GAME DAY Rams vs Chargers Aug. 17

[bubbaramfan]

Listening to ESPN had DeMarco Farr and Jordan Rodriguez on talking Rams. Of note, Aubrey Pleasant will be in charge on sideline while Sean McVay will be upstairs in the booth with announcers.
Unsure who starts.

I can’t think of a time I’ve enjoyed preseason this much. The Rams have really interesting depth.

There was a lot to like in game 1.

I'm looking forward to Saturdays game. Going to throw a couple of teaks on the grill with lobster tails.
And a cooler full of beer. Oh yeah!

I always love a good teak. Especially a burmese or plantation trimmed medium rare.

I never could barbecue a good teak. Too woody of a taste.


I will let myself out.

Nice gotta set to record

Sorry I'm working on my car so I place a plastic key protector on my keyboard and it causes me to miss some letters. lol

If Alt is playing for the chargers, I would love to see how are back up edges look against him.

It's been clarified that Mcvay will spend some time in the broadcast booth but most of the time he'll be in the coaches booth.

 

[majrleaged]

I like that a lot better.

Looking forward to the game today.
Snead and McVay continue to find young players to develop which makes preseason about as watchable as one could hope.

Offensively I am looking forward to seeing

Stetson, clean it up
Whittington, follow up on a nice week one
Boston Scott, assert himself as #3
X, Smith continue to develop
L. Bruss, build on his best performance yet
Limmer, build on a solid debut
the whole backup OL have another solid performance

Defensively

Everyones defensive darling, T Davis have another solid day
Kam Kinchens continue to improve
Brennan Jackson, is he a P.S candidate?
N Hampton, continue to get pressure, bubble for the 53
All the young linebackers Speights, Neal, Fatukasi
where is Mathis?
DB's this group is fascinating
T. Tomlinson could end up the odd man out with some youngsters looking to make the team
We are loaded at Safety.

We are going to have tough decisions for the P.S
leaving nice developmental players exposed.

I hope that is not the plan for Brennan Jackson because I don’t know he makes it through waivers.

Hoping to see a lot of three rookie DBs … safety Jaylen McCollough, who I thought looked really good last week, and cornerbacks Charles Woods and Josh Wallace.

Read some very positive things about Woods early in Camp; and, I believe, Wallace received the largest signing bonus among the undrafted free agents.

McCollough looked good agreed, we are deep at safety and could lose a really nice prospect.
Jackson needs a better showing this week, could be he & Hampton battling for a spot on the 53. I wasn't a fan of Hamptons but he had a nice game.
Final CB spots are a bloodbath.

Jackson did not play last week.

Not sure if he will be in uniform today. Hope so.

Hoping for five Edge players to make the final roster … Young, Verse, Hoecht, Jackson and Hampton.

I am wondering if Hoecht could be traded. He counts $2.3M against the cap and a cut or trade results in no dead cap space. If Jackson is really showing up in camp and the DL has enough depth, I could see them moving him. A rookie replacement who makes $800K results in $1.5M in cap savings. That can be pushed to next yr.

Atwell is another that I can see them moving if they are sold on Smith and Whittington stepping up, along with Tyler Johnson. They lose speed, not sure how fast Smith is, but we all know it's the last yr of Atwell's contract, so he likley won't be back anyway. Getting a late pick or a flip of picks, couldn't hurt. They only have 7 picks next year.

Thanks, No wonder I didn't notice him in on any plays and an empty stat sheet.
the final 53 may have abnormal diversions from common practice to protect players they fear losing. Of course, you have to contribute on teams at minimum so that sort of thinking gets complicated too.

I know this wasn't directed at me but my take is they love Hoecht, he is very smart provides great leadership, is versatile, and relatively cheap

Damn one off season that group looks mean, young, talented, and cheap!

Well, Yes ... But

There is much hope for sure but the next sack by Verse, Jackson or Hampton will be their first NFL sack. Hoecht is a nice depth-player but the type of starter most teams would look to up-grade from.

We're talking Potential; and there seems to significant reason for hope but it's still to be proven.

Tell me what I typed that isn’t true?

Yet you made a post like I said they have posted All Pro numbers after 10 years.
