Why Did Weddle Work The Second Time Around?

Just messing with you bro… thank you

Oh I know! I figured you were

His old body was much fresher imo

1) DL and pass rush peaked at the right time.
2) Small sample size. Not enough out there to game plan against how we're using him.
3) Nick Scott was the deep threat and not him.

yeah, my beer and gorilla glue is right with you.

man..Ive heard more about Gorilla glue in the last month than I did in the last decade

 

[I like Rams]

The real question is, does Weddle want to coach?

I have heard quite a bit about it and decided to try it.

I probably won’t get it again unless it goes back on sale.

I am kind of the opposite of your stereotypical stoner who plops down on the couch. I like to smoke, throw on some headphones and go do yard work.

He already has a job coaching a high school team.

On either Rome or Eisen he mentioned that the big difference was his knees.

The reason it worked out the 2nd time around were circumstances as they brought him in to just be a compliment, but with the injuries and lack of individuals being able to wear the green dot, Weddle exceeding expectations. Plus his comment about not giving the Rams any insights when they were playing the Ravens did not endure him to Ram fans.

Les Snead and the Ram coaching staff made all the right moves when it came to personnel. Raheem Morris was behind many of them. Brandon Powell played for him in Atlanta and it was Morris who was able to talk Weddle into joining the Los Angeles Rams.

Perfecting ending to his career plus Ram fans will always be grateful especially playing with a torn pec that sidelined Joe Noteboom for several weeks.

During his first stint with the Rams IMO there was more lowlights than highlights. Most people were glad to see him go.

Why was he successful this go around?

Aaron Donald, Von Miller, Leonard Floyd and a pass rush that was destroying the opponent upfront.

Didn’t help Rapp at all.

Didn’t help Rapp at all.

The original question was, why was Weddle better the second time around? And the pass rush this time around, which included HOFer Von Miller -- was much better than it was when Weddle was here before. Rapp never has been all that, IMO.

cuz Weddle is a future HOF safety with 2 seasons of rest for his body.
plus he's playing for / in a SB.
I know, I was also for sure we'd regret it & get burned all day in the secondary.
So glad to be so wrong.
he gave us his all, and we won't forget.

Speaking of our boy Weddle, look what I found on reddit.

All I know is that I will not forget his impact this year. I saw a podcast where Raheem mentioned only half jokingly, that Ryan Clark was the next phone call if Weddle turned him down.. Clark, who was present, said,“No way!” That Weddle came off an amateur basketball court to stabilize the Rams backend, makes him a hero to me.

• AT THE STEELERS GAME THIS WEEKEND! We love this guy!
• Legend of the Game: Rams Legend and Super Bowl LVI Champion Eric Weddle will be recognized on the field and featured in the "Rams Iconic" segment, presented by 1800 Tequila, on the Infinity Screen during the second quarter.

 

[ottoman89]

Holy shit, I know I've had 7 beers but didn't think I was fucked up enough to relive Weddle threads. Thought I was back in 2022.

 

[OldSchool]

You guys all know why he worked you're just afraid to say it

Spoiler: Reason

Second time around he had an elite blindside edge.
