That was a nice interview, George is good at what he does

 

[LA_Rams_#29]

If you’d followed Rapp’s career as a Ram you’d be able to tell his short coming’s.Lake is a BIGGER BODY!

I also think penciling in players right now without much NFL experience is silly.

As much as I don’t like LAKE for some reason he seems to proving me wrong.He does make plays,but how consistent is another thing.
As much as player are moving in & out ooff the grass makes it hard to keep up .
—Like I said though is LAKE is coming in consistently as a Dime Package DB ?

Anyone else have an opinion on that ? I mean add that element to 1st. & 2nd string & how fast players are coming on & off the field.
Then add & tell me what number & who these players are in the defensive backfield.

Veteran Ram & BubbaRam sort of FAILED ME!!! Had limited time,wanted to buy them a beer.Thought they had there VIP
seats in front of the DB’s(defensive) field.

Anyways that DB group is going to be FUN.

LMFAO - Sean Mcvay keeps telling us about DK1.He has yet to be at PRACTICE. I’m thinking he might be the next Allen Iverson.
Can’t wait to see Davis Allen though at TE.Talk about a big body in the middle.

If I was drawing up plays & wanted a POWER GAME to close out a game.I might go
Higbee,Hopkins & Davis.Plus Kupp & Akers. Just think of the different options you’d have.

-/If anyone saw training camp & seeing Higbee & Hopkins outwide. I mean those 2 TE’s are going to easily have 1,000 plus yards & 10 TD’s amongst themselves EASILY!!

One thing about Lake... he brought an injury into training camp last year and was late to get going last year because of it.

But in a perfect world... all healthy ... Lakes skillset and size would put him in the Top 2 safeties out of our young group. He was a good player.. a leader on his team in college just like Fuller..

I like our top 4 Safeties and honestly think it's a position that will be a strength for us moving forward.

 

[LA_Rams_#29]

Bruss looked damn good on his Wisconsin film. It's one of the reasons I had high expectations for him. He was physical in the run game and we knew he'd need some time with his pass pro but the guy was almost surely drafted to give us run potency.

He might need more time to return from that injury but fact is the guy hasn't looked like the same dude prior to the injury and now post-injury it looks like he's not showed well enough to compete for a starting gig. So I don't think it was always a given that he would need two years to return from that knee. You just don't know with those things. And this is why it's disappointing to me.

But next man up and all that. What really matters is can we field a strong starting five. And it sounds like maybe we'll get to see a little of the starting OL in preseason so maybe that helps get these guys playing on one sheet of music in the opener

I agree the injury may be slowing Bruss

But they've been high on Anchrum for a couple years now so it's not surprising he's ahead of Bruss now

Good post - Not sure who The Top 4 safeties will be ?

Fuller - top dawg
Yeast- toughness & youth(knowledge Mcvay said maybe from his father?).
Lake- NFL roots as well

It’s going to be interesting who steps up in the preseason.The defense without hitting makes it hard to know.

Why The Rams drafted him so early was a head scratcher.No do overs,but Tutu & Bruss hurt.
They’re Rams & should make the roster,but Zach Thomas is looking good at LG.Can he switch to RG ?
The rotation & Wendle coaching is going to be interesting if not,very surprising?

The Vikings even giving Bobby Evans a chance shows the lack of quality O’Lineman in the NFL?

Buckle up - Bruss playing RT shows me that this RT from Georgia is going straight on the pup list & might not be seen all season. The NFL’s redshirt list.

 

[fanotodd]

Any of the above I’ll take on.

Hopkins & Higbee together have 1,000 yards & 10 TD’s in 2023combined.

I have to reinstate that though,because know REPORTERS are TELLING YOU THAT!! CGI honored me a few years ago as a Ram camp reporter.

Higbee is GREAT. Probably The Best Rams (all around) TE as a RAM ? Of my time ?

Jared Cook with his Career numbers in The NFL has better numbers (we’ll compare)

Brycen Hopkins is a player U couldn’t be more PROUD OF!!
I talked crap 2 years ago.Have followed his career as a Ram pretty good. I think he looks GREAT. Coming out of camp is my favorite Ram(underdog) for 2023.

Cook was a disappointment for the Rams. He might make the occasional nice catch, but he dropped too many easy ones and didn’t block worth shit.

He played better against the Rams than for them.

 

[fanotodd]

This team lacks experience not talent and that should be rectified from November onwards.

This is the hope. ^^

There will be several rookies/2nd year players either starting or getting significant PT in certain packages, but the Rams need a couple or so to come out hot—“getting it”.

If the Rams can get that in the right spots, they might be able to win a couple big games early and stay in contention until, say, November. I can easily see this roster becoming dangerous towards the end of the season, but the Rams open up with back to back division games. They need to surprise at least one of those teams, preferably the 9ers.

 

[Faceplant]

This will not be a dominate line... but with health it will be in the top half of the league.

I see no evidence whatsoever to support this

Rams Training Camp: Ernest Jones Emerging as Defensive Leader Alongside Reenergized Veterans​

Jones, a third-year linebacker, is stepping up on a young Los Angeles defense.

• ALBERT BREER
• 7 HOURS AGO

Back end of our two-a-days here in Orange County, with my Saturday night Rams takeaways …

1) Maybe the most noticeable thing (or one of two most noticeable things, we’ll get to the other in a minute) out here was seeing healthy, reenergized superstars Matthew Stafford and Aaron Donald. Stafford is wearing a sleeve over his right arm, but he told me this is the best he’s felt in three years, and you can see it in the way he’s practicing. And Donald looks like, well, Aaron Donald. This is an exceedingly young team, of course, and there’ll be bumps, but it’s hard to imagine a team with those two guys firing on all cylinders wouldn’t be competitive week-to-week.

2) Third-year linebacker Ernest Jones looks like he’s taking another step from a leadership standpoint. Jones has got the green dot on his helmet, and will be controlling traffic from his inside linebacker spot. His job will be important, too, with (again) all the youth on the roster, and turnover at spots around him in the front seven.

3) Left tackle Joe Noteboom has come back strong from his Achilles injury, and that’s great news for an offensive line group that still needs some things sorted out. Noteboom still has to win the job from Alaric Jackson—left tackle is one of three spots on the team’s line, along with center and right guard, open for competition—but having two potential answers at the most important spot is a definite positive. Between that and the addition of rookie Steve Avila to the mix, new line coach Ryan Wendell has a fighting chance to turn around a unit that really struggled last year.

4) The running back room had its issues in general in 2022, but that’s another spot where there should be a turnaround. Cam Akers has had a nice start to camp, and second-year man Kyren Williams has managed to turn heads for the second straight summer—his rookie year was short-circuited by a broken foot Williams suffered just before the season began. The Rams see a lot of James White in Williams’s game, and that sort of player fits nicely as a complement to the bruising Akers.

5) O.K., now we can get back to the second noticeable thing from Saturday’s practice. At one point, Sean McVay blew the horn and brought the team together, and addressed them all at once. It looked almost as if practice was over and, timing-wise, the team was at that point of the schedule. But instead of ending it, McVay extended the practice for another half-hour or so, which to me is a sign of where the team is. It’s a young, new group, and that’s brought energy both on the roster (especially in turned-over areas like the secondary, where Derion Kendrick, Cobie Durant and Russ Yeast are playing prominent roles) and the coaching staff (with Wendell and Nick Caley bringing Patriots background under new OC Mike LaFleur). But it’s also meant there’s a lot of learning going on. And sometimes, that means staying late to do it.

Let’s start from the beginning & go from there.

Last thing Sean Mcvay wants is any injuries.My guess is your a Raheem Morris & or DK1 hater ?
-(not sure,asking?) DK1 has yet to get onto the grass this preseason & Kupp has been put on ready reserve for now

Whiterspoon played for the niners & Steelers which seems like that could be the them.9ers win in Pittsburgh (lost to Bears @ 2022) then on there back to back road game loss to The Rams at SOFI.

The Hags have WHAT you CALL The Rams on defense? If you’re talking The Rams on offense?
1 name - Matthew Stafford

I’m looking at the bright side now.Where 9 training camp practices in. Kool-aide is flowing
SEVENTEEN & ZERO baby!!

It’s all how you want to look at it.,The Hags have 2 2nd year CB’s & a rookie.
Upfront there NEW & Never have played together on defense.
Talk about their offensive line!! Have you EVER seen AD99 in full camp mode & then The NFL season ? You’re talking The Best EVER maybe going up against a O’Lineman that maybe has not seen tackling.(Sean Mcvay doesn’t get that,Poor Boom)
live.
If you had seen Steve Avila when AD99 had pads you’d lol & go WOW.

.

1. Stafford also wears a compression sleeve on his (?) leg,which comes to attention as well is he’s worried?
2.Eric Henderson has The D’Lineman trying to control where they want the offensive lineman to go. That means it might be easier for Ernest Jones to read.( Superbowl & Raheem)The haters might not know the Significance of the green dot.
3. Cam Akers - his last 4 games 100 yards were with a weak Offensive Line & no TE support.
K.Williams did miss training camp,so his first season out the gate. -can go on…………..
4.(3)O’Line /— just going to say 5 Best will play (start).
James White ?? I have another name ,I’ll bring up (use)
5. Sean Mcvay sometimes would take the team to the locker room. I just think he is FIDDLING with The Practice Rules when he stop’s practice.Which is how thorough he is.

BTW- F- NE & Belacheat

The nose. I thought Brown would dominate this season, but early reports don't indicate that. Who else can play on the nose? Rams like to use a lot of 5 man fronts even in nickel.

 

[El Chapo Jr]

Bruss already not being considered a starter. Guess we missed again on drafting a lineman?

 

[Ram Ts]

The excitement of so many young players, stafford healthy and McVay energized is great. But there is a reason (multiple reasons) Vegas/etc has us around 6 wins and in the bottom 5-7 teams this year: OL, young/inexperienced D, weak LBs and lack of pass rush.

It’ll be a fun, transitional year - but expecting 9+ wins seems way overly optimistic.

The negative commentary trickling out regarding our lines has me a bit in the dumps, with lowered expectations for sure. The Niners in particular are very physical and always think they own us, and I’m over that.

 

[bubbaramfan]

Breer is wrong about one thing. RG in not up for grabs, Anchrum has that locked down.

 

[den-the-coach]

Breer is wrong about one thing. RG in not up for grabs, Anchrum has that locked down.

Jourdan has reported that too, plus last year you communicated about Anchrum looking much better there and it is apparent that new OL Coach Ryan Wendell & OC Mike LaFleur agree. Hopefully Anchrum can stay healthy and get a chance to start the whole season.

 

[den-the-coach]

Bruss already not being considered a starter. Guess we missed again on drafting a lineman?

I don't look at it that way, first of all, he was a 3rd round pick plus give the kid sometime before we can make a full evaluation. Tremayne Anchrum has been improving since he has been drafted, so now we get to see what he offers at RG.

I would agree and say he doesn't seem like a complete miss yet if that makes sense, however, gotta say it's highly disappointing that he's already been ruled out as a starter at guard as there is no way he is unseating Hav as a starter.

 

[Tumak61]

That's good, but he did last all of one play last season.
