Rams 2019 Draft Picks?

It's sounding unanimous on Rapp--bullseye.
Long: needs work. He was hit and miss because he seemed late on plays. That's just "thinking instead of seeing." I don't know how much he will improve between now and after the next camp, but I wouldn't consider him as a front runner to start at any spot right now.

Edwards: looked bad in camp, was impressive at LG, was up and down at RG. Teaming with Evans seemed like a good idea though. I can easily see him starting next year. Ideally, I would like to see him at LG if Noteboom can handle LT. NBoom looked much better at LT as a rookie than did at any point this season at LG.

Evans: flashed potential in a couple games and did a decent job, considering, but I'm not completely sold on anointing him as the new RT.

Henderson: meh. Yeah, I saw a FEW good plays, but he's too small to carry the load. If Gurley vanished tomorrow the Rams would still need to draft another RB. That's why I'm not so sure they shouldn't consider doing just that if the right guy is there. The Rams are lacking speed at the position overall because I just don't see Henderson as a work horse.

I think the Rams did well in finding at least 1 starter at both OL and in the secondary (Rapp and Edwards). Should Long and Evans become starters, then the 2019 draft ends up being significantly better in trying maintain a contending roster.

How Rams' usage of 11 personnel changed from 2018 to 2019

I'll keep repeating that I hope McVay mixes things up every game. Meaning using both 11P and 12P with some 4 WR sets variations. You have to keep defenses guessing and make them prepare for everything. It's time to get Everett more involved. Using Everett in 12P the Rams can go quick-paced and not allow defenses to substitute players. I imagine he will still use more 11P but, keep getting closer to 70 or 65 percent. Rams need to be able to show a more physical offense when needed.

Black Monday Prep: Coaching talent on the move

When I saw this article... all I thought; “Thank gawd we are not the Broncos”... rehashing Shurmur as our OC.

Shocked by this move by Fangio, should have given Rich Scangarello more time, however, I'm sure Fangio feels he's on the hot seat and feels strongly that Shurmur is an upgrade. In fairness after leaving the Rams Shurmur had positive results in Philadelphia & Minnesota, which enabled him to get another shot as Head Coach, but as I predicted two years ago, Shurmur was a mistake as Head Coach, but he might be a good match for Drew Lock and for some odd reason I really want Vic Fangio to succeed.

Sadly, Tony Romo Will Never Win a Super Bowl

I sorta enjoyed his style and incite when he 1st started. I'm tired of it now... especially his constant guessing about what the next play will be by the offense. He's CONSTANTLY doing it... and he's WRONG more than half of the time. He needs to cut way back on that.

I was relieved when I got a new set of announcers after his game. His schtick wore me out before halftime.

He's good... WAYYY better than his old tight end in the booth. But he needs to get away from the constant GUESSING. Somebody needs to tell him that his current crystal ball is broken.

McDaniels to Cleveland? (Now a Donut Thread) Because Donuts Are Far More Relevant Than The Browns

IIRC McDaniels is the type of coach that is rigid in using his system. Didn't he try to makeover the Rams offense despite it not having the right personnel?

either way he didn't get the Cleveland job ( change the thread title). He may be counting his blessings. I wanted to like that team but it's tough to like any team with Beckham on it. They have some douches on defense too. Plus Mayfield has gotten too big for his britches. He needs to drop t the celebrity and get back to work.

he had bradford taking 7 step drops when it was apparent to everyone with eyes that the oline could only block for 1 second. and that 1 second was them falling over with the rushers running over the top of them. he set bradford back years with his system.

PFF's top-graded Ram on offense: TE Tyler Higbee

I totally agree with this, however not sure they (coaches) think Kupp isn't best used as a pure Slot receiver vs a #2 receiver lined wide. Maybe run 2 tight end with Everett lined wide? Wouldn't mind trying it.


Lining Everett up outside is a part of what I thought they would do when they first drafted him. They have done it on occasion. With the 12P the Rams can run a quick pace offense not allowing defenses to change personnel. Moving Everett around can create mismatches. IIRC Kupp's ratio has been about 2 to 1 slot vs lining up outside. He can do both. I don't see a problem with rotating the three WRs. I thought McVay needs to give defenses more to think about. He might have learned a thing or two from the new DC about how defenses see the Rams offense. It will be interesting to see how the Rams offense evolves with McVay and two new coordinators coming together.

POLL- Does Clowney get fined for the hit on Wentz?

Well...

In the spirit of the folks who said, “he’ll get a fine but he doesn’t deserve it”... now I’ll say, “he didn’t get a fine but he sure as hell deserved one.”

NFL got this one wrong IMHO.

Their own former VP of officiating called it a “cheap shot.”

To me, this reeks of the NFL saying, “move along folks, nothing to see here.”

IMHO Clowney was head hunting, but apparently there was *just* enough ambiguity that he got away with it.
