is that another way of saying he needs to adjust to the speed of the nfl game?

i agree with much of what jeff says.

Darrell Henderson has admitted difficulty adapting to a zone heavy Rams’ scheme after running mostly gap runs at Memphis. Zone runs rely on vision, processing & patient, controlled footwork to access whichever hole pops open. Pre-Week 1 showed DH has much work to do.

i thought he ran in a zone scheme in college?

yeah. i wasn’t really paying attention to be honest, but the oline is definitely something to keep an eye on. some interesting prospects to keep an eye on for the future for sure.

Rams OLB Dante Fowler had standout day against the Raiders in combined practice. Fowler had at least four sacks…

The rest of that:

…. Fowler had at least four sacks, as he and Aaron Donald kept a constant presence in the backfield. “He’s doing great,” Donald said. “Making a lot of good plays and rushing the passer great.”

hmmm….

1. i like how they’re managing gurley’s reps. obviously anything can happen, but i hope gurley has another strong 3-4 years left in him.

2. love what i’m reading about goff. sounds like he’s taking the next steps in his development.

3. kupp sounds like he’s on track. goff’s play really dropped off after he went out. it’ll be good to have him back.

i’m imagining a safety duo of jj and rapp in the near future.

i like the evans pick as well.

I think that’s a bs narrative.

i think there’s an assumption that goff really is a product of the system.

i don’t personally buy that. but that’s the perception, and maybe along with that, he won’t be able to carry the team when he takes up more salary cap space.

again. i don’t agree with that. i think he’s not close to reaching his peak yet.

Noteboom looked very good with his movement on runs to the right. Both he and Allen have looked just fine so far. IMO Allen will be an upgrade to Sullivan. Allen is quicker with much better overall speed to get into the second level, which is something the center must do in this scheme. The same can be said with Noteboom, he appears more mobile and quicker than Saffold. Whit is just amazing. The dude just doesn’t age. He might want to come back next year too. Whit is totally energized and a complete technician at his craft.

well. we’ll see when the real games begin.

but i like what i’ve been reading.

Torry was slobbering all over Donald. Said he has everything, reached the top, and doesn’t slack one bit, keeps learning every day. Said AD will be in the class with Deacon and Merlin. The all time great Rams.

drool. the greatest ram i’ve ever seen.

i hope that henderson is the real deal, and i hope that he can develop joseph-day and/or gaines into a solid nose tackle.

that’d be so cool.
