Easley Injury (Season Ending)

Easley Suffers Season-Ending Knee Injury
So who will the Rams look to in order to fill the void? McVay sounded like there will be a lot of competition between the inside pass rushers. “You see guys like Ethan Westbrooks. I think it’s going to make Michael Brockers that much more important not only in base, but in some of those sub packages that we’re running. You look at a guy like Tanzel Smart. I think it opens up the door for Louis Trinca-Pasat — a lot of guys that have done some good things,” McVay said. “But now they’ll get an opportunity to compete with some of our guys that we’re expecting to start, and we’ll see how they do.”

Appears that McVay is up to date on the main three DE's who are in direct line to fill the Easley vacancy. He already has Westbrooks in with the 1st team & now they have inserted TCP & one would guess that rookie Tanzel Smart is in the batter box to fill in on our DL. I agree with McVay it does make Brockers the current best talent on this DL.

Thanks. That was a time when I was young, avid, and a little dumb. I was living deep in the heart of 9er country. It was Halloween weekend and the 9ers were going to LA to play the Rams ('84?). I figures, WTH? So I bleached Ram horns in my hair. I think notching the beard was a great touch, don't you?
...we lost 33-0.

Meet the former NFL quarterback who now weighs 500 pounds

“We went about two months hardcore, but we had to put it on delay because with Gunnar, his schedule got too busy,” Lorenzen said about his regimen. “We’re going to get back going hardcore again in about a month.”

This says a lot. When you're 500lbs, you shouldn't be taking any days off. Being undisciplined is what got you there in the first place. Hitting it "hardcore" for two months and taking time off doesn't work.

Hopefully he's not taking a break from changes to his diet, too, because when you're that weight, diet is 99% the issue. Calories in, calories out. It's not complex.

Snead: if Donald decided to not report, it's something the organization "has to respect."

Show up for work Donald. If not, pay the fine without a word of bitching.

No work, no pay. It's that simple.

I just completed a contract. A new position was negotiated just prior to the contract's end. There were negotiations beginning in March but I still showed up everyday to fulfill my end of the contract. There was no respect lost in the process.

Give it a rest already. If last year was some sort of indictment of anyone, the entire offense including Gurley would be gone.

Its not just last year Tavon has never been a good NFL receiver. All Im saying that is not all on the coaches. He has been a good running the ball but it doesn't make any sense to pay a WR what he is making for being a good runner and returner. Im not the only who thinks his game is lacking. Every time McVay speaks about Tavon he talks about his speed and wanting Tavon to become a more complete receiver. On the other hand he talks about Woods as a guy who can play inside outside and win short, intermediate, and deep. When you consider all the more important guys the Rams have to resign it doesn't make sense to pay Tavon what he earns, for the role he fills unless he improves big time (like 1,000 yard receiver good). Based on what I have seen that level of improvement at this stage of his career is unlikely IMO.

MMQB: L.A. Rams Preview - 10 Things You Need to Know

L.A. Rams Preview: 10 Things You Need to Know
ANDY BENOIT

1. Jared Goff’s rookie season should be analyzed with a few grains of salt. He wasn’t ready to play, but with practice time so limited in today’s NFL, he had to play in order to get the first team reps. He was operating in a bad offense for a coaching staff that knew it probably wasn’t long for L.A. (and it wasn’t). The circumstances were horrible.

That said, Goff must throw better than he did. Plain and simple. He was inaccurate on too many routine plays. On passes 11 to 20 yards downfield, his rating was 27.9. But here’s the positive: despite his circumstances and paucity of help from his O-line and receivers, Goff still willingly played from the pocket.

Early on he tended to take his eyes off the field and look at the pass rush, an ultimate no-no for a pro QB, but he got past that as the year progressed. He knew the hits were coming and still stood in there firmly. That is a critical, encouraging sign.

2. The offensive line has been reshuffled drastically. First time head coach Sean McVay and his offensive line coach, 17th-year assistant Aaron Kromer, got rid of left tackle Greg Robinson, who took the art of mental mistakes to new heights.

In Robinson’s stead is 35-year-old Andrew Whitworth, who can still play. Blind side solidified. The Rams also signed brainy 10th-year pro John Sullivan to direct traffic at center. Over on the right side, they slid 2015 second-round tackle Rob Havenstein to guard, where he should play with better balance.

And they moved backup guard Jamon Brown to tackle, where they love his strong hands and feet. It’ll be a better front five . . . as long as everyone stays healthy. The one concern is depth. There isn’t any.

3. With a revamped O-line, Todd Gurley should be better. But understand: Gurley held some culpability for his poor showing in 2016, it wasn’t all his blocking. He didn’t see the field with the same clarity that he did as a rookie.

4. When McVay was designing plays as the offensive coordinator in Washington, he had the game’s best pure receiving tight end, Jordan Reed. In Los Angeles, McVay has second-year man Tyler Higbee, who did very little as a rookie, and athletic second-round pick Gerald Everett, who will likely have a rookie’s learning curve.

5. There isn’t a single mismatch-making piece in the passing game. Some might see Tavon Austin that way, but there’s a reason the 2013 first-round pick has averaged 410 receiving yards a year. Austin can get lazy on deep routes, and as a slot man he hasn’t shown the necessary nuance and patience to win underneath. At this point, he’s a gadget player.

6. Know this about Los Angeles’s defense: it has a lot of speed at all three levels.

7. Wade Phillips is as respected as any defensive coordinator in football, but one whisper about him across the league is that he can be predictable in coverage against untraditional two-receiver formations. In Denver, offenses would get Phillips’s linebackers in unfavorable man coverage scenarios against running backs and tight ends.

But maybe it won’t be a problem in L.A. Linebackers Alec Ogletree and Mark Barron are both ex-college safeties who can run. They’re more equipped to cover than Phillips’s Bronco ’backers were.

8. Don’t worry about Aaron Donald transitioning to a new position in Wade Phillips’s “3-4.” It’s not really a 3-4; Phillips plays what amounts to an aggressive “4-3-under” scheme out of a 5-2 structure. That means one-gap assignments for most players.

It’ll be interesting to see how often Donald aligns as a three-technique and how often he aligns as a five-technique (the position J.J. Watt played for Phillips in Houston). On passing downs, Donald can play all over.

(Last season, defensive coordinator Gregg Williams even used him regularly as a nose tackle in 3-3-5 nickel fronts.) Donald’s initial movement is too explosive, no matter where he aligns.

9. It’s a big year for Robert Quinn. He was the most dynamic edge rusher in the league in 2013 and ’14. But injuries have since tolled, and Quinn hasn’t consistently shown the same bendability and speed. Quinn will play on the weakside edge—the same spot DeMarcus Ware played for Phillips.

10. The secondary will make or break this defense. Trumaine Johnson is just past the line of demarcation for a true No. 1 corner. But what will the Rams get from their No. 2 spot? They’d like to see Kayvon Webster, Phillips’s former No. 4 corner in Denver, fill this role. Webster is equipped to play along the boundary.

In the slot, Nickell Robey-Coleman and Lamarcus Joyner are capable cover guys and two of the best blitzing DBs in football. Robey-Coleman likely gets the nod so that Joyner can become a fulltime free safety. His speed can correct the centerfield range that this secondary lacked after losing Rodney McLeod in free agency.

Good for your daughter she missed that "opportunity" to meet Tre.

Attitude is so important in life for success.

If only the Rams would have flown out to hand the sweet prince his personal invitation for camp, we might be blessed with his presence. :rolleyes:

To me, there is no argument... all are important... but, if we're saying only one... then especially the first one.

I agree. Get out of the gate organized. I am prepared for some bumps the first couple of games.

But a foundation that shows potential needs to be established!

Give us more than just a glimmer here or there... give us some real reason for hope. Show us that this team is disciplined and can execute on a fairly consistent basis. Not one great series, followed by ineptitude.

Then, I'll be excited!

Jared Goff's father: 'He's going to be great. He's never not been' - Los Angeles Rams Blog

Rmfnlt
A couple thoughts:

1] Another article saying Goff had a terrible year? Uh, gee, thanks Captain Obvious
This much no one can debate - Fisher and his coaches had no clue how to devise any offensive game plan
resembling the NFL level. I think it was Gurley (?) who referenced Pop Warner (or something like that?)?
So trying to extrapolate much of anything from Goff's play last year is just plain silly

2] His father believes in him.. funny... what's the man gonna say? "Gee, he looked really bad last year... not sure what
he'll become now" :LOL:
