Which 2-3 Rookies are You Most Excited to See in the Preseason?

[Soul Surfer]

I'm very excited to see Bobby Evans.....

I mean Zach Evans.
Rookie backs can break out immediately.

 

[thirteen28]

Well, I did fail middle school geometry. Writing is a strength; numbers, not so much.

So your saying you're write more gooder is people than?!?

 

[muggmeister]

Want to see every damn one of them since there's a chance that 10-20 could actually make our initial 53.

I write better than most, yes. I just suck at math.

 

[Tumak61]

I don't know. Even rookies probably won't play too much if McVay thinks they have a role. I don't expect to see much of Avila, Young, or Turner, and probably not much of the back Evans.

 

[RamFan503]

RB Evans, Avila of course, and oddly, our new punter - even though he's not a real person.

I rhink @thirteen28 is still affected by getting the bends too often. That's the problem when having a screen door on a submarine...

 

[TK42-RAM]

Avila & Nacua (picked him in my mock so hoping he goes well!)

Well, I can be forgiven: I have autism, and a lot of things tend to go over my head, haha.

It's much better than puking your guts out in rough seas though. Besides, what's a little case of the bends anyway?

 

[Elmgrovegnome]

Zach Evans and Nacua.

Evans is way more talented than his draft position so I don't see how he can't help but contribute and he appears to have a skill set that would help the offense.

Kinda can't help but think, at this point at least, Nacua is a poor-mans Kupp. Much like how I thought Kupp was a poor-mans Edelman when he came out.

But it ended up that EdelmN was a poor man’s Kupp.

So does that mean Nacua will be better than Kupp?

I’m getting confused.

 

[Soul Surfer]

I’m getting confused.

But how confused were you to begin with?

We need a baseline to work with here, dude.

 

[WestCoastRam]

Bummed we didn't have a rookie minicamp to add fodder to this thread. Rams want to just be Rams about it.

McVay doesn't play his core roster players in pre-season. I don't see that changing especially after last year. I want to see how many of the UDFAs play, especially Maginn and McAllister on the OL. I want to see how some of the UDFA CBs play like Cameron McCutcheon.

Powell was a pretty good P and KO returner. I want to see who they are looking at this year. Frankly I was a bit surprised they let Powell go but I would like to see if they use Xavier Smith UDFA WR as a kick returner. This guy is lightning in a bottle running a 4.3 in the 40. If he gets loose he can take it to the house.

I don’t see it with Smith. He doesn’t play that fast. He doesn’t have good body control and lacks flexibility.

He doesn’t accelerate nor change direction well. I think that 4.3 speed is deceiving.

You batisd! Punters are people too! ~ Evans

 

[Loyal]

I am really excited to see Stetson Bennett. He could end up being a fan favorite.

Tiyon Evans is probably my favorite long-shot. “The other Evans” challenges Akers for snaps?

Does Xavier Smith win the Brandon Powell role?

Georgia homer!

I am most excited about Avila and McClendon. Could you imagine all that prime beef in the middle with some formation of Avila, Bruss and McClendon? Maybe Jackson--McClendon-Avila-Bruss-Hav. I want our Oline to push defenders off the ball and to provide Stafford an extra second or two to find receivers. If they can do that, the Rams are going to score a lot of points.
