Just shows how SILLY The Rams were !! They have to know Alaric was The Player The Rams needed to sign to a Team Friendly contract!!!
Sort of really pisses ME off !!!
How do you sign Noteboom & Brian Allen to extensions,when you have a player like Alaric Jackson who EARNED everything he got.
Maybe he wasn’t the best WE player ? He left one game for family reason ,then he was suspended for those 2 games.The Rams still had Noteboom though who is getting PAID starter money.
He’s suppose to have at least held up.
Last year with Dotson. WTF ? When you think outside the box with that kind of CAP HIT you better be right.
Johan Jackson was coming off an injury.Was he more important than Alaric ?? Then to move Steve Avila from LG ? They should have had Noteboom working with him.Solidifying the Left Side(blindside) .
This 2024 season is not over & The Rams are going to PAY Big TIME for not taking care of it.
Funny - I just deleted a post ,that said I’d be posting about this as self reflection.
Plus how NOW posters & Radio(straps) jocks are saying he knew & just wanted to get PAID.
Everything Sean Mcvay is SO True,about happy for this guy to get paid.He means it because he earned that opportunity as he ALWAYS says to make this money.
He was a UDRFA who just completed OTA’s working right next to Steve Avila & they were BETTER than EVER .
This is SAD because no matter what his LIFE will BE SHORTENED weather he plays or not.Mcvays LOVE for his plays is what makes him. Special HC.
IMO - Alaric Jackson will try to do everything he can to comeback!! That is who he is.He’s a grinder who stays calm,and try’s to stay balanced & protect.
The concerns are there -
Diet(no fatty foods) for a OT ?
Traveling (has to stay on his feet)
Weight building? - have a friend who has to where a sleeve (leg) all day long.He still lifts,SO that might not be an issue.
There’s some bright sides to it & he has had this issue before.The severity is a question & if surgery is needed ?
Being able to bring on 2 quality OT’s before training camp is huge.
David Quessenberry in OTA’s probably shows his limitations & or where Big Rob Havenstien is health wise ?
DJ Humpries will be a good veteran if nothing else bringing knowledge to the group with a EXCELLENT O”Line staff.
