So glad we were able to pick up Copeland after losing a seemingly plodding Myers in last PS game. So happy we grabbed Dakota for practice squad & hope he makes the very most of it. Glad Kelley may get another shot and behind a starting line that may actually open a real hole to burst through. He has reminded me of Cleveland Gary wearing that very cloe number.
My only sadness is not being able to grab BOOGIE Roberts who really had a great final Preseason game and looked dominant among the Texans scrubs. If not picked up maybe if any injury we can grab him back into the HORNS. Love we have two sides of nasty beef in Day & Gaines that can sure make a 4th & 1 very hard to make. We need Dakota to grab coach Barry (LB's) coach and pick his brain heading into season as he did arrive with a thump on many tackles in preseason. many Ram fans are hoping he can be that Mike lb who makes the most of the few reps he is now gonna see with Hager starting those few reps he's gonna get in Wades "D".
I don't care that we are young as we have such great position coaches & most of all vets teaching from Weddle teaching Rapp & Clay helping both inside and outside LB's. OO making the most of every rep he got with a sore hamstring in his 4 pre-season games. loves his forced fumble most announcers missed in Texans pre-season game. Just hope Obo can make the very most of all the prayers & high hopes many Ram fans had for him since his drafting and such a small window to show his skills as many had given up he would be what he once was as a didrupter in college and at his size. Rams need pass rush so bad as we need run stopping we had a weakness in last season.
I think we have upgraded the Suh gameplay with our new youth & size .
First game last season playing away on dirt infield with Raiders we let an ex Tight end Cooks have a career day against us in yardage & breaking tackles . After not playing starters all pre-season.We play Greg Olson of the yearly foot injury & many Pro Bowls this upcoming Sunday. I hope we have stopped our weakness against Tight Ends that we had last season & we will face a tough pass catching RB the league is VERY well aware of & we can't allow the up the middle long runs we did last season. Tackling was not the best last season against the run. The Stanford grad & Olsen will be two of the biggest threats this upcoming Sunday the 8TH.
I think Weddle will stop any Tight End from having a field day like Cooks had against us in our first game last season. That was the game Gurley was first injured without most being aware of how banged up he got on that one bad tackle. Hoping Rapp also starts the season hot & is bigtime in tackles as he loves to (WRAP) up players low by grabbing their legs together. Thought we'd of picked up a better backup Center but hope Kolone is a worthy pickup after being cut. Very ,very happy Durham was placed on practice squad & not picked off by another team especially in case of injury in our pass rushing depth. He had a very good pre-season against lesser competition. If we can develop this young talent we can be a constant threat to win it all. Great job Les & all scouts.
