Currently our best Corner
Trumaine Johnson has been slowed by an high ankle sprain & has a serious limp & hitch in his back peddle....he is far from being 100% then
EJ Gaines has been mostly picked on since he entered back into a starting post after being IR'd for the entire 2015 season...lets just be kind & say he is not close to being the same corner as he was in 2014. EJ has been playing the Nickle with all the Joyner injuries. Fact is Gaines plays the Nickle
pass coverage much better than Joyner but EJ's outside coverage has come up short on many occasions.
Our reserve corner
Lamarcus Joyner has had nagging injuries all season as of late he has been fighting through a very sore back & now to add to that he has a bad ankle that has limited him all week. I would have bet that LJ would have seen very little Nickle action this week if this Hill incident had not occurred.
Now onto the nasty topic ....our first season corner
Troy Hill who was UDFA last draft due to a serious bad boy complex & continue his ongoing NCAA issues as Hill burnt through several other AFC teams due to issues before coming home to the LA area late last season. Rams picked up Hill & he had stuck to the Rams until this last incident. Now Hill is back in some serious
with a DUI. Hill now will help :neener:his Rams teammates by viewing this game in a T-shirt, shorts & flops ....BRILLIANT!
Now its up to rookie & wavier wire pick ups DB
Marqui Christian who was drafted by AZ on the third day of this past draft to fill the vast area void by the four above top Ram corners. Christian has been active for 6 Ram games thus far but has seen very little action on the defense. Fisher has brought up the ex Jag
Dwayne Gratz who has been in the NFL since 2013 but has a serious negative resume with benching's & injuries compared to 15 yr WWC's.
Bottom line here is this Fisher Ram team is in big need of some CB help in this 2017 Draft, but with no selections on day one & only 1 selection on day two its going to be more of what we have seen this season with third day draft action with a heavy dose of WWC's & UDFA's for another year
