May 13, 2020 at 9:47 pm in reply to: Floyd’s contract shows Rams got creative with the Cap … + more on Floyd #114889InvaderRamModerator
so then this means less cap space in the future if his money is spread out over 3 years?
and doesn’t gurley take up cap space for the next several years?
maybe everett gets traded?
i do hope they can sign ramsey to a long-term deal.
InvaderRamModeratorThe most iconic helmet in the history of football is no more.
I agree with Ag, though – it could have been worse.
it’s still the horns, no? they kind of pop out more now. they’re 3d-ish. i thought i was going to hate it.
could have been much worse. but the helmet is growing on me.

InvaderRamModeratorthey look like power rangers.
i do like the helmet. which i’m surprised by. but the uniform is really mediocre. even on kupp and woods.
InvaderRamModeratorBowen said Anchrum projects as a guard – an evaluation also shared by Rams Director of College Scouting Brad Holmes, who sees him fitting at center as well – who will fit into the offensive line as a run-blocker and provide depth to the offensive line.
interesting coming from the rams director of college scouting.
i wonder what kromer thinks.
InvaderRamModeratorJared Goff reveals Rams’ uniform release date on Twitch stream
Jared Goff reveals Rams’ uniform release date on Twitch stream

1 hour ago
Rams fans have been waiting for the team to reveal their new uniforms for quite a while, and fortunately, the big release seems to be close. The redesigned uniforms will be revealed tomorrow … or “sometime this week.” At least, that’s according to quarterback Jared Goff.While on Alex Bregman’s Twitch stream, Goff was asked by the Astros third baseman when the Rams’ new uniforms are coming out (h/t Reddit).
“They come out tomorrow. Or sometime this week. Sometime this week,” Goff said.
Goff’s tone makes it hard to determine if he’s serious or trolling fans with this spoiler, but it’s entirely possible he’s telling the truth. The Rams said the uniforms would be coming out later this spring, and that was back in March.
The other six teams that got new uniforms released them last month, making the Rams the last ones left this offseason to reveal theirs. Kevin Demoff said earlier this year that they would be available to fans at the shop when SoFi Stadium opened in July, though the opening of the stadium has been delayed due to Taylor Swift canceling her tour.
It’s surprising that the Rams haven’t teased their uniforms in any way like they did with the new logo and colors, but perhaps they’ll do so relatively soon – especially after Goff just let the cat out of the bag.
All eyes will be on the Rams in the next few days, and if Goff was lying about the release date, there will be a lot of angry fans in his mentions on Twitter.

offensive production that needs to rebound
Receiving production from Rams RBs
2017: 842 yards, 6 TDs
2018: 649 yards, 5 TDs
2019: 260 yards, 2 TDs
I’m far less worried about replacing Cooks deep threat option and much more about the 70% decline in production from RBs catching the ball out of the backfield. The Rams don’t need Henderson and Akers to be 2017 Todd Gurley catching the ball but they do have to be a legit option.
i wonder how much higbee’s season had to do with those 2019 numbers.
InvaderRamModeratorHighest single-season pass-rush grades for DTs since 2006
1. Aaron Donald, 2018
2. Aaron Donald, 2017
3. Aaron Donald, 2016
4. Aaron Donald, 2015
5. Aaron Donald, 2019damn, he’s good.
InvaderRamModeratorthey are clearly comfortable with what they have.
I count Brewer as possible top depth. He has an interesting resume. He seems to be a OG/ROT type.
didn’t realize that he had cancer going into his senior year and was actually undergoing radiation treatments during the season while not missing a game or practice. wow.
he’s got size, length, and athleticism it seems. i’ll be interested to watch him.
overall, they’ve got a lot of youth to work with. so that’s exciting. evans, edwards, and brewer are all going to be in their age 23 season. anchrum will be in his age 22 season.
InvaderRamModeratorproblem is 2016.
there’s still a long way to go. all three have had down seasons.
we’ll have a better idea by year 10.
InvaderRamModeratori don’t know that much.
but i do know he’s big, long, and young.
so there’s potential at least.
InvaderRamModeratorKupp was the fastest player at the Senior Bowl in 2017.
.
I think Woods beat 21 mph.there’s track speed and playing speed. i’d be willing to bet bruce was one of the fastest players on the field despite what he clocked in a 40.
InvaderRamModeratoron higbee. yeah. i’m curious to see if he can sustain that late season surge over an entire season. wow. if he could. you’re talking about a 90 catch 1000 yard season with possibly double digit touchdowns. it would also help free up the other guys on offense.
InvaderRamModeratorThe line that starts this year hopefully finishes it but if there are problems I don’t think we’ll be in trouble nearly as much as last year.
ehhh. well. with most likely no off-season and possibly no preseason, problems could continue for a line that lacks in experience and lacks time together. perhaps moreso than other teams.
InvaderRamModeratorno preseason. shorten the regular season. shorten the playoffs.
that’s what they should do.
InvaderRamModeratori like this pick. sounds like woods and kupp. technician. and i’m not convinced that he can’t be a deep threat.
InvaderRamModeratorHere’s why I hold out some hope for the Rams 7th round pick, guard Tremayne Anchrum. First he has the attributes you want and he played at a high level, at tackle no less, for a top team against top competition. As one reports says of him, “Anchrum has the skill set of a tackle-guard tweener, but his body quickness, punch strength and play demeanor are NFL-quality….”
i still hold out hope that anchrum could be the rams’ center of the future. there’s this from clemson’s offensive line coach.
“Tremayne can play several positions,” Clemson offensive line coach Robbie Caldwell said. “And is going to bring an intelligence factor to the Rams. He can play left or right and also has the ability and the knowledge to play center as well.”

InvaderRamModeratorso just to get this straight.
projecting 2 years into the future, the rams will have the following olinemen.
havenstein (28yo – 30 in 2 years)
noteboom (25yo – 27 in 2 years)
evans (23yo – 25 in 2 years)
edwards (23yo – 25 in 2 years)
allen (25yo – 27 in 2 years)
corbett (25yo – 27 in 2 years)
anchrum (22yo – 24 in 2 years)
brewer (23yo – 25 in 2 years)lt – noteboom/evans
lg – edwards/corbett
c – allen
rg – evans/anchrum
rt – havenstein/evans/brewerobviously, this doesn’t include any possible future draft picks. but am i missing anything?
i think out of those linemen i am confident in evans, edwards, and havenstein.
i still think there’s a significant possibility that the rams have yet to find their left tackle and center although things can certainly change in 2 years. maybe noteboom and allen become that. maybe they become that very soon. which would be huge. maybe evans becomes that left tackle with anchrum taking a guard spot. maybe you even get a dark horse like brewer taking over the right tackle spot.

InvaderRamModeratorI don’t see how you get anybody ready for the NFL without camp. I mean…most rookies aren’t ready to play WITH the full off-season training program.
yeah. not expecting much this season.
i’d like to see some flashes though.
if there is a season.
although yes. i agree. i’d like to at least see akers have an impact. maybe the position where a rookie is most likely to make an immediate impact.
InvaderRamModeratorbut again. this is why i’m especially excited to see the defense. maybe nothing comes of it. maybe williams, hoecht, and rozeboom are cut. and lewis never realizes his potential as an edge defender. but it’ll be exciting to find out.
InvaderRamModeratorI like how Hoecht looks too. The DT.
hoecht is another guy. a guy with his frame 6’4″ 295 lbs running a 4.65 40 is ridiculous.
a 7.05 3-cone and a 4.21 shuttle. 33.5″ vert 9’2″ broad.
those numbers compare favorably to aaron donald. and that’s with an additional 10 pounds. explosive. again. maybe not an immediate starter. but could be a contributor and if everything goes well maybe even an eventual replacement for brockers.
and then williams has been talked about a lot already. but again. ridiculous workout numbers. 25 years old so not much room for development physically. but at 280 pounds running a 4.67 40, 4.14 short shuttle, and a 6.77 3-cone. ridiculous. he’s already a physical specimen.
i’ve seen reports of his arms being anywhere from 33.5″ to 34.5″ inches long. 33.5″ is plenty long enough. 35″ vert, 9’7″ broad, and 30 reps on the bench press.
this kind of athleticism. the rams. unless there’s no chance of them contributing. i figure you have to try and find a way for them to make the roster.
InvaderRamModeratorDoubt any of these guys make the roster.
Levonta Taylot & Christian Rozeboom I do expect to make the practice squad from the UDFA defense. That is it.
i don’t know. rozeboom seems to have everything you would want except he doesn’t have the fbs pedigree. of course he’s a udfa, so he’s got a tough hill to climb. but i think he. and a couple others have a legitimate chance at making the roster. ok. maybe not starters. but i think they can make the roster.
InvaderRamModeratorI like what I read about him.
People have looked into the hands thing. He has natural hands. The drops look like concentration drops, and IMO that’s coachable.
i definitely hope you’re right and i’m wrong. because if he can overcome the hands issue. and if he can become the blocker that he says he’s willing to become. then he’s absolutely what i’ve been wanting and what higbee has become.
May 2, 2020 at 2:10 pm in reply to: LA Rams 2019 mid-season additions act like 2020 NFL Draft picks #114513InvaderRamModeratorhalf a jalen ramsey…
the other half comes next year.
and if they can’t re-sign him, then it’s a waste. i hope they find a way to re-sign him.
InvaderRamModeratorWhy did we draft another TE?
Because Gerald Everett will be a free agent in 2021 and Brycen Hopkins was too good a value for the team to pass up in the fourth round. He’s a good receiver with great athleticism for the position, much like Everett.
With Hopkins on the roster and Tyler Higbee already extended, it’s highly unlikely the Rams keep Everett past this season.
i wanted the rams to draft a tight end. but i don’t know about hopkins. i don’t like what i read about him.
and everett did not need to be re-signed even if the rams didn’t draft a tight end this year.
InvaderRamModeratorsorry. just reading about this rozeboom kid. found this interesting. has played against some fbs teams and shined.
Rozeboom had a prolific career with the Jackrabbits and was one of the best defensive players in the FCS for several years. Yet it wasn’t until late in the process when he got an invite to a pro prospect all-star game, the NFLPA Collegiate Bowl. And even with impressive showings on tape against FBS opponents (11 tackles vs. Minnesota in 2019 and eight tackles in his collegiate debut against TCU in 2016), a lot of draft sites and analysts are hesitant to label Rozeboom an NFL Draft pick.
no combine and no opportunity to work them out before the draft could have possibly hurt these prospects. reading about him can’t help but think that this guy could be the replacement for littleton. sideline to sideline. seems to have skills in pass coverage. not big. but quick and tough sounds like.

May 1, 2020 at 9:02 pm in reply to: 234 – Clay Johnston LB, 248 – Sam Sloman K, and 250 – Tremayne Anchrum G #114493InvaderRamModerator“I’m comfortable on the right side of the line, mostly, right tackle, right guard,” Anchrum said. “But again, I am open to playing any spot on the line.”
wonder if he could play center.
InvaderRamModeratori timed him myself on the short shuttle. i got 4.27 seconds. impressive. very impressive. for what it’s worth i hand timed his 3-cone and got the same time listed on the video – 6.96!
impressive athlete. impressive numbers. i hope football isn’t cancelled this season. what will i do!?
InvaderRamModeratorapparently he did have a pro day. didn’t list a 40 time or short shuttle. but supposedly a 35″ vertical and a 6.96 3-cone. i also included an interview which shows some highlights. wants to be a vet one day. what’s not to like?
InvaderRamModeratorchristian rozeboom. also sticks out to me. high level performer in a lower division of football. that’s three now from the football championship division. i can’t help but think that the inability of teams to do their full level of scouting might have somehow helped the rams in that some of these prospects might have slipped through the cracks??? i don’t know.
anyway. rozeboom did not have a pro day. it was cancelled. but his productions is off the charts.
in four years.
475 tackles
29 tfl
6 sacks
8 forced fumbles
6 fumble recoveries
16 pbus
8 interceptionsjust screams playmaker to me.
measurements are 6’2″ 230lbs.
i’m telling ya. i’m really excited about this defensive draft class. excited about brandon staley. mostly because everything is unknown right now. can’t wait to see how this all unfolds.
InvaderRamModeratorand johnston too. he just exudes enthusiasm and passion. maybe he’s the inside linebacker the rams need.
