Practice Squad Signings

[Dieter the Brock]

Kevin Reddick? LB
Any info on this pick up?

 

[Elmgrovegnome]

Do you think this guy -- A320driver -- might be the lurking "Les Snead?" Just wondering. . .

Possible but I doubt Les would care enough to reply, especially calling posters uneducated and such. He would probably just read it and laugh.

 

[LACHAMP46]

Then Mark Sanchez should be a natural
train

LOL, why this hasn't happened, IDK? Those 2 must really don't like each other...Plus Sanchez is from OC....probably doesn't speak spanish.....

While I was looking on Twitter for PS updates I came across these in reference to Mike Sam if anyone is interested.

CFL's Montreal Alouettes have reached out to Michael Sam, according to @RapSheet. Alouettes own Sam's rights: http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000387045/article/cfls-alouettes-wait-to-hear-back-from-michael-sam?campaign=Twitter_atl…

Contrary to some rumors, Michael Sam has NOT been signed to Denver's practice squad.

IMO Sam should wait it out for a job in the NFL this year unless he gets $$$$$$$ wowed by the CFL team. There's going to be a lot of attrition to DE's in the upcoming season. He should get a shot.

Rams complete practice squad by adding LB Denicos Allen, WR Emory Blake, S Christian Bryant, QB Garrett Gilbert. As expected, No Michael Sam
3:36 p.m. Mon, Sep 1

Denicos Allen is very intriguing. Undersized but the guy just made plays at Michigan State. I'd like to see him get a shot on special teams. If nothing else he should carve out a spot as a reliable special teamer.

I'd really like to get him on the active roster as soon as possible.

 

[JackDRams]

Now that the practice squad is complete, my initial thoughts......fuck right off. I'm glad we have Bryant and Gilbert on there as well as the two new LBers. But Matt Daniels, Washington, Hooey, Veltung and Conrath? Over guys like Reid, Franklin, Sam, etc. I understand we need help in certain positions, but corner is one of those positions and we neglected it. To keep Daniels, who is made of fine china, Veltung who is a glorified KR who can't even do that well, Hooey the revolving door, who can only play RT well, against third stringers, Conrath who is good at nothing and Washington who has been here for years and hasn't progressed at all. This is seriously the best we could do? Disappointed.

 

[mr.stlouis]

This thread is huge, are there any additions besides Hooey and the other guy?

If they truly just want a veteran than Grossman is perfect and I'm sure he'll pick up the system expeditiously. However, Pryor comes with upside, but there is a side of me that would be scared about them thinking Pryor could have potential to start. In the long run I want the Rams to draft somebody next year. There will be plenty of options and they won't have to sell the farm to move up either.

We'll see how this plays out, but IMO one of these guys will be signed and they will release a TE, because why in the hell would you need five?

Meh... Grossman has had his best days behind him... I'd rather have somebody who still have the ability to win any given Sunday.

Can he go on PS?

I doubt it... more than likely would have to cut someone on the 53 which is worth it to me

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that our front office knows infinitely more about these guys than you do.

 

[Ramsey]

Can anybody tell me about the two linebackers on the practice squad?

 

[Alan]

Ramsey wanting help:
Can anybody tell me about the two linebackers on the practice squad?

There's a whole thread on one of them here:
Denicos Allen eager for sizable NFL challenges ahead
You're on your own with the other one. Or someone else will lend a hand.

Damn I guess that means I'm not entitled to an opinion.

that like is from my wife..she wishes you could make that happen ...No Not Les

 

[ZigZagRam]

Damn I guess that means I'm not entitled to an opinion.

You certainly are, but when tearing apart the majority of our practice squad built by a GM who has certainly shown the ability to scout UDFA talent, it comes across as a bit dogmatic. I think Snead deserves to be given benefit of the doubt.

That's all I'm saying.

 

[Mojo Ram]

Veltung and Blake must be pretty good practice guys. I just haven't seen the fascination the Rams may have with them.

I agree, but i don't attend practice.

 

[A320driver]

I watched every preseason game twice through. Once live and once going back and forth using the 10 sec clicker.
I very much respect CoachO's views on practice but i also trust mine own eyes when it comes to gameday.

My question to you is : How do you think he fits ?

Sooooo .. Can you tell us all how you justify Bond at only being serviceable at RG ?
P.s....Iam not a lawyer, but you make it easy

 

[Mojo Ram]

Hooey? I think he sucks.

 

[Mackeyser]

Hooey fits like that sweater your grandmother knitted for you when you were in the fifth grade. You remember the one? The sweater with the body big enough for three people and with one arm longer than the other...one sleeve had a cuff, the other didn't...she didn't wear her glasses when doing the teddy bear, so he actually looks like a psychotic wolverine...which actually got cooler as you got older, but you couldn't fit into it by then...

You know...? THAT one. He fits like THAT sweater... as in...not at all.
