QuoteRams_81 Fisher is a quarterback destructor. Once guys get away from Fisher, they start playing better. Foles has had streaks where he performed badly in EVERY year where he had multiple starts, which is why he got traded in 2015 in the first place. That is, streaks of bad games (like, appallingly bad) in every year with multiple starts but 2013, and even that year has a couple of real clby zn - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteLMU93 It is a risk and I hope he makes the PS but you are right. A good team should only keep maybe half their 6th and 7th round picks at most. If the Rams are sneaking Demby through to the practice squad--and in retrospect that is probably what they intended to do all along--they obviously picked an interesting day to do it. The day before the first Sunday games is probably the right timeby zn - RamsFootballFans.com
Quoteden-the-coach QuoteOzRam I liked what I saw from him in PS, potential is there and great size. Strange that they didn't cut Johnson again onto the PS. Yeah, that's a Head Scratcher....Not sure why they are keeping Johnson and if it is special teams, did not realize how important he was...Agree on Demby and I thought he had upside to play Guard/Tackle, which the Rams don't have they haveby zn - RamsFootballFans.com

Kromer was much more qualified when it came to praising Demby than he was with Noteboom or Allen. They may put him on the p.s. if he clears waivers but then that means they cut a different p.s. guy since they already had 10.

The best I can make out on that is that Ragland, who replaced him in 2017, is a bit younger and a lot bigger, plus was a 2016 2nd round pick who you might imagine they were eager to start (as is the way with 2nd round picks).

Quotestlramz Team Questionable Doubtful 29. Rams 43% (9 of 21) 0% (0 of 5) So see, that just gives a number to the often used phrase, "we just want to be smart."

Quotebigjimram21 While not signing Mack seems to send the message that if you play great you won't get paid by the Raiders(unless it's QB), you'll get traded.
