Official Rams Cuts and Practice Squad Thread

[pmil66]

39 players were claimed off waivers today, 39 more went on waivers. Rams can still make a roster move or 2. Odd to have 3 QB's on the 53 and one on the practice squad.

Kind of surprised only one OLine and I don't remember him playing tackle.

Your memories are correct. Pure LG/RG in pre season. We may see a OT added later. I would suspect that DT Tanzel Smart will be added to PS instead, when AD is activated.

I see a problem coming for the near upcoming future. When Aaron Donald comes off the exempt status, when Jamon Brown comes off the suspension list, and when Ogbonnia Okoronkwo and Ryan Davis comes off the injured reserve list, the players who will be cut to make room for them, we, as in fans were thinking we could just put them on the practice squad.

Not so fast my friends. For when you look at the type of person we'd be cutting they would generally be considered better than any player that we've cut so far. The problem? They are more likely to being picked up by another team before they can ever reach our practice squad. So now, think which four players you'd be willing to get rid of, because that may be exactly what we'd be doing.

I wouldn't be surprised if we hid Obo on IR all year.

Easy, Jamon Brown, Isaiah Johnson, Justin Davis and Brandon Allen.

Now let's hope nobody else picks him up for there 53.

Sorry but, not so easy. Every one here considers Jamon a weak link of the Oline, but his statistics don't agree. Someone here on ROD a few weeks back quoted a story that showed how the right side of the Oline was rated 4th last year and that Jamon was considered to be the 15th rated player in the NFL at the guard spot. So unless you can show by statistics that Jamon wasn't good, I'm going to believe the facts that have already been made clear. And I would cut Tanzel instead of Jamon.
As bad as Mannion is I pray we keep Allen, because at least he can run for his life instead of being killed when the pocket collapses.
Malcolm Brown has not been effective at all this year, so I'd rather keep Davis and cut Brown.
Isaiah Johnson, I still can't figure out why we haven't already cut him, so yes say goodbye to him

After the fifth week of the season, he was the #1 pass blocking guard in the NFL.

So, to say he came on is a tremendous understatement.

He really wasn't with the team that long. Didn't he only start practicing with the team a couple of weeks before preseason?

He's already on our PS we'd have the ability to activate him to the 53 if they really wanted him and somebody tried to claim him.

Dumb Question (I have a lot of them!)! Let’s say the 49’s offered Hodge a spot on their 53 roster would the Rams be able to block that if they put him on their 53 roster or would that be up to Hodge where he went or would he have to go to the 49’s since they made the original offer? I really like Hodge and am hoping he eventually makes the Rams regular roster!

He's my favorite HC of all time, passing Tommy Lasorda of the Dodgers.

I swear, we could be playing the University of the Immaculate Word (an actual college with a football program) and McVay would be paying respect to the opposing HC and recognizing the team as an opponent to be respected.

Sure, it'd be 70-0 within minutes, but that's not the point.

I don't think this Raider team short of a few slight wrinkles is going to do anything revolutionary to catch the Rams' coaches by surprise, but McVay's not taking any chances.

I bet by next Monday night, McVay's eyes are so red from lack of sleep due to constant study and work that he looks high af.

My understanding, which is perfectly capable of being wrong, is that we could but we'd have to put him on our 53 man to do so.

but don't they have to be on their active roster for at least 3 weeks after they sign them?
