There is a lot of spots I disagree with. Let's start at WR. SKOW isn't a lock. He is a big finesse WR with poor hands. He is a plus blocker. He should make the team, but Harris and McCutcheon are also big faster WRs. Harris is a decent blocker and McCutcheon is a difference maker. Also, Powell is a strong returner, but it is possible that Tutu may be ready to return full time. So Powell is hardlyby SoCalRAMatic - RamsFootballFans.com
We don't know whether or not Tutu can block. It's not all brute force, plus if he takes two defenders deep with him it gets them away from the line and opens up ground for other receivers and runners. McVay was talking up Tutu a lot and I don't think it's because the kid can only run a go. These players are seen every day in camp and they are studied by talent evaluators every step of the way.

The problem with Quinn is his co tract.by SoCalRAMatic - RamsFootballFans.com
No trade. 1. VJ is hurt. Wouldn't get a high pick right now 2. He should be back by game 2 in a very long season 3. He is our best most experienced deep threat Tutu and Harris aren't there yet. 4. Because we go 11 almost every snap VJ is a starter. 5. OBJ isn't a Ram. Right now he's not really a football player. We all hope he comes back healthy and re-signs with us. We have 3 experiencby SoCalRAMatic - RamsFootballFans.com
McVay is undefeated in season openers. I do think this will be a very tough game.by SoCalRAMatic - RamsFootballFans.com
They could televise/monotize these games no doubt. I sit through the entire combined every year just to see workouts. I liked the "article" but, this... Will Bobby Evans continue confound fans and make the team? ..is not a sentence. If the writer added the word "to" between "continue" and "confound" it would be a complete thought.by SoCalRAMatic - RamsFootballFans.com
If they like Perkins' improvement enough they'll keep 3. They could cut him and try to stash him on the PS. They could trade him. I don't see any way they cut, PS Wolf.by SoCalRAMatic - RamsFootballFans.com
Doubt O'Donnell pounces on a QB we cut. If they already traded for a backup and have Manion they are set. I don't see it as "wild" that Tutu isn't playing in PS. Everyone who has seen him has stated he has vastly improved. Is a DB gonna care that Tutu is 251 pounds when he runs right by him? And he will play STs. He was our starting PR before getting injured last season and could be aby SoCalRAMatic - RamsFootballFans.com
I came to LA from The NJ shore a long time ago. SOFI is unbelievable.by SoCalRAMatic - RamsFootballFans.com
A lot of undrafted players make the Rams. They don't care if/where you were selected. I don't understand Evans. He must know he might not make the team and yet he gives up on his blocks. One of the most important attributes an OL should have is intensity through the whistle. It looks like he almost doesn't want to play any more.by SoCalRAMatic - RamsFootballFans.com
Very silly. Sure he is like 5th best at almost every category. Did the 4 other guys win rings? In a way I think it's great that the Rams are still being underestimated. Cooper Kupp? Nah, there's better guys. Aaron Donald? Nah. Ramsey? Nah. Sure. Whatever floats your boat.by SoCalRAMatic - RamsFootballFans.com
I would try to avoid the 500 seats. Usually very happy with the 400s. All the other ones are good. Parking is very expensive. May want to drive part of the way and Uber in and out. You'll love SOFI. It is all that!by SoCalRAMatic - RamsFootballFans.com
I saw a practice with all the players sprinting last year. Yes, Atwell is the fastest. It's not close. Harris is the second fastest.by SoCalRAMatic - RamsFootballFans.com
True there is a top 3 and than everyone else. Kupp is the best in the game. Triple crown winner. He has size, moves and enough speed. He can run and block. AR is our starting 2. Big target with great hands. Camp reports were raving about his play. VJ is our 3. This is when he comes back healthy. It's also up until we re-sign OBJ. OBJ becomes our 2. AR drops to 3 and VJ goes to 4. Until then, Iby SoCalRAMatic - RamsFootballFans.com
McCutcheon looks like a find. He's made the team. How high he is on the Rams' depth chart remains to be seen. Could he have passed SKOW or even Tutu? Jefferson is out so can he ride to #3? Don't know but the kid has IT. I was surprised by the Blanton release. The guy really played well in last year's playoffs. After Higbee and Hopkins? Who is our third TE? I can't imagine. The backup QB questioby SoCalRAMatic - RamsFootballFans.com
McVay said it was a high ankle sprain and they would do surgery to speed up the healing process. These take a long time to heal.by SoCalRAMatic - RamsFootballFans.com
It's a good comparison. There are athletes who hate practicing but are gamers. This is true in acting and singing too. Sometimes a performer is a performer. Sad thing is many don't get the opportunity because most people in charge want to see performance level at practice/rehearsal. I was a pro actor and always hated rehearsals. I learned my lines (playbook) way before the first read (practice).by SoCalRAMatic - RamsFootballFans.com
Well, that's not good. He was playing really well. Hope he comes back soon.by SoCalRAMatic - RamsFootballFans.com
One more thought. Some here are criticizing Wolf for not showing off despite his extensive knowledge of the system. McVay doesn't expose his best plays in preseason. He runs basic high school plays and lets his assistants call the game. There is no motion. The OL don't pull or trap block. There is no triple stacked wide. No reverse or fakes. No pitches or sweeps. No WR screens. No double moves. Bby SoCalRAMatic - RamsFootballFans.com
The problem with all of this is that we are comparing apples to oranges. Last night Wolf faced the Texans' starting D. His OL was completely overwhelmed so he was in emergency mode on nearly every snap. He completed 14-22 passes and while throwing no TDS also threw no interceptions. Perkins came in the second half against backups. He did look good and moved the ball well. With Stafford's sore elbby SoCalRAMatic - RamsFootballFans.com
I don't hate the guy. I really like him. He is very exciting. I don't think he's consistent.by SoCalRAMatic - RamsFootballFans.com
All over the field. Looks like a star. Burgess made some plays. Interesting it looks like Gervase is playing ILB and calling the plays. We never talk about him but he might be on the 53.by SoCalRAMatic - RamsFootballFans.com
He actually made some plays. Happy with his effort. Texas has a strong D and this was their starters.by SoCalRAMatic - RamsFootballFans.com
Ya know, it's a practice game. The scores don't count, but that nice clean hit by Yeast goes for a 15 yard penalty and then their WR catches the ball out of bounds and suddenly Texas leads. Ughhh!by SoCalRAMatic - RamsFootballFans.com
Agreed our starters should be very strong and we could even go a couple deep if necessary if injuries occur. Hopefully they stay healthy and we run the table.by SoCalRAMatic - RamsFootballFans.com
I really like Jourdan's journalism and enjoy her takes, but I couldn't disagree more. If the Rams kept a Perkins and designated Wolfie to the PS he would get snapped up in a heartbeat. He has experience and really knows this system which is being emulated by many other teams. The Rams former assistant coaches are everywhere as head coaches and would love to have someone so knowledgeable and experby SoCalRAMatic - RamsFootballFans.com

If you want to be a star for the Rams you gotta practice that look in your eye. When you look at the coach be ready.by SoCalRAMatic - RamsFootballFans.com
Pretty good read. As fans we get all riled up about roster cutdowns and cuts and practice squad and such, but, the truth is, a lot of these guys who don't initially make the team and go the the PS come back and actually get called up to play. Our roster will change constantly as injuries occur. A guy like Lake wasn't going to start for us in September games any way. He will go to the PS and hopefby SoCalRAMatic - RamsFootballFans.com
