The Rams have a lot of versatile pieces in their secondary, so does the understanding that they are going to probably see more multiple-tight end work from the Eagles mean they can open up their playbook a little deeper?

Big grin from Jalen Ramsey:

“Perhaps.”

can’t wait.

i’m not all that bothered by it.

as far as the missed tackles. he hasn’t played competitive football in awhile. didn’t have a proper offseason to get ready for the first game. so hopefully he cleans that stuff up.

whoa man.

i’m excited. but also worried if the rams can afford this.

but i love woods. i’m glad he’s still a ram. i just hope they have enough for other positions.

At any rate, his bust-rate is pretty low, and its starting to look like the Rams might be in the same conversation as the Steelers and Ravens as far as Personnel.

i don’t know if i’m ready to go there yet. but he really seems to have hit a stride lately.

i wonder if this is in part born of his early years working with fisher. there was a lot of dysfunction in that front office. post-fisher has been an improvement.

my biggest worry is how they replace whit in the future. if it’s not noteboom, they have to find one in the draft. soon.

this season. i think the oline gets better the more reps they get. as long as they stay healthy.

wentz got sacked 8 times and hit another 15 times?

rams defense has to attack the eagles. i think the rams win. especially with no home crowd.

Not that i care what the National Celebrity-Media thinks, but I noticed in every vid i watched, the celebrity-pundits talked about what Dallas did right and what Dallas did wrong, and what the future of DALLAS might be.

It was just so flagrant i had to post about it.

yeah. i have seen the rare tweet where someone recognizes the rams for what they did. but they’re no america’s team.

that’s fine with me. as long as the rams keep getting better i’m cool.

just thinking out loud.

the rams now have kupp, higbee, jefferson, akers, and hopkins all signed through 2023. it’s still to be determined how good jefferson, akers, and hopkins can be, but they have potential for sure.

unbelievable. and when jj presumably leaves, the rams will still have 3 high quality safeties. 4 if you include ramsey. i still really like rapp. still really like burgess.

this secondary is set for awhile. even the cornerbacks are loaded.

yeah. the smoke was so thick it blocked the sun out. so after an insane heat wave it was suddenly unusually cool last week.

that was a little disturbing… just a little…

i think the defense is still out there thinking. it’s a different scheme. maybe it’s just a matter of getting more reps.

not fuller though. fuller looked at ease.

fuller. yeah. what a game. what a game. what a find.

also. yeah. edward-helaire woulda been great. but i’m happy with ramsey. i’m also still waiting to see how akers does. it’s a long season.

The Rams’ core changed seemingly overnight.

Once was:
Jared Goff, Todd Gurley, Brandin Cooks, Aaron Donald

Now is:
Jared Goff, Cooper Kupp, Aaron Donald, Jalen Ramsey

i like it. seems like a reasonable deal to keep kupp.

i love todd gurley, but i think i like the new core better.

i’m expecting big things from the tight end group.

tyler higbee could have a breakout year. i mean he already had a breakout year last year. but i think he could be even better at least numbers wise this year. i don’t know if the running game will be like it was 2 years ago. so he’s gotta pick up the slack.

i also think there should be a good mix behind him too. lots of athleticism. i like hopkins a lot. big fast and agile. if he can learn how to block, rams could have three really good tight ends at their disposal.
