    can donald challenge the sack record again with a full off-season with the team.

    i hope so. the pass rush outside of donald was less than exciting.

    i know the secondary is important as well. but i think they’re in good shape.

    my worry lies in getting a consistent pass rush. i’m worried about the rush defense as well. but primarily i’m wondering where the pass rush is coming from.

    hopefully, he can teach ogbo and ebu a thing or two. they’re our two most promising young guys on the roster. fowler too.

    i actually am good with the idea of gurley splitting carries. even with the big contract.

    i always looked at the new orleans duo and wished the rams could have something similar.

    and i always banged the table for the rams lightening the load for todd. i always felt like mcvay dialed gurley’s number far too often early in the season.

    and i like the idea of the rams keeping defenses off balance by switching up the running attack. if goff is a boxer, then gurley is his right fist and hopefully henderson will be his left. or if he’s a southpaw then gurley is his left, and henderson is his right?

    or maybe he’s more like an mma fighter…

    uhhh… anyway. i think the offense just got better. i thought henderson was just a straight line speed guy at first, but the video and agility numbers disprove that. and it’s not like they drafted him in the first round.

    not to mention brown.

    i have no idea how good goff can become. he’s only just completed his third year. he probably won’t peak until another three years or he could regress.

    we’ll just have to see. the only ones who have an idea are goff and the team.

    we’ll see. should be fun. i hope he’s the rams’ qb for the next 17 years.

    Pro Football Focus@PFF
    Roethlisberger averaged 2.38 seconds to attempt a pass…

    Brees averaged 2.43…

    And Brady averaged 2.45 seconds to attempt.

    wonder what goff averaged.

    honestly i’d be happy if gurley got 950 rushing yards and 550 receiving yards.

    and then henderson with 750 rushing yards and 350 receiving yards!

    ha! that’d be something else.

    i really like kiser. good athlete. good mentality.

    having a hard time coming up with a reason why he wouldn’t succeed.

    probably only a two down linebacker. but that’s probably all the rams need from him.

    he’s the 7th ranked safety at least according to pff.

    he’s been solid the past 2 seasons.

    i guess i’m waiting to see if he takes it to another level. maybe with weddle mentoring him he does.

    and i’m guessing his preference is to stay in la. not that he’d take a discount, but with all things being equal contract-wise i’m guessing he’ll choose la.

    right now i’m just thinking about what the defense looks like with weddle, kiser, gaines, long, rapp, and okoronkwo in the lineup.

    can’t wait for training camp. i think i’m more excited about this season than last. i always favor the homegrown players over free agents, so it’ll be fun to see how the young guys like kiser, gaines, long, rapp, and okoronkwo do. and even on offense with henderson and everett potentially adding a few wrinkles. not to mention the new look oline with noteboom and allen.

    lots of uncertainty but also lots of excitement.

    I know it’s only OTA’s, but #Rams Sean McVay does as good a job as any coach I’ve seen making 11-on-11 periods competitive. That said, Jared Goff looked really good throwing the ball today. Really, really good.

    i’m curious to see how the next four years go.

    he’s not even close to reaching his peak years.

    just a guess but i don’t think the offense skips a beat. and there’s a small chance they’re even better.

    What is the “this” that did that?

    Side note. You know, the Memphis coach watched a lot of tape of the McVay Rams and built a lot of it into his offense there.

    for some reason i thought he has performed poorly in agility drills. but i found an article recently that showed his ss and 3-cone times. they’re actually pretty good. not elite level but good enough that they’ve quelled my concerns about his ability to cut. a ss time of 4.29 and a 3-cone of 7.00 is good.

    and if he’s coming into an offense he already has familiarity with all the better.

    his receiving ability also has me intrigued as well.

    well. this is forcing me to readjust my opinion again.

    completely on board with this pick.

    actually i just came across this article. his agility numbers according to this are actually not bad. not elite. but good.

    short shuttle 4.29 seconds
    3-cone 7.00 seconds

    Henderson stood on most of his combine marks but did rerun the three-cone (7.00 seconds) and short shuttle (4.29 seconds).

    i see and understand the comparisons to kamara.

    runner/receiver. explosive. tough to tackle.

    we’ll see. again his agility numbers don’t stand out. and that’s important for me. but there are always exceptions. kamara being one of them interestingly.

    i would go with what mcvay recommends. if he’s not sure, i wait.

    if mcvay wants goff, sign him to the extension now.

    that’s why i’m hesitant to list ogbo as a starter.

    i think at least noteboom and kiser start. if not kiser then maybe ebukam.

    with allen i trust kromer. it says a lot that they didn’t draft a center in the first round when they very well could have.

    from the 2019 draft i could see rapp, at least one of the olinemen, long, and gaines eventually starting. and at the very least they’ll see significant time in rotation this year.

    but again. we gotta see it first. this will be the next kind of prove it stage for mcvay and snead. sustaining success as you lose key players and replenishing talent through the draft.

    i like ogbo. but i like almost all the draft picks. they can’t all be slam dunks can they?

    i won’t deny that his stats are out of this world.

    at this point i’m just gonna trust the numbers and the rams’ track record for drafting defensive backs.

    he sounds like an absolute steal at this point. probably doesn’t start right away with the rams having signed weddle. but who knows? maybe he forces his way into the lineup like jj did. weddle is a very good player but he is getting old. if nothing else he learns under one of the best and then takes over next year.

    at the very least he should excel in special teams and rotate in on occasion.

    rams could be relying on up to 3 players to start from that draft class.

    and ogbo as a significant contributor.

    if the rams pull it off, snead’s reputation goes through the roof.

    The main reason experts thought Gaines would go lower is because of his size. He is undersized standing at 6’1″ but really that doesn’t matter as much as you might think.

    actually it could potentially help him in terms of leverage. linemen will have a hard time getting a lower pad level on him.

    he’s got short arms which i don’t like, but it might not matter as much at nt.

    wilfork was short at 6’1″ too. didn’t seem to hurt him.

    only things maybe are he’s not long limbed. and he doesn’t have deep speed although i think 4.45 is fast enough.

    rams seem to have a knack for finding dbs. especially in the later rounds.

    i like everything i read about this guy.

    Gerald Everett went from being the 50th (out of 51 TEs) as a rookie to 4th in just one year

    In half as many snaps in 2018, Everett outperformed his colleague Tyler Higbee in receiving, and looks to further improve as a key blocker for the #Rams moving forward

    i wanna see everett in more of those 3 wr sets with cooks, woods, and kupp.

    the 2 te sets too.

    he seems to have surpassed higbee receiving and blocking.

    I am not a fan of Peters, so let him have his payday else where and I will take the comp pick.

    Gurley, no doubt at this point, knows he has to share time, and will be all in.
