my guess on cuts - 4 years ago

My guess on remaining cuts: Bryce Perkins (its a risk, but hopefully makes it to PS, can't carry 3 QB's with their issues at OL and LB Coleman Shelton (although I believe what they would rather do is put Brian Allen on the DL with designation to return, and keep Shelton for time being) Eric Banks Justin Lawler Donte Deayon (too bad, good locker room guy, but he's the 5th corner and they ha

Re: Corbett? - 4 years ago

Agreed. And when you see him, he's built like a Center. But I don't remember him ever playing Center last year, and there has been no word or pictures of him playing Center in camp. I think they are just trying to get him completely up to speed at guard. He'd be a nice replacement next year for Blythe at Center, and if Edwards can get back in shape he should be starting at guard.

Re: LA Rams: Projecting the final 53 and practice squad... - 4 years ago

Jake's offensive line does not make sense. He has no one other than Blythe that has played snaps at center in practice. Either Shelton or Allen will remain on the squad; you have to have a backup center. The only other option is the 2 guys you can have active from the practice squad on game day, so they may try to do it that way, but its risky.

Re: Why do people think this is a huge loss? - 4 years ago

I think where he was drafted is irrelevant. He won the starting job in training camp, it was an open competition, and he outperformed Young, Reeder, etc. He was also our special teams tackles leader last year. The kid can play. Sure, if this is our biggest injury loss this year, we will indeed count ourselves lucky. But don't kid yourself, its a loss, he was a willing tackler with speed and

Re: travon howard out for season - 4 years ago

There's the shoe we've been waiting to drop. They were way too secretive for it not to have been something serious. Now Young has to step up. But our proven ILB depth is arguably the worst position on the team.

Re: Dortch was cut a month ago. - 4 years ago

If they actually keep Demby on the active roster for any amount of time I'm going to lose my mind.

Just goes to show the value of an article like this. Lazy reporting with minimal depth.

Re: Travin Howard has a knee injury. nm - 4 years ago

There is no cause to tell someone to "settle down". If you'll reread I just politely asked "Please include links to the information." Its a standard we are trying to hold all posts/posters to. And there is new context on the topic, which was included in subsequent tweets from others that were posted, which is that it did not happen in the scrimmage, it happened this last we

Re: Travin Howard has a knee injury. nm - 4 years ago

It's a pretty simple concept. If you are going to start a new thread with specific information about a player, you need to cite your source.

Re: Travin Howard has a knee injury. nm - 4 years ago

Please include links to the information. Here is all I have seen on it:

Re: Mine is Burgess by midseason.... - 4 years ago

I think its unlikely for a few reasons. At 5'11 3/8" and 200+ lbs, he is built like a safety as opposed to a slot corner in particular. More importantly, that would mean both Long and Williams are on the bench (as well as Deayon and others if they keep them). Barring injury, I just don't see that happening other than specific running down situations or garbage time. That's too much cover

Re: Money is on Long - 4 years ago

I agree on Long. They are grooming him to be outside next year. No way they will pay both Hill and Ramsey. Hill has turned out to be decent, but Long certainly has the talent to be at least as good.

Re: Falcons Release OG Jamon Brown - 4 years ago

No way. He was a guy that they wanted to be good and physically looked the part, but just wasn't. He could not stay engaged on blocks, and consistently graded out as their worst starter. Just like Demby in my opinion, just cannot stay locked up with and in front of his man.

Re: don't need 5-6 OLBers - 4 years ago

Allen will start the season on IR. But he will be replaced by another lineman, probably Kolone or Shelton as a backup center for the first few weeks. Corbett has spent little time at Center at practice. Cabral will be stashed on the practice squad. The only one of these LB's that has a shot of sticking is Patrick, who has position flex since he started as an ILB. In fact, there has been tal

Re: He will be kind of a rover or whatever they - 4 years ago

No, I don't think that's likely. Matthews had MLB experience with the Packers which is why they did that occasionally. Floyd rarely if ever did that with the Bears. Yes, he may drop into coverage on the outside depending on the rush or blitz call, but in Nickel they will go with a better coverage backer in the middle, likely Young or Howard if they decide to take out Kiser in passing situation

Re: I think Ebukam & Floyd are inside... - 4 years ago

Huh? Ebukam and Floyd are not inside backers, never will be. Our inside backers for this year are certainly on the team and have been discussed at length - Kiser, etc. You don't like Ebukam, ok. I think he's underrated. He came from a small school, changed positions, and has a ton of athletic ability and has a lot of game snaps under his belt. He will start opposite Floyd. Obo will come in

Re: Rams RBs coach: Cam Akers can 'potentially grow into an every-down back' - 4 years ago

Wow, that's as simplistic as analysis can get. At a minimum, you don't think having some competition in our running backs room after losing our starter is worthwhile? Geez.

Re: Rams should make a run at Worford - 5 years ago

This is not new and has been obviously discussed already, but the point here is that even if its not about the money (of course it is a little, even if you get "creative" it will likely eat up all remaining space), its about the roster spot. If you sign him, its a short term addition (1 year deal, or a 2 year spread that is really a 1 year deal), so which of your young linemen are you

Re: good discussion...thanks for getting us back to football!!! - 5 years ago

Yes, thank you for talking football again instead of fashion, geez. However, I'll disagree with you on a couple of points. I'll all but guarantee you that Ebukam will start over Obo. They like E and he holds his ground and sets the edge better than all those other guys. He will start, Obo will rotate on clear passing situations. Also, Reeder will make the roster. He's more athletic than bei

Re: Chandler Brewer. - 5 years ago

So many people have missed this in all their whining about the offensive line, which was primarily driven by a couple of injuries. Brewer is the real deal and is going to be a very good player. He was one of their top 2 or 3 rated linemen from preseason games last year.
