jourdan rodrigue on practice.

Here are just a few excerpts.

On Wednesday afternoon, the Rams released inside linebacker Travin Howard, who had some big moments in the latter part of the season/postseason. My understanding is that the move was not related to any injury or off-field detail, and the team could very well bring Howard back at a number even lower than his current original-round tender ($2.54 million) if he clears waivers. With Aaron Donald’s restructured contract in place as well as Kupp’s, the Rams are squeezing their finances where they can.

A highlight of offensive coordinator Liam Coen’s press conference Wednesday came when he was describing the way veteran linebacker Bobby Wagner moves. Coen, who especially in installation periods takes a “back-to-front” view of the offense so he can try to see the field the way Stafford sees it, said of Wagner (who is usually directly opposite Stafford): “He’s such a slow, patient mover,” said Coen, who clarified — he’s not saying that Wagner lacks speed; he’s saying that the game moves slow for Wagner because of his high football IQ and elimination of wasted movements. Coen even demonstrated, crunching up his torso and swaying from side to side.

“The way he moves, he’s just so quiet and still in his movements. Great communicator. Does all the right things, smiling all the time in the building. Such a great pro.”

Interior defensive linemen Bobby Brown Jr. and Marquise Copeland appear to have taken a step forward this spring, in both OTAs and in minicamp.

There was a whole lot more, but you get the flavor with these three, I think.

i found this particular quote interesting.

i have high hopes for bobby brown iii.  this guy has all the ability in the world.  no joke.  but can he translate it onto the football field?  could be a huge difference maker for this defense.  brown and the edge rusher opposite to floyd is what i’ll be watching for most.
