PFF was high on him as well for his performance saturday, and for what he did last year.

The Rams have a good eye for defensive line talent.

Trade him to Dallas, get a pick and give Seau his spot. Or vice versa.

I like the way you think, BUT!! I really hate the Cowboy's and I don't want to do them any Favors!!

Simply the first team that came to mind that really needs DE/Rusher help.

 

[StealYoGurley]

I say keep him. Sims and Hayes are both over 30, Quinn is coming off of major back surgery, Westbrooks is an RFA this year, and Coples has played exclusively at DT in his game action so far. You can never have enough quality pass rushers and Longacre could definitely be one.

He played well...So did Seau...And so did Westbrooks.....

From PFF:

Biggest winners
1. Rams’ defensive line

The rich get richer. The Rams already figure to have one of the best defensive lines in the NFL, with the three-stud combo of Aaron Donald, Robert Quinn, and Michael Brockers alone. That’s why when a second-year undrafted rookie from Northwest Missouri puts on a clinic in the first half against Dallas, some eyes start to open. In fact, DE Matt Longacre collected the highest pass-rushing grade and run-defense grade of any NFL edge defender in Week 1 of the preseason. In 36 snaps, he recorded two hits and three hurries.

I really like ML. No way I'd deal him, for one because I'm not sure he's peaked but also because he has a history through college of showing up on key downs which is something coaches can't teach. But he's tough and a very hard worker and guys like that are just immensely valuable to have on a depth chart.

PFF also had high grades for Longacre last season in the few regular season snaps he got.

If it's a competition bewteen Westbrooks and Longacre...I say Longacre. When ever Matt gets playing time he has produced.

I agree. You can't teach clutch. In any sport. It's an adrenaline burst. An internal dialing up of the way God wired men to fight in a crisis. Some guys shut down. Others thrive.

I'm reminded of our Super Bowl XXXIV victory. On the final drive, Kevin Carter came running off the field at one point, winded. And Vermeil looks at him, astonished, "What are you doing? There is a minute to play, this is the Super Bowl!"

I know McNair was running them ragged, and it's probably not fair, but I lost a little respect for Carter after that.

He's always around the ball. I think he might be the best undrafted DE Snisher has found yet and I like Rivers, Westy, Seau and even Sam was ok I thought. I think Longacre is better than Sims right now. If Seau plays like that again, Westbrooks is in trouble.

I highly doubt that Seau overtakes Westbrook.

 

[DR RAM]

He had a really good first game. I love this guy.

 

[den-the-coach]

He had a really good first game. I love this guy.

Kid brought it on every play and was responsible for many passes going awry.

 

[BonifayRam]

I am much more impressed by young DE's Longacre & Westbrooks than I am of Eugene Sims. I still can not get over Sims poor last yrs performance.

Then throw in Quick too. That will off set the deal, right? Spruce had a half that BQ hasn't been able to pull off since he's been here.:boxing::argue:

 

[Ramzee]

Not surprised. He's been doing this at camp...

Acording to 3k's "snap count" thread, Longacre didn't play one snap.
