Rams awarded DB Darious Williams who was waived by Baltimore. After releasing Aaron Neary from their PS on Saturday the Rams have re-signed him to their PS today.

Edit Didn't know there was already a thread for this. More please delete

He's more of a slot CB (5'9" 187), but he's super athletic (4.44 40, 39" Vert, and 6.84 3CD). I recall Ravens fans being excited about him during the preseason and camp. I'm thinking he's depth behind NRC. He was a PFF favorite last year at UAB (second highest coverage grade in CFB and a 34.6 Passer Rating when targeted). Had 15 PDs and 5 picks.

Wouldn't be surprised to see Smart cut to add another receiver to the active roster.

Also wondering if JoJo had a setback with his hand and they're giving Countess a closer look to return kicks full time.

Also Aaron Neary re-signed to the PS.

Poor Hatfield, if it's not the McCoys it's the Williams.

Also Aaron Neary re-signed to the PS.

This is really good news.
It means I really like him which means he has backup potential.
If he was marginal, they would have been more likely to ditch him when they had the chance.

And let's not forget that our Scouts are REALLY GOOD at identifying defensive backs.

Or it means they didn't see anybody else out there and just kept a guy who's familiar with the offense.

Bastards, I bet there mad about how great Blythe looks at RG

Rams do need to begin to add some CB's. Its a tough position, that sure seems to have some injuries. Hopefully Williams works out.

And our CB Coach is damn good at coaching them up.

The way they churn the bottom of the roster they have to at least like the guy.

We are deep so they are looking at guys they can develop.
