    official announcement:

    …

    ramsman34

    B Scott had 4.4 speed coming out of college. If he still has that, he’s faster than all the other backs, although Z Evans supposedly ran 4.45 so they are close. He could be a perfect returner and I am sure they have plans for that.

    I believe Corum gets pass pro and blitz pick up, he just hasn’t done it much or at all at the pro level. I would expect to see K Will/B Scott in there on gotta have it/known passing downs this season. Once MCV really trusts Corum, he’ll get more of those reps.

    Let me just speculate that he hasn’t done it at a pro level because he hasn’t played at the pro level. Spitballin’ here.

    Obscure factoid.

    Rams new 33 year old offensive assistant/passing game specialist is Nathan Scheelhaase. Scheelhaase coached at Iowa State from 2018 through 2023, where he was in different years the RB coach and WR coach, becoming the offensive coordinator in 2023. 

    So Scheelhaase was an Iowa State offensive coach in the years when Brock Purdy was there (2018-2021).

    Okay more on Scheelhaase:

    from https://cyclones.com/sports/football/roster/coaches/nate-scheelhaase/1996

    In his first season as offensive coordinator, Iowa State improved offensively from 20.2 points in 2022 to 26.2 in 2023. The Cyclones greatly increased their big-play ability, scoring a nation’s-best 11 offensive touchdowns of 50-plus yards.

    Redshirt freshman Rocco Becht was named Big 12 Offensive Freshman of the Year and Second-Team Freshman All-American after passing for more than 3,000 yards and 23 touchdowns while breaking nearly every ISU freshman passing record. Becht’s 23 touchdown passes were the most for an ISU QB since Brock Purdy tossed 27 in 2019.

    Iowa State was 31-for-33 (93.9) in the red zone, leading the Big 12 Conference and ranking seventh nationally.

    Senior Bowl director, Jim Nagy  on Senior Bowl players in this this year’s Rams draft class

    …

    Jim Nagy@JimNagy_SB
    Here’s what #RamsHouse fans can expect from@seniorbowlrookie class:

    DT Braden Fiske (Round 2, Pick 39)- Top P5 riser in entire ’24 class. Disruptive penetrator with best get-off quicks & snap anticipation in DL class. High-end athlete with enough position flex to start right away. Force multiplier will raise competitive bar for rest of roster.

    DS Kam Kinchens (Round 3, Pick 99)- Young early-out junior with playmaking ability in deep part of field. Ball skills are top asset (11 INT past two years). Good functional range belies suspect 40 time. Miami staff raved about toughness & overall makeup. Should seriously push for starting role as rookie.

    OLB Brennan Jackson (Round 5, Pick 154)- Fun-to-watch high motor player adds rotational pass rush help & immediate core ST value. Ideal frame & fit for 3-4 OLB. Wish he didn’t get hurt in Mobile because he would’ve opened some eyes. Like Fiske, this dude never stops!

    DT Tyler Davis (Round 6, Pick 196)- Good value pick as NFL-ready backup 3-tech behind Kobie Turner. Quick & strong-handed run-downs plugger. Plays bigger than measurables suggest. 5-year starter & team captain at Clemson fits Rams character profile.

    PK Joshua Karty (Round 6, Pick 208)- Big-legged kicker that many specialist gurus we consult with thought was one of best PK prospects in past 5-10 years. Thought he might go 4th/5th round. Has leg talent & mental wiring to be long-term answer.

    C/G Beaux Limmer (Round 6, Pick 217)- One of best value picks of draft. Inside swing depth upgrade should be fourth IOL behind Avila, Jackson, & Dotson. Mature, no nonsense dude with 41 college starts. Strong Senior Bowl week & elite Combine numbers (36.5 VJ, 39 bench reps). Head-scratcher he lasted til 6th.

    Only comp pick Rams will get next year is the one for Raheem Morris. No player comp picks which makes sense given how much the team spent this offseason.

    Listen to this short vid and note the Rams rushing success rate percentages in 2023 compared to the rest of the league.

    Yeah, the running game was special last year.    I know it wasnt as electrifying as, say, the best Gurley year, but somehow last season seemed more…real.   Nothing gimicky.   Just line up and boom.
