But we don't have evidence of holism- the sum being greater than the parts. Ebukam was known as a developmental project in the draft. I was hoping in the second half of year two he would show some progress. Now would be the perfect time to see some development in his pass rush. From interviews, he comes across as a high character person. His game reminds me of Herschel Walker. He has mass and canby Rams Junkie - RamsFootballFans.com
[247sports.com] The BUCK linebacker By CLINT BREWSTER May 22, 2015 Looking at the “BUCK” position In Michigan defensive coordinator D.J. Durkins’s interchangeable 3-4, 4-3 defense, the BUCK position is the most important spot on the field. The BUCK position is a hybrid linebacker/defensive end somewhere between 6-foot-2, and 6-foot-5 and about 230 to 260-pounds. When the defense goes to aby Rams Junkie - RamsFootballFans.com
I was in the (auditorium) room when he was drafted. It was the draft in Chicago in the Auditorium Theatre. I had a free ticket from the lottery. He declared for the NFL draft after his Junior season with the Gators.by Rams Junkie - RamsFootballFans.com
His playing history fits what you are saying. Fowler had one start at Buck as a true freshman in 2012. Fowler flexed back and forth from DE and Buck in 2013. Fowler was the Gators MVP and started all 12 games at Buck in 2014 and was a Team Captain. I would expect the Buck position is an outside LB in a 3-4. So an outside linebacker hybrid who on certain plays will be asked to be a standby Rams Junkie - RamsFootballFans.com
Ha Ha Clinton-Dix - DB - Redskins Redskins acquired S Ha Ha Clinton-Dix from the Packers in exchange for a 2019 fourth-round pick. It's not surprising in that the Packers had telegraphed they would not be extending Clinton-Dix, but it is surprising because he's been an every-snap player this season. Jermaine Whitehead, who just got roasted by Todd Gurley in Week 8, is the next man up for theby Rams Junkie - RamsFootballFans.com

Jaguars asking for two 3rd rounders for Fowler. I heard it on ESPN. I do not have a link. Earlier they said the asking price for Jenkins seemed to be a 4th and he had two more years on his deal at a reasonable rate.by Rams Junkie - RamsFootballFans.com

"Nonetheless, as Pro Football Focus noted earlier in the week, Fowler would be an intriguing target for teams seeking an upgrade on the edge: 'Jacksonville's odd man out along the defensive line, Dante Fowler Jr., would have an immediate effect pressuring opposing quarterbacks with his 84.2 pass-rush grade. The former first-round pick is in the fourth year of his rookie deal and would beby Rams Junkie - RamsFootballFans.com
From Rotoworld: NBC Sports' Peter King writes the Rams "would have interest" in DE Dante Fowler if the Jaguars made him available for trade. The Rams could really use some help on the edge, and Fowler does not appear to be in the Jags' long-term plans after they declined his fifth-year option in May.

That GB kick return team is fortunate because #4 Zuerlein was going to get at the bottom of the pile and get that ball. I do like that he was intending to jump on the fumble. Jeff 'Money" Wilkins used to make a lot of tackles. I had to look it up. He made 5 in 2001, 6 in 2003 and 6 in 2004. I remember a Rams kickoff that was being returned up the field.

I wondered about giving Kromer the OC title but given the fact it is set up as a Run Game Coordinator and a Pass Game Coordinator it may not be ideal to do that now. I would ask Stan to pay him like a top OC. The loss of LaFleur was not so noticeable, but I think losing Kromer would be noticeable. Some new HC or a HC worried about being fired may make a run at Kromer as their new OC this offseasoby Rams Junkie - RamsFootballFans.com

Now he is in an Ernie Conwell (doing the dirty work) role. We know he is feisty and he has the want to needed to be a blocker. I am glad to see him do some community work.

Littleton was a DE in HS in San Deigo and an Outside LB in a 3-4 in college at Washington. I felt like the Rams needed to get something in addition to Goff out of that 2016 draft.

[247sports.com] Austin Proehl's Comeback Fueling NFL Hopes ByJARRETT CORDER Apr 3, 8:19 PM CHAPEL HILL, N.C. --- When North Carolina wide receiver Austin Proehl suffered a broken left clavicle against Duke last season, most expected his season to be over.

Brown could be this Rams team's, Robert Holcombe. McVay could steal a few recent 49ers plays from Shanahan. Brown seems like he has the mentality to block. He is a power/physical player. I would imagine he would be motivated to get more time on the field.by Rams Junkie - RamsFootballFans.com
The thought of putting the best 11 on the field came to mind. I trust Brown more than I trust Reynolds on the field. Brown would produce more and make fewer mistakes. It still gives the McVay his 11 personnel. Gurley could run jet sweeps, shuttle passes underneath QB in the shotgun, WR routes, etc. Shifting to/or/from a 2 back pro formation might give DCs something to study.

Suh and Donald get held all day long without getting a flag. McVay sounds fast talking and smart after the game. Barron lays the wood on someone.
