yeah i liked the article. i hope that they have it fixed. mcvay is saying the right things. i’m just not ready to believe until i see it on the field. i know they signed one st specialist. i just wish they had signed some more. although maybe a guy like dolac can step in and fill a role.

RODRIGUE: “I have been saying for a while now that I think Rams will be a lot more defensively multiple than they even look on paper. Most players can do a ton of different things.”

well i hope they don’t outsmart themselves.

the most first team all pros stat.

the craziest thing about that stat is donald hasn’t even played the last two seasons.

i really hope he can be at least 80% of his old self.

The #Dolphins waived RB Jarquez Hunter, who they just got from the #Rams in the Tutu Atwell trade.

That did not last long.

i was just about to post that. maybe rams should sign him to practice squad?

i’m so happy.

Is it enough?

i think it’s enough. and except for adams, they’re all at or approaching their peak.

klare might not get a lot of reps this year, but i like the potential. more athletic at the tight end position than they’ve been in awhile.

not this season but i do worry about how they replace adams. that’s why i’m hoping ferguson shows up in his second year.

Terrance Ferguson, CJ Daniels get their run
With Nacua out, the door opened for younger receivers to see targets and to make their cases to be reliable weapons in an offense that needs one to emerge beyond Nacua and Adams.

The busiest of them was Ferguson. He scored two touchdowns in the red zone, including one where he caught the ball in the flat on the left side and outran the defense.

He executed mostly short routes, a departure from the late-season breakout that helped him finish his rookie season with an average of 21 yards on 11 receptions. The Rams are expanding Ferguson’s route tree now that he’s more comfortable in a playbook that’s committing to the three-tight end approach the Rams largely devised at midseason last year, and he’s spent this offseason trimming body fat to increase that wiggle out of breaks.

By getting the ball to Ferguson more quickly, the Rams can exploit a mismatch with his 6-foot-5, 252-pound frame against linebackers rather than safeties, hoping those safeties are busy enough watching for Stafford’s deep connections with Adams and Nacua on opposite perimeters.

“Coming in (last year), I never expected to play the positions I’m playing,” Ferguson said. “Being able to play F, Z, Y and X, all of them together, it’s definitely been a big jump. … They ask me to do a lot of things down the field but then also be reliable on the line of scrimmage. It’s about finding that happy medium.”

i don’t know how good he can be. but i’m hoping he can be at least better than prime higbee.

Ferguson looking confident: The second-year tight end had a pair of strong receptions over the middle on short passes from Stafford, remaining grounded through the catch point. It was two plays that reinforced the confidence and playmaking McVay has seen throughout camp.

“Just that,” McVay said, when asked what he’s seen from Ferguson in terms of confidence and making plays on the practice field. “And he’s so smart. I think what can’t be misunderstood or minimized is how smart this guy is. He plays every single skill position except for halfback for us. Some of the things we ask of him, he does some of the roles we ask of our backs, and so he’s done a great job. I think he’s got great leadership in that room with guys to be able to learn from with Scooter (tight ends coach Scott Huff), with (Tyler) Higbee, with Colby Parkinson. That repetition, when you’re conscientious like he is, and you’re able to be coached, and you’re secure enough to be accountable for where you can grow, and stay humble when things go well, he’s really had a nice camp. I’ve really been impressed, but not surprised, by what he’s done.”

Maybe. But I think Higbee is still the best receiving TE they have and if he’s healthy I think he’s better than Ferguson.

i guess it means one of two things. either higbee has fallen far off his peak form or ferguson has a true breakout year. i’m hoping for the latter. i actually hope that he surpasses even davante. it’d mean that the rams have two young viable targets beyond this season with adams heading toward free agency and higbee toward retirement. and then maybe one or two of daniels and klare breakout the season after that.

It’s time for Donald to just do it already. He’s got to make his decision. Maybe everybody already knows inside the house, but if the players don’t know this week, I disapprove. The team needs to know, imo.

yeah. especially that player who’s about to get cut.
