    It was worth it, though, because the Rams got Isaiah Pead.

    What did the Rams do when they realized they missed on Wagner? Pead.

    LBs Wagner & Jones in the middle? The @RamsNFL   just significantly changed their defensive strategy. #MiddlePressures #RunStoppers #PowerAndSpeed
    ….
    me: Both Miller and Wagner are great veteran leaders who won super bowls before the Rams, but beyond that they’re obviously very different animals. Miller has a great outside rush & BW has great instincts as an inside run defender & is good in coverage.
    .
    IMO the defense is 2 different things w/ 1 or the other.

    “How can the Rams afford another star”. The salary cap is real. Some teams just have smarter people upstairs. Rams also draft well. Get lots of starters on the cheap.

    could he be the sleeper that emerges in 2022?

    JUSTIN HOLLINS

    Overview
    Three-year starter with athletic ability and length teams look for from edge talent. Hollins has shown consistent growth as a prospect and flashes every-down potential at times, but his lack of consistent aggression and force could be a limiting factor. He should find special teams reps early on, but his future might very well be defined by his team’s ability to develop and unlock his capacity as a disruptive pass rusher.
    Strengths
    • Plays with plus athleticism and movement skills in both tight quarters and open field
    • Possesses agility and looseness in both upper and lower body to be a slippery target
    • Plays with eyes beyond initial block and into backfield
    • Stick-and-move handwork allows him to punch and work around edge blockers
    • Accelerates with adequate close-out range to challenge runners headed for the corner
    • Can drop and and cover if asked to do so
    • Hunts for football as pass rusher and has penchant for strip sacks
    • Sudden inside move in pass rush could become dangerous weapon with more refinement
    • Quality upfield get-off as pass rusher
    • Unique “triple-jump” stride on third step upfield can propel him past kick-sliding tackles
    Weaknesses
    • Needs more dog in his fight; doesn’t always play with aggressive demeanor teams look for
    • Needs to confront and shed blockers at point of attack rather than riding on them
    • Play strength is below average
    • Has tendency to lose leverage when forced over top of blocker on backside squeeze versus run
    • Will need to improve hand skill to more consistently grease the edge on edge rush
    • Better upper-body turn at top of the rush arc could improve efficiency and tightness of path to quarterback
    • Tends to disappear during stretches of the game

    i like rochell.  but i am a little worried about safety.  fuller will be back, but rapp was inconsistent.  and burgess was nowhere to be seen.

    I think it will be Scott and Fuller. And that’s a promising combo.

    The Rams have had some weird endings. Kevin Carter, Kurt Warner, Todd Gurley, Eric Dickerson, Jerome Bettis… w v

    McVay does that too. But it doesn’t seem like a boneheaded miscalculation with him, the way it was with Bettis and probably Warner too, and it’s never personal (I don’t think…well except for Goff, there seemed to be a personal element in that). With him, it’s starting to be a pattern, and it looks more ruthless than it does weird. Dumped all their corners in 2019, during the season, and added Ramsey. Dumped Wilson and added Staley. Dumped Woods and added Robinson. Goff for Stafford. It looks like an integral part of who he is. You can at least see the logic behind it, and when I say “ruthless” that’s a mixed thing–on the one hand it seems cold, and on the other hand it’s in the name of upgrading. Part of it is like he’s a dating partner who changes overnight after meeting someone richer. It looks like impulsive reaching for opportunities, and no one can say it is all choices.

    The #Rams give LB Bobby Wagner a 5-year, $50M contract that can be worth up to $65 million. After weeks of talking, Wagner lands back in the division as he wanted.

    Jourdan Rodrigue@JourdanRodrigue
    For weeks, the Rams were quite public about their interest in Wagner, who they believe can align with rising star ILB Ernest Jones and help keep them multiple on the back end. Wagner can do everything and will be a day-1 leadership add as well.

    Colin Cowherd@ColinCowherd
    Bobby Wagner to the Rams. Lord. So now an Elite owner, GM, HC, QB, WR, DT, LB, CB. HOF level talent at each position. The Jets & Giants combined, are not sure if either of their QB’s can even play.
    .
    RamseyThe4th@RamseyDa4th
    Bobby Wagner gets me excited because of his knowledge and football smarts. He will be the captain and will call the plays on the field. This is a huge upgrade, even though another corner would have been nice.

    Bobby Wagner is the best off-ball linebacker the Rams have had since London Fletcher

    Well alright.

    They don’t have a top edge rusher yet. Wagner is not that. But they can scheme some pass rush in. What Wagner does IMO is add leadership, instincts, and a knack for making plays to the LB corps. We’ll see how they use that.

    Maybe they become a blitzing D. Wagner can contribute to that, you would think, though he has only averaged 2-3 sacks a year for 10 seasons.

    Now’s a good time to remember all those frustrating stops BW made on Gurley, sometimes seemingly out of nowhere.

    So I heard that Will Rock kissed Chris Smith at the Oscar Mayers party, or something. That was on the news I think.

    Not sure if it means all that much to me.

    Enough Baker Mayfield talk. Mediocre quarterback, bad teammate. Case Keenum with Eddie Haskell personality.

    I’d like to see Goff and the Lions make the playoffs this year. I’d also like to see Aaron Rogers and the Packers fall on their faces. w v

     

    I have to say, that would be sweet.
