http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2017/08/18/rams-signing-lb-davis-tull/ The Rams are signing linebacker Davis Tull, according to Mike Garafolo of NFL Network. Tull was a fifth-round pick of the Saints out of Tennessee-Chattanooga in 2015. He spent his first season on injured reserve. New Orleans released him before the start of the 2016 season, and he spent time on the practice squadby The Professor - RamsFootballFans.com
Even if these guys don't make it, it is a good move. The two WRs released were around #11 and 12. They had no shot of making the club, so churn the bottom and see if these guys can help. We picked up a lot of WRs when there was a lot of walking wounded in the WR core. Currently, that is the case with CB, so Davis may be in to help with the game tomorrow (or perhaps just for helping with practiceby The Professor - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRams43 Here's HopHead Ram (slightly edited)... I talked to him a bit at the end of that practice. I will just add a few comments to his. Here are a couple of observations that stood out to me on my final camp practice of the year. I love the way McVay coaches these players. I was in the corner of the redzone when they were doing the 1 on 1 Redzone drills and he was so detailed orienby The Professor - RamsFootballFans.com

Not anything to worry about as Watkins is still learning the playbook, Goff's cadence etc., but in his first series with Goff, he was flagged as he started prior to the snap.by The Professor - RamsFootballFans.com
There were a number of times the D got into the backfield today. Barwin had a speed rush around the RT that would have been a sack. There were a few other times the D beat the #1s, however, the bigger issues were when the 2s were in. In those cases, most of the pressure that I noted were on the left side of the line or up the middle. On the third play of 11 on 11s, pressure came through the leftby The Professor - RamsFootballFans.com
The Goff to Watkins pass in the twitter feed is not listed above. I was talking to my dog's vet at that time as our dog had surgery yesterday and the vet wanted an update so while I saw that pass it was not in my notes.by The Professor - RamsFootballFans.com
Comments on Practice for Tuesday the 15th Please note that I left my paper to take notes on in my car so all my notes were on the white space of my roster. In trying to decode things I may have some of this out of order. First, today’s practice seemed to be only the 1s and 2s when they went to WRs/DBs, 7 on 7 or 11 on 11. Those further down the roster only practiced when the team split intoby The Professor - RamsFootballFans.com

Locks: Watkins, Woods, Kupp Likely lock: Austin - too much of a cap hit to cut, probably too big a contract for other teams to take on? Looks to be getting a spot: Cooper. He was running with the 1s while Tavon was out (prior to gaining Watkins). Coach also gave him props when discussing how the trade would positively affect the rest of the wide receiver core.

He looks much better this summer than last. He looked in way over his last year in the preseason, holding the ball too long, getting sacked, fumbling, and throwing picks. He is not a stud yet, but he has come a long way from last year. He is clearly better than Mannion and that was not the case last summer.by The Professor - RamsFootballFans.com
There were more people there today then for the first practice last year so I will agree it was probably the biggest UCI crowd (but I did not go to the first two practices this year).by The Professor - RamsFootballFans.com
A huge crowd for the joint practice. The bleachers on both fields were packed as was one of the two end zone bleachers. Practice was supposed to start at 4:30 and at that time the chargers were out stretching on the far field but the rams were not out yet. The rams came out about 15 minutes later and did not seem to have as organized a pre-game warm up. However, I was sitting in the bleachers onby The Professor - RamsFootballFans.com

Shippen, Spruce and McRoberts were the 2s on Friday. so it is really an issue of what position each of those is playing.by The Professor - RamsFootballFans.com
I have not finished posting about Firday's practice so I will add a bit here. Normally in camp, I tend to focus on the QB and WRs in 7 on 7s and 11 on 11s. Because ofour oline's weakness last year and the big changes in the offseason, I decided to focus on the line for about 1/3 of the plays when the first team was playing. Specifically, I keyed in Hav at RG. When I was watching, he tended to holby The Professor - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotemax Goff has been inconsistent. One good throw, two bad throws. The comment about one good throw, two bad was a response to a question about Mannion. The host said that McVay had good things to say about Mannion in the off season, so how is he looking. I agree that without a deep threat or playmaker, the team will have to have 8-10 play drives to score. However, watching one day of cby The Professor - RamsFootballFans.com
In one of the 11 on 11 sessions, the offense starts off at the 1 and has to work their way down field. The 2s were eaten alive by the D. After a short gain, Spruce flinch on the line of scrimmage for a false start putting the offense back at the 1. The Defensive players claimed they had safeties on three of the next four plays. Justin Davis never made it out the backfield. The next play Mannion wby The Professor - RamsFootballFans.com
First time I went to practice this year. The covered bleachers were a big improvement over last year. I will post this in sections. The first section will be on the drills prior to the offense vs. defense. The second section will be on the 7 on 7 and 11 on 11 drills. I may make a third post about post practice. I met Bubbaram and a poster who runs a different board. As I am not sure if I am allowby The Professor - RamsFootballFans.com
He is battling Austin Blythe who was a 7th round pick by Indi last year for the backup center position.by The Professor - RamsFootballFans.com
Tru, Webster are penciled in as starters. Robey-Coleman is supposed to be good in the slot. Joyner's moving to free safety but may be in the slot at times if they bring in the rookie at Safety. Gaines was great his rookie season, missed a year and was not too good last year (perhaps not fully back from the listfrank injury).

One could make a strong case, that Sam deserved to at least be on the practice squad. Michael Sam had 11 tackles and three sacks that preseason. There were 20 DEs with at least one sack and 8 tackles in the preseason that year. Only 2 did not make a roster. There were 31 rookies who had two or more sacks and 10 or more tackles in the preseason between 2010 and 2014 (again, Sam exceeded thoseby The Professor - RamsFootballFans.com
Woods is manning one of the outside spots. Reynolds and Thomas fit the other outside spot. In the slot there is Kupp, Cooper, and Spruce. Austin typically fits there too but the new admin is trying him to play in the spot where Reynolds and Thomas are fitting. As Thomas played well on teams, that is another plus for him. Without Thomas, then it seems that the top 6 WR are in good shape to make thby The Professor - RamsFootballFans.com
I am not sure why you are discussing week 3, he is out until after the rams play four games. So he does not count until the start of week 5.by The Professor - RamsFootballFans.com
Typically 3-4 defenses have big DTs. Brockers fit the bill. But there are no other d linemen over 305 on the roster. Cam Thomas was a FA until june 8th. Why did the rams let him leave? I know Phillips likes lighter D linemen but I would think they would bring him back and see if he could be a space eater.by The Professor - RamsFootballFans.com
Rams waive Randolph From ProFootballTalk: The Rams waived defensive back Brian Randolph, leaving them with 85 players on their roster. Randolph signed with the Rams as an undrafted free agent out of the University of Tennessee last offseason.

Is it a ILB? OLB? d-lineman? Last year Olgetree and Baron stayed on the field when they rams went to nickle. They are now both ILBs if they go to 3 DL 2 OLB and an ILB is it Baron who goes off the field?
