Jeremy Fowler on Camp (Via Blaine)

[PhillyRam]

Agreed. There is a good chance he can be a long term backup for the Rams, but absolutely no chance he can become their starting QB. Too many physical limitations and you cant teach height

Not even all about height. If he was 5-11 and 215 lbs, maybe he could be the guy if he was very talented. Like a young Russ... However he is 26 yrs old and still only 195 lbs.

I like Howell, but he is under contract with Seattle for the next 2 years and may very well take over the #1 spot this season

I like Howell as well, he reminds me a little of Cousins. He may just need coaching and time

The younger Manning is way overrated. His name is his biggest calling card. Similar in a way to Lebrons kid - name sells.

Thanks for this. More detail than what I have been able to find thus far. Good he was in uniform. Makes me wonder/hope if it is just a bruise or contusion and they were playing it cautious/icing to keep down swelling. A bad bruise can keep you out weeks. I think LaPorta in Detroit had a bad bruise hold him out of action towards the end of last year or maybe it was in the playoffs before he returned just in time to play the Rams, which it seems is what every player does. But nothing to worry about long-term.

I guess our depth at tackle isn't so good after all. Hopefully these guys can improve and get better after the preseason games. We definitely need our Oline to stay healthy.

I'm not sure that's fair to the kid. He's unproven but also hasn't had the opportunity to be the guy. Think we'll have to wait til he starts to find out if he's worth the hype.

I dislike Noteboom as a starter, and really dislike him as a starter at his pay rate. But at this point, it's a sunk cost. I love him as a first-off-the-bench option! We could definitely use some more depth on the o-line though. Other than Noteboom, it is a bunch of unknowns. Bruss has pedigree. Whatever that is worth. But was apparently awful in what limited action he saw before his injury asa rookie.

normally I would agree with you but it sounds like both Noteboom and McClendon got abused in the joint practice vs the Chargers. I'm going to start praying that our Oline starters get healthy fast because I'm afraid the backups are going to get Stafford killed.

Note doesn’t exude confidence but is skilled enough to fill in if needed. Against better competition he will likely struggle but I believe he can hold his own against average competition. I just don’t ever want to count on him for extended periods of time because of his injury history. Keeping a close eye on Ajax.

We should have upped the offer for Howell, he didn't cost much at all.

 

[Ramstien]

Noteboom should be fine as long as you give him some help over there, just please don't leave him on an island.

Noteboom is enough of a known commodity that he shouldn't be cause for concern. The Chargers have some elite pass rushers and he's always struggled in pass pro against that type. Otherwise, he's generally solid, but not spectacular, in pass pro and run blocking. He's adequate not to get Stafford killed, but won't be a huge asset. That's what we'll see.

McClendon is cause for concern because he's an unknown. Hopefully, we don't have two tackles missing at the same time during the season. I expect Noteboom would be the first backup for both sides if only one starting OT is missing.

 

[Merlin]

Yes. But it is important to note that when you do that a defender who should be handled otherwise by that TE is now freed up to tee off on someone.

Weakness at any one spot thus can result in a bit of an avalanche effect, particularly with protections. Because now maybe that defender starts looping inside to an interior gap on the rush and your OL is blocking more than they can handle. Or he's dropping deep and increasing hazard for throws.

 

[PARAM]

One thing that I have been annoyed about in their use of Tutu is that he hasn't played a down in the preseason since the rookie season.

He needs all the work he can get imho. If he was a starter, then yeah sit him.

But he plays only a small percentage of plays so far in his career.

From midway in 2022 through last year (prior to the last 5 weeks) he's played significant snaps (50% +) including a dozen games with well over 70% of the snaps. I think he has experience enough to not risk injury in preseason. They obviously feel the same way.

He’s get good reps,he always seems to fit at RG for some reason.

Having him on an Island sort of exposes him,but he needs the work & will build confidence.He’s solid & The Rams IMO next season looked to address LT.Where they draft,who’s available,ect ext..
