Day 1 of OTA's with JB Long and DeMarco Farr

Hey, just saying, Crosby is an elite edge. He’s wasted on the horrid Raiders, but he’s a cut above the vast majority of edges.

I think you'll find that a lot of people would put him in top 10 as a pure edge rusher and I think the Athletic guys have him as 6th best (and he's really good as a run defender!)

But, to your point, no one knows that cause of how bad the Raiders are.

A few things I’m now pretty sure of…

Yeah, I could see a slow start because of schedule, but I also believe the young Offensive Line could improve week over week including the run game propelling the Rams to close strong with an assist from the young defense.

This year I am actually going to watch each game take some notes as I expect certain players to continue to grow each week like TE Hunter Long, CB Shaun Jolly, WR Tutu Atwell & OLB Bryan Young. My hope when the dust settles our Los Angeles stand at 9-8 with many things to build on and throw in a talented coaching staff assembled by Sean McVay, who also proves he is committed to chase perfection with the hope of capturing excellence.

I can see that if we have a reasonable number of injuries on our defensive side.

The two key players that can't be injured on the defensive side are Aaron and Ernest. If either one goes down for a long period of time, we are in deep trouble.

Rams sign WR Tyler Johnson

All this for a possible #6 WR? They are still without a kick returner. He will be lucky to make the team on STs.

The kid produced a game-sealing DPI against Green Bay (in the NFC Championship, no less), played and produced when Tampa Bay had many great targets, and was dominant in college.

I’m not guaranteeing he makes it, but he’s not just a sixth receiver (although I’m secretly hoping Cleveland cuts Jaelon Darden - who is a returner - so I can have my Madden dream of having him and Tyler Johnson on the Rams. …Don’t look at me crazy; I predicted Ramsey, Stedman Bailey, T.J. McDonald and - ugh - Zac Stacy.).

Rams DB Cobie Durant Blossoming into Leadership Role

I think the combo of Durant and Tomlinson could be special. I'm really liking this young group. They look like a group that can make plays on the ball which is what you want in modern coverage.

I love those two as well. High expectations for me on both.

The third CB is a concern. Which is not the worst thing to have for a secondary but unless someone steps in that will keep you from having a top defense. Of course there are multiple reasons I don't expect a top defense and it's not just the secondary. But the secondary should not be as much a weakness as the media is expecting it to be. If Fuller plays well and these two kill it we could end up with a pretty good group surprisingly enough.

Change 5 plays to change Rams history

One thing that hasn't been mentioned.
Sam Bradford doesn't get shoved out of bounds and blows out his knee on a late hit by that dirty Panther player.
That would have changed things for sure. If he doesn't get it hurt once, he doesn't reinjure it the 2nd time and eventually retire early because of knee problems.

We were at that game and pretty close to where it happened. He was in severe pain and I knew his season was over.

Rams First Round Pick Survivor....

oldnotdead
The problem with rookies is that they have proven nothing. It takes a couple of years to know what you have in them. Trading for a vet means you know what you are getting and what you aren't, i.e. either they fit the offense or they don't. Take someone like Penix and the Rams have a whole year to coach him up. That said, Penix is very close to a first year starter type of rookie.

I would like them to draft a QB and have him at an affordable price for 5 years, but that means a learning curve and all the issues that come with developing a young QB. As we have seen McVay isn't the most patient coach when it comes to developing players. When it comes to QBs they are either his guys or they aren't. If they draft a QB it's not going to be a developmental type of guy IMO and the vast majority fall into that category.

Regardless, next year's draft looks to be a very interesting one.

I am excited to see what the Evans brothers bring to the table and if both of them get playing time during the season, most fans will continue to mix them up during the season, what more could you ask for?

International Travel For Mobility Impaired. Help!

Thanks man..... I can still walk a couple hundred steps and don't quite need a scooter. I have since found that when you buy your ticket and getting a boarding pass(?) with a handicap designation. I think you call your connecting airline, which in my case will probably be Lufthansa, will send a representative with a wheelchair. They will take you to a restroom, if needed, through security and to the gate. The luggage will be an issue because even if you check it through to your final destination, you still have to claim everything and take it with you for inspection/security when boarding in terminal 5 (International gates). I've written to those who handle issues like this at Ohare and am waiting for a response.

My wife can walk about a 100 steps but she gets tired really easily

So after 100 steps - she is pretty much done for the day

The scooter is really nice and most people are very polite to you too and will let you by with no problems

Rams’ approach to new kicker seems much wiser than NFC West foe 49ers

Watch Rams P Ethan Evans' booming punts from senior season at Wingate

At No. 223 overall, the Los Angeles Rams selected Wingate punter Ethan Evans – a name unfamiliar to fans. He was the first Division II player drafted this year, but the Rams feel they’ve uncovered a diamond in the rough with the powerful punter. During his seni

The Rams look to have a real weapon with their new punter who can also back up the place kicker on KOs and short range FGs as well. I don't have a problem with them having a PK competition in TC. They got a good look at them in OTAs but no word on if one or the other stood out. Both PKs look very promising coming out of college.

Christopher Dunn won the Lou Groza award for the top college PK last season and he also outkicked Jake Moody at the combine. Dunn was the only kicker to make all of his FG's including both from 55 yards so that is encouraging and Special Teams Coordinator Chase Blackburn had a good read on both Evans & Dunn being that he was with the Carolina Panthers & Evans kicked for Wingate (Hendersonville NC) & Dunn kicking for North Carolina State University.

Rosenbloom fell in love with Pat Haden because he had a suite to watch all the USC Home Games and Haden was a great college QB, who led the trojans to some great comebacks. Plus Haden being a Rhode Scholar conducted himself well, so CR just liked Haden, ensured the Rams drafted him and actually forced Knox to start Haden over James Harris, who Knox preferred.
