does Akers know the offense like Brown? Does he know pass protections? When is he going to get that down between now and the season starting... especially with COVID-19? I fully expect McVay to create some packages for him but he will have a ton to learn before he can play every down especially in an offense that throws the ball like the Rams Nope we should see a rotation from the very beby Speed_Kills - RamsFootballFans.com
developing I totally get what you are saying... it is a concern but they are obviously banking on some of those players to come through I also think McVay really believes in his system masking limitations in the oline all the motion and play action causing defenses to freeze and react. It did that even in 2018 Not saying I agree with him just trying to get my arms around the why.by Speed_Kills - RamsFootballFans.com
oh I would be surprised if Akers gets more time than Brown right away agreed on Jefferson... that's a no brainerby Speed_Kills - RamsFootballFans.com
the oline is a major question mark but the Rams clearly made a decision and thought there was more value in the other positions drafted we are just going to have to wait and see how it works out... they have a ton of numbers on the oline... the problem is are any of them really any good? I really liked the film on Akers... very excited about his size and explosiveness. Terell Lewis too...by Speed_Kills - RamsFootballFans.com
he really struggled at guard tho'by Speed_Kills - RamsFootballFans.com
the Niners pass protection is a major problem but adding a healthy Williams to what they do in the run game yikes :Sby Speed_Kills - RamsFootballFans.com
that gets in the way of the cheerleading man The Rams are just wonderful and all is well in disneyby Speed_Kills - RamsFootballFans.com
until I read that hopefully he’s lost it ... the Niners oline is an absolute issue and they need a healthy Williams sighby Speed_Kills - RamsFootballFans.com
Akers has great size and speed.... he will fit in nicely But he needs to know pass protections before he can play extensively. McVay can move him in the formation maybe try to get him involved in passes from the los and obvious run downs. But the Rams RBs have to know protections It’s gonna take him some time to get those downs and no otas doesn’t help In a normal season I would saby Speed_Kills - RamsFootballFans.com
Akers will need to learn pass protections.... I imagine Brown will be the primary initially with Henderson sprinkled in plenty as the Rams bring Akers along. Jefferson - is likely to be stuck behind the starting three for sure. Unless one of those three are hurt and he is forced into action. Besides it’s very rare for WRs drafted on the second round and behind the kind of depth Jefferson willby Speed_Kills - RamsFootballFans.com
but it’s natural as a fan to wonder I think it just speaks to the holes the team has They clearly felt they needed a RB and had a lack of numbers at WR. They needed to add an edge rusher for sure. Did they need a corner? You bet You can’t fill those holes and draft olinemen too not with the limited number of draft picks they have/had As with everything we just need to see how it playby Speed_Kills - RamsFootballFans.com
but they have a ton of bodies/numbers nothing very certain except an aging Whitworth Anybody they draft tonight just adds to those numbers. They might be able to add someone after cut downs but yup it looks like they are going to work with what they have fingers crossedby Speed_Kills - RamsFootballFans.com
As I looked at it I kept thinking it’s ok I guess. I mean using that as a logo during a broadcast like the draft I guess it’s fine But on merchandise and everything I’ve seen I just don’t like it. I think people that have said it looks like the logo for a LA morning show have hit the nail on the head I have noticed seeing less of this logo and more of the Los Angeles Rams type face.

Just decided not to post figuring it would get lost in draft postsby Speed_Kills - RamsFootballFans.com
hes not a burner and people thought they would try and replace that which was lost with Cooks gone none of these guys are slowby Speed_Kills - RamsFootballFans.com
6'2 200lbs he will fill out so not the speed guy people were hoping for... but replacement for Reynolds unless Reynolds blows up Rams looks like they will definitely be changing their offense upby Speed_Kills - RamsFootballFans.com
whats not to like? we need those kinds of athletes for sure he looks like he can playby Speed_Kills - RamsFootballFans.com
looks like might be a better athlete I think they liked his size to team him with Hernderson?by Speed_Kills - RamsFootballFans.com
ballsy pick hmmm damn sighby Speed_Kills - RamsFootballFans.com
maybe I missed that but i just don't think hes handled the roll out well <shurg> Heres to hoping the uniforms are fantastic and we can move on! :beer2 too much negativity surrounding our Rams this off seasonby Speed_Kills - RamsFootballFans.com
I mean like you have seen the hat before .... but why is it black I mean did polling reveal the black one looked better or something? Are they trying to lure Raider fans making it black PH you and I are mostly on the same page on this... but KD hasn't handled this thing great. He just seems like he is all over the placeby Speed_Kills - RamsFootballFans.com
are you saying that given the RBs that could be there you're more flexible on it now? (or could be) I know RBs were supposed to be deep in this draftby Speed_Kills - RamsFootballFans.com
but looking at those again its just another take on the current royal blue and yellow uniform....not a big departure at all the one that standout as being a departure would be the blue pants with yellow strip. That uniform looks exactly like the all blue the Chargers released the other day I can't even make out the helmet from the picture you posted to even begin to work up enough steam toby Speed_Kills - RamsFootballFans.com
teams don’t come into a game last year against the Rams and say hey you know we have stop this Josh Reynolds he barely even played prior to Cooks injury Brandin Cooks because of his production and skill set was a focal point for defenses until he got hurt even last year If Reynolds is better than Cooks I haven’t seen that. Now that would be great and if he can attract a safety and doubleby Speed_Kills - RamsFootballFans.com
that’s part of the skepticism people say I’m negative but I say i’m not being negative I’m looking at what we have and right now we don’t know what we have In the 2018 off season we knew we had. It was staring us all on the face. We knew we were one of the best teams in football. A lot has changed since then Here’s the thing although COVID is seriously disrupting how teams do businesby Speed_Kills - RamsFootballFans.com
I still love my boys just a tough offseason for sure they took a step back last year for sure lost talent from that team and have unresolved issues on the oline. have major coaching changes and add in COVID.... ugh not to mention the offseason interruptions that causes a team with new coaches to have to adjust this is my team love them.... been a fan for over 40 years but yeah thisby Speed_Kills - RamsFootballFans.com
