I’m aware sacks aren’t the end all be all stat it’s just one way of illustrating my point. I also state I know he has weaknesses and everybody does. All I’m saying is he’s productive and not nearly as expensive as people think. Replacing him is being made to sound easy and I don’t think it will be. As for drafting his replacement isn’t that something Ebukam was drafted to possibly do?
I probably shouldn’t be arguing for Quinn because people must think I want him around forever which isn’t the case. My point was two fold. It’s not easy replacing a productive pass rusher. And we had these same discussions about Chris Long and now people regret letting him go, will the same happen with Quinn?
As far as Chris Long is concerned. He has played a OLB like he did in college at Virginia .
He is a little bit of a Tweener at DE ??
His contract was huge & is more of a role player at much less than as a Ram.
Ebukham is playing at Barwins spot where Chris Long would be playing ?
I’n Not 100% on long. I do know Morgan Fox plays well at LDT/DE & Longacre at RDt/DE , or OLB depending.
Aaron Donald is mostly lined up next to Quinn. I really like Ejuan Price & saw him
Play on the Left side in practice. He reminds me of a poor mans Mack from Oakland.He uses both power and speed. He gets low & comes up with a burst.
We can make our predictions.
Mine is that Ebukham is a stud !! If not this year, then next He is a starter. Connor Barwin is the only player that will stand in his way. He plays a role on special teams is why. Plus Carlos Thomas got some good reps in last year after his injury. McVay said a lot of nice things about him.
Ejuan was one of my favorites, along with Kevin Petterson.
The thing I also liked the most from watching practice was how excellent Coach Pleasant is . His group will all be back & these guys just fly around and make plays. If you look at the stable of
WR’s The Rams have then look at this young DB’s
Petterson
Hatfield
Blake Countess
M. Christian
Isahi Johnson
These guys made it through the season on The Rams roster from practice,injury, & 53. I kept an eye on these guys & think they all will improve so much through OTA’s !!
Isn’t D. Easley still signed to another year ?
The Rams have a lot of talent.
Les Snead did not get the credit he deserved with Fisher.
Donnie Jones he let go & got J. Hekker as a udfa !
Drafted Greg the Leg after letting Brown go to save a lot of cap room. The Rams kept McQuide & all 3 were pro Bowlers this season.
Found Pharoh who he traded back & still got who made the pro bowl.
Rodney McLod ? Traded for Nick Foles ?
Traded for Case Keenum for cheap.
It was the 2nd rd pick from Philly that made the Goff deal work.
I look at Westbrooks, Morgan, & Longacre as solid finds. Just examples of what some of these players will become ?
I think The Rams organization is in good hands right now.
The Big $$$ decision are what we will be following real soon. At that point the rest will be lined out.
