He might not be the guy he was, but barring "Flowers" going off he should be our best edge rusher. In the Rams' defense he's not going to be a guy teams focus their gameplan on, that will remain as AD. There should also be a good rotation to keep him fresh. So I expect him to have a very strong start to the season (4 to 5 sacks in the early going) before teams start to scheme himby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
Marginal talent who is up for FA after this season, plus the Rams brought in another haul of young guys who fit. He probably starts, but ideally one of the young players shows well there at RG through camp and preseason. I think Edwards will settle in there eventually. He's very strong and moves well for his size, and I see a Badger right side OL being something that works for us. Evans cby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
Asking him that. He's not a guy who runs hard to contact or seeks it out. His running style isn't really a risk in comparison around the league of backs. He's got the ability to work it in the pass game too. Think the media dude ran out of things to ask then elected to make a story of it.by merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
Good question. Not sure how hard they hit Inglewood area but would think they need to at least inspect some of the key structure points or whatever.by merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
Vikes stadium is jagged edges and a box-like structure. Rams stadium is rounded edges and a more circular design set down into the ground. Both are rather unique IMO.by merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
All Jared has to do is get a little quicker with his reads, a little wiser in his anticipation of what defenses want to do, etc. He is going to do that, and the Rams' potency in the playoffs will get a boost. I really love the way the staff was setting him up with bad situations in OTAs that allow for him to work on the read progressions. This young QB of ours is going to continue to improby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
McVay's first two seasons he fielded teams that were much more potent on the offensive side of the ball, where the weakness was inconsistent defense that would suffer breakdowns in the secondary and folded vs the run. This year I think that overall equation changes a bit. Rams will still be in that top 5 group in scoring but they will be a better TEAM because of a defense that will finally puby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRockRam Living in the South, and being a UCF fan, it was really something to watch Henderson tear the UCF defense apart because that defense had serious speed. But Henderson simply out-quicks and outruns everybody. I know that the NFL values it, but I think that fans sometimes don't appreciate, that quick twitch/suddenness is a huge factor in a player's game. It is a huge factor in ADs gaby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
Yeah bad choice of words lol.by merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
He's a perfect fit for the system with his route running and intelligence, giving his QB a quick read option in any situation. And he's got sneaky size too. Gonna be really nice to get him back can't wait to see him tear it up this season.by merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
It's not like we're lookin for him to come in and 3T for us. His role is what he does well, and he is going to do it well. I think 43 is correct that when the pads come on things are going to look different. We will probably hear a lot more about him at that point. Oh and btw I agree with all the hoopla surrounding Henderson. He is such a great fit for this offense and with the plan to conby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
Is how they knew they could move down 3x times and still get him. I mean if that is true and I don't doubt it is, how were they so sure he'd be there? Did they feel like other teams didn't see something or know something they saw/knew? And if so what was it they saw or knew that other teams didn't? It seems to me that they prioritized a run support safety and moved down to get him where tby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
That Bears' defense was insane. They would have skinned Everette and made a rug out of him by midway through the first quarter.by merlin - RamsFootballFans.com

Good luck getting anyone to take that on. Maybe after a season or two.by merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
Rams are on that list of teams that will benefit most. The fact that it's going to be a disgusting style (IMO) of fishing for PIs aside, the rule change will translate into our favor.by merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
Rams brought in Matthews who is going to eat early down snaps at OLB. More competition that pushes guys like Ebu and Obo down the depth chart on top of the nature of OTAs being more about the mental side of things. If Obo has it in him to rise and compete that's gonna show in camp. I admit I'm concerned a bit that we haven't heard a thing about him from the media, but he's such an unknown quby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
Seems to me that Wade's scheme with its focus on adjustments through player responsibility is one that might really bring out the best in our new FA addition at Safety. Wade has always liked smart players, and Weddle is definitely that. We might be in for one heck of a season by the wily veteran.by merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
He's not blinded like 90% of the media on how the playoffs went down. He realizes that the Rams coming out of that NFC Championship game (in spite of the non-call which most cannot see past) was a hallmark growth win for a young and talented roster. He knows that all teams have holes, Rams just have fewer than most and more plus players than most. Winning the Super Bowl this year is going toby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
Because if this season goes the way I expect it to Jared's going to have a Super Bowl championship under his belt and 3x elite seasons. I think he will probably eclipse what Wilson got, but with longer duration and more money up front. I don't see the parallel you keep drawing on this. Wentz jumped into the elite paycheck range and he's proven nothing and been injury prone; his contract isby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
Top 3 offensive and defensive mind calling the shots. Top 5 QB who is just now entering his prime. Loaded rosters on both sides of the ball. The time for hand wringing and doubting the Rams' decisions is in the past. This is a window I'm gonna enjoy for all it's worth.by merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
I expect the years to be 6+ and since he will have at least one more high performance season under his belt the Rams are gonna have to pay top dollar. When it happens it will probably be trend setting like with AD. And I am good with that of course.by merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
And again I'm sure from the AAV perspective Wentz is closer to the "vet" contracts that came before.by merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
I suspect it is not as simplistic as you say. If you collected the last 5 second contracts and averaged them I suspect Wentz is closer to the "vet" baseline than he is his peers. And Goff deserves more. He is gonna crush the market. All my hopes of him taking a favorable AAV contract are gone.by merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
I think any sort of analysis of OTA feedback is overkill. Let's wait and see how camp breaks down, as always it will give us a much clearer picture of things. And re: Cooks I think he is still simmering over his dropped pass in the Super Bowl. He is going to be just fine.by merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
It's OTAs. If we keep hearing all this excitement in camp we might have another weapon emerge this season.by merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
Agreed. This is gonna be a season for the ages.by merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
You could see the dropoff in our passing game after he went down. The effect it had on Goff was significant, I think mentally, in addition to him losing a guy who can get open almost immediately when the chains need to be moved. Said before I think we win the Super Bowl if Kupp's lining up for us in the slot. Still feel that way. So they're not gonna risk losing him to a setback, they're goby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
Rams brought in two more OL in the draft to continue the rebuild of the unit. And this is a guy who is gunning for his first big contract so he will maximize his value on the market at a time when the Rams are trying to get another big contract done at QB.by merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
Henderson should allow for minimal change of scheme when he is in. He will take a lot of the run downs early in the season and as they gain confidence in him we will probably see more passing situation involvement. Brown will eat some snaps too. So roughly 35% snaps feels about right for the rook.by merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
