Is it possible we take another look at Nate Holley now. He was the rookie of the year in Canada and we have some experience with him.
Ex-Rams hopeful Nate Holley attempting NFL comeback after CFL cancelation
The Los Angeles Rams could use some help at linebacker this season after the departure of Cory Littleton, and one of their former training camp hopefuls is attempting to make a comeback. According to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, ex-Rams safety-turned-linebacker Nate Holley…

Boo, was just thinking how I liked the diversity of possibly having Howard and Kiser both on the field. Thought they’d compliment each other well at ilb. Oh well, next man up. Hopefully next man isn’t Reeder.

I know we will do that frequently, but I'm not sure we're going to use that set up as much as we did under Wade. Rapp needs to be on the field, and he surely will as now he's the starting safety along with JJ.
But honestly I'm not so sure that putting an extra safety, who would be a rookie.....or one of our smaller Nickel CBs, which all of them are smaller..... I'm not so sure that using those type of formations as much as we've done is the past is the a better option that using an ILB that can play the pass, and withstand downfield blocks in the run game. That was a problem for us. Late last year when Howard starting getting more time on the field, and we used 2 ILBs more, we seemed to be a more stout defense.
We do have versatility to use a variety of formations which is a good thing, but I'm hoping that we keep our ILBs on the field more under our new DC.

Yeah what happened to Patrick playing ILB? He flashed big last preseason as OLB, right? I heard something about him working with ILBs earlier this offseason, then nothing.
I believe you answered that yourself... He has only flashed as OLB.
He might be showing well this season at ILB (maybe media types haven't noticed him) but even if so we probably won't know until the regular season.

Didn’t the Bears give him a tryout recently? If he is still available AND affordable he might be worth a consideration from the Rams!
If the Rams could get Tree in here on the cheap to compete I'd be all for it.
the rams are trying to become a better run defending team. how does ogletree fit into that plan?
.
If Lewis flashes early, you could see him more at OLB and Leonard Floyd more inside. That or they play more 3 Safety sets with either Fuller or Burgess.
I think the plan is to redshirt Clay Johnston--- i.e. let him fully recover from a college knee injury and let him get physically stronger and bigger.
Not looking forward to Reeder playing. Every time he makes a tackle, its for a 5 or 7 yd gain. he rarely makes a tackle for a loss.
Kenny Young next man up, better athlete, however, still will be a liability in coverage.
If we change the term “scrubs” to “players who would be backups on any other team” then I could give you a like and agree.
