This is why many of us have been pissed at the lack of attention the OL has received early in drafts. You dont find talent like Avila in round 4, and given all the misses lately in the middle rounds it's nice to have one young potential elite OL talent to build around.

That's not true tons of examples look at Seattle last season they got a great starting rt in the 3rd.

I really want to try to be optimistic about this team but these preseason performances continue to support my feeling that our depth is not good and if we get any injuries to our starters - we are in deep doodoo

Help us Obi Wan Donald - you are our only hope

The organization really needs both Young and Turner to hit and become above average NFL starters. The dearth of players along the DL/OLB is so bad in this team outside of AD. Especially the youth.

Hopefully a couple of the others will develop over there next 1-2 years.

We should be scouring the waiver wire for potential quality young guys cut that play along the front 7 D to bring in.

I think Rochell played his last down as a Ram

Based on what I saw last night only: Out of position, Slow, hesitant and avoids contact. PS at best.

Enough of this nonsense.

If anyone wants to have an amicable discussion about our rookie, back up QB, we already have a Stetson thread.

Enjoy.

Jim Mora, interview legend ladies and gentlemen.

From 11 Personnel:

Rams really already impressed with Allen already with the limited practice and preseason he has. Def #3 tight end and only because Hopkins had such a good camp.

Don't think it's a LONG shot that Long is not on the 53 come cut down (IR, cut and practice squad, etc...)

The more tough decisions they have to make at cutdown, the better it is for us as fans... As long as they make the Right ones.
Going to be interesting.

How is this disagreeing with me? Sounds like you are saying that the Rams drafted him to play, what we are now supposed to believe, was the wrong position. So far, the move to LT has not gone any better. Knowing all of that, how is that not them getting this wrong...at least from what we know so far? Not trying to pick a fight, I am just asking, because it sounds like we kind of agree?

No worries.

I have a hard time thinking he is really at 100% after such a devastating injury. Couple that with switching positions and I’m more of a mind to give him a chance to figure it out than thinking what we have seen in 1+ preseason games is the final product.

The Rams policy of picking players out of position is hopefully over with this year’s draft.

I don't know that Saffold plays for the veteran minimum; and, I don't know that the Rams offer more than the vet minimum.

Also, I believe Saffold has been at Left Guard almost exclusively; and Avila is at LG.

Valid points.

I would still love to see him finish in Horns, though.

Still waiting on hearing these Woodward and Bernstein wannabees explain how the Rams would have absorbed the 100 mill dead cap hit

Details haven't been on their list of needs for years. And don't get me started on FACTS.

I think the Niner D line will destroy the new Ram O line. No running game and Stafford will be under siege all game. Gonna be ugly.

ok....we will run behind Avila with Aaron Donald as blocking Fullback and Royce Freeman getting a piggy back ride from Mr. Donald

That's putting it mildly. LOL

We'll look to improve for the Playoff run. If a deal is worth it we'll make it, if not we'll stand pat.....

What better show than to see and hear 2 Ram greats talk football. I remember watching these 2 play, and now it's cool to have them discuss the sport.

If I wanted to add anything it would be to hear stories from back in the day.

Square was getting some praise from a couple different watchers the last few days.

Yeah he was a missile out there running around. Was very sticky to his guy. Of course, he was playing against bottom of the barrel talent so who knows how that'd translate but I'd love to see him get extensive time this next game because I've seen enough of our other linebackers to know we need someone else.

My wife and daughter flew out to see Taylor Swift at SOFI a few weeks back.

What kind of loser Ram fan am I that they made it there before me.

Dang Sweezy getting straight up abused in a lot of those highlights.

Come on, guys... it isn't THAT hard...name the 5 current Rams (to answer the quiz question) who have TWO names (both first and last) from the list I included at the top:

4 Johnson
3 Brown
3 Tyler (and a Taylor)
3 Davis
2 Evans
2 Williams
2 Allen
2 Thomas
2 McCutcheon
2 Jones
2 Zach
Earnest and Ernest

So, Earnest Brown is one right answer

One of the answers is a guy that @Memento said should NOT be cut.

Hint: Davis #27 had a terrible game vs the Raiders...

Just throw around combos of the above names and you'll get there...

I was too young to watch Baughan play, but watched quite a bit of highlights and old games to understand how vital he was to George Allen's Rams in the late 60's. My Grandson's name is Max and I call him Maxie because of Baughan. RIP Maxie, we will no longer know your like.

There are 8 games to be played before the trade deadline, some team may have to deal with an injured LT.

There is definitely the possibility of a sucker born everyday but when have we done good trading with Snead? I can't see the Rams wanting to trade draft capital to get rid of Noteboom. His contract is terrible and NFL teams aren't going to line up to save us. If they do trade him, I hope we do find a sucker tho lol
