10 Observations from Rams' joint practice with Texans: Matthew Stafford's 'full day', increasing clarity on Beaux Limmer's role and more

 

[HE WITH HORNS]

Looks like Limmer might start at center if Jonah Jackson can't play. Avila would start at LG. Good thing we drafted him.

3 OL + Puka.

If we went into any reg season game down 3 starters on the o line plus Puka, we would be in trouble.

I’m hopeful Limmer is good enough to move Avila to guard if Jackson’s not ready to go. I like that alignment better than 2 backups on left side.

Unless we were playing Seattle

That was the plan I was wholeheartedly behind going into this offseason: draft a starting Center. Acquiring JJackson changed that, but as you say, lucky the Rams drafted Limmer.

Limmer took all of the center snaps for Stafford on Thursday.

“I like the command, I like the communication,” McVay said of Limmer, “I think you see a lot of the physical traits where he can come out of his hips and get more removal. I think he’s getting more and more comfortable in the protection element. … Beaux has made some really good strides, and I think that’s a credit to the guys around him but also Ryan Wendell and Zak Kromer. To be able to have some versatile pieces like we do, and then being able to get Jonah back, that will be really big for us. And I think we’ve really developed some depth at the tackle spot.”

The Rams’ first-team offense still tested several different concepts with a combination of receivers. With Puka Nacua still recovering from a knee injury, McVay has been rotating in veteran Tyler Johnson, second-year player Xavier Smith and rookie Jordan Whittington into the “Nacua” role. Whittington, a former preps star running back, may eventually add an interesting element to the Rams’ run game (they like to use screens and sweeps as an “extension” of their stretch runs) and Whittington continued getting blocking reps as well.

As I have noted, Atwell’s role seems to be as depth behind Demarcus Robinson and in situational concepts, as he splits time between the second and first team.

Great to see the interior of the line set. You never know what will happen.

Yeah this interior oline may be the best and deepest we've had in recent and even not recent past. It's the tackles I'm worried about because it seems every scrimmage has had notes of them getting abused with Jackson and Hav out. We need those two back and healthy.

Has Havenstein been practicing yet?

Has Havenstein been practicing yet?

I don't think so.

 

[Psycho_X]

I don't think so.

Was about to wonder if Hav wouldn't end up on temp IR for ease of roster cut downs today/tomorrow. If they aren't even considering that at this time that is great news that it is at least a week to week thing. Haven't heard anything about him lately so was starting to get concerned.

Also, Bennett... need ya here bud for at least two games. Hopefully nothing.

 

[Ram_Rally]

I don't think so.

This makes me even more frustrated with Alaric. Dunno what he did but not having him week one is huge.

 

[dpjax]

I don't think so.

So I guess it’s going to be Noteboom and McClendon week 1.
Let’s hope for the best

 

[majrleaged]

Fuck

 

[majrleaged]

I hope the game plan plays it safe. Got to keep Stafford clean.

 

[bubbaramfan]

After watching Noteboom in TC and McClenden in preseason games, I think both looked pretty good. McClenden is a brick wall and hard to get around. Ñoteboom looks in great shape, may not be much of a dropoff from Aleric. I trust they're both ready.

Sign Mike White...was cut by Miami. Played for LaFleur in NY. Has had a few 300 yrd passing games in the NFL and has won games. Bennett to PS.
