Given the jump in his level of play, he deserves to.
Absolutely. And I think Lake will receive a good offer. I hope it’s good enough because he’s a big part of our backfield.

Kinchens is good but I feel like Lake is a leader within the defense. Curl is good as well but I feel very replaceable. McCollough(sp?) I think is still under the radar for most teams.

It’s kind of funny the ebs and flows of position groups. I think we all felt the safety position was going to take a big leap with Sheattle and the Yets but it was a blip. Still, the position took on a bigger piece of the pie. Not Adams piece but….

See @bubbaramfan I’m off work now. :woozy2:
 
I suspect. But that’s fine. The Rams are pretty good on cap calculations even if they have been stung a few times.
Sure,but we’ll see the direction The Rams go with these contracts.

I know your a Landman guy & hope his contract gets done.Q.Lake is going to be interesting to watch.He is such a local guy,and might be a win win type contract.B.Young & Verse have become SO thight that Insee them wanting to play together for a few more seasons at least.

Yeah - remember Mo Alexander -lol
We can go all the way back.

The depth is nice.When I went to training camp Josh Wallace got beat playing CB.The Rams had him & Kendricks starting to play inside CB.Wallace beat him out & found a roster spot.
—IMO they sort of are grooming he & Jaylen for Q.Lake just in case.Kinchens can’t be 6”foot,but he covers SO much field.
If you Go Back to the preseason Nick Valcarel,but Tanner Ingle might be better than Q.Lake when next season comes around.He already has his a mock-name.
 
Not knowing who "JSM" is and getting mad at someone for using the acronym is wild. I wouldn't type that damn name out either. Watch more ball, or get over it.

Your team plays in the NFCW, you should know who the best players in the division are.... Crap, do I have to explain NFCW now???

I believe Snead will let the market set Quinten Lake's price, like they do most others, and then the Rams will decide if they should pay him or not. While he is a stud (per Mcvay)... this has certainly been his best year (really only 7 games so far... let's see if his stats even out). He might be replaceable but he is also a foundational piece on this team (IMHO).

Keeping Lake is my strong preference, too. I was trying to distinguish between important wants and critical must-haves that will be the core of the team.

Snead has a knack for finding DBs in late rounds and even as low as UDFAs. The team has historically let DBs walk and hasn't really suffered for it. For these reasons, while I hope they keep Lake, I can't put him in the critical, foundational piece category.
You're right about the overall approach when it comes to DBs in recent years, but I do think they're somewhat open-minded... I also think Lake is critical. Between his communication and growing coverage abilities and role.. I think it becomes a little easier to build a backfield with someone like him already in place. As good as D Williams is playing.. I'd release him and use the money to sign Lake.
