Rams cuts

[Soul Surfer]

Kept C Blythe though

Blythe looked good except for that one snap.
After that snap I had to look at his jersey to make sure they didn't re-sign Wells.

Damn, they killed them....

Forrest and Harkey, not huge surprises, but surprised me. I think everyone else was pretty much expected by me.

Crap you beat me to it. You younger, faster guys .... :alien:

I'm not so young my friend.:death:

Really surprised about Josh Forrest... He played well last year before he got heard...he made some plays in the preseason as well..

I'm not so young my friend.:death:

I'm 53 ... if your older than that, then it looks even worse for me!

Some big cuts here - Forrest, Spruce, Harkey, Wichmann

Forrest, Harkey and Wichmann are the biggest surprises to me.

I think we just really had a lot of depth at the position, and we haven't even seen Barron yet. I like Forrest though.

Forrest doesn't fit the prototype of an outside guy in Wade's defense.... doesn't really fit the prototype of an inside guy in Wade's offense... although he made plays, I guess they just felt like they needed guys who fit their system better.. You keep Grigsby and Hager over Josh as inside linebackers... eh... hope that's not a mistake.

I hate that we cut Forrest. I really thought he could be a future starter in the middle.

 

[JackDRams]

Forrest was probably the best performing linebacker this preseason. A little pissed off. He'll find a job quickly no problem.

I think Grigsby has some juice. He just needs a little time. And I think Forrest was more of a regime, keep the rookies cut.

So some of these guys were waived/injury (Spruce for one). Got to be able to play to make the team!

How does this affect the player? Is that just a notice to the rest of the league the guy has an injury or is there something else going on?

Looks like they kept only eight offensive linemen - Whitworth, Saffold, Sullivan, JBrown, Havenstein, DWilliams, Donnal, and Blythe.

They have to be looking for someone else via waivers, no?

Also, currently only 23 on offense ... Seems unbalanced, which would also seem to indicate more help is coming on the line ...

 

[OldSchool]

My PS list but I've been wrong before

G/C Eldrenkamp
LB Forrest
CB Jordan
TE Wilson
LB McKinzy
WR Cannon
DL Purcell
CB Penton
RB Rodgers
OT Dunn (or somebody from another roster)

How many players on the roster right now? The full 53?

 

[SteezyEndo]

Damn they just compiled the entire list.

There is a reason that DW was not seen much in RT but primary LT....he can not play RT well enough to be our swing OT.....however he is a good back up for ONE OL post LT & that's not a bad thing DW has won a MRP!
100% correct in addition he is also a good swing OG we get a 3 post interior OL'er from the Kromer clan to build our future OL on ....he's a keeper!
Darrell Williams IMO is not a weak LT reserve. Many may be have his performances @ RT stuck in their brain cells We should count our lucky stars that Kromer is a "deep thinker" & figured out DW strengths & his weaknesses.
DW is a fine technician who is built for the LT post.
I had him as a cut a few weeks back no better than any WWC by the end of this day has no ball skills .
Our Nickels & Dimes will not come from the outside corner unit. Wade has been using safeties all TC & pre season long in those positions. Wade could go with only 4 boundary corners. NRC/ Johnson/ Webster/ (Peterson/Hatfield). Wade utilized Johnson, Lamarcus Joyner, Blake Countess in the Nickle & Dimes with Cody Davis in control of the FS post.

The thing about Williams is he is so young & is playing the 2nd toughest position to learn in The NFL.
Same with Goff being so young & getting experience with full 1st team reps.

I like it, but I don't know about Rodgers. I don't think he's big enough, showed enough.

Looks that way right now, yes.
