The Rams claimed QB Baker Mayfield off waivers, for final four or five games. Don’t sense they’ve put consideration into longer-term plan yet, outside of potential he nets a comp pick. He’d be the 4th QB to play for them this year; dropped into offense w/o Kupp, Robinson.To me, move signals Rams will seek longer-term changes at backup (Mayfield or not), by doing this so late in a season like this. For Mayfield, who will try for a contract this spring, situation is adverse. For team playing hard w/ crazy circumstances, yet another “sudden change”
is also adverse. Not sure on timeline to play yet, but if it’s minus TNF, about four games to see how it goes on the field and internally, and will take on the remaining $1.3M salary for that span.

znModeratorJourdan Rodrigue@JourdanRodrigueRams RBs coach Ra’Shaad Samples plans to accept Arizona State’s offer to become WR coach/coordinate the passing game, per source. An expanded role in designing/calling pass game made for a strong offer to Samples, who had been pursued by CFB programs through first season in NFL.znModeratorMichael Silver@MikeSilverOne NFL head coach, on Baker Mayfield: This is gonna be his third team. The team that drafted him gave up. The team that traded for him gave up. I think that tells you everything you need to know.znModeratorAdam Schefter@AdamSchefterSome of why the Rams claimed Baker Mayfield: They believe in his talent. They need a QB with Matthew Stafford sidelined for the season and John Wolford dealing with a neck injury. And if Mayfield signs elsewhere this off-season, the Rams could get back a compensatory draft pick.znModeratorHere is an idea that I do not love:
Rams 100% should claim Baker Mayfield.
Sorry! link: Baker is a Ram

znModeratorAnd pass rush. need an edge player to take advantage of all the attention Donald gets.
That might be Hoecht. We’ll see.
From another thread:
.Jourdan Rodrigue@JourdanRodrigueOn emergence of DL Michael Hoecht as an OLB, Sean McVay says they realized he could be a good edge “probably two weeks ago”. “Otherwise we would’ve done this shit a lot sooner.” Hoecht had 2 sacks, 3 hits, a TFL and forced a fumble. He had 5 pressures on 31 rushes, T7 in W13..znModeratorAbout WordPress The Rams Huddle Forums Search Howdy, JackPMiller Log Out
You can always upgrade the OLine. If Taylor Lewan, became available, we should nab him. He is a veteran, and would be that much needed leader for the OLine. If we didn’t have the injuries on the OLine, leadership is still a problem.
Yeah I know about Lewan but if they don’t do it, I’m fine with that–for example neither OT allowed any pressures last game. The problem’s on the interior, but then, they have more than 12 different interior OL to choose from already if they all go to camp next summer.
I just don’t see the issues you see in the future.
I think by far the bigger problem is the secondary, especially CB.
znModeratorStafford is getting up there in age, for what NFL players careers are. He wants to be protected. I can see he will say it.
And he will be and he knows it. See, remember, we see the 2023 OL situation differently. So you think Stafford sees it your way. I think he sees it my way.
znModeratorThe Rams played hard on Sunday and no one played harder than LB Bobby Wagner. He had 7 tackles, 2 sacks and an INT against his former team. Wagner has tied his career best of 5 sacks on the season, with 5 games yet to play. Hopefully in year 2 as a Ram, Wagner returns to playoffs pic.twitter.com/aXIAS4SYOJ

Michael Hoecht and Leonard Floyd combined for 10 pressures and 2 sacks..Greg Beacham@gregbeachamSean McVay acknowledges that Tutu Atwell “probably should have gotten more opportunities earlier in the season, and that’s something I won’t run away from, because all this guy has done is answer the bell when he’s had his chances.”.Stu Jackson@StuJRamsAsked Sean McVay about examples of the growth he brought up postgame yesterday, mentioned being able to get DB Decobie Durant and S Russ Yeast involved, plus the play of RB Cam Akers and WR Tutu Atwell as bright spots..Jourdan Rodrigue@JourdanRodrigueOn emergence of DL Michael Hoecht as an OLB, Sean McVay says they realized he could be a good edge “probably two weeks ago”. “Otherwise we would’ve done this shit a lot sooner.” Hoecht had 2 sacks, 3 hits, a TFL and forced a fumble.

Rams DL Michael Hoecht said OLB role started out as “in case of emergency” (i.e. due to injury), and obviously became more of a reality as they dealt with injuries/attrition there.Pre-NFL experience as OLB “almost none,” aside from lining up at 5-technique a little in college.

znModeratorJourdan Rodrigue@JourdanRodrigueSean McVay says he expects Matthew Stafford to have a “healthy offseason” and says “no” when asked if injury is long-term.znModeratorStafford had no shot of winning in Detroit. Detroit was trying to build him, an OLine. Something we are not doing here. They drafted Offensive Tackles, Riley Reiff(2012) & Taylor Decker(2016), Guard, Laken Tomlinson(2015), & Center, Frank Ragnow(2018). They were all first round picks. Decker & Ragnow are still with the Lions. Reiff is in Minnesota, and Tomlinson is now in San Fran. All of them are starters.
We don’t agree about what the Rams have done or what Stafford would say.
znModeratorI'm not here to knock Wollen, because he's been outstanding.. But the ball thrown to Atwell was woefully underthrown. It's that's out where it should have been, he's not going to be caught from behind. https://t.co/uJSAMJKsBb

znModeratorI do think that Stafford will say he wants the OLine upgraded. In other words, get a LOT in free agency or he’ll retire. There is a rumor the Titans may cut Taylor Lewan in a cost cutting move, and if that is true, I think a one year or two year deal, would be good sign for us then.
Stafford never said that in Detroit, why would he say it here?
Rams have candidates all along the line for the summer. That’s the thin silver thread in the dark clouds of OL injuries. They can bring any number of experienced players to camp from the long list of guys they played this season. A couple of them were not bad at all either–I think LOG has been in far worse shape than LOT has been (except for Evans).
Maybe they will have money for a top LOT in free agency. That would be nice. But if they don’t they have all these bodies to work with. After all this year they started 5 LOTs 8 OGs and 3 OCs.
znModeratorAlso the first team with 12 different O-Line configurations in 12 games since 1978. https://t.co/YUa7UE6Ja4
