QuoteClassicalwit Oh, I loved the Akers pick. But can we really expect much from him with no OTAs and no preseason games? It seems like it would take him 1/2 the season just to get used to the pro game, and that's without splitting carries with Brown and Henderson. Running backs need reps to get into rhythm. Nope. Gotta disagree and for 2 reasons, Classical. 1. RB’s are probably the quickestby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
All assuming at least decent OL play, of course. Akers/Hendy will be more effective than the ‘19 version of Gurley. Jefferson/Reynolds should easily be more effective than the ‘19 version of Cooks. Higbee/Everett should be superior to the early ‘19 versions of themselves. All 3 prongs of these O weapons will demand more respect and attention from opposing D’s. Heck, I see nightmare maby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteLMU93 I'm looking forward to seeing their continuing evolution. All great offenses evolve- they are not static. The Rams have the talent for both 11 personnel (3 WRs) mixed with 12 personnel (2 TEs). And of course they should also mix things up with 21 personnel (2 RBs, 1 TE) and sometimes 13 personnel (3 TEs, 1 WR) as well. So you’re saying that McVay has assembled a versatile O castby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com

Rams cut four more players, get down to 80 before camp starts Cameron DaSilva The NFL is allowing teams to carry more than 80 players into training camp, but the ones that do will have to go with a split-squad approach during practices and meetings.
