Yeah— Allen talks about Demby as well.Still think Kromer might go early in the draft !! He has a lot of feedback on the players The Rams draft.
First season with The Rams he stayed put to most of The Rams fans dismay of taking Everett & Johnson over not taking a O’lineman at all.
Last year was glad The Rams took Noteboom with there first draft pick especially because Kromer wanted him. Surprised The Rams took Allen with there 2nd draft pick,an undersized Center.
Seeing how Allen trains & seeing him in the Bears game gives me some comfort.Learning from Sullivan & getting the extra year without injuries was huge. Keeps him hungry & not overwhelmed.

I really like OL that do two things... wrestling and hockey.

The wrestling for obvious reasons, but hockey does wonders for a big man's balance and lower body fluidity.

Noteboom is gonna be HUGE. In his first year, I think the drop-off from Saffold will barely be noticeable. He'll have moments, but he'll also really surprise vets who think he's gonna be just some rook.

Allen's ALSO a former wrestler and is the youngest of three brothers, so he's no stranger to not wanting to back down from any challenge (as tends to be the case with the youngest brother). He won't have Sullivan's savvy, but I think he'll be better in the run game.

I think early on, the Rams will focus on RB by committee and run a LOT while the new guys get up to speed on pass pro, although based on last year, they really did well in spot relief.

It also is gonna be huge that those guys are gonna face AD all off-season which is by far the toughest interior assignment an OL can have. I mean, there won't be a game day harder than the full-contact practice...

I went to camp 3 years ago & AD was going against Jamal Brown one on one in drills. He wilted 3 times straight. I yelled something tonBrown as they switched drills moving in .

Just watched the Behind The Grid yesterday.You can see that athletic part went
Into the draft process. This TE from SDSU has a wrestling back ground as well which helps him become a good blocker.

Noteboom will not be as good as Saffold at guard imo.Think his future is at LT. Allen just they way he went to Arizona to train will be huge. Working on his strength & technique,especially that he now knows what the NFL is made of.

My bad !! Whiffed

Brown looked really bad. That has been his down size, notnquick with his feet. Demby actually looks more balanced, just needs to get more power. He has a little nasty steak that I like.

Just shows the DB’s are a solid group !!

The Rams need to bring in a young CB in from the draft early this season.

I like a couple of the guys on the squad though. Pleasant will coach them up.

My guess is Peters will stay a Ram.
