How many snaps do you expect Todd Gurley to play this year

Vincent Bonsignore@VinnyBonsignore
Carries: from the 19 or so he was getting 15 to 16. Pass targets: from the 6 he was getting to 3

How does Clay Matthews look? What could the #Rams expect from him this season?

this is a good thing. i always felt like the load needed to be lightened on gurley anyway. just wish it didn’t happen like this.

i think henderson will fill in just fine.

this goes back to the argument of running qb vs pocket qb.

and this is not to bag on luck. and not to say that he was strictly a running qb. but there is the argument that running qbs are prone to injury.

makes me wonder if wentz might face similar struggles.

also makes me marvel how a guy like russell wilson has not missed a game his entire career.

i feel bad for him.

Gaines looked real good. He had one play where he completely blew up the RB for a loss about 4-5 yards behing the LOS. Gaines had several plays where he flushed the pocket or beat his man into the backfield. Even when Gaines is doubled he has the ability to shake loose. He also can smell the run and stonewall his spot. Highly impressed with Gaines after rewatching the tape.

i like reading that.

he’s got a good chance to be a starter by the end of the season.

I also think between Obo, Durham Carraway and Patrick we are going to find a starter that will eventually replace Ebukam and provide much better pass rush off the edge. I liked Dakota Allen as well but want to see him across a bigger field of games before I crown him.

is ebu even a starter? i thought it was fowler and matthews. in any case, they might actually have some depth there.

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:

Lindsey Thiry@LindseyThiry
…. 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.
