8 Rams veterans on the roster bubble in camp

[Soul Surfer]

We definitely need Polite to step up in camp and show whatever he was supposed to show when he was drafted.

All the other players listed, I don't really expect to make it.

Yeah he'd be a bottom end G at 305 6'1 32 inch arm lengh nd limited athletic ability.

Pure and simple, he's a try hard player, that plays every down but is limited in a few important area's.

He stays at C or backup center, other than that, can't see it.Jmho

I'm not ready to give up on Allen Webster or Polite. It wouldn't bother me to move on from the others. I find Webster interesting and I like the speed he showed on ST last year. Hoping Allen and Polite can contribute to the team and the depth is important.

Imho O Line guys are especially hard to grade early no matter where they are drafted.

They can look bad, I mean real bad, THEN all of a sudden Bang they hit. Jmho

Whit is amazing, 38 and a starting LT, who else has done that,especially at his level.

A player that could play LT at Whits level is a never happens in the NFL. He's a freak but a Great 1.

Who can?
none other than past Ram great Jackie Slater

I love Slater, he was AWESOME but if memory serves me correctly, he was A RT.

Yeah I've liked Web since day one. Reason I like him is he's a smart player. The guy never looked confused lining up, had sure hands and seemed to be in the right spot, and he was a teams addition too. He'll be tough to knock off the roster in that wideout group for those reasons.

Kupp, Woody, JRey, and Jefferson are locks (barring something like a trade). So the competition will be 1 or 2 spots. Here's the chart as I see it at least:

Kupp (big possession option)
Woody (swiss army knife)
JRey (highpoint and redzone type wideout)
Jefferson (big possession option)
----------------------
Web (smart depth who helps on teams)
Jackson / Edwards / Koski / Winston

Of those bottom end options having return ability is going to matter IMO. That means I'd favor Edwards and Jackson for that final spot. Koski can do that btw but he's going to look like Web doing it (not a lot of wiggle).

I hope like hell that happens with Allen. That would be absolutely fantastic.

Highly drafted players, at certain positions. humm.

Almost all rooks need a 1st 2 years imho

Imho TE is the hardest , then you've got line guys on both sides of the ball that need strength leverage techniques etc etc.

I don't feel sorry for Qbs,they get a system built around them if they are starter and Wrs, should have gone to a school that teaches routes.

But over and over an O Lineman comes thru, Not At LT but the other 4 spots jmho

Jackie Slater?

Jackie Slater?

Jackie was a RT,

 

[Merlin]

Fair take. But I'll point out that under Fish the special teams call was absolute for the bottom roster spots. With McVay the final cuts have been a mix of both upside and teams. So I don't think they're going to stack the bottom roster for teams only.

Only caveat in all that is the difference in those bottom types is so slight that if one of them does make an impact on teams it's going to matter. I wouldn't want to be the guy who doesn't play teams, basically.

When this Ram team will have the very good chance that they will lose three of their talented receivers off this roster (Kupp/ Everett/ Reynolds) after this season due to being UFA's...........then add in that Woods contract is up at the end of the 2021 season.............


Rams should be searching for future replacements for the above four potential losses not concentrating on a pure PR/KR prospect from a receiver roster positions. Best be developing true future Ram starting receiver prospects filling these 2020 5th & 6th 2020 receiver roster position slots.

TIL there’s a new definition of veteran.
