I am curious as to what you people that say the rams could find someone better than Barnes, what exactly have you seen that makes you think that he is just "ehh"? jrry32? Tron? This was only his second game starting.
Short, squatty guy that lacks arm length. Limited athlete. Plays smart, fairly technically sound. However, Hicks's length and agility gave him issues. Barnes isn't a liability but he's going to struggle against longer, more agile DLs. He lacks both length and agility. That hurts him. And he's not really overpowering either. Like I said, he's not a liability out there and is definitely a good backup but I don't see much more than an ehhhh starter. I'm hopeful Barrett Jones will catch on but I have concerns about his lower body strength and balance. Still, I think Jones has more potential.
I don't dislike Barnes, I just don't see a good starter in him.
Appreciate the reply. He is 6'4" so I don't get the short comment. Realize he is somewhat limited in athletic ability but glad he is getting the opportunity to prove himself on the field. He is a very hard worker and very intelligent.

Thanks Tron appreciate the response.
I think jrry is referring to his arm length, not his height. As for his analysis, its spot on, but I think he has a little more potential than jrry thinks. Not saying he'll be a pro bowler, but I think he can be better than an "ehhhh" starter
Thanks.no problem man. I am no scout or GM, and often i am wrong, but i am still good at giving my personal opinions on things lol
welcome to the forum btw!!!!!
Watching the game, I felt Saffold was amazing. Barnes? He was ehhh. Ideally, we could find someone better...but he's fine as a backup.
