Here’s BonifayRam… Yes, very pleased and happy with the way that Nick Scott the former late 7th 2019 late-round draft pick turned out He should have a good long career in the NFL as a good deep safety & a decent strong safety. I project that Scott will sign elsewhere for a good size contract after what he has done the last two seasons. I do not expect the Rams to be able to compete in theby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Well said,93. You is a voice of reason on this board. IMO, if Rams can pull some combo of as few as 6 well placed FA signings/or solid draft picks than they are truly back for ‘23. That’s VERY doable if they are focused. At least to deep playoff caliber level. Assuming not having another catastrophic injury season, that is. I look for some turnover in the coaching ranks as well and iby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Daniel Jeremiah wonders if Rams should 'tear it down,' rebuild and draft a QB in 2024 What makes the Rams’ rough 2022 season so much worse is the fact that they won’t reap the benefits of having an early pick in the first round. They traded their first-rounder to the Lions in the Matthew Stafford deal, so their earliest pick will be in the second round. They are scheduled to pick inby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteLMU93 Without question. And a silver lining of having picks in the mid-30s and late 60s now is they have the ammo to get both. And I would add behind that a blocking TE and RB to pair with Williams. The rest is luxury. I agree with your needs list, 93. Actually, a FA for LOT might be best solution rather than draft. Also, I think a quality Safety might be rather high on Ramsby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Quoteden-the-coach Not to steal from George Thorogood, but the Rams must come away with that triumvirate during the draft or free agency at the minimum. Also I strongly believe they need to make a change at OL Coach and assistant OL Coach with Kevin Carberry & Nick Jones, but I'm not sure McVay will make that change. Even the LOT might not be needed, depending on Jackson’s status with theby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRamstien As I have said before they need a better strength and conditioning program/coach. Prior to this year Rams were considered to have among the very best strength and conditioning programs, if not the very best in the entire league. I doubt that Reggie and his guys were the problem.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
That OL hampered everybody involved from McVay on down to the water boy. Other than Kupp before injury, is there a single O player that even matched expectations much less exceeded them? Probably best to judge AR based upon next year’s results with a normal OL and functioning Offense.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Snead’s roster building strategy has nothing to do with the catastrophic injuries, mostly on OL. I’m not blaming ALL Ram woes on OL injuries but to not factor them in is ridiculous. I do think that drafting, coaching, certain starting player decisions, schemes, and play calling have made a very bad situation worse and have posted as much. The respective offenders must be held accountable. Bby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com

Here’s Oldnotdead… People are in denial about Morris. He plays his buddies talent be damned. He was that way in Atlanta and he's that way here. Rochell's best in man coverage. He has the speed, agility, and length to play as a boundary CB. He was really beginning to develop before he got hurt and Morris fell in love with Kendricks, who has shown why he dropped like a stone in the draft. He's eby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Here’s Merlin… First off with the corners you have to look at time onboard. Why is Long still getting so much playing time when he's been around and has shown that he is a JAG. Rochell at least is on the bench where he belongs. Neither of these two are going to do a damn thing in this league. It's over for them. Rookies meanwhile are going to make mistakes.

QuoteRam_Ruler Yeah I don't think the Rams are thinking about their roster the same way others are. People are proceeding as if the Rams need to tear it all down. I think they're more inclined to bring in a few savvy vets to replace the subpar and pray for forgiveness from the injury gods. I quite agree, Ruler.

What Should the Rams do with Allen Robinson in 2023? Should the Rams cut, trade, or keep Allen Robinson? BlaineGrisak One of the biggest disappointments of the 2022 season for the Los Angeles Rams has been wide receiver Allen Robinson. After signing Robinson to a three-year, $46.5M contract, the former Chicago Bears wide receiver has just 33 catches for 339 yards and three touchdownby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Here’s Jacobarch… Here's my take on this... Since Staley came aboard the Rams in 20' the Rams adopted his Defense. Which is primarily zone, with a star player essentially roaming the field as a type of hybrid SS/LB following the opposing QB's eyes. Ramsey is the logical player for this position. He has a nose for the ball and can lay the wood when playing at the LOS. I can remember a handfuby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteLMU93 To me the biggest question mark is Rochell. I thought he would end up seeing significant snaps as, at worst, the CB3 or CB4. he had 17 defensive snaps the first 5 games and just one since. He's a nice ST player (4th most on the team) but should be more by now. 2023 is a big year for him and I think he's someone that will not be guaranteed a roster spot ($767k saved if released).

QuoteRamgator We hardly ever see 11 men to the ball. We hardly EVER get turn overs. Everytime another team fumbles, nobody is around. Good points, gator. Sloppy tackling and lack of turnovers are two very damaging weaknesses.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRamgator The proof is in the pudding. I don’t think it’s soft play, gator. I think it’s some combo of poor coaching and poor scheming, plus not giving certain players any on-field opportunities. Not a good mix. The annual loss of quality asst coaches has finally caught up with Rams, I’m afraid. Hopefully, McVay will identify and make appropriate adjustments.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com

Where’s the development of youngsters? Why does Ramsey seem to be regressing? Why can’t Rochell, Durant, and Lake even sniff the field? It’s certainly not because Kendrick, Long, and Rapp are playing lights out. Do we have an asst coaching problem?

I’m now opposed to 2nd contracts for virtually any RB. Their useful shelf life doesn’t warrant it, frankly. Draft a RB every year is the way to go. Besides, this is reportedly a bumper crop RB class.

Trust me, dude, a good pass rush would make a world of difference even in Morris’ D. In fact, his strategy is predicated on having a good pass rush with 4 players (4 players is the key here) AND having an O that can put up 28-30 points per game consistently.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
