    Mock Draft 2.0
    https://www.nfl.com/news/daniel-jeremiah-2024-nfl-mock-draft-2-0-four-quarterbacks-selected-in-first-eight-picks

    Los Angeles Rams: Jackson Powers-Johnson
    Oregon · IOL · Junior

    The Rams get one of the steadiest players in the draft. Powers-Johnson can anchor their offensive line for the next decade.

    Cutting Brian Allen had to happen for Rams to move forward this offseason. Still tough to see a player get cut. Allen was the Rams starting center on the Super Bowl team. Example of a business decision. Rams get thinner on the OL.

    The Rams released veteran center Brian Allen, the team announced. An early cut gives a player a little bit of a head start to land elsewhere. The Rams incur $3.15M in dead money by doing so, but do save $4.9M against the 2024 cap.

    Ah. Thanks zn.

    On this board, tweets act like spoiled older siblings. They always have to go first.

    Nittany. The trick in posting a tweet is that for some unknown reason if you put writing in a post with the tweet, you end up with just a url. The trick is to post the tweet then add the writing afterwards via edit. That’s what I do here.

    Fine, but I’ll remind you that land-damning is a time-honored tradition on Rams boards, going all the way back to The Herd.

    We go back to the PD board, right? I started in 98. So that’s what, 60 years?

    If memory serves they won a few games in those uniforms.

    Remember the rules–no figurative lynchings on the Huddle board. For us, lynchings have to be literal. Unfortunately that would usually mean driving long distances to accomplish it.

    So we’ll try peace and reconciliation instead. It’s more convenient.

    To that end:

    The #Rams are expected to hire Jerry Schuplinski as a senior offensive assistant, source said. He did excellent work developing Michael Mayer in the #Raiders TE room last season and has also coached QBs as well.

    Rams TEs coach Nick Caley will add pass game coordinator duties to his role this year. I was told by a couple team and league people that he was an important retention by Sean McVay. Caley drew outside interest this offseason and McVay wants to keep developing him in-house.

    from https://www.turfshowtimes.com/2024/2/20/24078430/rams-salary-cap-space-2024-free-agents

    Rumors emerged on Monday that the salary cap could be $243 million, but PFT’s Mike Florio reported that a source said the number will be much higher and could be $250 million. That would mean that L.A. doesn’t have roughly $28 million in cap space; they have more like $36 million.

    Additins, huh?

    I noticed the Rams created a new coaching position – Defensive Coordonator.

    I don’t know why you guys are being so padentic. I prefer the unpretenshus instinkts of the true football fan. Someone who just gets how a new coordonator is a valuable new additin. To them the whole idea would be perfektly cleer.

    The more I study this QB draft class, the more I think it has a chance to be a Burrow/Herbert/Tua/Hurts/Love type group. The skill sets aren’t exactly the same, but the impact could end up being similar.

    saw this on reddit. apparently scheelhaase was working with mostly freshmen his first year as a coordinator.

    In Scheelhaase’s only season as offensive coordinator, the Cyclones averaged 26.2 points per game — up from 20.2 in 2022 — and went 7-6 overall in 2023, 6-3 in the Big 12 Conference. Somebody here also mentioned it was with a bunch of freshmen.

    from https://www.turfshowtimes.com/2024/2/19/24077782/rams-coaching-staff-nate-sheelhaase-sean-mcvay

    Scheelhaase is an intriguing name. He’s just 33 years old and was most recently the offensive coordinator at Iowa State. Scheelhaase was the Cyclones’ receivers coach when now-NFC West rival QB Brock Purdy was in Ames. He spent two years as the offensive coordinator before being tapped by McVay and moving on to the professional level.
    .
    Before joining the coaching ranks, Scheelhaase was a four-year starting quarterback at Illinois between 2010 and 2013. He holds the school’s record for most total offensive yards (10,364) as a dual threat threat signal caller. The former quarterback didn’t waste much time transitioning from the field to the administrative side of football, as he became the assistant direction of football operations for Illinois in May 2015. Just a few months later in August, Scheelhaase joined the coaching staff overseeing running backs. He joined Iowa State in 2018 in the same role before switching to receivers the following season.

    LA Rams are hiring Iowa State offensive coordinator Nate Scheelhaase as their Pass Game Specialist.

     The 33-year-old Scheelhaase, who played QB at Illinois, generated interest from NFL teams in recent years, and he now makes the move to the NFL to work under Sean McVay.

    Adam Schefter@AdamSchefter Another addition to the LA staff: Rams also are hiring former Falcons offensive coordinator Dave Ragone as their Quarterbacks Coach.

    From https://www.turfshowtimes.com/2024/2/19/24077801/rams-qb-coach-dave-ragone-matthew-stafford

    Ragone was Arthur Smith’s right hand man on the offensive side of the ball. The Falcons’ offense performed well under Smith and Ragone despite poor quarterback play from the likes of Desmond Ridder, Taylor Heinicke, and Marcus Mariota. Atlanta was particular effective in the ground game even before they used a top 10 selection on running back Bijan Robinson, and maximized production from Cordarrelle Patterson and Tyler Allgeier.

    Ragone has been an assistant coach at the professional level since 2011 when he joined the Tennessee Titans as wide receivers coach. He was promoted to quarterbacks coach in 2013. After bouncing around for a few seasons, he joined the Chicago Bears under head coach John Fox again as the QB’s coach between 2016-2019. It was telling that Matt Nagy kept him around on his staff when Fox was fired after a single season. Ragone became the passing game coordinator in 2020 when the team selected Justin Fields in the first round. He joined the Falcons with Smith the following season after Nagy was fired mid-year.

    LA’s new coach should not be a total stranger to the franchise, as he was part of the organization as a quarterback in 2006 after being drafted by the Houston Texas in the third round of the 2003 NFL Draft. Ragone played in NFL Europe’s 2005 season and earned offensive MVP honors while leading the Berlin Thunder to a World Bowl championship. His NFL career ended after being waived by the St. Louis Rams prior to the 2006 season.

    Rams Brothers@RamsBrothers
    Rams’ staff has pretty much been filled out. They did it quickly, as they tend to do:

    • Dave Ragone (QB coach), replacing Zac Robinson
    • Nate Scheelhaase (Pass Game Specialist), replacing Jake Peetz
    • Giff Smith (Run game coordinator/defensive line coach), replacing Eric Henderson
    • John Streicher (Coordinator of Football Strategy), replacing K.J. Black
    • Chili Davis (Special Teams Assistant), replacing Jeremy Springer
    *promoted Chris Shula to DC, replacing Raheem Morris

    Jourdan Rodrigue@JourdanRodrigue
    John “Stretch” Streicher replacing Berbenich + I believe adding more to role… is taking over a somewhat mysterious and unpublicized role held by Berbenich last year and my sense so far is it – while still taking shape – will expand.

    Sean McVay has spoken highly of Dave Ragone a few times last couple of years – the two are friends. Mentioned him as the potential Zac Robinson replacement a few weeks ago here

    KW ranks 8th though he missed 4 games.

    If he had the same avgs. in the 13 games he played but played all 17 games, he would have either 15  or 16 TDs, which would rank either 2nd or tied for 2nd.
