Peterson promoted from Practice Squad

[den-the-coach]

So is Gaines.

Did you watch any of the Bills Charger game last week? Gaines was covering Keenan Allen just for your own edification.

Let's be up front here, usually when you are putting the roster together the last CB, which Hatfield is, it's going to be based on you special teams play and IMO, that is how Hatfield made the squad and when Peterson was activated, he was beaten for a TD too, although not as bad as Hatfield.

CB depth was a concern from day one and combine that with the lack of durability of Webster & Coleman and all of us have been very nervous, BTW, Troy Hill also has been MIA too often. Next season if the Rams lose Johnson, look for them to sign one (Malcolm Butler) and draft maybe two CB's as they restock the cupboard.

 

[Ramstien]

After free agency, we will have a better idea how to address this position in the draft. Tru may decide to stay now that the Rams are finally winning and the Rams give him a reasonable deal. Both parties have to want each-other enough to give a little.

 

[Soul Surfer]

Troy Hill is supposed to be back too.

I never thought that I would be so happy the Troy Hill is back.

Please.... please, no more Hatfield. The guy is not ready for primetime.

 

[Tailback]

Sign Mannion to an extension. Teach him up this off season, showcase him next pre-season, trade for defensive needs remaining post draft.

Last off season was dedicated to fixing the horrific offense. This coming offseason should be dedicated to signing crucial players, shoring up the defense with Wade style players, and building needed depth on both sides of the ball.

I concur, feel bad for Hatfield, but not as bad as he made me feel last week.

Mundt was waived earlier in the week.

This is the 2nd time this season they have brought Peterson up from the PS! It's understandable considering our Dinged-up secondary!

Trying to cover him?

 

[den-the-coach]

Trying to cover him?

Yes, that is far more accurate.

 

[Soul Surfer]

Trying to cover him? (Keenan Allen)

Did you see Allen burn Janoris Jenkins last night with that inside/outside move?
Roasted and toasted.

 

[DaveFan'51]

I wanted us to Draft Allen when he came out! I for get who we took instead, I know it was a good pick, it's just my Old memory failing me!!
We had a choice of 3 good WR's as I recall!

If Mannion shows enough, we might be able to trade him to a team that's willing to bring him in to compete to start.

I'd trade him for nothing lower than a mid 2nd. QBs that can play and not look like dirty ass are in short supply.

Btw, does anyone remember Austin Davis having 300 yd games in Fisher's offense? How baller does THAT look now???

Anyway, just ask the Vikes. You NEED a solid, competent backup in the NFL.

To paraphrase a comedian I just saw, having a competent backup QB in the NFL is like using a condom with a stranger. Not having a competent backup QB in the NFL is like rawdogging a hooker...feels great to get picks or have other players, but you're really rolling the dice that something could "end your season"...

 

[pmil66]

Sure seems that teams can never have enough depth at the CB spot. Need to draft one every year.

 

[PhillyRam]

I would guess this will be a heavy defensive draft. Hopefully they can move down a few spots here and there and come up with another top 100 pick and maybe deal someone for a good pick.

need 2 CBs, OLB, ILB, DL... sone could be FA moves, but they do need a shot of youth on D.

Maybe bolster the OL again in FA with another Groy type move that hopefully works out this time.

Skill position-wise tgey should be good on offense, just need to continue to develop some young players.

that's some kind of feat considering the chargers played the cowboys.

i know alot of people liked him but the knock was his speed. damn draft metrics. this is how players like quick go at the top of the 2nd and players like allen go low 3rd. can he play should be the number one consideration.

anyway i looked it up. that was the year the rams took tavon and bailey. they drafted tjmac a few spots before allen was taken.

Good catch. I have definitely been watching too much football lately.
