    from the below article.

    https://www.therams.com/news/10-observations-from-rams-joint-practice-with-saints-matthew-stafford-davante-adams-terrance-ferguson-nate-landman-kobie-turner

    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.”

    Well, did you see Ferguson flash any traits last year? I just didnt see anything that really popped. Just seemed like ‘a guy’ to me. What did you see?

    i didn’t see much, but i’m hanging my hopes on the idea that he was overwhelmed learning a very difficult position. and the fact that his physical traits just stand out.

    and also just reading and hearing about him in training camp players and coaches and reporters all seem to be saying positive things about him.

    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.

    the only thing is i think that’s michael hoecht in the 97 jersey which tells me that it’s an old video. poona ford wears the 97 jersey now and that is definitely not poona.

    max klare looked good. sticky hands.

    scored 99.6 percentile in on field athleticism according to pff metrics but didn’t perform in combine or pro day testing. i know tight ends don’t traditionally play straight away in mcvay’s offense. i’ll be watching him the next two games though.

    parkinson, higbee, allen, ferguson. but allen is injured and higbee is in the twilight of his career. no clear third wr.

    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.

    Ramsey was great, Weddle was good.

    This team has McDuffie and Watson, which I think is a better pair than Ramsey and Williams. They also have Lake and Curl, which could be the best safety duo they’ve had in decades.

    i think the secondary as a whole. yes. could be better than any the rams have had under mcvay. and they have kinchens.

    and i know you guys are talking just the secondary but donald hasn’t had anyone lined up with him in the front seven like garrett since robert quinn.

    man if quinn could have stayed healthy no telling what he could have done.

    He’s definitely never going to be ‘prime Donald’ again. He must know that. So, what are his expectations?

    maybe that’s the challenge. with a guy like donald i imagine expectations go out the window. i don’t think a guy like donald goes in thinking he can’t be his old self.

    Chris Carter talks about A.Donald.

    it should be interesting if he does come back. getting back into the mindset and physicality. cris would know better than most. better than me for sure. maybe this is the motivation for donald. can he get back to his old self? the two years off must have taken some edge off. how do you ramp him back up to football shape?

    if he does pull it off. and as more than just a role player. that will add another layer to his career.

    My optimistic moments come from the new defense. I cant wait to see it. I mean, its not crazy to think it might be the best Ram defense we’ve seen in the modern-era. Its not crazy to wonder if it could be in the same tier as, say, the 2000 Ravens, or the great Tampa defense.

    It may not be ‘likely’ but its not crazy to think it might be.

    yeah. it might not happen. but it could. it’ll be the main storyline i’ll be following this season. everything so far sounds like they’re on track.

    Per Sean McVay, TE Davis Allen is dealing with a quad injury. Since it’s a soft tissue injury, McVay said they will give Allen “some time” before he returns to practice. McVay said they don’t want to rush Allen back.

    “Davis is going to be a big part of what we do,” McVay said.

    i like allen. but this could be an opportunity for ferguson to get more and more reps. i don’t know which player is running with first or second team. and maybe he’s already grabbed that second te spot. but continuing to read positive things about ferguson and his potential seems to be the highest of any tight end the rams have.

    Overall, the best day of practice for the Rams.

    The defense started out absolutely lock down, then the offense turned it up in the second half and made their mark.

    Feels like the Rams are pumped at the position they are in as a team right now.

    could be reading into it too much. and i don’t want to get ahead of myself but it really feels like each unit continues to rise to the challenge that the other unit presents. very competitive practices that will force each individual and unit to improve themselves. still too early but can’t wait to see what this season brings.

    Terrance Ferguson has had a fantastic offseason. He is now proving to be a guy who can play all over the formation and looks like he could be a force after the catch, showing why the Rams coveted him in the 2025 draft and now believe he could grow into one of the NFL’s best tight ends.

    need to hear more of this. i’ve heard he’s struggled at times too. but what better time to improve than during practice.

    Daniels is making noise in practice and drawing attention from fans and coaches. McVay called him a “mature rookie” once again and said he’s excited to watch Daniels in the preseason.

    i’ll definitely be watching daniels in preseason games although i get this feeling we’ll see him for one game and then mcvay will pull him for the rest of the preseason.

    Daniels had that vibe when they drafted him. Hope he keeps it up and turns out to be the real thing.

    i remember seeing puka his rookie year in training camp. i had that same feeling.

    Tired: Terrance Ferguson only had 11 receptions last season.

    Wired: They were a FUN 11 receptions.

    ferguson is the x factor on offense for me.

    But like many others I assume that even without Donald, the combination of Garrett, Young, Turner, Fiske, and Ford (plus maybe Stewart) will be plenty good all on its own.
    .

    Yeah, the Rams defense (barring injuries) has the potential to be as good as — and i cant believe I’m writing this — the Texans.

    And that is just ridiculous.

    So even if the Rams offense has injuries and goes off the rails, they could still be a dangerous team.

    …i hate all this super-team, front-runner stuff. Especially since they havent won anything, unlike Seattle. Rams as favorites. What do we even do with that? I dont like it.

    w
    v

    and that’s not even mentioning the additions of mcduffie and watson which should buy the dline more time and/or cause more turnovers.

    @RamsNFL @PoonaF_95 always a place in this league for players like Poona..Strong as an Ox; healthy as a horse; heart of a lion! #BaldysBreakdowns

    if donald comes back, and i know this has been mentioned before, but if he does come back, it’s not just garrett and donald. you got turner and ford and young. plus fiske. that could form a special special dline.
