It appeared at one point that he could have been a starter, Long out injured, Robinson not yet drafted, Saffold a Raider.

Number 91 on the pack owes him a dozen jelly donuts. He's single-handedly put that guy on their 53!
 
My prediction, he will not be wearing a RAMS jersey in two weeks.
 
Hooey looked like a guard being shifted outside in an emergency. He got beat by several different guys.
 
Just like I was saying before the game, he is god aweful and should be one of the first cuts.
 
Yep..... he is real bad @ Left OT...should never see that post again in this pre season. However Hooey held up much better @ Barksdale's Right OT post than he did @ Jake Longs post. Bad thing here Hooey looks to be the best ORT we have currently to back up Barksdale.

Other reserve OL'ers like Bond-Joseph-Rhaney-Barnes & Person have shown no ability to play ORT or we would have seen it. RJ Dill replaced Hooey @ ORT and was much worse than Hooey @ ORT. Maybe we may see Van Dyk getting some reps @ ORT instead of being a OLG.

The Cowboys had First round pick Zack Martin playing the right side @ ORG & ORT tonight. Seemed to do very well.

IMO, Person will end up being the guy who is the "jack of all trades" guy to make the 53 man roster. Hooey, as you pointed out, is serviceable at RT. But he will be at best the 5th option at LT and won't likely ever see a snap there come Sept.

If they do in fact keep 10 on the OL. I think Hooey just may end up being the 10th guy. Van Dyk and Rhaney just are not ready.
 
If Hooey is our next best option at right tackle we need to scour the cut lists and try to add someone.

Rams do need a reserve right OT. This Snead & Fisher team have completed three drafts now in which they drafted just ONE OL'er in the first two days of each of those three drafts....that one just happens to be an instant starter @ OLG. If this forum is disappointed in the OL play naturally .....there may need to be some more future investment in OL'ers during the first two days of the draft in 2015. Rams current reserves Barnes (WWC), Joseph (UFA), Bond (WWC), Person (WWC) & Hooey (UDFA). Zero is the number of OL'ers currently invested from the Ram draft picks in the Rams OL reserves. Still its good to recall that two of the top Ram OL'ers are out due to health issues.
