    I watched Obo all night and they played that boy into the ground…he was exhausted…but still he came on. There were two plays I can think of where Obo forced the QB into another players arms for the sack or forced bad pass. That stuff doesn’t show up on the stats but *can* be just as important as getting a sack.

    The Rams’ ILB group also lacks depth. Cory Littleton is a second-year starter, will play alongside Bryce Hager, who has long been on special teams but will full-time starter for first time. They’re joined by Travin Howard, and rookie Troy Reeder. Micah Kiser on IR.

    Rams GM Les Snead on Saturday, if there’s been any progress on a contract extension for QB Jared Goff: “Out of respect for Jared and his group, I don’t want to make it public on those things. I do know this, Jared wants to be a Ram for a long time, we want him to be a Ram for a long time and we will continuously try to work to make that happen.

    Another takeaway from cut day with the Rams: Special teams coordinator John Fassel is given a HUGE voice in the room as to who fills out the final 4-5 spots on the 53-man roster. If you stand out for him on special teams, you certainly increase your chances of making the cut. (See: LB Troy Reeder, WR Nsimba Webster, OLB Natrez Patrick, S Nick Scott).

    The decision to waive DL John Franklin-Myers was the single most surprising move on cut day. Franklin-Myers contributed last season, and through offseason discussions it seemed the organization was looking forward to his development in Year 2. “It’s more of a credit of not what John didn’t do, but what some other players did do,” Sean McVay said. Franklin-Myers had two sacks and a forced fumble last season, and also contributed a sack in the Super Bowl. Several defensive line teammates were optimistic Saturday that Franklin-Myers could return on the practice squad.

    One day altered the landscape of the coming season. Seahawks address a major need with a great player. Chiefs bolster one of their only weaknesses on offense. Texans mortgage the future for a chance to stay relevant. Dolphins tank for Tua. What happens next?

    “Sean McVay is a genius unless he cuts a player I like”

    – Rams fans

    Keith DeHaas@KeithDeHaas
    McVay is a genius and no fan can possibly have the insight he has concerning which players to cut. However, that doesn’t mean he can’t make a mistake.

    “ You’re sitting in the press box and you’re going ‘Woah, wait, who is (jersey number) 14? Who’s this (WR) Nsimba (Webster) kid?”
    – GM Les Snead

    According to Snead, Webster impressed with both his return and coverage skills on special teams.
    That versatility, along with maximizing limited reps, ultimately played a big role in Webster securing a spot on the roster despite the Rams’ depth at wide receiver.

    Nsimba Webster is the Willie Mays Hayes of the LA Rams except he did it on a championship team!

    The Rams were not awarded any players on waivers, per source.

    The #Browns have released left tackle Greg Robinson, but they intend to sign him back, source said. He’s their starter.

    This is strictly a procedural move by Cleveland. Robinson is not subject to waivers, he’s going to re-sign and he’ll be with them Week 1.

    Spotrac@spotrac
    The release of Greg Robinson initially clears $6.4M of cap space for the #Browns, who will likely sign him back at a slightly smaller salary after Week 1 to avoid a guarantee.

    The quick exit of third-rounder Jachai Polite from the Jets included more than $100,000 in fines imposed by the team for tardiness and other infraction

    I’m thinking possible that Lawler eventually goes to IR, Kelly to 53. But have to see what recovery time table is on Lawler.

    #Rams had 5 players claimed off waiver wire today. Only 4 other teams have had 5+ players claimed off initial waiver in the last 20 years
    2018 CLV: 5
    2013 GB: 5
    2010 GB: 5
    2010 NE: 6
    5 claims is tied for the 2nd highest in last 20 years
