    Rams Waive Four Players

    Following the conclusion of the club’s offseason program last week, the Rams have waived four players: wide receiver Marquez North, linebacker Reggie Northrup, center Demetrius Rhaney, and outside linebacker Teidrick Smith.

    Of the four, Rhaney was a seventh-round pick in the 2014 NFL Draft, and has appeared in 32 games for the franchise. He was mainly a special teams contributor during the 2016 season, during which he played in all 16 games.

    Los Angeles now has three centers on its roster: starter John Sullivan, Austin Blythe, and Jake Eldrenkamp. Sullivan was signed as an unrestricted free agent in April. The Rams claimed Blythe off waivers from the Colts in May. And Endrenkamp was signed as a college free agent following the draft.

    The Rams’ roster now stands at 86 players. The team will report to training camp at UC Irvine in late July.

    The center position has undergone a complete remake.
    We will probably add a QB or two for training camp.

    Clearly they’re not entering training camp with only two QBs whose starting experience totals single digits. That’s gotta be addressed at some point, no?

    The OLine continues its makeover.

    Other than the new LT, who is an old grizzled all-pro,
    are there any NON-question-marks on this new ram offense?

    Hav is playing a new position
    JB is playing a new position
    Center is a question mark
    Saffold is always a question mark because of health
    WRs? Any of them NOT question marks?
    TEs? All question marks.
    Gurley? Question mark.
    Goff? Question mark.

    wv?

    Blythe plays guard in the last video. Donald is the RT. This line also had Sherff as the LT.

    John Sullivan Cements Status as One of NFL’s Top Underrated Stars with Extension

    Few have been better at the position since 2009, when Sullivan first took over the starting center job in Minnesota. He’s started 93 of the last 96 games for the Vikings, all while steadily developing into one of the league’s most dependable interior linemen.

    In fact, “dominant” might be the better word.

    According to Pro Football Focus, Sullivan has graded out as a site’s top center in the league since 2011. His plus-81.7 mark is rivaled by only the New York Jets’ Nick Mangold, who has a plus-79.0 grade over the last four seasons.

    Sullivan finished as PFF’s best center in 2012 and third-best in 2011 and 2013. He slipped to 12th last season but still managed positive marks as Minnesota’s best offensive lineman.

    The guy behind Sullivan beat him out. That made him a Cap Casualty. He had some injuries. He was a good center once. Does he have anything left?

    There just weren’t a lot of great options at offensive line this year. They did fix the most important spot. Beyond that they just did the best they could. This is more than a one year fix. Next year the line will evolve again as they try to improve it. He will probably have HIS line in two years.

    I think they will be better at the WR/TE spot. They HAVE to be.

    My big two concerns are Goff and Gurley.

    If Goff looks erratic that’s a major issue. And if Gurley can’t fix whatever was wrong last year—that’s another major issue. And that will make the Goff issue worse.

    Mason Cole is going to be available in next years draft. We need to get him if available to us. And Center is going to our biggest need.
