The zone blocking scheme was developed at the collegiate level for the military academies, who because of weight limits, had smaller, quicker offensive linemen. The gap scheme with the size now up front with Jackson, Jackson, Avila, Dotson & Havenstein is the biggest OL the Los Angeles Rams have had ina very long time and I am looking forward to running right over Fred Warner and those penciby den-the-coach - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotesix2stack Quotealyoshamucci He is. He has punt returner and slot specialist written all over him. He's like Renfrow but tougher. I guess we shall see. He kind of reminds me of T.J. Moe, Former WR Mizzou. Tough, great hands, but had speed limitations and is Coaching football somewhere I think. He has never returned punts or kickoffs for that matter. If he did not do it college, heby den-the-coach - RamsFootballFans.com

I have them both making the roster. Omar Speights is very good in coverage and I am hoping that will send Troy Reeder packing, but it might send Jake Hummel out because somebody loves Reeder. Andrew Goodlow was given the highest bonus for the UDFA class so I believe he will be part of the rotation on the defensive line.by den-the-coach - RamsFootballFans.com
Finally had home field advantage with Dallas at the Coliseum, however, Ron Jaworski had just won games against the Steelers on Monday Night last game of the year plus did a great job leading the Rams over the St. Louis Cardinals in the Divisional Round. However, Knox went with Harris, who was injured, but deemed healthy against Dallas instead of playing the hot hand. Understandably turning turnby den-the-coach - RamsFootballFans.com
However, they were able to draft Zuerlein and found Matt Gay so they just thought they could do it again. Last year, IMO, woke them up. They brought in two kickers last year that were 1 & 2 for the Lou Groza award in Christopher Dunn & Tanner Brown, but both failed. Then they went the Veteran route with Brett Maher, but he missed too. They pivoted to find a young kicker on a practiceby den-the-coach - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRamgator Losing Bell and Holohan set the O WAAAAAY back. Back then NFL coaching staff coached the Senior Bowl and Robinson fell in love with Cleveland Gary then. Like posted, Gary had small hands and put the ball on the ground often.by den-the-coach - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteNewMexicoRam I'm sure the Rams will bring in another kicker. They have two kickers in Tanner Brown and Joshua Karty. IMO they will not add another barring injury.by den-the-coach - RamsFootballFans.com
Although Kyren Williams was very good in the red zone, I believe the Rams will give the ball to Corum inside the 10 yard line. Corum has more power than Kyren so I expect Corum to be the goal line RB besides being an excellent 1A RB overall.by den-the-coach - RamsFootballFans.com
They get too much credit when they win and not enough grief when they lose. Some of their fan are questionable to post the least and their draft room looked like a bunch of corporate castoffs. Although I do thank them for beating the 49ers last year.by den-the-coach - RamsFootballFans.com

Rams win the Super Bowl and Chris Shula is the next Head Coach of the Dallas Cowboys because if the Rams are successful and Shula's defense showcases aggressiveness and ranks well, Shula will be on everybody's shortlist for Head Coach and most likely will be gone after one year.by den-the-coach - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRams43 So you’re worried that Stoops will take opportunities away from Atwell and Xavier Smith? Not really I do not fear Stoops at all, I just do not understand why everyone seems to be looking at him plus the article had him actually making the squad. IMO, I just don't see it and not sure what he would actually bring to the table. Again I have confidence that someone like Xavier Sby den-the-coach - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRams43 Quoteden-the-coach And he has not played a down yet. He is too slow, Atwell is much better and so is Xavier Smith. How can you be tired of a player that hasn’t taken a snap even in practice yet? He’s a UFDA and cost nothing. What’s the harm in seeing if he can be helpful in some area, possibly special teams? I just do not think the Rams need a short slow WR on the squad. Iby den-the-coach - RamsFootballFans.com

Quotemax I’m not sure Snead is the shrewdest guy when it comes to dealing picks. But, hey, he got his guy and doesn’t appear to care about overpaying. Which he did. I concur Max, once the Rams identify who they want, they do not pussyfoot around negotiating. Basically, what will it take? And then boom, make the deal.by den-the-coach - RamsFootballFans.com

Would have Aaron Donald played one more year for his favorite position coach or would have Coach Henny talked him into it. You always want to hire the best person for the job, however, I will always wonder.by den-the-coach - RamsFootballFans.com
The reason the post Deacon Defenses were strong was because Jack Youngblood replaced him. So one hall of fame DE replaced another. Is Kobe Turner destined for the Hall of Fame now placing Aaron Donald as History does not repeat itself, but if often rhymes.by den-the-coach - RamsFootballFans.com
Xavier Smith not the former Colorado safety but the UDFA the Rams signed last year was a Punt Returner for Florida A&M and last season was adjusting to this level of competition. What is nice with Smith is his time speed of 4.38, that is right 4.38. The recent signings of guys like Drake Stoops & J J Laap, who are several ticks slower, Smith seems to have an excellent opportunity to beby den-the-coach - RamsFootballFans.com
IMO, he will step right in and make us glad he is in Horns. Pleased that he was available when the Rams came calling and his mother did her research and shared with Jourdan Rodrigue, she felt her son was the perfect fit for the Los Angeles and is the reason why in the video, his mom was donning horns. What a great addition and someone I hope will be around for a long period of time.by den-the-coach - RamsFootballFans.com
DE hand in the ground DE, IMO, I would be shocked if he does not make the roster.by den-the-coach - RamsFootballFans.com
Being transparent I did not like the pick and one of the reasons I did not like the pick was because of the history of some off the field issues. That being communicated, I wish Bennett nothing but the best and hope he is in a better place and can be an effective member of the Los Angeles Rams.by den-the-coach - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotemax I knew nothing about any of the Kickers in this draft. I was totally oblivious to who or when, or if at all, the Rams were taking in the draft. As it usually goes for me, the best things happen when I’m not paying attention. So my track record indicates Karty is gonna be a terrific kicker for us. LOL. Sometimes things just fall in place. Seems like this draft really fell to us quby den-the-coach - RamsFootballFans.com
Former running back in High School, that runs well and has experience as a KR & PR. IMO, Boston Scott might be handling both, but there will be some pressure on Whittington on special teams.by den-the-coach - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotemax I love the 43 on Karty. It’s real old school. Agree here Max, old school kicking plus Karty has a great leg with a long of 61 at Stanford.by den-the-coach - RamsFootballFans.com

Last year during training camp RB Zach Evans put the ball on the ground a few times, IMHO, that affected him during preseason & the regular season. Seemed to think about securing the ball first and running second. Seemed slow to the hole plus just tentative overall. Evans does have the extra gear, but we never got to see it because he was thinking ball security first, whereas, it should beby den-the-coach - RamsFootballFans.com
