You seem to imply he is the first and only player to have to come back from an injury. I will prefer to give him the benefit of the doubt, that his rehab is and will be more painful than anything he will be doing once he is cleared to get back on the field.

At some point, why not just root for the kid to succeed, instead of constantly coming up with reasons why he won't?

I do want him to succeed. But this was a very severe injury. I'll believe it when I see him dive or leap for a catch like he used to or hear you say that he did that. Fair enough?

Plenty of players have come back from injuries. Plenty more haven't.

So Ram thinking Williams has changed:
Don't think so,but Williams will be mixing it up.

I'm OK with soft coverage on 3rd &25 but I'd like to see Williams calling for MUCH more man coverage. A great pass rush doesn't do much good if the opposing QB is just going to take three step drops and complete that totally uncovered short pass.

I understand your point of view. Just choose to give him the benefit of the doubt.

And to be fair, he's not the type of receiver that dives or lays out for balls all that often. Most of his "out of frame" catches are where he goes up and over defenders on contested throws.

Bloody iPad! I meant to say that compared to the Dodgers pitching, his arm injury history doesn't look too bad

Yeah- Brian Quick has found himself.He has been working hard.I think The Rams WR are under rated,& really showed up in games last season.I'm a believer in Brian Quick.
I also think he still needs his reps,but with a shoulder it becomes your flexibility .He can reach over his head with full extension is what I gather.

Dude no kidding. Too bad they'll lose to the Red Sox in the world series again. Wainwright being out is huge. Maybe not now, but for the playoffs.

I'm thankful for the advances in technology and the affordability of camera equipment that allows most small schools to stream their games online.

I was just reading some interesting stuff on Cameron Lynch:
http://www.syracuse.com/orangefootball/index.ssf/2014/05/cameron_lynch_freak_linebacker_athlete.html

The bench reps are impressive, but not so surprising when you look at link 1, but combined with his shuttle time (4.07 v an average for LBs of 4.29) he might be worth watching. Oh, and in case you are thinking he is just a workout warrior:
http://www.syracuse.com/orangefootball/index.ssf/2015/04/syracuse_football_2015_banquet_awards.html
He was a team captain as well.
Special teams places could be a really interesting camp battle this year.

I'm hoping at least ONE of these LB's can bump Chase Reynolds off. All he does is ST's and his roster spot could be used for LB depth and development

All he does is ST, which, IMO, is not to be minimized. And any one of "these LBs" are not going to be doing anything but ST's, so its kind of a wash, unless they are better than Reynolds. Which is unlikely.

I just meant Coach ... .that it would open a "depth" spot on the roster for a LB. We have bigger needs there than at the RB spot. I mean .... FIVE RB's on the 53 man, yet only 5 LB's. If one of theses guys can do what CR does on teams, they will provide depth so we can be at least 2 deep at each LB spot .... and we are still 4 deep at RB.

I wasn't "minimizing" his contributions to Teams ... just saying I would like to open roster spots at other positions :)
