The Official Samson Ebukam Appreciation Thread.

I had moved on from hoping he could be a difference maker on the edge. And that particular plate of crow tastes like KC barbeque!

Me too. Pass me that plate of crow!

I am thinking 2 CB's, DT, and a S with the 1st 4 picks. Then an OL or two.

Thinking Kiser could get time next year with Littleton taking over Barron's role. So might not need an ILB

Now just remember, Wade doesn't use a run stuffing fat man NT in his 3-4 defense. We'd all like to add one of them but it's just not the way he operates. He wants 3 guys up there to get after the QB so we might want to get used to that while he's our DC. A run defending ILB though is something he'll use.

What Wade needs is guys who can fill their lane, both at ILB and on the nose. Being washed down and out or blown back off the ball isn't good in this defense, and it happens too much and along with ILB is why we're one of the worst run defenses up the gut.

We do, in the end, need NT help. It's a key area the Rams can get much better this next offseason, not to mention Suh will move on in FA. Oh and this draft is something else on the DL too btw.

We may feel that the Rams need things. What we think is irrelevant! It matters what Wade wants and what Wade will use or convince Snead to get for him. That's my point I don't disagree with anything you said. What I'm saying is your opinion and mine are completely irrelevant when you factor in the way our DC wants to run his defense. He may change but recent history tells me that we need to adjust to Wade not the other way around.

But will one of those DL be there at 32?

I don't know but if not I would pray that there's a FS or a CB.

I think someone's in line for a Defensive Player of the Week award.

Samson had a hell of a night, and I always thought that he could have games like this. Add in Okoronkwo, Fowler, and Franklin-Myers, and you've got a solid young defensive core to compliment stars like Donald.

:bowy)

One "draft guy" has a take on this topic too.

After Rams (supposedly) mortgaged their future in 2016 and got fleeced by the Titans, they were stuck without a 1st rounder in 2017 and had to settle for a draft that included Everett, Kupp, JJ, Reynolds, and Ebukam. Wow.

 

[RAMpage28]

I knew all that Samson stock would pan out.

Seriously, the flashes he had last year, the athletic profile, and now it seems like the technique is coming together more and more, and of course he just made some amazing plays.

He worked Eric Fisher tonight. Love the ceiling on him.

Great interview. Glad the kid had a great night and he deserved it. You work as he has, and good things eventually come to you. He deserved this night for the work he has put in. I look forward to seeing him more.

Samson Ebukam Stole The Show
Lauren Theisen

In an exhilarating Monday Night Football shootout that saw two of the best young quarterbacks in the world play each other to a near-stalemate, it was the Rams defense that made the difference and earned them the 54-51 win over the Chiefs. Specifically, it was second-year linebacker Samson Ebukam—a fourth-round pick out of Eastern Washington—who seemingly made all the significant plays that L.A. needed to slow down Patrick Mahomes.

With the help of Aaron Donald—the one defensive player everybody would....................................................

How about the 2017 draft class!

Reynolds, Ebukam, Everett, and Johnson all made huge plays.

And to to think about Copper Kupp
