Snead adds signs 2 interior OL'ers

[BonifayRam]

According to Joe Thomas the Rams have added OLs Eric Kush and Brian Folkerts to the active roster. Folkerts played at Hazelwood Central HS in StL. Looks like both are WWC's.This will be Kush's 5th NFL team he is pretty much a pure center. It will be Folkerts 4th NFL team did some time with Arena football as a fullback but has played OT/OG & OC during his football life.

Kush lol

That's just begging for a suspension

He should play for the Vikings so his nickname can be Purple.

All kidding aside, cool he's a local kid. Hopefully the injuries are behind us.

Gotta keep him away from SB12.

Related to Frank Kush?

Kush was KC's version of Barnes. Difference being they had a legit option in Morse who beat him out. Looks like a shrewd pickup, good team-first guy, solid backup which would allow them to use Rhaney if necessary at OG. He might stick around a bit.

Don't think Folkerts will stick, but we'll see.

 

[Limey]

I wonder if Kush will be the backup C and Rhaney move to backup G? Hope Rhaney isn't going to start ahead of Wichmann.

 

[DR RAM]

After the Rams signed Kush, JJ, Tru, and Sted all signed to long term 0 money contracts.

Both of these guys have some explosive, athletic numbers for their size. Not familiar with their play.

 

[LACHAMP46]

Who?

 

[Riverumbbq]

Who replaces Battle on the 10 man Practice Squad ?

Do these new Centers mean Rhaney at RG or is it a demotion ?

LT - GRob
LG - Reynolds ?
C - Barnes ?
RG - Rhaney ?
RT - Donnal ?


RotoWorld :
Rams signed C Eric Kush and C Brian Folkerts.
The Rams are shuffling their line depth after a dreadful Week 10 performance. Tim Barnes has been one of the league's worst centers this season.

Man...

You can't put the words JOE THOMAS in a post about the Rams signing new O-linemen.
Got me amped up for a 1/4 second.

Bullshit.

bullcrap.

Damn near.

 

[PhxRam]

Damn near.

he probably has close to the least amount of snaps as a starter in that list. You would think that would skew his numbers a little bit.

Dunno. He was 2 more snaps than the best guy on that list.
I would also think that the sheer amount of 3 & outs we have would be more of a number skewer.
We're simply not on the field as much as other teams are.

That is what I was trying to get at unsuccessfully.

If he is, we know he's well disciplined .

That was my first thought, I was hoping Wichmann would start too, however, I guess we will know more from practice.

I think a bigger factor would be playing between inexperienced, and revolving, Guards.

Yep, that too.

 

[DR RAM]

Yep, that too.

Only game that he stood out for playing bad, was the Viking game, and it wasn't all bad.
