NFL Network at the Rams scrimmage today

[So Ram]

I think X Smith is going to make the team, sounds like he really improved this offseason.

The numbers are going to be tight.


Then Covey is GONE ? Konata is going to make the 53 as well.He’ll make an impact on special teams.

Xavier Smiths only chance is as a returner

 

[WestCoastRam]

It makes me sad to say, but upgrading from Cooper Kupp to Davante Adams appears to be a pretty big leap.

With Kupp being a shadow of his former self and a lot of cross over between what Kupp and Puka can do, the offense can take a major leap forward from last year having a guy who regularly can win from X (while also offering slot versatility).

Think Odell in the playoffs in this offense and what that did for this offense.

I love Konata at WR but... umm... what makes you think he'll make an impact on ST? Has he been getting good reviews there?

 

[LARAMSinFeb.]

The only thing I wonder about is will we miss Kupp’s selfless, hard nosed run blocking? I haven’t heard much about Tae’s blocking game.

Well I saw him on punt return team & shows up.Kept having to look at my roster of who #15 is.

There are some numbers that are new.He is fast & looks strong.

When he first signed with The Rams he said in 2025 he’ll make his name on special teams while try to get WR reps. -I believe that’s a given just seeing him trying to block a punt,or blocking on coverage.
—The Rams(Cowboys) would switch different groups in & out giving each group a couple Reps. Like I said Konata stood out from all those groups.

Punter return - The Rams returners had the sun in there face.
Stoops
Xavier
Covey
all took a couple punts.SO imo those are the 2 battling it out for 1 spot. —Stoops will be placed on practice squad after his suspension.

WTF ? Really ?

The Rams are loaded at TE. That’s when you’ll need run blocking.

Joking - but in away the difference will be really noticeable.

Maybe the reason Kupp blocks SO well is because he can’t get of the Line of Scrimmage.

BTW - when was that really ever a thing. A WR blocking well. I get the willing blocker BOBBY TREES is how Kupp became SO good.

Tavon Austin was a Rams WR Kupp’s first season & he was that jet sweep guy.Plus he was in the backfield.

Never going to take anything away from Kupp,but please try to appreciate Davonte Adams.He is going to be a difference maker.

Puka is a solid run blocker ,but really don’t want to see him run blocking much either.

I somehow, someway, almost think I agree with some of this, still not sure. Might be time to attempt and re-read after a bong hit. Damn, still not sure, I think so? Joking aside, I do agree that it seems we will have a very strong TE group this year. Higbee and Parkinson will hold down the fort until Ferguson gets completely up to speed and hopefully be a major factor from mid-season on.

 

[RecklessRams]

Our secondary will be fine. I'd bet our Rams defense ends up in the top 5 this season.

first time I ever heard someone say Kupp couldn't get  off the L.O.S

Take with a grain of salt, shot of Fireball, fat blunt and a Miller Lite and it makes sense.

Don’t forget about Davis Allen,and what a mentor Tyler Higbee is to The Rams & especially the TE group.
Anyone watching last season saw that.Why Davis Allen actually took a step back imo was confidence,injured,and even without Higbee around the 1st half of the season.

Watched games from last season & Parkisan made some clutch plays.He was an above average blocker,not ask to do much.
Ferguson is going to be a beast in his own way.
Won’t get ahead of myself ,but I believe we will be surprised with this Rams offense this season.

 

[DzRams]

No. But you can add the tequila to the Fireball. The more, the better to make sense of Kupp not getting of the LOS.

Absolutely
