explaining why Rams didn’t draft an OL player, max. Namely, that no OL player that fell to the Rams was likely to beat out a current Ram starter this year, anyway. Moreover, that the Rams knew that they had better value/need options with other players at other positions. Blessed with 20-20 hindsight, I think they did a superb job with their first 5 picks.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com

First of all, my compliments on your post here, Leo. Both thought provoking and entertaining. Can’t wait to see more of these in the future, man. As to the content? Yeah, we don’t really yet quite know what we’ve got here with this ‘20 edition of the Rams. But there’s no lack of reasons for cautious optimism. I see a floor of 8-8 and a ceiling of 13-3.

Why Sean McVay expects less activity on waiver wire this year Cameron DaSilva It’s going to be a busy weekend for the Los Angeles Rams and the other 31 teams in the NFL, but perhaps not as busy as it usually is this time of year. All 32 clubs have to trim their rosters down to 53 players from the current limit of 80, which some teams have already begun doing. But the modified and conby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Rams 'feel comfortable' with current LBs but will monitor waiver wire Cameron DaSilva Despite having no proven starters at inside linebacker, the Los Angeles Rams decided to all but ignore the position in both free agency and the draft this offseason.

QuoteRockRam Not a doubt in my mind that the guy with the most input on this is the ST's coach. He better be right. Because if Sloman screws the pooch, at the end of the year the ST's coach will be on the street. Yep, if Bonamego screws this up then the long knives will be out. Lol.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteLeoram I wonder if this is partially driven by finances. The rookie would be on a cheap deal for years whereas the FA Yes, Leoram, welcome aboard, sir!

And I must say that there’s not a whole lot to quibble about on these two projections. I do suspect that Rams go with 9 OL players although Jake suggests 8. Rams might go with 6 WR’s rather than the predicted 5 by both men. After all, Kupp and Reynolds will be UFA’s next year and Rams surely like one of their UDFA WR’s, don’t you think?
