    Does the interest in Fairley mean
    the Rams are not happy with Brockers?

    ended up starting a few games.

    You can never have enough fresh pass rushers, imo.

    They may not be happy with Brockers, but the interest in Fairley does not mean that. It means they need more DTs since they lost Langford. They have only 7 DL now, I think: Long, Quinn, Sims, Hayes, Brockers, Donald, and Westbrook. ‘Tisn’t enough.

    Guys, I’m getting old. But I do watch pre-season games. And I don’t really remember this Keenum guy. If a die hard Ram fan doesn’t remember him at all … does that mean he’s pretty forgettable?

    By virtue of the absurd ...

    Indeed.

    You know, these days, you really need 4 pretty good DTs!

    I think they picked him up during the season, after Hill got hurt.

    I think he’s an intriguing player, rfl.
    Kindof a gunslinger.

    They signed him after Bradford went down to be the 3rd qb, which remember was just a couple of weeks before the season, so he never took a snap I don’t think. He was probably mostly neck deep in the playbook.

    the wiki on that –>

    On August 31, 2014, Keenum was waived [by Houston] .to clear a roster space for recently acquired quarterback Ryan Mallett. He was claimed off waivers the next day by the St. Louis Rams. He was waived by the St. Louis Rams on October 28, 2014, in order to make room on the roster for newly acquired safety Mark Barron. He re-signed to the team’s practice squad on October 30.

    On December 15, 2014, Keenum was signed off the Rams practice squad back to the Houston Texans. He filled a roster spot after starting quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick broke his left leg in a game against the Indianapolis Colts on December 14, 2014, and on December 21, 2014 he won his first NFL game beating the Baltimore Ravens 25-13. On December 28, 2014 he won a second consecutive game with the Texans against the Jacksonville Jaguars 23-17.

    On March 11, 2015, Keenum was acquired from the Texans for a 7th-round pick in 2016

    LB Akeem Ayers expected to agree on 2-year deal tonight with Rams.

    Jim Thomas @jthom1

    That was quick. Akeem Ayers has just signed that 2-year deal w/Rams.

    Lots of familiarity in building with Akeem Ayers obviously though Jeff Fisher never coached him in TEN. Gregg Williams/Frank Bush did.

    St. Louis Rams ‏@STLouisRams

    #Rams make it official… Sign Akeem Ayers.

    Nick Wagoner ‏@nwagoner

    My pal @MikeReiss says Ayers shined as a pass rusher in sub packages. I’m sure Gregg Williams has plenty of plans for him in similar role.

    Ayers: “We’ve got a lot of young guys on defense, and a lot of talented guys … I wanted to be a part of a good team and a good defense.”

    Ayers: “I have a lot of excitement just to be a part of this team, a part of this defense.”

    So…is Dunbar gone? Is/was he a FA? I don’t recall seeing his name this off-season.

    He signed a 2 year last year and is still listed on the roster, though that means if he’s still there after the season, he’s a free agent. He is listed as having played on 40% of the defensive snaps last year.

    part of an article from a Seattle source

    http://www.seattletimes.com/sports/seahawks/seahawks-to-consider-qb-bj-daniels-as-punt-returner/

    Wisniewski visits but still undecided

    Stefen Wisniewski, the starting center for the Raiders the past three years and a guard as a rookie in 2011, visited the Seahawks on Thursday. But he is expected to take other visits — the first reportedly to St. Louis — before making a decision.

    Seattle also will continue to look at its options to add bodies up front after having lost guard James Carpenter (signed with the Jets) and center Max Unger (traded to New Orleans) this week.

    “He’s a legitimate starter in the league,’’ Carroll said of Wisniewski on Friday during an interview on KJR-AM. “He really likes us, and we liked him. That’s a potential thing that can happen. There will be some time before this gets worked out. He’s got some visits and all that. He’s a really solid football player and a smart kid and all that, and we’ll see where it goes.’’

    Seattle was visited this week from Shelley Smith, who can also play guard and center. He signed with the Denver Broncos on Friday.

    Wagoner on how many OL they could sign, counting Barksdale:

    Nick Wagoner @nwagoner

    Think two is more likely, three is possible still. We’ll see how market plays out, guys have to want to play there still.

    Chris Long: Drafted 2nd

    Robert Quinn: Drafted 14th

    Nick Fairley: Drafted 13th

    Michael Brockers: Drafted 14th

    Aaron Donald: Drafted 13th

    That’s a lot of #1s.

    this defense at some point has to be more consistent. as much as people talk about how impressive this defense is, they finished in the bottom half of the rankings in total defense.

    i want a top 5 defense. anything less i’d say is a failure.
