I'm told waiving S Maurice Alexander is strictly performance based. Rams feel like rookie John Johnson, who made the game-ending tackle against the Cowboys and had an interception against the Seahawks, earned his shot. Rams also like what they have in other safeties Cody Davis, Blake Countess, Marqui Christian and Isaiah Johnson more in certain roles -- including special teams -- and felt it was best to part with Alexander now. He is in the final year of his rookie contract.

Jerry, this isn't Club Fisher. You don't play well take a seat. This was a statement to Ogletree, Quinn and Watkins.

Right, he was a Fisher fave.
And remember, last year he was a free safety in an unusual safety scheme.

Guess he wasn't a scheme fit, hope he finds a home somewhere. His story of going from a janitor of the Edward Jones Dome to a starting strong safety for us is wholesome. He'll likely get picked up in Cleveland due to familiarity with Williams's scheme; Mo did and excellent job his last weeks of the 2016 season here

Agreed those three guys are supposed to be the Men Among Boys in our club. I think Quinn is finally stepping it up but AO and Watkins are missing too many plays IMO

If Mark Barron has a role on this team why couldn't they find a place for Mo?
Why do they feel he doesn't deserve time to gel but guys like Quinn can....

And it wouldn't be surprising to see more changes coming.
Quinn is really disappointing.
Ogletree won't be given forever to figure out his position.
Watkins is in a contract year.
All three better step it up.

It's the last year of his contract.
He just wasn't making it work.
But yeah something about his attitude or not accepting coaching or just not getting it overall.

Honestly, I see Wade getting LBs and DBs in the draft next year that will not only fill holes, but replace a lot of what we have now.
I like Tree, but I see him going back outside or away in a trade. Watkins seems to be following a pattern and Quinn is a bummer for me as I like him, but he won't be here next year.

Yea, I have to believe that there is more to this. I initially thought he was inactive due to a lack of effort in the Dallas game. These coaches are not going to put up with this crap like Fisher would. Watkins better check himself this week.

I'm guessing most of you didn't listen to that Myles Simmons and DeMarco Farr podcast the last couple of weeks. I believe it was the one leading into the Dallas game that Farr made comments about how Alexander wasn't into Wade's defense and was grumbling aloud about the new system. The following week we see Johnson on the field a lot including the final play on defense and then the next week Alexander is a healthy scratch and Johnson starts and excels leading to Mo being cut.
