I had those guys being cut. I think they would keep Williams and Rozeboom. I think this year, it would be easy for a lot of the cuts to get to the Practice Squad.

yeah. and it sounds like the plan is to put them on the ps.

i think rozeboom could be a big surprise this year.

i desperately want to see christian rozeboom, jonah williams, and michael hoecht on the final 53.

three undrafted rookies with some serious physical attributes.

looks like they still have 10 cuts to get down to 53?

Right, yeah. And we would take that in a heartbeat, and maybe we will get it. Kupp had OTAs and so on, of course. But Jefferson seems to be ahead of the curve in technique, if not the speed of the game and complex NFL schemes, etc. So…I look forward to pummeling Dallas, and may Jefferson shine.

hopefully the rams don’t need jefferson to be that. higbee and everett should have a bigger role as well.

but yeah. sounds like he could have a kupp like rookie season. he’s also older than your typical rookie so you’d guess he’s got a maturity that most rookies lack.

Burgess comes in as a third-round pick out of Utah, providing excellent position versatility and instincts in the defensive backfield. He only has one year of starting experience under his belt, but he played all over the field last season for the Utes, lining up everywhere from outside corner to linebacker.

this probably has been posted before. but shoot. this has me curious.

can’t wait to see this defense – especially the secondary. with all the talk about ramsey and him playing multiple roles. burgess and his versatility. i’m guessing burgess starts at the beginning of the season with rapp still out.

from https://theramswire.usatoday.com/2020/08/31/rams-power-rankings-dvoa-analytics/

Doug Farrar of Touchdown Wire … slotted teams from No. 1 to 32 based on Football Outsiders’ widely used DVOA metric, which measures a team’s performance on every single play compared to league-average based on specific situations.

In Farrar’s DVOA-based power rankings, the Rams came in at No. 13 with a projected 3.2% DVOA and average wins of 8.4.

Who knows what the Rams are these days? They could be the 13-3 squad that made it to Super Bowl LIII at the end of the 2018 season, or they could be the 2019 team that finished 9-7, out of the playoffs. FO thinks the 2020 Rams will be more like the 2019 Rams, and I find it difficult to disagree. Teams that drop from an offensive DVOA of over 20% to under 5% in a one-season stretch don’t tend to revert to their best form, and Jared Goff’s obvious limitations could put a pin in that. FO has the Rams projected with a total DVOA of 3.2%, and an Average Wins total of 8.4.

well. if the oline and the running game can get going. and if van jefferson is the real deal. the offense should be back on track.

The Rams have big plans for Jalen Ramsey. They want him to be “a weapon on defense” and play a role that’s never been seen before

i can only imagine what they mean by this statement.

i mean. is he going to be playing some kind of cb/s/lb hybrid? use him as a blitzer. a run stopper. coverage. lockdown corner.

a role that’s never been seen before? i’m intrigued.

the tweets by silva. lewis looks awesome.

so good to see.

rams camp live day 2 in pads from 8/19/2020. towards the end. lewis goes 1 on 1 with evans. wow. he looks good. lewis that is.

or maybe it’s just my imagination.

What about Brewer or Hoecht?

i’m pretty sure i’ve seen hoecht in some of those twitter vids. #96.

i hope this guy can make the roster. so big. so fast.

expecting huge things from this guy.

if the season ever happens.

I like the jersies! Though I don’t like em to “willing to board war over it” levels. It;s just my vote.

I agree about the helmet.

i just don’t like the numbers.

i’ll be a little happier if they go blue/yellow for home and bone/blue for road. but really i’d like them to just change the jersey. soon.

maybe when i see it in action i’ll change my mind.
