Joyner is a baller. Only going to continue to get better too as he learns the position better and learns from Wade. Very versatile player too. Still can’t believe some posters aren’t a fan of his

 

[OldSchool]

He's too short to play safety though!

Lol that is one critcism I remember very well from before the season. Thought it was laughable then and still feel the same way.

Think we have a good safety combination for the future with Joyner and Johnson. Just gotta get Joyner resigned after this season. Should be a no brainer.

Just think. We had this dude as our slot cover corner the last couple years. Imagine how much better he would be. He’s basically a rookie again. Big fan of Joyner.

I always thought he was miscast as a nickel corner, and that he should be moved to FS. I'm not the only one that thought that either.

Joyner is a baller... Ignore the hard knocks face to face drama scene... For an undersized dude he's always welcomed in our Rams secondary and IMO exceeded expectations. I'm happy for him.

 

[LumberTubs]

John Johnson gets a lot of love from PFF too. I’m happy with our safety situation bearing in mind Cody Davis too

Bummer that Joyner will be an UFA

They can keep him if they want to keep him I am sure.

 

[MachS]

And Fisher stuck him at nickleback for the past two years..what a joke.

I could totally see Fisher being a nickleback fan... but forcing Joyner to stuck with them for two years is North Korean type torture.

 

[Ramstien]

The guy is absolutely fearless and will not hesitate to stick his nose in there and knock your ass off.

 

[bubbaramfan]

When will Cody Davis be available?

When will Cody Davis be available?

Post Season.

Joyner excellent at FS concern is durability, but he's tough and I hope the Rams extend him. John Johnson looks slow to me, playing better than Alexander, however, right now Johnson in the right place, but reacts slow and runs even slower. I'm hoping another year in the system will improve Johnson, but I would look to draft another Strong Safety come April.

 

[LACHAMP46]

Lets see how he holds up....Surprising a lot of people so far....esp. me.
