Winners & Losers from Pre Season GM 1 (grain of salt)

[Ram_Rally]

I would think he sees better competition in practice every day going against Turner, Fiske and Ford. They will know what they have in him, I hope.

Yeah he's not gonna face bent better defensive lines than that.

 

[Ram_Rally]

Watched him serving 'pancakes' over on X -- FOUR of them. Other plus plays as well.
I don't care how tall he is. I just want a stud OC for once. It makes a major difference in the offense when the DL can't push him into the QB's lap all day long.

They say low man wins, so just draft linemen who are already closer to the ground!

I remember every pre season Jim Jodat tore it up and then was never seen again in the regular season.

After watching Paul and Dolac, Reeder shouldn't even sniff a roster spot or a place on the practice squad. Get this fucker as far away from this team as possible. This spellchecker shit has to stop already, fucking irritating. Besides, it doesn't even help some posters.

I really don't want to lose Dolac for Troy Reeder. The other three seem safe.

Too damn early.to decipher this.

The disrespect here is feverish, can't anybody spell McClendon correctly, damn guys. It's like reading something from SO Ram.

That is a 10 out of 10 insult

I rewatched the Cowboys game. My quick assessment was I saw more of Dolac than Paul. Dolac moves a lot more fluidly to the ball than Reeder who seems to be stuck in cement a lot. I didn’t get a feel for his coverage skills but very few are worse than Reeder. IMO If Reeder is kept it’s very short term while the rooks get acclimated but I don’t want to risk losing Dolac to another team. He’s a ballhawk.

Personally I prefer McLemon.

I recall the same. Dolac made some really nice plays, got washed out too, but he looks to me like he'd be a machine behind our starting DL because opposing OL are going to be more tied up rather than running loose at the snap to get second level.

Didn't Paul miss time? It seemed like he was just acclimating. He got washed out too, but didn't seem to be as active.

Though that's from one watch-through. Could be that Paul did more than I thought. But I still think this ILB group is night and day over previous years. We have a depth chart now.

Personally I prefer McLemon.

Or McLovin!!

Or McLovin!!

If he actually plays well vs a good draw we can go with that.

Just my opinion here but I think with Speights and Landman penciled in as starters, Dolac and Paul have to be on the 53 because if they're not, we're losing them. They might not even make it to our PS before getting picked up by some LB needy team.

 

[Boston Ram]

I seen 1 other person mention this player but DB Josh Wallace had a nice game for himself as did Acuri on the line. Only mentioning those two since I hadnt seen much about them. I actually thought RB Hunter had a meh kind of game. Little too anxious at the line and didnt let holes develop, seemed like put his head down too soon...That will come in time though and it was his first game so Im sure he was amped up to make an impact.

Overall, I was really impressed with the whole operation. Rams came out on a borderline mission. They looked focused and had a little attitude as if they were trying to make a statement. Had a different feel than the last couple of years. Very business like and they played to win. Starters looked engaged and paying attention. For a preseason game it was actually pretty entertaining and overall was pretty crisp play.

I agree. By the time these preseason games are over Dolac will need to be kept on the roster. And Paul by his draft position alone is the same. Which means our top 4 is pretty much set at ILB at this point. Expecting 4 from this unit, though Dolac could cement that if he kicks some ass on teams for now as well.

That depends on if he is given reps against the #1s.

 

[Londoner]

I hope the Rams protect Lampkin, he has the potential to be special.

He could become a perennial Pro Bowler, and you'd still get ROD banging on about Creed Humphrey!

I'm sure he's gotten at least one on ones.

lol. idc as long as whoever is our OC isn't either a turnstile or a bonehead.

Except when he returned an onside kick for a TD

I do like how Hunter keeps driving his legs forward. He made an extra 2 or 3 yards on every carry from just that.
