Just curious if anyone who watched last night’s game can give any thoughts on Tegray Scales. I know I have read quite a few very good reviews on Micah Kiser (Who, I really think will be a future star for the Rams for years to come!) but what about fellow LB/Rookie Scales? Does he have a chance to make the Rams final roster? If so, What was just recently (Probably, Still is!) considered a Rams major weakness could possibly become much better than thought before the Draft (Especially, If, Another fellow LB Ogbonnnia Okoronkwo can be as good as many Rams fans including me think he can become!).
OK. So, Scales, IMO played pretty well, once he got in there. He had a good series, where he had an inside solo tackle at the LOS, and a couple plays later had a good tackle from the oppo side of field. He's around the ball, when he is in there. There are some similar players out there. Good instincts though. We have so many LB'ers about the same size that he didn't get a long run. Kiser came in, and played pretty well too.
In 2nd half, on one play, Scales takes too long to read, and gets blocked on 2nd level, before he reacts. Nest action play for him, it's a run in his hole, and he assists, but Kiser beats him there, and makes a downhill play. Kiser is just more decisive. Still, a good play for Scales, he crashes down, and covers his gaps.
Next play is pass/pro, Scales covers the TE, and is in decent coverage, overthrow by Jackson, and Holley, who had coverage over the top, should have had a PI. Good recognition, and coverage by Scales though.
Early in the 4th, Scales made a diving, penetrating, TFL, just an exceptional play. Stopped a Ravens drive.
