Who starts at LB

[RamBall]

How often will the Rams have 3 LBs on the field together? Maybe 5-10 plays a game? I'm thinkin big nickle will be the base D and they can pull a S and add a CB as needed.

 

[Frogbelly]

I wondered why he was still in the game so late.......

Like others I thought this spot would go to Forrest, but after looking at the pre season snap counts, Forrest is way behind. Littleton may be the surprise starter. I don't have snaps for the vikings game, but the defensive snap counts for the first three games are as follows:

Littleton- 70
Grigbsy- 37
Forrest- 22

Special Teams Snaps

Forrest- 38
Littleton- 31
Grigsby- 17

Forrest will obviously be a heavy special teams contributor, but Littleton may be the guy at SLB.

One huge problem that leaves you with zero backup safeties.

It would leave Lamarcus Joyner as a back up safety to both safety posts & as your 4th or 5th corner.

 

[A.J. Hicks]

Littleton really popped in one of the preseason games. I remember mentioning his name in the game thread. The guy is a smooth athlete

 

[WestCoastRam]

There's a "can't see the Forrest for the Ogletrees" joke here somewhere... I just can't quite make it.

It has to be Forrest. He is the only one with size.

Forrest may get the first shot at it...But Littleton has played the best...followed by Grigsby....

If you don't give a crap how you look at it then why ask?

Because you have to know he doesn't give a shit.

I like the speed of Littleton. Ton of energy there!

But I'm kinda thinkin we'll have Ayers back if they don't hurt his feelings too much with the pay cut.

 

[BonifayRam]

Ogletree, that might be it. Would think that we will see Ogletree sided by #26 & #31 with #25 & #38 on the field behind them. Sure do not see Gregg installing a rookie when he can have all these young vets with 5,4, 4 & 3 yrs worth of game experience. Like LACHAMP46 reminded us Mo sure flashed playmaker on one series where he played OSLB'er & had back to back tacks for looses.

 

[Psycho_X]

I think Ayers will be back after his salary isn't guaranteed.

Anyone recall that sideline interview with Ayers possibly training his replacement, early in those OTA's/practice days ? Ayers said there were several comparisons even he could identify with regarding Forrest.
