i haven’t seen them play, but from afar it doesn’t seem like anyone stands out.

i wonder if stafford has three or four more seasons in him. he looked good today.

maybe grab a receiver next year. davante on a two year contract. rams are gonna need a right tackle too. and a corner.

this is the best i’ve seen him play at the beginning of the season in a long while.

i don’t want anymore slow starts for this team. next week will be huge.

may stafford have a strong season and play many more years for the rams.

i missed the entire game. hopefully, i’ll be able to watch the replay.

Sean McVay on Shaun Dolac not playing today vs. Browns:

“It’s a good sign for him” heading into 53-man roster deadline Tuesday. “We’ll continue to evaluate, but he’s done a really good job.”

Said Dolac has made his presence felt on special teams, praised his understanding of Rams defense.

awesome. i’m rooting for him. i’ll root for everyone of course, but he’s definitely one of my favorites from this rookie class.

guys i’m most interested in watching this year.

1. verse. i know he won rookie of the year but can we expect him to make a significant leap in development. this typically happens in the second third years for d linemen.

2. fiske. see number 1.

3. forbes. cornerbacks are a little worrisome. so if the hype is real with this guy, then he could be one of the two final pieces of the puzzle which brings me to.

4. pooh paul vs dolac. paul jr would seem to be the better prospect since he was actually drafted and he played in the sec, but dolac’s athletic numbers and actual production seem to go be him the edge. i really like dolac, and i’m hoping for the next london fletcher. both have intangibles which are off the charts.

5. ferguson. even if they don’t run more 12 personnel, i’m worried about higbee, and how much he can contribute this year even though he should completely recovered from the acl.

6. josaiah stewart. i really liked this draft. even if he doesn’t start he should be a big contributor.

7. hunter. i really really liked this draft. can we finally get some more explosion in the running game? i still like williams and i’m sure he gets the bulk of the carries. but it’d be cool to see some explosives in the run game.

8. poona ford. i keep reading about what an underrated signing he was, but i’ve never seen him play.

9. adams. the obvious one. high profile signing. maybe the highest profile fa signing this year? he’s gotta be better than the 2024 version of kupp. and like that podcast from another thread states, adams and nacua could compliment each other better than kupp and nacua did. also haven’t seen him play much.

That vid is about as good as it gets. You know the Rams better from watching it.

i don’t know if this has been posted, but this is a video that this podcast refers to. armstead on verse.

i’m guessing landman starts and then a competition between speights, paul jr, and dolac. that’ll be one to watch. i don’t know. i like paul jr too. and speights surprised last season. dolac might have the most upside. athletic numbers wise he has a slight edge while all three have the intangibles.

this position and the cornerback position should be the most interesting.

also gonna watch ferguson closely.

puka’s only problem last year was staying healthy.

yeah. keep hearing forbes’ name. don’t know when the last time i heard about a first round pick being cut in the middle of his sophomore season. or if they were even able to go on and have success after that.

[from the article linked above]: Donald shared a video from their workout and it looked as intense as you’d expect.

i really wish donald would come back. he and verse would be something else.

emmanuel forbes. i like that we keep hearing his name. i almost forgot about him. he was widely ranked as a first or second round caliber draft pick and a top 5 to top 10 cornerback in that draft class. wow. i just wonder why washington gave up on him less than halfway through his sophomore season. i see articles citing lack consistency and progress. but he was only in his second year. were there attitude issues? but then i read nothing of that with the rams. if he succeeds with the rams that’ll look real bad on the commanders.

My guess is that the Rams were targeting Colston Loveland with the Panthers’ pick.

Look at who was drafted in the next 10 picks, and of all those guys,…it’s Loveland.

it couldn’t have been tetairoa mcmillan? that’s who the rams were supposedly targeting.

i agree. and i can’t wait to see what he does in his sophomore season.
