Terrell Lewis thread

[CoachAllred]

It would be so nice to have him to start coming on more and more
as the season goes on. This kid checks all the boxes physically.
If Snead hits on this pick, I'm crowning him King of the badasses.lol

I think we could have an entire thread about the fit in scheme, but also the fact that the Rams are changing it up in the run game now. Edwards and Corbett both look pretty good in duo for example. They have definitely mashed a bit this year and it makes teams need to prepare for more than just stacking the outside zone.

DCs can't look at this offense right now and say "all we have to shut down is that outside zone." Because to do that you stack the edges and this OL will open holes up the gut more often than not.

It's kind of funny to me at least, the way Edwards isn't that ideal fit they wanted but it doesn't matter. And with him and Corbett inside they aren't dominant (due to Center) but they're definitely good enough to pound the rock on the interior, which may be the biggest advantage of all. Hear that silence? Yeah that's where all that BS about the 6-1 front being McVay's kryptonite used to be.

I agree. But they still chose the inferior blocker with better movement skills and it wasn't working. Number one need for an Olineman is he has to be able to block and hold blocks. That's why Edwards is working out well. He's a superior blocker. But he does limit the scheme a bit in that there are some plays they aren't running now that he's in.

Corbett, while not an All Pro has been consistent and has the ability to move laterally or play straight forward. He's a versatile piece, I'm glad the Browns gave up on him.

I'm glad to hear the depth chart was wrong. I'm hoping he stays at third string.

Dude that time is so not even there.Did you already forget Brewer?
Your so high on a 22 year old udrfa who had not played & was fighting cancer. Now after getting a year of NFL experience & then sitting out like a Mormon Mission in 2020 you want to draft someone early in 2021.

Just saying who knows what 2020 is going to look like in January 2021? Is there going to be a SuperBowl. You know COVID is just a joke & won’t play a part of this 2020 NFL season.Unless your in Florida playing in the Bubble(Laker Nation) & you don’t have to travel.
The Rams do a good job,but I think the thing your missing is the Practice Squad & Regular Roster filled with O”Lineman. I will never say to pass on a position during the draft.

I look at Hopkins & Jefferson. Those were Value Picks.
Lewis was both Of need & value.

Then Fuller after taking Burgees as a FS shows that filling in the squares are the best way to do this.

I liked watching Reeder Sunday against Washington.

I must of not made myself clear. My post did not state I desired the Rams to draft OL'ers high in their upcoming drafts. My stated prefered direction is for Snead to continue as he has since 2018.

Snead utilized several late 2nd day selections (Noteboom/ Evans) and five 3rd day picks. All of them under contract and being utilized. In fact two are starting.

I am a strong advocate of utilizing 1st and 2nd round picks for edge rushers/ DT's and corners. Quicker return dividends/less development needed.

Akers.
Jefferson 2020

Rapp 2019

Anyway- Lewis should be good.2020

David Long was last season. Fuller was the bomb this year playing better than Rapp to date.
—Lewis will be better than Gaines & OBo combined.
Burgess is getting less playing time that I would have thought.

Reynolds & Everett look tough as shit right now. Both have developed with McSnead.Both could bring comp picks?

YEP !! At one time there were thoughts he could be the steal
of the draft.

lol- Saban gets COVID!! Funny thing was they gave up 40 points.

-Point - Lewis & Bama have had some good defenses. Lewis is going to be in a Prime Spot on Sunday. Last week he came close to making some plays.
- have to once again start a respect post.

Rapp is a pure SS type. He is far better up close to the LOS making taks. Serious liabilities in any secondary in pass coverages. He lacks any natural abilities when used deep. I do not consider him a good selection for this team.

Still we are lucky to have him currently with Fuller on IR. If Corners Hill, Williams and Long plus Burgess as the Nickel were strong enough as a functional cb unit Ramsey and JJ III could be our starting safeties with Rapp moving up to help the poor ILB pass coverage.

For the record on Rapp, when the Rams traded down, I believe their target at safety was actually Narsir Adderley. Of course, Adderley was the selection immediately before Taylor Rapp, going to the LA Chargers, which might have come as a surprise to the Rams brass, as the Chargers had just drafted safety Derwin James the year prior in the 1st round, 17th overall, and James had an outstanding rookie campaign.

Pure speculation on my part, of course. And even if Adderley was the Rams target when they traded down, I am sure they accounted for the possibility that he might not be available, and as the Rapp pick was in quick if memory serves, I am sure they were content to come away with him as well. Kind of a 1A/1B situation. Which might not be surprising, as Snead has spoken at length that they rank players in "tiers".

I have no idea how Adderley has developed since being drafted. I suspect he is better in coverage than Rapp, but perhaps he is a bust. who knows.

I wondered the same thing. It looks like the Rams did better with Rapp. Adderley didn't play last year and not doing well this year at 50.2 PFF grade for what its worth/

He just adds to the depth.Still a very young player with a lot of upside.McSnead liked him as a value pick,so will see. In a few cases it was the other guy drafted who actually played better.

solid post!!

Imho you're spot on about Rapp and I rarely say that.

Rapp just doesn't fit this scheme that well. He's a phenomenal safety when you put him in the box. He can cover TEs, slot WRs, and HBs. He can blitz. And he's a good tackler in the open field. He just isn't good in deep zone coverage. This is a scheme that likes to play its safeties in deep zones. Rapp really would fit better in this scheme as a third safety playing in the box. The Fuller injury hurts.
