I didn't see this posted surprisingly, yank it like your first grey hair if it has been.
It is more of a topic than a thread but it is pretty slow, a lot of recycled info other than the A.D & Fiske teaming up to work out part

Braden Fiske to Train with Retired Legend Aaron Donald Before Rams Camp​


July 3, 2024


In a strategic move to rebuild their defensive line, the Los Angeles Rams looked to the draft, selecting Braden Fiske early in the second round. The young defensive tackle is stepping into a challenging role, aiming to make his mark following the retirement of legendary Aaron Donald. Though Fiske is not expected to directly replace Donald, he brings promising talent that the Rams hope will address the significant void left behind.
Aaron Donald, despite his retirement, is not severing his ties with the Rams just yet. He has taken an interest in mentoring Fiske, a gesture that speaks volumes about his dedication to the franchise. Fiske recently disclosed to Forbes that he would be training with Donald prior to the start of the upcoming training camp, a unique opportunity to learn from one of the best.

Donald, renowned for his relentless work ethic and extraordinary commitment, famously returned to training just one day after the Rams’ Super Bowl triumph in 2021. Fiske appears to share a similar dedication, one of the key traits that attracted the Rams to him during the scouting process.
While it’s inevitable that comparisons to Donald will arise due to their positional alignment and the timing of Fiske’s draft pick, Fiske is focused on carving out his own path. “I have to be me,” he stated, emphasizing his desire to forge his own legacy rather than filling someone else’s shoes. He acknowledges the enormity of the task ahead, fully understanding the legendary status Donald holds within the sports community.

The new Rams recruit has openly expressed his admiration for Donald, repeatedly calling him “the greatest ever” and acknowledging the weight of the responsibility he is taking on. Yet, Fiske is poised to embrace the challenge, focusing on bringing his own strengths and qualities to the team as he steps onto the NFL field. The mentorship with Donald could be crucial in helping him adjust to the professional level and thrive in a demanding environment.
 
I’d like to see the whole DL training with Donald. It would certainly help the young bucks and who knows…could entice Donald for a situational role should the Rams put together a 2024 playoff run.

That's my guess at what we'll see at the beginning of the season, with of course multiple package looks too. Not a bad looking group by any means though, I'd say this group should be middle of the pack and if we're lucky they'll ascend quickly. Hopefully Young & Turner have teams protecting to their side on most snaps which will help out the rooks.

As the season goes on I imagine Davis ends up running our nose tackle job. He's got toughness to him that I think will win out on that interior over Brown at some point.

My biggest concern on defense is the new DL Coach. Been looking at his history and going back a bit...

Bills 2010-2012 were bottom feeders on defense the entirety of his tenure.

Titans 2014-2015 were bottom feeders on defense the entirety of his tenure.

Chargers 2016 were bottom feeders on defense under him.

Chargers 2017-2018 made a big jump defensively. This corresponded with Lynn taking over as HC but also interestingly enough it corresponds with Henderson's addition.

Chargers 2019 slid to 14th then 23rd then 29th after Henderson's departure to the Rams.
 
The Rams have/had 2 exceptional role models from a training and preparation standpoint in Kupp and Donald.

Not to mention both elevate their game through world class technique. Steal everything you can from that!

Make Donald your new best friend, Braden.

I'm yanking it like the first time I yanked it, at the thought of 99 working with our young Dlineman.

Not quite what you meant, but it works for me.
 
When I look at other players training with Donald my mind comes to one conclusion. You can train like him and train with him, but there will never be another Donald. All the DL that ever trained with him have not become like Donald, not even close. The best everyone can hope for is to better themselves and realize that Donald is generational, which Fisk acknowledges.

Looking forward to the DL becoming great!
