Some thoughts and personal insights leading up to the Rams NFL week 3 heavyweight matchup vs the Bucs on Sunday.
Like every new season in the first 2 or 3 games, there are NFL players that don't look as good as we projected them to be and other players that show flashes of being better than the year before.
Every new season, players ascend, look more of the same or take a step back from their production from the previous season.
It's only been 2 games but fans pick up on trends and quickly get concerned.
A small step back early in the 2021 season ?
Darious Williams = Wearing his new jersey #11 in a contract year, he doesn't look as sharp, fast or aggressive as he was in 2020.
Jordan Fuller = He wears the green dot now, but he's done nothing special and it appears he's gotten off to a slow start in 2021.
Terrell Burgess = Still working his way back from last seasons injury, it seems like he's a few more weeks away from hitting his stride.
A step up from 2020 ?
Sebastian Joseph-Day = He's playing well and looks to be improved from his 2020 performance.
Troy Reader = Has the look of an ascending player.
Justin Hollins = Picked up where he left off last season and has shown signs of taking another step.
David Long = Even thought it's early in the season, nobody has been missing the loss of Troy Hill.
Greg Gaines = So far so good after 2 games.
Flashes of taking the next step ?
Brian Allen = (didn't play last season) but so far he's been proving the Rams right by not giving up on him.
Van Jefferson = He splashed in week 1 and he will be under the microscope the next few games.
Rob Havenstein = Perennial Right Tackle is off to a great start in 2021.
Robert Rochell = Has the early votes for Rams rookie of the year.
I'm sure I left other solid candidates off of this list.
Still very early in the season but...
