    from https://www.therams.com/news/early-2020-position-outlook-cornerback

    Troy Hill: Emerged as a starter in 2019 after Aqib Talib’s Week 5 rib injury and set new career-highs in total tackles (38) and pass breakups (8) while matching his career-best for interceptions in a single season (2). Scouting service Pro Football Focus (PFF) ranked him the No. 20 cornerback in the league at the end of the regular season for his performance.

    from Ranking the top 10 NFL punters heading into the 2020 regular season

    https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/ranking-the-top-10-nfl-kickers-and-top-10-punters-heading-into-the-2020-regular-season/

    2. Johnny Hekker, Rams

    Whenever there’s a conversation about the best punters in the NFL, Johnny Hekker’s name almost always comes up, which makes sense, because he’s one of the best punters in the NFL. Since his rookie year in 2012, Hekker has been an absolute weapon for the Rams, and during the early part of his career with the team, he was arguably the only weapon. Hekker has been so good for so long that it’s easy to forget how good he really is, so I’ll do my best to remind you.

    Over the course of his career, he’s averaged 47.0 yards per punt, which is the second-highest number in NFL history. That total includes an average of 47.4 yards last season, which ranked third in the league. Hekker also had a net punting average of 42.4 yards in 2019, which ranked seventh in the league.

    The one thing about Hekker is that he’s not just a punter, he’s a secret weapon. The man is a human Swiss Army knife for the Rams who does everything. Besides punting the ball, Hekker has also mastered the art of the throwing the the football. The Rams have ran so many fake punts with Hekker that he’s actually completed more passes in his career than Taysom Hill.

    from https://theathletic.com/1886726/2020/06/25/four-on-the-roster-12-personnel-and-many-questions-evaluating-rams-tight-ends/?source=twittered

    Rich Hammond:

    Up front, adding a second tight end — usually Mundt — helped the line and the run game. Bobby Evans played well as a rookie at right tackle after Rob Havenstein’s injury, and I don’t want to downplay that but he also got a lot of help in those bigger packages. Mundt and Higbee both are great blockers. What this all means for Everett, I’m still not sure, but the Rams found something in the second half of the season that almost instantly revitalized their offense.

    Jourdan Rodrigue:

    Because of the extra roster allowances this season, I think the Rams see a bit of a loophole here, in that they can get away with carrying four tight ends — especially if one or two are designated in blocking support. You can carry 55 players on game days now, and teams probably will need more based on health protocols likely coming the league’s way soon. So in a year when you might see roster and practice-squad expansion, they can develop Hopkins and see what he’s got and continue to see whether Everett is a long-term option without immediately extending him. If he would command too much money (and I’m all for players going out and getting their money, by the way), they would have someone waiting in the wings to take on the role.

    Donald obviously deserves an assist on this play, but most nose tackles don’t move the way Joseph-Day does on this sack.

    Joseph-Day should not be forgotten…. He’s still an important player on the defensive line, providing not only the versatility to play any position up front, but also to stop the run.

    “It’s interesting for sure, but at the end of the day, we’re only as good as our last guy. So all that really does is just amps up everyone’s game and I’m really excited because all that’s done for me is make me more hungry so I continue to work harder,” Joseph-Day said on the Rams Revealed Podcast. “I’m just excited to have A’Shawn because we’re going to be such a good D-line, so if I ever get tired or he ever gets tired, we’ll just rotate in. Brock gets tired, I can go in for Brock. Just do it all – I’m going to be a Rennaissance man. I’m going to be able to do it all this year. I’m hungry, I’m very ready and I’m just ready to still spread my wings.”

    from Rams’ Week 14 matchup with Patriots just got tougher thanks to Cam Newton
    Rams' Week 14 matchup with Patriots just got tougher thanks to Cam Newton

    The Rams are familiar with his game, barely edging out a win over the Panthers in Week 1 last season – one of only two games Newton played in 2019. He only carried it three times for minus-2 yards, but he did complete 25 of his 38 passes for 239 yards. Newton wasn’t 100% healthy at any point last year, but he still gave the Panthers their best chance to win.
