    Why should Michael Brockers be the happiest guy in the world? Coach Rick Venturi tells us when talking to Randy K. and D’Marco Farr. Venturi really loves the Rams draft. He thinks he got real football players and was excited about almost every pick. He thinks that Joyner is a poor man’s Honey Badger, a tremendous get, just a playmaker.

    Good friend of the program Rick Venturi joined JMV to talk all things Colts. Coach Venturi gave us his opinion on the recently signed Vincent Brown, his opinion on Dwight Lowery, what he can bring to the Colts’ defense, what Venturi thinks the Colts might do with the 29th pick in the draft and how many game changing players there are in the draft in his opinion. The second segment with the coach was all about the NFL draft. Listen to what coach Venturi thinks about Jameis Winston and Marcus Mariotta.

    Venturi does not think that Winston or Mariota are blue chip players. He has 17 blue chip players in this draft.

    Rick Venturi joined JMV to talk about what the Colts can do with the 29th pick, what are the best running backs on the board and what quarterback could go first in the draft.
    More stuff about the draft.
    I believe, somewhere Venturi talks about Scherff and Collins. I can’t seem to find it, now. I believe he said that Scherff is a better version of Martin and he is basically a guard. Collins could be an all pro RT or G and that he can play 4 positions on the line.

    Coach Rick Venturi joined Sports Open Line discussing Rams possibly moving to L.A., the NFL Playoffs and College Football Final.
    Then he talks about the Rams of last year and their issues.

    Venturi … talks about the Rams of last year and their issues.

    (In the previous post) Venturi discusses the Rams team (and not relocation stuff) starting at about 7:20 in

    His take… he sees what we all see:

    2014 big disappointment

    supposed to be break out year

    good elements on the team, but they’re plagued by inconsistency and mistakes

    potentially top tier defense …. not sure about secondary

    teams worry about the defense especially the front

    have to fix qb (this was before the trade)

    don’t have a number 1 guy outside, solid guys … Quick don’t know yet, Austin a gadget guy, Bailey a between the numbers guy, Givens fell off the table

    Cook inconsistent as all hell

    OL issues, though they have Saffold and Barksdale is solid… is Robinson a left tackle?

    Pretty decent at RB

    A common theme in Venturi’s stuff is that he favors play makers. We know Fisher wants to play defense and run the ball. Does Fisher favor play makers? What does this mean for the draft? I guess we have to wait and see. 😉

    Ah, here it is. At about 16 minutes in. Randy says he talked to Venture and Venturi says, “Scherff is the Zack Martin of 2015. ….Collins is a 4 position guy. I love both guys. ….Scherff and Collins are Blue Chippers and Nasty Men.”

    “……. Scherff is a superior athlete with viciousness. ……. I like Collins as player …. much better than I did Robinson last year.”
