“Hope you can fit it into your schedule”, Merlin? HOPE?
“Hope” is not a strategy! You need to readjust your damned schedule, man!
Camp reports are Job One in the summer and all else must take a back seat. Your board needs you out there.
Family, job, etc, simply must take a back seat until the Rams break camp. It’s only a few weeks, dammit. They’ll understand. Lol.
Jamil Demby was a very raw talent from a smaller school last year. PLayed LT not much else. Kromer tired to work JD in four posts in TC. In preseason we saw JD line up & play in 3 posts. His best gameplay came @ LT IMO. JD's RT work was not good nor was his RG snaps. HIs best post in the NFL should be @ Left OG where Saffold played. It will be exciting for me to view his progression from last season to now.
JD best chance to start with the Rams is to beat out starting RG
Austin Blythe. JD will find it hard to beat out
Joe Noteboom @ starting LG. I would hope that JD can get much better & win a starting post. If Kromer two best starting OG's in TC & preseason were Demby & Noteboom then things would fall in place for the future. JD is under a low-cost contract & should be here until 2022 when he will be a UFA. That gives us 3 seasons of his services.
Austin Blythe's contract with the Rams ends when this season is over. The NASTY
uke: SB memory is still burnt into my mind. He was destroyed by the very average interior Pats DL. He was just too light & was tossed around with very little effort. Blythe also needs to work on keeping his mouth shut. His
confidentiality skills are.
AB earlier ran his mouth in a playoff press conference on how the Dallas DL gave tips as to what they were doing.....then some real dummy called Bill & his Pats turned it around & did the same to the Rams Offense. Thanks, Austin:sadwalk:
Austin Blythe would be an outstanding
Active Game Day Reserve [AGDR] in 2019. He has started in the NFL @ RT/ RG/ LG & center. AB would give Kromer something too It would make the
6th Ram OL position stronger. The 2nd [AGDR] would need to be the best LT reserve so Noteboom would not need to be moved out of his starting OG post. Who that will be ??
Evans/
Edwards or
Kaskey?
This may be interesting for us ...Kromer brought back last years TC/Preseason OG
Jeremiah Kolone. He was released @ the end of the preseason but went on to play for Mike Martz pass happy offense SD Fleet. Kolone was thrown into the starting center post this season.
Kolone, as it would turn out, was a fantastic pass blocker & led the country with a pass-blocking efficiency of 99.7 while only allowing one pressure in 244 attempts. He was well-known for his pass-blocking abilities and relies on technique rather than power against pass rushers & played on the left side to protect the blind side in college. He was listed as an OT but never played OT in college. Kromer thought he was an OG. Now after the season with the Fleet, Kolone has demonstrated his ability to play all three interior positions is very appealing and is especially attractive to Kromer who is looking for some experience for back up center position.
