Rams sign Bobby Wagner

[TheTackle]

I remember arguing with a few of the compulsive posters here, on the old defunct St. Louis board, why Wagner was a brilliant prospect (that everyone before the benefit of hindsight pegged as a 3rd rounder). I argued that we should run to the podium to draft him in the 2nd. It turned out he was even better than I thought! Him and Jones together? Look out, “Timber”

Welcome to the Rams Mr. Wagner. Looking forward to you and Jones cleaning up back there.

Yessss

I knew it all along.

At this point the Seahawks hate for the Rams must be at the level we hate the whiners.

Guessing @Loyal gets banned over there now.

Dear Twitter Photoshoppers:

Number 54 is already taken.

Sincerely,

Leonard Floyd

P.S. So's his college number (9). Sincerely, Matthew Stafford


No. 4, maybe? 44? 59?

Numbers for new players are always intriguing to me.

Since he had 9 in college, and 54 might've added to 9 by his probable reasoning, he may go 45, Obo's old number.

Or like you said 59. He'd also look cool in a 44.

Gonna be laying major wood in the middle.

Well now THAT could be taken a couple different ways.

Yeah the leadership part is huge. The team has had a huge departure of leadership in the past month from Whit, Woods, Miller, Weddle even.... defense won't be short of it anymore.

I have to chuckle at the myopic he is only a 2 down backer takes. When you affect a game the way he can it makes 3rd downs a whole new ball game with the way we can get at the QB. If it is short-yardage he isn't leaving the field. I will take those 3rd and longs all day

 

[RAMSinLA]

I hope he realizes like Miller did that this is AD's defense.

Of all the AFC playoff teams the one that I feared the most for a matchup problem for the Rams was the Titans. I didn’t like the run defense against King Henry. I felt that was the Rams biggest weakness, especially after dropping 7 in a row to the Niners.

I’d still would have preferred an edge/corner combo but this move should help shore up the run defense.

 

[HE WITH HORNS]

I wonder if on passing downs, they will move him more to the OLB position, and have him just rush the QB? I know he's not as big as some DE's, but he could sure run around an OT.

 

[SWAdude]

I hope he realizes like Miller did that this is AD's defense.

I give all the credit to AD on how he handles these personalities.

No player in the NFL is unaware of AD and who is the leader of that squad. People want to play with AD.

Wagner will be handed the green dot. He'll be a captain along with Donald and Ramsey. I'm sure the owners talked to him re: Donald's leadership, etc. and Wags knows this and is a team player. He'll bring some more meanness to the D for sure.

Donald did great as a vocal leader, he may hand the reigns over to Bobby for that unless his input is also needed.

Of course he's not the player he was 10 years ago, big duh. But then many of us heard Von wasn't the same either, which was also a big duh, but then his half-season and playoffs speak for themselves.

He'll be an every down. Rams will sub in Howard at times. He'll get his vet rest days in practice. It's all good!!!!
