Jaylen MCCOLLOUGH leads LA Rams in interceptions

[99Balloons]

Jaylen McCollough just got called up and in two games he leads the Rams with three interceptions. During the preseason, you could see that he was making crucial plays.

What was McVay or Shula saw in the other guy, TreWhite, besides the huge FA contract to have him be the starter?

In a word, experience.

2024 Tony Jefferson? All kidding aside, he’s always right by the ball. Keeper

Experience or not, after TreWhite got torched so many times, it would not be surprising that he gets cut during the season.

We took a chance on a player with an all pro background coming off an injury. Later we signed Darious Williams. Why do you think we did that?
Maybe because our CB room was lacking without them?
Hindsight is 20-20.
Get over yourself. Sometimes moves work out and sometimes they don't. I'd be a lot more upset if they didn't try to upgrade a below average position group and you probably would be too.

 

[Jacobarch]

Eh his interceptions are really because he was in the right place at the right time. I don't see him making the plays you see top corners making. I'll take the INTs and all but I don't think he's the answer at cb long term

Well, McCollough made the 53-man roster out of the pre-season; and I think he has been a game-day active for at least five of the six games. He has gotten more snaps in recent weeks since John Johnson went down, and Kam Kinchens had his snaps reduced to almost zero.

Kameron Curl, Quentin Lake and Jaylen McCollough have been getting the snaps at safety.

Tre'Davious White's snaps at outside cornerback have mostly been taken by the return of Darious Williams and Ahkello Witherspoon.

Finally, rookie cornerback Josh Wallace has seen increased playing time, mostly at slot-corner, in recent weeks.

Great hands , for sure, but it's been a bit right place/right time, hasn't it ?

McCollough is a safety. He's has not been playing cornerback.

Being in the right place at the right time is a big part of playing good defence, it is foolish to discount that. How many times have players in our secondary not even been remotely close to the football, like in a different zip code entirely?! Small sample size, but full credit to him for being there. We could use way more of that.

I'm just happy to see a Ram DB in "the right place".

He's a safety who can do a little covering for you. Being in the right place at the right time is a big part of the job.

Haha whoops

 

[Merlin]

Looked up his forty time of 4.74 which isn't very good but he looks to me like one of those guys who makes up for his speed with some instincts. Anyway just wanted to say how nice it is to see these guys who just step up and take care of business on game day and I hope it continues.

His split time is probably why he is always at the right place right time to make crucial plays. Split time is sometimes overlooked.

Not discounting it at all & encouraged by the secondary's play overall, for sure. Still, pretty depleted WR group for LV so the best you can probably say is they avoided the massive zip code violations of the GB game. Baby steps.

Hands, wheels, and making the plays that come to him are great traits in a young DB, but let's not get all JackRabbit 2.0 about the guy & set false expectations is all I'm sayin'. Remember when Fuller had a similar mini-streak in his rookie year ?

 

[TexasRam]

How different does our secondary look now compared to a few weeks ago.

 

[OnceARam]

High in the state AWARENESS. This is something Durant is good with too. Unfortunately both guys have their physical limitations.

But we all know about physical limitations...

Way to explain it & was nice about it.You make an excellent point on JJ being hurt.

Plus I’ll add that Experience &. Veteran leadership from White & D’ Williams.

I’ll vent once again though about not resigning Whiterspoon when JJ was resigned. IMO Kinchen must not have looked all the great in OTA’s ? The Rams were hoping White & Williams were both going to be healthy???

However it is being broke down it will be a good thing all around for the development of this group.
BTW - Kam Curl was such a steal.
