Bennie Skow and the Big 11

[Deac]

Correct, Was early 80s to early 90s, Mike Guman was primary player in that position, was known as the H-Back.

Seems like we're getting ahead of ourselves.

He'll look good in a gold jacket....

What about AB ?
Ocho cinco wore one on a Monday night game.Thursday?? To start a NFL season
AB took off his uniform.

BTW - does Ben Sko’s older brother #10 get in the Hall. I’ll give #18 a free pass to visit & the benefit from learning from him,Robert Woods, and for a few more games with OBj.

Someone talked about Van Jefferson bringing the ball into & off his body.Just frustrating when he misses a pass he should have caught.

Add I was a Johnathan Taylor fan.Would have tried to trade up
with KC to draft him & get the extra 5th year option.I thought Lewis,Cam, & Van were to steep of a price though. I like The Rams draft pick & think the future is bright for all 3 players.Year 3 & 4 they should all be playing at a High level.
HENDO catches the ball so much better than Sony & like Robert Woods would have liked to have the Depth of all healthy Rams. Ben Sko is a benifit. His blocking is excellent.

Go back to Training Camp I quoted many times how good I thought he would be. Then again everyone was talking about Jacob Harris who Sko is tight with. Greg Gaines was that 4th rd pick,but nice to see 7th rd picks play at such a high level.

THANKS LES ram fans - lmao

Hedgehodge !! I mean DNA rifle!! Madison is where he should have went to school.

Leonard? Brian -

Wonder who knew much about Holcomb before he was converted?
Tom Nutten was like Austin Blythe,just glad The Rams took time to keep drafting OLineman.Mad Mike
should have known that. He did find Fitzmagic though.1 pick before HedgeCock !! Ask Eli how he felt having that dude paving the way from Madison Square Garden to the Meadow Lands ?

 

[Ellard80]

i think he is playing a lot now because of his size and blocking ability.

Hoomanawanna vs KlopIN stein?

Lance Kendricks?? Higbee kicked some dudes butt & had a serious life lesson.

That TE from Gerald Everett’s draft class was a guy I liked. E Engram was a guy I thought would be that Reed type TE Mcvay would like. Les trades back & gets the extra pick 3rd rd 91.
Takes Everett before Kupp which I thought TE was the choice.Then Kupp was there at 61 3rd rd pick.
I liked George Kittle though. John Johnson was the pick at 91 who was a Wade Phillips guy.

Anyways funny how things workout.I think Les Snead knows the value of DRAFT boards better than almost anyone most of the time.

I’ve always had a good value chart of players I like(circle) each draft.I do better than most,but always appreciate The Rams process under McSnead. They develop & draft(find) players in ways I never imagined could be done.

Just thankful & like the development & Comp picks of players. Demoff always pays the players.

Personally, I'd like him more as a TE who can block and occasionally catch. He can take Hopkin's place in the TE rotation. Benny sometimes looks slow but if he was playing TE he would be fast enough. Don't forget he's fast enough to play as a gunner on punts and on KOs. I've liked him from the beginning. He's the kind of utility player every team needs. Good STs player, decent possession receiver, and willing blocker, you can't ask for more. It really wouldn't surprise me to see him training with the TE in TC.

This would allow McVay to use Harris and his size and speed to play in rotation out of the Z & Y receiver positions. Harris would be a total mismatch for most DBs. He's 6'5" (2 inches taller than DK Metcalf) and timed at 4.39 on his pro-day.

The Rams are going to look totally different next year. I'm expecting good things from not only Benny Skow, but also Harris and Rochell.

Skow will keep being a WR because that's what he is.. .a WR.

The matchups you want to create are already there in him at that position with his size and physicality... he has a mismatch in the run game against DBs and he's fast enough and good enough to run routes.

Skow is a much more complete football player than Harris. I hope Harris recovers and can become a weapon, but he's more project than player.

Skow's already a player.

I think for where we got him Skow has been a fine pick so far. To be impacting the game as a rook in the pattern when you get selected that late, it's not easy to do. Especially on this team.

In projecting him I agree with dieter that his future may be at TE. There is a need at the position on the roster with Harris going to WR next year in camp. And even if they take a TE in the draft he will need time to develop. I also don't think Skow would have a problem with the occasional OLB or crackdown blocking assignment either, the way our WRs block anyway most of them are in good shape in that part of their game.

Either way I appreciate Skow's game. He's big and knows how to use his size and has dependable hands. Good fit for a QB like ours. Would not surprise me if the kid has some clutch catches for us in the playoffs for those reasons. This is the time of year one would hope the 2nd round pick would be asserting himself. So it's a nice consolation to see Skow showing us a little something and he has a chance to be a contributor in the playoffs as a rook late round receiver how cool is that.
