    I thought Whitworth gave up one. Guess not.

    #Rams Marcus Peters is not using his injury as an excuse for his play last week: “I feel hella good. Coach wouldn’t have let me go out there and play if I didn’t feel good. I feel 100 percent.” On the TD pass he gave up to Lockett: “I got beat. I gotta keep my eyes on there.”

    Asked if he he’s playing to his normal level: “Nah. But it’s football, baby. That’s the beautiful thing about it. You’re gonna have these weeks like this, to where it’s going to be a struggle to get in the flow of some shit. They made some plays, they made some big plays.”

    Peters on being able to move on from bad plays: “I had the fuck it syndrome for a long time. Ever since I was a little kid. My mom was like, yeah…that’s just him. When he says fuck it, it’s fuck it. But it’s part of the game. I learned that trait early in my career.”

    Aaron Donald said the Rams’ defense is “itching” to get back on the field and play better run defense, which he said will lead to better pass-rushing opportunities.

    Seattle offensive guard D.J. Fluker didn’t seem too impressed with the Rams’ defense: “They haven’t seen a team that’s played physical. They want to be pass rushers. They haven’t seen a team go out there and actually take it to them every single play.”

    Aaron Donald on this: “He said something smart? We’ll see. We’ll play them again.”

    Here’s one for the Rams fans who suffered with the 1-15 team in 2009. That team scored 175 points in the entire season. The 2018 Rams have scored 173 points in 5 games.

    #Rams have signed former #Saints fourth-round OT Rick Wagner to their practice squad.

    Rams sign Rick Leonard (not Wagner) to practice squad

    ===

    Rick Leonard
    No. 73 – Los Angeles Rams
    Position: Offensive tackle
    Height: 6 ft 7
    Weight: 311 lb
    College: Florida State
    NFL Draft: 2018 / Round: 4 / Pick: 127

    Career history
    New Orleans Saints (2018)*
    Los Angeles Rams (2018–present)*

    New Orleans Saints
    Leonard was drafted by the New Orleans Saints in the fourth round, 127th overall, of the 2018 NFL Draft. He was waived on September 1, 2018 and was signed to the practice squad the next day. He was released on October 2, 2018.

    Los Angeles Rams
    On October 9, 2018, Leonard was signed to the Los Angeles Rams’ practice squad.

    …

    Rick Leonard has the size (6’7″, 311 lbs) NFL teams want, but he’s a raw prospect who will take a patient coaching staff to mold him into a contributor. He’s a converted defensive lineman who has the speed and power to become an NFL offensive lineman, but his technique and fundamentals are still far behind many of his peers.

    …

    Pos: Big-bodied tackle best on the strong side. Blocks with proper lean, keeps his feet moving and stays square. Strong at the point, effective with his hands and blocks with leverage. Displays terrific vision and awareness, keeps his feet moving and plays with a nasty attitude. Explosive at the point and fires off the snap into blocks.

    Neg: Lacks footwork and overall agility. Does a bit of bending at the waist. Cannot slide off the edge and overextends in his attempt to stop pass rushers.

    Analysis: Leonard showed development last season and has the underlying ability to eventually develop at the next level but will need time to finish his game. He’s likely headed for the practice squad this fall.
