mmmm… they also lost olson…

it has me a little worried to be honest.

that’s a lot of qb coaching experiencing lost that goff has to deal with now.

Moving Havenstein to RG and putting Lucas or Noteboom at RT is a possibility too, although just replacing Brown with another guard would cause the least amount of disruption across the line.

didn’t they experiment with hav at rg last year?

i dunno what came of that. dunno if it was more that brown couldn’t play tackle or hav couldn’t play guard or both.

but i like the idea of noteboom at tackle. if he’s ready.

the others don’t excite me as much but what do i know.

PFW ranks Donald behind Watt (?)

ummm. i guess assuming watt is healthy…

but shoot. that’s a little disrespectful of donald and everything he’s accomplished.

i eagerly await training camp. i was a little alarmed by curley’s assessment of goff’s offseason. but i’m still positive. maybe he has a slight setback this year, but that’s actually a somewhat common thing for qbs. defenses get a full offseason to study a qb. learn his tendencies. then qbs have to adjust to the adjustment. but i think everyone would agree that he showed obvious talent. he just needs health and focus on his side.

I really liked what I saw of London Fletcher at middle linebacker in this game.

right now i’m wondering if ebukam can make a second year unknown player impact. or maybe littleton going into his third year.

rams are gonna need that.

No team has a better backfield passing game.

is that true?

i feel like atlanta figured out the rams backfield passing game and shut it down.

i’d like to see gurley become a more complete receiver like le’veon bell is. that’s the next step for him.

If the Rams can find a truly dominant edge guy — which they may have in Obo — there’s just No Exit for the other team.

i like ogbo. but i like ebukam too. he’s explosive. and he just might surprise this season. i’m hoping he can be that edge guy for the rams.

for me they’d have to be top 5 in yards and points.

and if everyone is healthy i think it’s totally within reach.

the reasons being i only see goff and kupp getting better. and cooks is totally an upgrade over watkins.

my only real worry is the tight end position.

i like the decision.

as much as i like ogletree, he probably wasn’t the best fit.

i do still wonder if littleton would be better off playing barron’s role with kiser grabbing the middle linebacker spot. at least on the first two downs.

i really like ebukam. super explosive. only average agility, but he looks like he’s got a motor. i think he surprises.

young. very good size and length. decent agility. but i don’t know about his hip. something must have shown up on his medical. or he wouldn’t have dropped so far.

still think ogbo has a chance to make an impact in the second half of the season.

wonder what would happen if nba players started kneeling.

In @brandincooks, McVay & @RamsNFL may have found the perfect blend of Tavon & Sammy’s skill sets, combined in one player. (And as an added bonus, he’s been in pro-style offenses since college.)

not really sure how he compares to either. but i do think cooks is definitely an upgrade over watkins. watkins has more potential, but he hasn’t realized it in the four years he’s been playing. meanwhile during the same period cooks has been consistently very good.

has he played with better qbs? for sure. no comparison. but that’s not the reason watkins has had problems staying healthy. and good wrs usually produce no matter who is at qb.

i like cooks. i think he makes this offense better.

and i should add that i was on board with the sammy trade last year. i thought it was a risk worth taking. but cooks is definitely the safer bet even though watkins’ ceiling could be higher.

stop it with the lock angeles please.

i gotta say though. i’m falling in love with that secondary.

most looking forward to seeing john johnson iii’s sophomore season. i think we pretty much know what to expect from talib, peters, nrc, and joyner.

but johnson. he could be the difference between a really good secondary and a great one.

ok so i didn’t exactly answer the question so i’ll go goff and gurley. right now i want that star backfield.
