Not at this moment. We're pretty weak opposite Floyd. Had we known Von was going to BUF, we could've been in on more.
I fully agree with you here in using the word
"pretty weak" in describing what the Rams have overall currently available to insert in that right side starting OLB/ER post that Miller played the last half of last season.
DC Morris was fine to start
Justin Hollins for the first 3 gms @ that OLB post...Rams won all of those 3 games. during that time
JH had 12 tackles/ 2 sacks & one forced fumble... he was injured & placed on the
Injured Reserve.
That's not a weak start of a season for a OLB'er IMO.
DC Morris had the options of going with the unhealthy
Og Okoronkwo or supposedly healthy
Terrell Lewis as his top reserves behind
JH. Morris went mainly with
TL from that point on.
TL's knee held up for 3 starts for the injured
JH, with 9 tackles &
3 sacks but
shriveled away & came up heavy on the injury list from that point on.
Lewis was never seen again after wk 12. With
Okoronkwo still not healthy &
JH on the IR Snead was forced to make the move at a great cost for the future assets in exchange for Von Miller.
Justin Hollins did return from the IR for Ram's last 5 gms along with the 4 postseasons gms as the main primary reserve ER to both Floyd & Miller. Summarizing
JH's 2021 season 12 played games either as the starting ER or top reserve ER ....
.the Rams won 11 of those 12 games. Not bad!
I would expect JH will be counted on as the primary lead starting OLB'er with Floyd. As to who will surface to the top of the reserves ......there's a very
BIG question.
