Reeder is definitely a depth piece. Still feel like he needs to drop some weight and if he'd do that he'd be more competitive out there. His complete lack of change of direction is what hurts him most IMO. It's important because when you see him open up his stride he's got decent speed, the guy is not a bad athlete.
Agree
It's obvious to me
Troy Reeder is not the liability in run-downs as in passing situations. For three straight seasons, Reeder has yet to miss any games due to injury or sickness non of the Ram's LB'ers/Safeties or Corners can say that. The truth is the Ram's ILB'er unit has been plagued with injuries over those 3 seasons where Reeder was pressed into action. That's one very
BIG positive with Reeder that none of the others can touch. If those safeties & ILB'ers would have remained healthy we would not seen Reeder on the field in passing situations where he could be targeted......Reeder has been the last man standing for many seasons!
The offering of an RFA tender to Reeder has to be forthcoming. If MLB'er
Ernest Jones can beef up enough to remain healthy & FA
Travin Howard is resigned along with Reeder the 2022 Ram inside the LB'ing unit should remain as good as it was this season.
Rams will also have strong safety
Taylor Rapp (who is the best playing in an ILB'er post in passing situations
only), SS/ILB
Antoine Brooks Jr. (who was just signed) & MLB'er
Christian Rozeboom who is also signed under contract & has been lurking on the Practice Squad & then on the active roster for the last two seasons.
I believe the combination of players working over in these ILB'er posts will work out very well for DC Morris this upcoming season. This will be economy cost moves too. This will allow Snead to concentrate on the edge defenders/ corners where big questions remain.
