yeah. long and wells need to stay healthy. but what’s most encouraging is robinson’s development at left tackle. i think he could be a starter as soon as this year if they needed him to be. but hopefully not. i think by next year he could already be a better left tackle than long. straight up. it’s only been one preseason game, but his athleticism and power already stand out.
August 13, 2014 at 11:58 pm in reply to: Video: Wagoner’s Rams Buzz: Starting O-line Rounding Into Shape #3949InvaderRamModeratori’m excited to see this offensive line. i think it will have a bigger impact than any other offensive group. the running game. and then off that the play action. pass protection. i’m excited to see how quickly this group can get it together. that should be the identity of this offense. the line.
InvaderRamModeratorfor me personally. i don’t feel like a complete eval could really be done. sam didn’t play. the rams 2 defensive tackles didn’t start. laurinaitis was out. too many missing pieces to even form any sort of opinion. on offense i want to see bradford. i want to see how confident he is in that knee. on defense, i need to see the starting front seven before i have any idea what kind of defense the rams have.
and we may not even get all that until the regular season starts.
August 13, 2014 at 9:11 pm in reply to: Torry Holt: Tavon Austin’s Biggest Impact Will be on Special Teams #3941InvaderRamModeratori’m of the opinion that tavon should be a major contributor outside of just special teams. whether the team passes it a lot or not, you don’t spend that kind of draft value on a special teams guy. i really hope he’s not the next desmond howard. my only hope is holt is not much of an evaluator. great players don’t always make great evaluators. we’ll see.
August 13, 2014 at 9:51 am in reply to: reporters at practice, Day 13: articles & twitter reports, Wagoner & Thomas, etc #3910InvaderRamModeratori agree. i read nothing but positive things about this guy. and he had an impressive catch against new orleans. don’t think they should let this guy go.
InvaderRamModeratorgreg robinson, alec ogletree, and sam bradford.
i want to see greg robinson clean things up a little bit in pass protection. that one mental error last game. don’t want to see that again.
i am extremely encouraged by what laurinaitis had to say about alec. i hope it isn’t just talk. sounds like he’s becoming a real professional.
i want to see sam shake that rust off.
InvaderRamModeratori’m expecting that bradford mostly hands the ball off. maybe two series at the most.
August 12, 2014 at 8:20 pm in reply to: Torry Holt: Tavon Austin’s Biggest Impact Will be on Special Teams #3871InvaderRamModeratorwell that’s disturbing. cuz i don’t think britt or quick are the answer. not as starting wrs. that leaves bailey who i like. but he’s suspended for the first four games. cook? kendricks? right now i see a bunch of complimentary receivers, but no number one type wr. is that going to work? i think it will for now with the running game looking as strong as it does. but i think ultimately bailey or austin have to step up. or both. i don’t see anyone else on the roster who is capable.
InvaderRamModeratori was surprised at how comfortable he looked at offensive tackle. that’s comforting to me. i think he’ll be fine at guard for now, but ultimately, he needs to be the rams’ franchise left tackle. he looked the part.
August 12, 2014 at 8:00 pm in reply to: after 1 pre-s. game & all the camp reports what are the concerns v. good omens? #3867InvaderRamModeratorgood omens. offensive line. bailey. austin. running backs.
bad omens. run defense. tackling. secondary.
InvaderRamModeratoryeah. second game needs to be better.
InvaderRamModeratordefense just looks horrible so far.
InvaderRamModeratori had my doubts about gilbert. i admit.
InvaderRamModeratorgreat adjustment by bailey.
InvaderRamModeratori thought robinson did a good job wiping out that entire left side. cunningham just had to beat that linebacker and then it was tons of open field.
InvaderRamModeratorstedman! great catch!
InvaderRamModeratorall tight ends and running backs so far.
greg robinson at left tackle now.
InvaderRamModeratordon’t get too adventurous on that skateboard, robert!
InvaderRamModeratorgood to be able to watch the rams again. even got a first drive touchdown!
InvaderRamModeratorit does come off to me as coming to the right situation at the right time.
walton had pretty much the same defense, but williams comes at a time when ogletree and brockers should have breakout years. and then to top that off, they add one of the more pro-ready defensive tackles in recent memory basically as a gift. not to mention joyner.
if the defense blows up, this will inflate his ego even more.
if the defense flops, i think his reputation takes a huge hit.
August 7, 2014 at 9:43 pm in reply to: Bernie: It's time to refocus expectations about Bradford #3537InvaderRamModeratormy projections for him this season are:
300-500 3500 yards 27 tds 10 ints 90.9 qb rating.
90.9 was what he had last year which ranked 11th among qbs last year.
InvaderRamModeratorthey’re all sons of bitches. but williams probably is moreso than the average nfl coach.
he IS from the buddy ryan coaching tree after all… that goes for fisher too.
InvaderRamModeratori’m not sure that i like these helmet cams.
InvaderRamModeratorif stacy can stay healthy. if he could just stay healthy. this guy is gonna be something else. just great running instincts. harder to bring down than jackson. and then everything else should fall into place. bradford. the wrs. he’s just gotta stay healthy.
August 6, 2014 at 2:57 am in reply to: Rams LB Ogletree could be scary good in his second NFL season/Balzer #3395InvaderRamModeratori remember ogletree having problems shedding blocks. what are camp observers’ impressions on how much ogletree has improved in this regard?
also. i’ve read that ogletree has spent some time working with the dline on pass rush moves. have any of the camp observers’ taken note of this?
August 6, 2014 at 2:20 am in reply to: Video: interviews with Greg Robinson, EJ Gaines, Shaun Hill #3394InvaderRamModeratoroh dear. greg is looking to hurt someone on friday…
something tells me he’s a completely different player when full contact is involved.
August 6, 2014 at 1:59 am in reply to: 8/5 Jim Fadler twitter reports from camp…and twitter reports from others too #3393InvaderRamModeratorreally liked the comments on robinson, mason, and austin. offense should be very much improved from last year.
InvaderRamModeratorwhat do people think of the new rule changes and the impact that will have on tavon?
i figure the new rule changes WILL help austin. with dbs not allowed to be as physical it should help a jitterbug type like tavon.
i also believe bailey is the guy to step. it’ll be austin and bailey. with quick or britt making a very effective third wr.
i also think that brockers dominates. it won’t just be donald. he’s the new guy, and understandably, people are excited. but brockers has come in the best shape of his life. he didn’t come in with the technical proficiency that donald does. but people forget. brockers is only 6 months older than donald. he came in as a young raw physical specimen. i fully expect him to have a breakout year. and then combined with donald, this dline should be frightening.
InvaderRamModeratornot sure i like this rule change. i’d like to see a rule change favor the defense for a change.
InvaderRamModeratoryup. cb. then free safety. then oline.
