    The secondary was particularly bad at some points.  Verse lost two sacks to penalties from White and Curl in the first half.  If this is all that White has to offer, I’d like to see the Rams give more playing time to a young CB. on the strip sack of Stafford, I don’t understand how any play design can have Parkinson being responsible for Sweat. Finally, I hated all the passing in the redzone today. They’re not beating Green Bay next weekend and unless it’s a 100% healthy roster after the bye, they’re not winning more than a couple of games the rest of the way.

    The Rams’ top two picks in the 2024 NFL Draft rank first and second among rookies in pressures through the first three weeks of the season.

    Atwell’s best game I’d say. Even better than last year’s opener against Seattle.

    I need to hug somebody.

    Xavier Smith better not ever find himself on the practice squad again.

    Hopefully this marks a turning point for the Rams young defense up front, but the secondary remains vulnerable.

    #Rams starting guard Jonah Jackson suffered a fractured scapula and is likely headed to injured Reserve, sources said. A similar injury to what he has in training camp.

     

    Hopefully Limmer develops into a reliable center over the next 4 to 5 weeks and when Avila returns he steps in at LG. If/when J. Jackson returns after however many weeks maybe he has to step in at RG because Dotson will be out by that time. Anyway, it would be nice if Limmer ends up being the Rams go to center for next year and Avila dominates at LG for the rest of his career. Two young guys on the interior of the line is a good place to start.

    Nsehke?! Is this for real? He had a short stint with the Rams in St Louis before bouncing around the league including another stop with the Rams in LA. No idea what kind of shape he’s in or if he can play, but man these next few weeks are really going to test McVay.

    Nacua to IR, Avila likely to go on IR, Dotson has an ankle sprain and is day to day, Durant is day to day with a toe injury. If they can somehow get to the middle of October close to .500, maybe there is a chance they can fight for a wildcard in December. They need to find a way to run the ball so Stafford doesn’t get killed before then.

    I didn’t expect the Rams to win this game back when I assumed that they’d be relatively healthy for it. Hopefully they will have a healthy offensive line at some point this season.

    Not taking  corner or addressing depth at the interior LB position were my only real concerns from the draft. So back in May if you had told me that the Rams would trade Jones for a future late round pick, and that Williams would be out before the season started I would said that the Rams would not be making the playoffs this year. Throw in Jackson being out for two games and it sounds even worse. This is shaping up to be a bumpy opening to the season. Hopefully the Rams find their footing sooner rather than later or I think this season goes off of the rails fairly quickly.

    Lions and Cardinals, not the Niners. You all probably knew that though.

    I don’t know how McClendon and Noteboom have been looking in camp and during intersquad practices, but with Jackson out and Havenstein a possibility to be out I am expecting a rough couple of weeks out the gate. The Lions and Niners are tough teams to face with back ups starting at both tackle positions. Never mind not knowing how ready Jonah Jackson is going to be.

    RG Logan Bruss: 71.4

    After such a tough start to his career, it would be nice to see Bruss develop as a viable option as a reserve lineman. Seems to have potential to backup at multiple positions along the line.

    I need one of you logical-types to tell me how ridiculous I’m being thinking that the training camp injuries along the offensive line are not harbinger of things to come.

    Scapula!? How often do players injure their shoulder blade?

    Congratulations. I don’t know where you are, but if you ever have the opportunity try to make your way up to the north shore. The Cook County area is a dream for those who love the outdoors. Also, please don’t become a Vikings fan.

    I apologize for not knowing the answer to this question, but has Verse signed yet? I know others have signed, but I haven’t heard about Verse yet.

    Not yet. It’s anticipated to be soon though.

     

    Thanks. I saw some pictures of him at OTA’s.  I guess there is some kind of insurance policy or something that allows unsigned players to participate.

    I’m already exhausted by those prime time games. I’d prefer 17 one o’clock EST games every season. I dint care about the time zones and the Rams playing out west.

    I like to listen to the Dan Patrick Show, and he’s been talking about the Knicks injuries while stating since the beginning of the series, that he thinks the Pacers are the better team. I agree with your main point, however. Until now I’ve never really considered why the media does that with injuries, but what you say makes sense.

    Hope you’re feeling better soon, BT.  Rams set themselves up nicely this offseason. At least I think they did. Who knows.

    Senior Bowl director, Jim Nagy  on Senior Bowl players in this this year’s Rams draft class

    Jim Nagy@JimNagy_SB
    Here’s what #RamsHouse fans can expect from@seniorbowlrookie class:

    DT Braden Fiske (Round 2, Pick 39)- Top P5 riser in entire ’24 class. Disruptive penetrator with best get-off quicks & snap anticipation in DL class. High-end athlete with enough position flex to start right away. Force multiplier will raise competitive bar for rest of roster.

    DS Kam Kinchens (Round 3, Pick 99)- Young early-out junior with playmaking ability in deep part of field. Ball skills are top asset (11 INT past two years). Good functional range belies suspect 40 time. Miami staff raved about toughness & overall makeup. Should seriously push for starting role as rookie.

    OLB Brennan Jackson (Round 5, Pick 154)- Fun-to-watch high motor player adds rotational pass rush help & immediate core ST value. Ideal frame & fit for 3-4 OLB. Wish he didn’t get hurt in Mobile because he would’ve opened some eyes. Like Fiske, this dude never stops!

    DT Tyler Davis (Round 6, Pick 196)- Good value pick as NFL-ready backup 3-tech behind Kobie Turner. Quick & strong-handed run-downs plugger. Plays bigger than measurables suggest. 5-year starter & team captain at Clemson fits Rams character profile.

    PK Joshua Karty (Round 6, Pick 208)- Big-legged kicker that many specialist gurus we consult with thought was one of best PK prospects in past 5-10 years. Thought he might go 4th/5th round. Has leg talent & mental wiring to be long-term answer.

    C/G Beaux Limmer (Round 6, Pick 217)- One of best value picks of draft. Inside swing depth upgrade should be fourth IOL behind Avila, Jackson, & Dotson. Mature, no nonsense dude with 41 college starts. Strong Senior Bowl week & elite Combine numbers (36.5 VJ, 39 bench reps). Head-scratcher he lasted til 6th.

    Can confirm the reports that RB Boston Scott and the Rams have agreed to a one-year deal, per source.
    Didn’t expect that. Perhaps they see him as a return guy with the kickoff? Could spell trouble for Evans and/or Rivers. Although, McVay seems to genuinely like Rivers.

    From perusing the socials on the internet, I see that Whittington is a bit of a favourite among Longhorns fans. A bit of a cult-like following. Seems to be a high character guy.
