John Johnson Returning to Rams

[Loyal]

Panthers are not trading Burns. IMO, I would love Quinn first, but most likely, if the Rams make a move I believe it will be Melvin Ingram.

Is there anybody out there?

Melvin Ingram, but it might be better to wait for a younger vet that might get cut in the next few weeks. There are always a few solid vets that lose out to a number game.

Also, maybe a rookie that a team tries to stash on their PS might be better than what we have.

And this yr we are like 6th in line for waiver claims for young vets or rookies who get cut. An older vet gets an outright release.

How about all the other shit he has gotten wrong? Not rocket science to have 20 misses then promote your one hit.

100%! It's amazing how someone gets a few things right after how many years and all of a sudden they are a savant of the LA Rams?

Welcome back JJ3, I really don’t see how this can be anything but good. If the youngsters are smart they’ll watch and learn.

IMO this could signal a shift in scheme away from their customary Tampa Two zone scheme to more of a Quarters scheme as used by Staley. In that scheme the role of the FS is increased and his ability to read correctly is necessary due to his multiple coverage options. What this also means is if played correctly the coverage is man within a zone concept. It's why you don't want a rookie on the back end. If played correctly it would put an end to the uber soft coverages Morris normally plays. This also could be the result of Pleasant's influence. Remember Pleasant's last year with the Rams was as Staley's DB coach.

Again, I ask, what makes you think the Rams play Tampa Two?

 

[oldnotdead]

So Ram on more than one occasion Staley described his hybrid scheme it was basically a quarters zone with as some quarter zones are played with a man component.

Wade played both quarters when he played zone but he also played a lot of single high man coverage. So Pleasant knows both.

West Coast, Tampa Two is what Morris favors since his days in Tampa. But his version is uber soft. He concedes first downs to protect against the big play and often fails at that. It's why he often had Rapp with his limited speed in deep coverage as has been noted by others on this board. It's why Kendricks was deep when he gave his half hearted tackle attempt on Deebo. Morris often doesn't seem to care about the concept of scheme fit.

I want to start by saying that I really appreciate the passion you put into your posts on here... but I'm sorry, this is so incorrect I'm not even sure what to say anymore.

I love this move. There is no downside.

 

[LARAMSinFeb.]

JJ3 definitely brings some energy and smarts: https://www.therams.com/video/mic-d-up-john-johnson-washington

Is there any other kind??

Well... we see who are 5 safeties will be on the roster....

Glad JJ is back....

I love John Johnson but my concern is that the Rams may not have liked the guys they have in camp. I thought Quentin Lake and Russ Yeast were playing well and Fuller was almost assured to start. Perhaps not. Or maybe it was the depth behind those guys. All we know for sure is that Johnson will be starting.

It never hurts to have an older head on the field to help the younger guys.

Meh. You can like who you have and still see an opportunity for improvement - especially with a young unit.

 

[Merlin]

Lot of unknowns at safety. Fuller starting at one spot is a healthy assumption I think. But who is the other half of that pairing.

And then the depth. What happens if Fuller misses time again. What does that look like. Seems rather hideous to me from that perspective.

Safety has felt all along like a spot they should add to, either way. Like third corner was. So them adding to both is welcome even though I am not sure what either addition has left in the tank.

Sounds like a depth signing with possibility to start down the road. My guess, we got him on a cheap deal, he can help teach the kids and we weren't that impressed with the competition for 4th safety.

I expect Fuller and Yeast will still be your starters week 1 with Lake as dime-backer.

Then again, I didn't expect the JJ signing.

I'm thinking once he is caught-up and, assuming he's in shape, John Jonson is starting.

I think that's a fair assumption. I'd put my guess at 65/45.
