Studs and duds from Rams’ loss to Broncos in preseason finale

Looking at the players who stood out for the right and wrong reasons against the Broncos.

Stud: Tutu Atwell

Once again, Atwell was a bright spot on offense. He was targeted 12 times, catching eight passes for 62 yards – including a 16-yarder late in the fourth quarter. It was somewhat surprising that he was still on the field deep into the fourth, but Atwell has shown the last few weeks that he can win in multiple ways. It just would’ve been nice to see him catch a deep pass, or at least have a shot at one. Just about everything was underneath by Bryce Perkins against Denver, which has an outstanding secondary.

Yeah I noticed that. Tutu was useless on that play.

Koski too

Had some good some bad and some questionable plays that you hope he learns from. Wouldn't give him a stud myself but it wasn't terrible.

Agreed. He grinded out a good game. But he's not showing what he can do by any stretch IMO. Jefferson admitted last year his head was spinning and IMO he's a smart player. Tutu missed 10 critical days of camp. His head is spinning. The mental side needs snaps and reps which is why they fed him the ball.

Jefferson looks much more ready for game time at the start of season two for sure. Tutu looks to be our punt returner maybe kicks too and our 5th WR.

This one is funny. From the "thank God we traded for Michel" file...

3rd and 7 at 13:12 second quarter. Broncos know it's pass they're bringing it:

X Jones makes a good read here and moves quickly to get in position:

Speed bump on the way to the QB sack

Dud: Tremayne Anchrum

Anchrum had some trouble on the right side tonight. He was in a tough spot early on going up against Von Miller, who beat him easily for a tackle at the line of scrimmage. Anchrum was also called for holding in the first half on a play that would’ve put the Rams in third-and-1 instead of second-and-13, stalling the drive in their own zone. He kicked over to left guard later in the game but it still wasn’t a banner game for the second-year player out of Clemson.

Yahoo are clowns. If you expect a backup OG/OT to solo Von Miller with little help I suppose working for a clickbait sports outlet is the way to go though.

 

[So Ram]

The prob with DT has always been who replaces Brock. We just took a detour into Robinsonville. But it still looks like a prob. Maybe SJD fixes it though.

I don’t see the problem there.The problem I’ve had is who do you cut. This actually makes the process easier Imo. Injuries suck though & Brockers made such a huge impact early in the season. He slowed down a bit at times.

These shoulder pads have a way of making a player look like they're lactating...

I wished Yahoo would have asked 6 yr veteran starting RT Rob Havenstein what his experience over the years has been blocking Von Miller you might get ,then Rob would say he has been

 

[Merlin]

I don’t see the problem there.

Wish I could say that. Oh well.

 

[badnews]

Unbelievable. The most fun I've ever had at the many years if concerts I've been too. Of course, he's been my fiance and my favorite fit quite awhile. Our first time seeing him. It was electric and his light show was awesome.

Sweet, I'm looking forward to it!

 

[Florida_Ram]

Which game was this?

Just my opinion, but I think McVay wanted to start Wolf after the Jets game. I think it became even more so after the Seattle game the following week.

I don't know for sure but that's my belief and I'm at peace with it.

 

[Florida_Ram]

Without a doubt.

I’m glad he’s out backup. I will say Perkins as a 3rd he’s not bad.

Totally agree @Corbin

I never got all the hype after the Raiders game.

I'm happy he's our 3rd and I believe he has more ceiling left in his game.

Evans

2nd and 13 Rams try to run left side with Evans pulling

He gets out clean this should be gravy

Gets to the guy and sets up like he's pass blocking lol

Hey Evans... When your next team tells you to pull for a run I suggest you just bury the MFer. Think more heat seeking missile and less pattycake.

Good stuff as always @Merlin


You are always a magician with your Rams insight.

 

[Merlin]

Thanks Florida though none of these require much insight.

Harris has no jam. And pairing him with Burgess right side, well, that's not helping...

Pre-snap he's set up for the jam outside

At the snap Lock's sorry, no-defense-reading-ass is missile locked on 12. But it's ok for two reasons. First, Harris is already beat. Second, Burgess is smelling flowers or something, whatever he's doing it's not reading the QB's eyes or anticipating a very obvious throw decision.

Lock still busily staring down 12. Harris still beat and about to grab to save his ass from a long TD. And check out Burgess... Seriously man. If you want to play quarters you have to be able to see that obvious shit from the middle and break on it. It's like he's mesmerized or something.

Burgess doesn't read it until the ball is in the air. And the PI on Harris gets Denver's sorry ass offense out of the hole.

 

[Merlin]

BTW while I'm thinking about it... Hoecht had a heck of a game. He's gonna be cut too most likely. Hope we can get him back on the PS because I really like his game.

 

[…..]

Two assumptions from me just looking at stat sheets.

Based on targets, they are really forcing the TuTu gonna be a reciever thing. Targets crammed his way for gsme experience. Though his true initial value may be returning kicks.

Jacob Harris may have made it to pre season protected status. Limited snap counts the last 2 and a few are assuming he’s got alot to learn, and of course he does, but I think he’s made it into McVay’s playmaking imagionation.
