InvaderRamModeratori think higbee can be a good blocker. reports say he has the desire. the want to. just doesn’t have the technique down. but that can be learned.
if he can stay healthy and focused. which i think are two very big question marks. BIG question marks. he’s got a chance to be what this offense needs.
InvaderRamModeratoryeah. mannion was good. very impressive. especially the 4th quarter.
InvaderRamModeratori’d like them to stay in the coliseum. wonderful stadium. just touch it up a little bit, and they’d be fine.
also. get spruce some action in the first half next week. he deserves it. see what he can do against better competition.
and please give goff a whole half worth of reps next time please.
InvaderRamModeratori don’t know about tavon exploding, but i think higbee is a good candidate for the guy to be the primary qb target. probably not until next year though. i think cooper is a close second.
InvaderRamModeratori am also curious to see randolph play tomorrow. my favorite undrafted free agent this year. i’ve seen him in various video clips, and he makes brief appearances in hard knocks. he’s #43. but i haven’t read anything as far as his performance so far in training camp.

InvaderRamModeratorwell i don’t think he ever actually graduated.
he’s a college dropout.

InvaderRamModeratoras long as they keep the horns i’m ok.
mess with the horns, and i might get seriously upset.
InvaderRamModeratorFrom Brohm’s point of view, Higbee’s blocking is a secondary issue – “He’s definitely adequate,” he says. The more pressing concern, Brohm says, is Higbee’s health.
that’d be my biggest concern with him.
InvaderRamModeratortyler higbee too. wanna see what all the fuss is about. goff and higbee especially should be getting a lot of playing time i would think. hopefully coop too.
InvaderRamModeratorbarely a rams contingent at orlando’s hof induction? that’s kind of sad.
InvaderRamModeratorsweet. does that mean i’ll have more time to watch an nfl played by robots?

InvaderRamModeratori’m looking forward to seeing the oline. and goff. he should be playing a lot on saturday. so pretty excited for this weekend.
InvaderRamModeratorok. i watched hard knocks. first time i’ve ever watched it, but i couldn’t help myself.
the best thing i liked about this episode. watching how annoyed donald would get with sims when they were playing ping pong. i don’t know how real the scenes are that are being filmed, but he looked seriously annoyed.
gotta love that competitiveness.
Donald’s athletic skills amazed me. His Odel Beckham one handed catches and footwork on those catches were great.
I think he could beat Forest Gump in ping pong.
they should use him in the redzone.

InvaderRamModeratorHis final season at Cal saw him grade higher than both Jameis Winston’s final season at Florida State and Marcus Mariota’s final season at Oregon, and both of those players finished their NFL rookie seasons with an overall positive grade.
that’s certainly very encouraging. although i would say that winston did not play very well his last season. i believe he played much better the previous season.
InvaderRamModeratorso goff gets more time with the 1’s and takes a step back. i don’t think there’s anything surprising about that. just have to see how he responds.
i also am not surprised that higbee is doing so well. i also expect higbee to get injured somewhere down the line.
also wondering how brian randolph is doing in camp.
InvaderRamModeratori think there’s good depth at oline this year. a lot of rookies got some valuable experience last year. i’m thinking they have a breakout this year as long as the rams can keep a good balance and not force the running game to do too much.
InvaderRamModeratornot being able to handle speed rushers doesn’t worry me so much as the mental errors do.
InvaderRamModeratorgood news on goff. the one thing we don’t know is how he’d do with the first team against the first team defense but good news.
heard on the la times report that goff has played some with the first team but not with the public. wonder how that went.

InvaderRamModeratorman i hope higbee stays healthy. and out of trouble.
sounds like he’s exactly what the rams offense has been missing.

InvaderRamModeratori kinda feel the same way. goff in particular needs stability more than anything. changing just for the sake of change is not going to help this offense.
and i like the direction this team is going. i don’t think it’s as easy as just looking at the record and chalking it up as a failure.
InvaderRamModeratorThey said the same thing about Sam Bradford.
They tried to build around Bradford. He got injured.
They’re adding Goff to a more developed team: “The one piece that we needed to stabilize our team was QB,” Snead told USA TODAY Sports before Sunday’s practice.
That’s the key…they’re ADDING Goff to what is a more talented team. Goff and Bradford are very different kinds of qb talent btw.
More talented? Gurley is an upgrade otherwise there isn’t an Amendola on this offense. TA is more of a runner and decoy.
i agree. they need an amendola. a reliable high volume receiver to take pressure off goff. or keenum.
http://www.footballoutsiders.com/stat-analysis/2016/qbase-2016
for what it’s worth football outsiders rates goff as the ninth best prospect since they’ve collected data on this stat. it’s a pretty impressive list. outside of leftwich every qb has had some degree of success at the pro level.
i posted it before but figured i’d post it again.
InvaderRamModeratoron higbee his main problems are staying out of trouble and staying healthy.
and i think the staying healthy problem could be a big one. he was always getting nicked up in college.
also the defense lost laurinaitis, long, and mcleod. but i’m wondering if the defense could be better than last year. biggest question mark for me is replacing mcleod, but i don’t think they miss laurinaitis or long.
InvaderRamModeratorsounds like goff and the rookie wrs are picking it up. even williams.
good to have some competition in the wr corps.
InvaderRamModeratori am eager to see alexander at fs. i think he’d easily be the most gifted free safety the rams have had in a long time.
and if it’s true that they have offered tavon a new contract i hope he signs it soon.
InvaderRamModeratori’d like to see something like tb happen but expect it to be more like a minn.
InvaderRamModeratorsounds like grob is making progress. sounds like goff has improved on his first day of practice. good stuff.
InvaderRamModeratorpeople can be such dicks.
sigh.
InvaderRamModeratori’ve noticed that they’ve started going more blue and white with a lot of their logos and stuff. i like it. never was a fan of the blue and gold. preferred blue and yellow. but i think i could dig the blue and white.
InvaderRamModeratorinteresting. alexander with the first team d. i mean i read the reports about williams thinking about him at fs. but good to see him there day one.
also good to see wichmann on the first unit. the fact that they think that highly of him gives me good feelings about oline depth.
