Rams Waive Burgess and Blanton

[Flatlyner]

Dang, I remember thinking how much of a steal Burgess was. He was playing good football as a rookie. Guess he hasn't been the same after the injury

Are you sure you don't misread the quote? It should state Evans.

 

[OldSchool]

Our last day two Safety taken what a waste of a pick. And yet another TE we couldn't develop.

 

[Psycho_X]

Williams and Lake being added? Or maybe Shelton.

Making room for who?

 

[Merlin]

It's about time with Burgess. I am still pissed we kept his ass over a better safety that we lost last season. Great guy by all indications but not good enough.

Blanton I appreciate what he did in that playoff run for us but we need smart players who can win in run & pass at TE. Best wishes to both but it was time and there's some others who fit that criteria who are still on the roster.

McVay needs to send a message and cut Evans. I have a hard time understanding why the Rams haven't snagged a Guard from someones PS. They wouldn't be any worse than what we're currently getting out of Evans.

I think you are right in that Burgess' very serious injury must have rendered him not quite the same player thereafter. He looked good as a rookie and then completely fell off. You don't usually see that with players so young absent injury or other external factors. He was also well regarded coming out of college at Utah. Too bad.

Does this mean Jordan Fuller & Quentin Lake are now ready ?

 

[NJRamsFan]

Given all the 1st and 2nd round picks we've traded in recent years we certainly cant afford to be cutting our 3rd rounders 2 years later....

Well, it would send a message all right, and thats why he wont be cut, at least not immediately. The message it would send is how the Rams could have a guy on their roster for 4 years, and yet not realize how awful he is.

They can when he's playing like Evans.

He was beaten out by another rookie drafted two rounds after him when he was a rookie. Burgess is a bust. The Rams keeping him around as depth has not changed that.

Damn you I'd forgotten that this piece of turnstile of an OL was a 3rd round pick. I need to hit the liquor store now thanks

Yeah, that's the only thing I can figure out about Burgess, because I remember this board being pretty excited about what he was showing before he got hurt.

For an UDFA they did fine with Blanton. Helped them get to a SB when Higbee went down.

I wish I could forget ...

Not sure why McVay cut two scrubs. I don't think that is sending a message. I guess he is just making room for two other guys?

Expected Kyren Williams to be activated though they could cut one of the RB's active too. Colemen coming back as well I believe.

Yeah, he already had called up TE Jared Pinkney to the 53. I'm guessing either Fuller or Lake will take Burgess' spot. jmo.
