Nice. Best CB on the team, core part of a young, talented secondary.

 

[Rmfnlt]

Not a fan, personally.

I'd wait.... he's been inconsistent, at best.

I don't know how to feel about that.
Quarterbacks had a 114 QB Rating while throwing at him last year.
Compared to a 79 QB rating while throwing at Gaines.

He scores touchdowns though. And that's what the game is all about.

I'm not a Rams fan(obvious by avy) but by watching the Rams' secondary, I would definitely be more happy with Janoris walking & extending Tru(rather than the other way around).

Not really though. Not on defense. It's more about limiting touchdowns, and he's not great at that either.
He gave up 5 last year. Gaines gave up 1.

Benefit of the doubt though. This will be his second year in Williams' defense, so I expect him to tighten up considerably.

I've often wondered how it would be if Tru was on one side and Gaines on the other.
Those two are pretty stout. Not flashy or turnover machines, but pretty damn solid.

Yeavbut what Good receiver did Gaines cover besides Maclin

Fixed that for ya (note: in all fairness, he wasn't the total problem on some of those gaffes last year, but he certainly was a contributing factor).

I understand that but I'm going to reserve judgement on Gaines until he covers the #1 consistently. And I'm just stating why I believe they are extending him. If he has a 10 year career he's on pace to have 19 INT return touchdowns. Which would be far and away the most ever.

Seems like that's skewed by a few big plays, many of which were the result of miscommunication with McLeod. Let them keep playing together in the same scheme and I imagine that rating will decline.

Also Gaines was mostly on the #2 receivers. Jenkins was assigned the best weapon on the opposing offense. I love Gaines, but JJ is no slouch.

(I do wish he got a little less antsy about making big plays... he can gamble, but he needs to know the odds better when he does)

Well... given your ava... I'd do the opposite of what you suggest!

 

[Mojo Ram]

Yeah i'd wait on this too. Why not negotiate in mid-season when we get a clearer picture of what we've really got in our secondary? I do think he still has the most upside among all of our corners DB's...but with several guys on a contract year in 2015 i'd be cautious to extend anyone right now.

Fair enough.

Of course you being a Cards fan, you'd be more happy with Janoris walking

Didn't he draw Mike Evans number last year?

Seem to remember him more than holding his own against the first round draft pick.

Yeah, good point about the communication problems. We've all seen those. And he is left on an island more than any other CB on the team. Even when we're in zone, he's the lone CB playing straight man. And while I do give credence to the idea that being lined up on the other team's #1 is going to skew his stats, that doesn't mean he should get abused as much as he does. If we're talking about extending him and locking him up, wouldn't you like for him to be a top 10 CB? He's currently 50th.

 

[DVontel]

Of course you'd be more happy

Or, you can look at what X posted.

But yea, I'll be way more happy from an opponent's POV if ya'll extend Janoris(VERY happy, trust me).

 

[MrMotes]

No surprise here, Jim Thomas has been saying extending JJ is a priority for the Rams for a while now.

Personally, i like it.
