OT's vs DB's ? Third week of the season & I thought some unusual changes to the make up of the 53 player roster took place. Rams added two additional Ol'ers ( 6-8 345 pounder Max Starks & 6-4 300 pounder Mike Persons) to an already heavy 10 player OL cadre. Subtraction in the area of the DB's ? Safety Matt Daniels & CB Quinton Pointer are elsewhere. So Rams go from 10 DB's to 8 and from 10 OLers to 12.
I sure have no issues with this just seems odd to me. Guess the healthy return of veteran Darian Stewart along with a healthy veteran Mat Giordano provides the needs Fisher desires currently. Going with four CB's is light but with safety Rod McLeod being the back up to Cortland Finnegan in the Nickle fills out nicely. I still recall the 2011 season & the shortage of healthy CB's ....guess I am still a little sensitive in that area.
I can not ever recall any previous Ram team ever having 12 Ol'ers on the 53 player roster. Not that I am complaining.
I believe Quinton Pointer is still eligible for the practice squad again because he was active for 6 games in 2012 but not active for any this season. Rams currently do not have a corner on the PS. if someone has better knowledge please let me know.
