Rams trade for Titans CB Rodger McCreary

[PhillyRam]

I think it is some insurance with his versatility and may allow Lake some flexability. It's a very low risk low capital move, typical of Snead & co.

Yeah, and if Lake were to ever miss time, we would be screwed... so he gives us some insurance inside.

Relax, nothing more than me fat fingering the reaction emoji on my phone.

Fair enough~ Feel like changing it? You can do that to those not so sure emojis you usually give me.

Titans fans comments are pretty good.

Prior two years was his rookie season and his second season was where shit all fell apart and the coach was fired if I have the timeline correct. Not gonna look it up as it doesn't really matter, Rams will of course try him outside first because then they don't have to move Lake who has been playing at a plus starter level.

Whereas him playing outside he only has to be better than one of them, none of whom have really wowed anyone in coverage.

Good points.

It's probably not super important that he was a rookie and shit fell apart in his 2nd season because their numbers still reflect that he was good inside, bad outside. I'm assuming he's better across the board though since he's developed as a player. I was just highlighting that the metrics reflect his differing levels of performance depending on role.

But I fully agree with your other points. I'm sure they will try him outside because Lake is elite in the slot. McVay said as much, too. And yeah, it probably doesn't take much to unseat Durant and Forbes.

Before the trade, I didn't see the sense in acquiring him given Lake's play, but I'm warming up to it. The depth can't hurt and we didn't give up much at all.

The down side is it creates a topic and opportunity for fans who know very little or nothing about him (read: 99% of Ramsnation) to question the wisdom of turning a fifth round pick into a sixth round pick for a non-shutdown CB when there were so many others available. Particularly a night after we all saw how the acquisition of Ramsey has totally strengthened that stifling Steelers defense!!! We were all hoping for a fuck them picks Von Miller move weren't we?
