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.

can I swap out the Fireball with tequila?

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.

 

[muggmeister]

can I swap out the Fireball with tequila?

Absolutely

 

[So Ram]

Absolutely

Add absolute ,but I’d say FOR SURE.

Davonte Adams will give Matthew Stafford a greater passing(radius) lane by FAR on 3RD down than Kupp(Wood) would.

Adding even back in the day,Mcvay would have to run Jet Sweeps & both Bobby(Robert Wood) Trees had to block well.

I’ll say that I’ve seen Cooper Kupp up close & he makes some of the best CUTS in The NFL.The thing is Adams is 2 inches taller & has hops to start. Then you go to SPEED (add that to bong hits) & health over the years.

Just saying The Rams are putting there money (Adams) where there mouth is(Puka). When your talking 10 yards & moving the chains with what The Rams have on offense NOW!!

Plus don’t want to take away from Cooper Kupp,but it should open Ram Fans eyes(has) that when a TEAM Cuts a boarder line HOF player,who won a triple crown & MVP of a Super Bowl for them.It isn’t taken lightly.

 

[So Ram]

BTW - moving in from Goff & even not giving him The Starting Job after a Playoff Season.

This takes BALLS,it’s the hardest part of the game to have to make HARSH DECISIONS over players(peoples) LIFE’S!!

The Rams have SO much depth that come Labor Day,Mcvay might be losing some more of he’s hair line.

-Now is that a first as well ? Talking about Mcvay’s Hair Line!! He is almost 40 years old (39).His 9th season with The Rams.

Help me out here, @So Ram I know it’s early in the morning. I woke up and couldn’t sleep, and I don’t speak SoRam. Are YOU taking the bong hit in this rambling creed? Just askin’. I gave it my best shot. Cuz, somewhere in there I know there is a point. And I see you have a passion for the Rams.

It seems to be a stream of consciousness. And I do see some things you are saying. I am excited to see Davonte play this year, too, brother. How cool you’ve been able to attend camp! Cheers

Thanks Bro for the sincerity-

Just a ramble of different things at different times.There’s a lot that goes into my head.I explain some things in a weird way.Some of it is underneath that I might not even understand at the end of the day.

Take it for what it’s worth. Not much sometimes.Then again there might be a message.

Appreciate your posting. It should be a Fun season.Think I might be a little ampt up for the season.
Only went to the cowboys scrimmage.Seen a lot of YouTube videos (photos) & opinions .

If look at last season (please don’t) you’ll see my negativity of Sean Mcvay, SO there’s that.

This 2025 season is SO different,I could be wrong about things.

Having Shelton,Reeder,Ahkello back is huge.I’m just saying that
as core Leaders who add SO much to the locker room.The character & team.Mcvay always talks greatest team sport.

I can go on about all the players.The young players doing it the right way is what it’s all about as a franchise.The talent is there and my point is if those 3 players don’t start,they’ll only help make everybody better,but be ready in case.
