I think Williams and Witherspoon is a legit camp battle at best. I don't think it's a given.

There’s a lot of posters here I respect.I might get into about certain players.

I’ll start with Joseph Noteboom.The Rams Trust in him.How The Rams didn’t see that they needed to upgraded is(was) SAD ! I drink the Kool-aide.We’ll see how that goes down ?? Actually excited 2see.

Alaric Jackson won the LT spot.His 2 game suspension really hurt The Rams,but exposed them not having a swing Tackle. I’ll
STOP there !!!

Ahkello Whiterspoon is Jake Ellennovens Man!! He’s had him on his show Twice!! Ahkello is a different CAT - He’s his own dude.I remember him as #23.We as Rams Fans couldn’t have seen how good Kyren was going to be!! I’ll say I was TOTALLY WRONG.Meaning I thought Cam Akers was going to be The Man. My GF loved Kyren,he was running wild.Don’t be surprised to see him having more passing yards. Jarquez Hunter I’m giving thumbs up on.The competition should be good.

The beauty of training camps & the Drafts you can see certain players & how they fit.I’ll trust what I’ve seen.

Ahkello is one of the Rams I cheer for the most.When he is on The Field The Rams do better than when he’s not. Between the 2 23’s the last 2 seasons the stats will show that.
The last time Ramsey was a Ram was the worst in Sean Mcvays his HC career.

It’s also FUNNY how people forget about things.I’m guilty of it,but The saying of umpire or referee.The good ones you don’t notice there there. Darious is player who started & helped The Rams WIN the Superbowl.He wasn’t the CB that people remember.
-Have to give Cobie Durant his props as well.

That was the plan according to Snead. With a young front 7 they wanted steady, smart, experienced DBs. It seems to have worked.
And the line should only get better. Hopefully the corners don't regress a little.

They're as good as the pressure the defensive line is getting IMO.
I actually think the secondary vastly improved after the bye and really showed up toward the end of the season. Clearly, the Dline steadily improved. But our DBs stepped up as well.

Obviously, if the Dline is making QBs throw quicker, it helps the DBs. But the opposite can be true as well. And I saw several times where the QBs had to double clutch or move instead of just throwing. So in those cases, the DBs were giving the Dline more time to get after the QB.

It’s never a one way street. Dline helps the DBs and LBs. DBs help the Dline.

Is the secondary really all that bad?
Well, when people pointed to these three games to assert that the offense was atrocious, many, and IIRC you included, asserted that the scores were so low because of the bad weather. If so, that also applies to the defense.

Also, do we really want to use those three sucky teams as the measuring stick?

That could have played a part against the Jets I guess, but not the Niners and Cardinals. The Cardinals game was at SoFi. The Niners game was at Levi’s Stadium. I would never claim that weather inside the dome or at San Fran played a part unless maybe it rained at Levi’s stadium.

The biggest factor for the Rams low offensive score, that came out later, was that Stafford had some broken ribs from a hit sustained in that game against 49ers.

But that has nothing to do with how well the Rams defense played, unless Kyler Murray, Brock Purdy, and Aaron Rodgers all had broken ribs too.

They definitely improved down the stretch. Those 3 games and the Vikings game they help opponents to single digit scoring. The Seattle game was a like a preseason vanilla defensive scheme. I don't think we can pin the playoff loss on the secondary considering 3 touchdowns were long runs by Barkley and Hurts.

The way they played down the stretch I feel a lot better about the back end of the defense than I did midway through last season. If they continue to improve, with that line they can be a top 5 defensive team. Never would thought I'd say that in the post Aaron Donald era.

Fair enough. You're right that at the time there were complaints about the offense and weather was brought up, we didn't know about Stafford's ribs. That said, I think it's great they held those teams to under 10 but in fairness none of them were good teams.

Not great but not bad teams. Arizona ranked 12th (23.5) in points per game and San Francisco ranked 14th (22.9). The Jets were 24th.

So holding them below 10 points is pretty good.

Forbes still looks like Dave Chapelle in a football uni

View attachment 70974
Arms are big enough for CB, but dude looks like he has skipped leg day, since H.S.
No thighs whatsoever. Hard to drive through tackles with weak thighs.
If he didn't he Should have spent offseason
focusing on leg strength.

I don't know this kids commitment but he should have pulled a Fiske.
Fiske has been working on strengthening his muscles around the knee he
injured in Playoffs.
The man has been at Rams facility the entire off season!!!
With that work ethic and non stop motor Fiske gonna be scary!

Maybe force Forbes to spend a summer with AD. LOL
