znModeratoryeah. this all of a sudden becomes the rams biggest need on offense.
But it doesn’t have to be a priority need in terms of which draft picks to use, or how much FA money to spend.
Rams have gotten decent production from the TE spot and they certainly use TEs in blocking, especially in 2023 by putting them in motion to block. In terms of targets/receptions/yards, Rams TEs in 2024 accounted for 88 Ts, 62 Rs, & 668 Ys. That’s with a 3rd rounder, a 4th rounder, and a 5th round rookie.
The Rams TE is not a superstar, he’s a good and functional and valuable role player. You don’t need to spend high resources to reproduce that.
That leads to a related but not identical issue–why isn’t Hopkins the next guy up? He knows the system, when he plays (which is not often) he performs, and he knows the system. It ought to be the case where they go “we’ll lose Higbee for a while but then Hopkins can replace him.” They don’t seem to be thinking that way. In 2023 they used Allen more than Hopkins. In fact they kept using Higbee even when he was clearly struggling instead of using Hopkins. I wonder what gives there.
znModeratorNew "Xs and Os with @gregcosell" on @TheNFLWire: When the @Lions and @Buccaneers faced off in Week 6, Todd Bowles threw everything he had at Jared Goff, and Goff responded brilliantly. No incompletions vs. pressure. and safety switches did nothing. We'll see what happens now. pic.twitter.com/suXRMjG7DA

znModeratorSorry. I was in Las Vegas. Just got back. Did anything important happen while I was gone?
Rams traded Goff to the Lions. Now their quarterback is that Steph Matthew guy, you know the walking injury guy who can’t even throw where he’s looking.
znModeratorLaimbeer and Rodman went after Stafford and Faulk
But that has nothing to do with the Rams trading Mayfield to the Tigers.

znModeratorStu Jackson@StuJRamsRams HC Sean McVay confirms TE Tyler Higbee tore his ACL. RB Kyren Williams underwent successful surgery on his hand yesterday.znModeratorGary Klein@LATimeskleinMcVay on whether he expected QB Stetson Bennett to be with team in 2024: “You know, I don’t know that. I think that’s a conversation for another time. I think he’s doing better but I wouldn’t be in a position to answer that accurately right now.”znModeratorStu Jackson@StuJRamsHigbee’s injury will require surgery. Doesn’t know timeline yet, but one of initial steps in determining is after that surgery takes place. McVay said Higbee could be a candidate for PUPznModeratorBlaine Grisak @bgrisakTSTFrom Weeks 11-17, Jackson finished 12th in pass-blocking and 9th in run-blocking via PFF. Weeks 1-9 he was 51st in pass-blocking and 60th in run-blocking.znModeratorSpeaking of age: Nacua is listed as 23 on the official Rams site, but 22 elsewhere. Wiki has him with a 2001 DOB and 22. A few other sites do as well. Weird that they can’t get a consensus age for players.
I knew it.
The truth is, Nacua is more than one person.
It makes sense.
Maybe twins born a year apart? That kind of thing.
znModeratorRams don’t have a big bank. They have some cap room for a change but it’s not “buy 2 or 3 expensive FAs plus sign their own FAs” kind of money. Or at least that’s how it looks right now. They have some space but they have to be selective about how they use it.
znModeratorThat MFer Kerby Joseph tried to do the same thing to Avila that he did to Higbee. He’s not even remotely trying to make a play here he’s just going for Avila’s knees. Do something @NFL. @HoldenCantor @seattlerams_nfl pic.twitter.com/IAASWYzHBJ
