I don't ever remember him returning a punt or a kick. Mizzou's punt returner is Luther Burden and was the entire time Schrader was at Mizzou
So what is 'ol Luther doing these days? Mebbe we should give him a call......

The thing about Schrader is that he's a fantastic receiver and blocker. Really did everything for Mizzou last year and was the engine.

I still am pining for Luther Burden III, but he's going top five.
I’m pulling for him. KR? ST?
He’s a long shot but then there’s this: Schrader runs for 128 yards and a TD as No. 9 Missouri beats No. 7 Ohio State 14-3 in Cotton Bowl.
Even if he had 25+ carries to get there.

If Schrader can stick long enough to get comfortable in the offense to where he can play fast, I believe that he will surprise a lot of people.

Didn't he have a couple good returns in preseason. If he can help there he is worth that roster spot.

Rams need to be on the good side of the returns ledger this year.

I saw him a bit in a 49ers preseason game. He ran like a battering ram.
I did not like the idea of him inside Shanahan's run game.
Perhaps this is further foreshadowing of McVay's plan of the 2024 Rams: Power Run Game.
Coupled with Staffordian surgery, could be interesting. Shades of the Al Davis Raiders of yore . .
McVay at the leading edge of another NFL cycle?

Seems like a mostly outside zone guy from college. Curious about punt returns with him.
According to those reports he has good hands. That said, it’s not an easy job and takes practice. I am still surprised Smith didn’t make the 53

Watch his highlights...he was catching 30 years passes down field.

I think may be one of those moves where they kick the tires and he is cut later and put on the PS as a long term developmental player.
Thomas played too well in the preseason to not land somewhere.
Bummed he is leaving after the Rams developed him, but, he deserves to be on a 53.
You don’t like Bruss & Limmer ?
Did you see Zach Thomas at LT ?
I get your point though.

He was not good at all looked slow and just bad as an RB in preseason. Not excited at all.

It was idiotic to play Thomas at LT vs the Bengals.
Like Thomas has nothing to do with liking or not like Bruss and Limmer.
I like all three and all three played well inside this preseason.

Agree,but you have to look at the upside & years The Rams have with there contracts?
—Zach Thomas might end up.being a starter.There is a connection with The Rams & NE when it comes to the Offensive Line.
-Noteboom is still a backup at guard & tackle.Warren M might be The Rams starting RT &(or) backup either way as the 2024 season goes on.
