Jay Feely

Please no.

 

[Blue and Gold]

Please no.

just a backup plan in case GZ gets hurt, IMO. Kind like, who do we call if . . .

Yeah I get that, but still please no.

 

[Hoosier Ram]

The way I read it the Jags worked Feely out. Am I missing something?

you could be right . . .

 

[Orchid]

Just the FO doing their homework just in case. I do like the experience of the LBs they are working out.

 

[ljramsfan]

I almost a made post on the Rams giving Pat Angerer a look. I think he would better than any of our backups IMO

 

[PhxRam]

yeah i think it should read

Rams: LBs Pat Angerer & Kelvin Sheppard
Jets: LB Steve Beauharnais

I've wanted Angerer for a while, been saying it over and over again. Would be a great addition imo.

 

[Amitar]

After looking at the Rams LB lineup I'm glad they are doing their homework. Still have needs to fill in the draft and we knew the Rams could not draft every position they needed.

 

[jjab360]

Between those two, I'd go with Angerer

No dude. You should always choose peace! Angerer will only lead you down the path of destruction.

 

[BKBISTRO]

As long as we stay away from Brady Poppinga and Ben Leber, we should be fine.

Me too. I like him as a depth guy, however, him taking so long to get signed then getting cut....makes me wonder how healthy he is....or if his injuries have gotten the better of him.

 

[RamBill]

Bill Polian loves Angerer....but then again....he drafted him. I've heard Polian talk about him on NFL Radio. They showed him getting cut from the Falcons on the final Hard Knocks. If they do sign someone it won't be until after Week 1 so they don't have to guarantee a full years salary.

 

[Memphis Ram]

Angerer is coming off microfracture surgery on his knee and was dealing with concussion issues this summer.

As a former member of the USMC, I chose piece every time!!

 

[HeiseNBerg]

Should we be a little concerned that:
a) JL55 has missed most of the pre-season with an ankle sprain and
b) both these guys can cover the middle?

Or am I just being overly-suspicious?

You're being overly suspicious. There were multiple preseason games that they acknowledged that if it were regular season Laurinaitis would be playing. It is well-known that Fisher does a great job protecting his vets.

This has everything to do with the team only having 5 LBs on the roster and doing due dilligence to add more depth and little to nothing to do with James Laurinaitis's availability.
