Maybe my eyes deceived me (because I don't have any stats to back it up) but I thought that Rozeboom elevated his game without Reeder out there. I admittedly yelled at the TV a lot when Reeder was missing tackles, very late in coverage, and just all around looked out of place. I thought Rozeboom was doing much better in the latter part of the season.
We don't have to worry about Rozeboom anymore.I agree but better than below-average (Reeder) is still just average.
Think Rozeboom was a clear improvement over Reeder and decent overall but just too limited physically to be any better than a marginal starting off-ball-LB.
You are correct. Rozeboom played off Reeder often shadowing him. Both often failing miserably. Once Rozeboom was on his own he seemed to play his own game and elevated from horrible to just below average.Maybe my eyes deceived me (because I don't have any stats to back it up) but I thought that Rozeboom elevated his game without Reeder out there.

That being said, this signing looks to be an upgrade over Rozeboom and I don't believe Reeder even belongs in the conversation.

Well, with the Reeder / Rozeboom era over, and the Speights / Landshark era starting... here's hoping we can stop the bleeding in the linebacker department.
FYI this guy isn't as high on Landshark as we are:

Rams finally sign a linebacker (and it's the worst one imaginable)
The Los Angeles Rams' defense was not strong at the inside linebacker position. Midway through the season, starting veteran ILB Troy Reeder fell to injury, forcramblinfan.com

I am concerned about his pass defense but as long as he doesn't play on 3rd and long, I am okay with him as a run stuffer who gives up a pass now and then on first down. I would hope he would be taken out on second and long as well. Maybe take him out on goal line situations as well.Well, with the Reeder / Rozeboom era over, and the Speights / Landshark era starting... here's hoping we can stop the bleeding in the linebacker department.

edit: this may be a bit unfair, as I tend to think his '23 season was more indicative of what he'll do here than his '24 season.
What McVay said was that Lake deserves the credit. The more he improved with understanding the defense, the more it freed up Rozeboom and Speights to play without overthinking. Early in the season Rozeboom looked like he was wearing 30 lb ankle weights with his hesitation. Layer he was much better about reading and reacting. Several people here bagged on Lake but I doubt the coaches share the disdain. Lake had a lot in his plate and helped that defense grow.Maybe my eyes deceived me (because I don't have any stats to back it up) but I thought that Rozeboom elevated his game without Reeder out there.

Agree 100%. Reeder, rozeboom, hummel all gone. Landman only takes one roster spot. The Rams don’t want to use prime draft capital on a position they have been filling with UDFAs or late rounders. They can now take a day 3 guy to compete for a starting job and bring in a few more UDFAs to fill the preseason 90.I think they'll definitely still draft one. Probably not round one now is my guess.
Not until after the league's final cutdown day..........maybe.We don't have to worry about Rozeboom anymore.

If Campbell were to be there at #26, I think there is a fair chance they draft him. What would this defense look like with a 3 down dominate MLB? I'm not saying I'm in favor of it, but, there is no denying the talent he has.I think they'll definitely still draft one. Probably not round one now is my guess.
One recent mock that I saw had Campbell going top ten to the Saints.If Campbell were to be there at #26, I think there is a fair chance they draft him. What would this defense look like with a 3 down dominate MLB? I'm not saying I'm in favor of it, but, there is no denying the talent he has.
From your lips to Snead’s ears.Probably our first pick
If the Rams believe he is absolutely the best MLB in this draft, they should pick him if he’s there at #26.If Campbell were to be there at #26, I think there is a fair chance they draft him.
