Okay, so which “new” Ram player has been most valuable through 2 games?

[Rams43]

I love ‘em all, of course, but I’m gonna go with Brandin Cooks. He’s blown the doors off of my already high expectations.

Best 1st round pick spent since Aaron Donald, himself.

Not an easy choice since Suh gives us possibly the best DL in the league, and Talib/Peters give us possibly the best CB tandem in the league.

An embarrassment of riches, no doubt.

Since Goff, you mean? Lol

 

[FrantikRam]

I really can't even vote. Talib and Peters are tied for me.

 

[UKram]

i dont wanna pick and you cant make me !!!

 

[IBruce80]

I went with Cooks as well.
There is a bigger picture to how well they are all contributing and playing.
Cooks made some brilliant catches and I'm excited about the receivers we have now, plus Gurley receiving.
We have a lot of targets spread around but I hope Cooks will get the numbers and have a huge season.

I think all four have been outstanding for us. Which is crazy.

I knew Cooks would fit McVay's offense, but he's better in the scheme than I thought he'd be.

I thought Talib was getting a little long in the tooth and had risk there, as well as the combo of him and Peters who has worn out his welcome everywhere he's been. But both of them have been locked in.

And Suh I was wrong about too. Never have liked him, but he's more intelligent and a better team guy than I thought he was.

Front office deserves a lot of cred.

 

[HE WITH HORNS]

Cooks has the numbers to back it up already.

 

[Rams43]

Since Goff, you mean? Lol

Aww Geez, Castamere.

You got me there. Gurley has been a pretty good pick, too. Lol.

 

[Mackeyser]

Where the heck is E) all of the above?

 

[EasyE]

offensive line.....

 

[HellRam]

For me it's Talib. He's a elite CB who has been a tremendous leader as well. Cooks was close, but the Rams offense was already top notch before his arrival. The biggest improvement has been on the D.

 

[Akrasian]

All have been outstanding, but I went with Peters. First week was dominant, even with a pick 6. Did they even throw at him in week 2? In any case, he has been about as good as he could be.

 

[bubbaramfan]

Suh has been a huge upgrade and his presence has nipped those long runs early in games. Pushing the pocket back into the QB so he has to get the ball out quick. Takes double teams almost every snap, getting AD and Brockers one on one and LB's time to move up.. Suh clogs the middle.

 

[…..]

Maybe its Sam Shields....he's averaging 1 interception for every 11 snaps he's in.

 

[den-the-coach]

Cooks has been amazing and BTW the kid throwing the Rock to Cooks might not be too freakin bad!

 

[ReekofRams]

To be fair you really should be asking who so far has looked the best on defense. Other wise it's too lopsided, especially when comparing a skilled position on offense vs defensive positions.

 

[Ram65]

All have made a big difference.

Cooks stands out because of the position and the easily seen production. Long, short and in the middle pass catcher. I stated in another thread that his 17 targets was a little surprising with Kupp, Woods and Gurley in the mix. It shows how much McVay believes in this player. His combined offensive yards with the two pass interference penalties is close to 350 Yards in only two games. Hard to top that.

 

[Oregonram]

Cooks reminds me of a combo...
A little bit Henry Ellard
And a little bit Harold Jackson
And if he continues to win contested jump balls, then throw in a little bit Jack Snow too!

 

[yrba1]

Hard to say but I'll go with Cooks. When teams are stacking the box against Gurley, he'll make the most of his opportunities, that 57 yard bomb from Goff involved an excellent adjustment on his part.



I expect teams to gameplan around Gurley and Cooks down the road and it's gonna lead to Woods, Kupp, and hopefully our TEs feasting the intermediate zones.

 

[pmil66]

Cooks has been outstanding, not surprised by that. Expected good play out of the others on the list
Blythe has played very well at RG, filling the void left from Browns suspension. He is keeping the job for now, his good play has been very valuable.
