He could be right back with us soon enough.

Detroit has not been able to develop O lineman.
They might release him.

Kromer HAS been able to develop lineman.
This may not even be over.

Horrible move! We just lost the best 6th round guard ever! Burn it down. /s

Horrible move. Demby had potential, which is more than you can say for Brandon Allen or Isaiah Johnson.

If Demby had potential he didn't show it with the Rams. And if Kromer didn't mind cutting him, then he too doubted Demby, and that's good enough for me.

Or they did. They thought they'd sneak him on the PS because they wanted Johnson on the squad for Week 1. The Lions surprised them by claiming him. Snead and co. are great, but they're not perfect.

Well if the Ram's brass thinks winning this game by adding Johnson for the week is worth the risk of losing Demby to the Lions, it's not a screw up

So you don't know what to think other than to criticize those that wanted to keep Demby? I trust McVay, Wade, Bones and Kromer. Doesn't change the fact I as a fan think they should have kept Demby over a safety that in three previous season hasn't us a lot and looked bad most of the time we saw him in this preseason.
 
The Detroit Lions? Didn't Greg Robinson go there after being cut by the Rams? And now isn't Demby going to the Lions after being cut by the Rams? So far this doesn't bode well for Demby.

It is if they thought they weren't going to lose him and wanted to keep him.

Isaiah Johnson? I doubt it, he's been released multiple times and has been PS material since he went undrafted in 2015. Demby, otoh, was just drafted this year and showed starter potential in limited playing time so far.

I still don't understand.

STARTER ??? Dude got cut !!

He has a good motor & size. I’ll give him credit
for being able to learn multiple positions.Inwas never big on him & thought Williams would make it over him. In fact if somebody gets hurt,look for The Rams to pick Williams up off waivers.

The only one here criticizing is you. All I did is ask a question. If you got angered by this move don't take it out on me. This is a board where we discuss things. All I was doing is asking if anyone knew if the Rams planned on signing him to the PS. Now please tell me how is that is criticizing?
 
OldSchool said:
It's comical the people being so sarcastic because some of us wanted Demby on the team to develop instead of a safety who has show less in more years in the league.

I thought /s meant serious. Worst move in team history. Even above letting Fletcher walk.

Why would they honestly think that ? He does have the tools & The Rams Offensive Line is one of the best in the NFL.

One thing you know about Demby. The Rams gave him a lot of film for other teams to view.

It's reasonable belief considering when they waived him. There was obviously gamesmanship there. I think they gambled and lost. It is what it is. It won't make or break us. There are some OLs I like still on the market. But I am disappointed. Demby is a big boy with country strength. He was a small school LT. Kromer has had success developing guys like him in the past. I don't think our intention was for him to be claimed.

Either he has talent or he doesn’t. Kromer can develop other players as well.Hiw good Demby becomes is on him.
I think you can’t teach loss feet. He tries hard, but talent level isn’t the best.
I saw Kromer Jr. Working one on one with him, trying to teach him to keep his hands in & seal his blocks.I thought he was a good draft pick, but Jamon Brown will be back soon anyway.
