what kind of season could stafford have this season? assuming jackson can stay healthy, this is the best group he’s played with since the superbowl?

i think so too.

3) Forbes continues to shine: A pass breakup early in team drills on a Jimmy Garoppolo pass intended for rookie wide receiver Mario Williams drew praise from head coach Sean McVay afterward. Between that moment and Forbes’ interception in the first OTA practice, the third-year cornerback has impressed this spring.

does this mean he’s playing with the first unit defense?

if the rams can acquire ramsey and if forbes can contribute, i see very few weaknesses on this team. backup qb. wr depth? not really. they have atwell. they have whittington. and i really like mumpfield. offensive tackle depth is a problem.

actually tight end is still a big question mark. higbee coming off an injury. i know he’s fully recovered, but i don’t think we quite fully know how healthy he is. and after higbee, we still don’t know. if ferguson doesn’t pan out, that’s a big problem although i think they could easily go more 3 wr sets. atwell is still here, and i really like whittington.

The problem is outside speed. Whittington and Mumpfield are not burners.

i do wonder if ferguson could be a downfield target. he’s got good speed combined with good size. too fast for a linebacker and too much size for a defensive back. plus a qb with the arm to find him down field.

jared verse says he left 10 sacks on the field because of mistakes he made on the field.

i’ve read mcvay saying really positive things about whittington. this report has good things to say about mumpfield. i haven’t read anything on atwell, but competition for the third wr looks like something to look for in training camp. each seem to bring different skills. but also ferguson should be competing with those three for reps. that’ll be fun to keep track of.

this has probably already been mentioned, but i get isaac bruce vibes from this guy.

here are his agility numbers.

short shuttle – 4.19s
three cone – 6.77s

1. Konata Mumpfield made himself known

Konata Mumpfield was absolutely brilliant on the day. He showed off his ball tracking skills on an underthrown pass by Jimmy Garoppolo, but it was a constant ability to snatch balls out of the sky that truly exemplified how he dazzled.

Mumpfield was consistent in his approach and execution, putting together some great film as he battles for his opportunities.

Mumpfield is a legitimate NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year candidate. His skills from college have not only translated, but with improved quarterback play, those skills have evolved. His candidacy will likely depend not on whether he’s able to execute on opportunities, but is more dependent on opportunities being called to come his way.

on puka. gives me hope if he and adams can stay healthy. should also create opportunities for guys like ferguson.

on verse. if he can start finishing and adding sack totals along with the pressures.

i can’t wait for the season to start.

i’ll say this. they look like al and john. probably a lot of makeup involved, but wow.

if their performances can match the look i gotta watch it.

don’t know about most excited ever, but at least an upgrade over last year.

specifically i was probably more excited when they signed bobby wagner along with ernest jones, but this group would be right below them.

i really hope they hit on this pick.

i’ll take chris cooley good.

the other thing is with his ability to rush the passer, shula i gotta think will be able to put in more creative pass rush packages if paul jr can prove to be a three down player.

I think receiver is deeper than it was last year. Last year they had Nacua, a diminished Kupp, Robinson, and Atwell. Whittington did a little bit as a rookie. This year they have Nacua, Adams replacing a diminished Kupp, Atwell, and a more experienced Whittingon. Adams also, at the same time, makes up for losing Robinson.

i do wonder though if they have another card to pull. like when they signed obj. which was fortunate especially when woods went down.
