darrelgreenie Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 After a stellar pre-season/training camp the Rams sneak SAFs Cody Davis and Rashard Hall onto their practice sqaud. In another note one of my favorite DL prospects got cut today by the Giants. They cut Marvin Austin, I wanted Austin when we took Jenkins. I would love to take a flier on the guy he has all the tools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Momma There Goes That Man Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Never posted it yesterday, but even though it was Ohio, Teddy Bridgewater looked pretty damn impressive Clowney was not happy about that game lol. Bridgewater did look great and he should be able to keep it up all season against that schedule unlike Geno last year who started red hot and then faded once Big 12 play got tougher.

Haven't yet sat down and watched Bridgewater thoroughly but from what I have seen he looks quite a bit better than Geno did, even during Geno's early season his passes just didn't have the ball placement of an elite prospect. That said he probably gets drafted over Clowney unless a team like the Bills or Dolphins finish last overall (which, imo, is unlikely). The expected first overall picks-- raiders, jets, or jaguars-- all need qb so badly that they'll likely pass on Clowney, similar to the raiders passing on Calvin Johnson for Jamarcus Russell. And it'll be a mistake for all those teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I never really watched Geno as a prospect closely or Bridgewater last year just commenting on how it looks like they are both going to start the season putting up video game numbers. Agree with you on teams passing on Clowney too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acuratl1984 Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 I hope somehow he lands with a decent team. I will truly feel so bad for him if he goes to the freaking Raiders or the JETS Ideal Situation: Clowney goes to Raiders. He can be a beast and that team will never go anywhere. Bridgewater goes to Jacksonville. Maybe JETS if Rex gets fired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a huge fan of Clowney (I remember seeing his high school tapes before he even played in college) and I want that guy to go to a team that I could root for. Plus I loved Mario Williams too, so having him combine with Mario would be awesome, but Bills likely won't be picking top 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinC Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 What do folks anticipate our needs being next year? I'm thinking (in no particular order and barring injuries): RT RG Slot Receiver ILB DE NT CB Good question and good list. I'm thinking RT, RG, WR, DE, S, CB, ILB. Cofield is a stud at NT IMO. However its very early to start thinking about our specific needs - we need to see how the season goes and who develops from the younger guys and also which of our own key free agents we bring back.

Gibbs Hog Heaven Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 What do folks anticipate our needs being next year? ..... I'll leave depth out of it and go with the starting XI, both sides of the ball. True 34 NT. Disruptive DE. Starting ILB. True #1 Corner. (Even if Amerson steps up.). RT. Slot receiver to replace Santana. RG. C. Give me four or five of those to add to what we have and increase young, talented depth and it will be another winning off-season, Hail.

Top flight corners, especially as rookies, are hard to come by past round 1, so I don't expect to see us go there again. Every other position usually has great value in the 2nd round, so that's exciting for our team. We aren't looking for the high priority positions, aside from cb, and that is a great state to be in.

I actually think we will take another look at Talib again and there are going to be a lot of FA options at CB again so that added with the younger guys we have makes me think we will be ok at CB as far as the draft goes. Not sure if you listed each tier in order but I would look for ILB and RT ahead of DE in that tier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you all can figure out the name..... Honestly, from past FA signings we always seem to avoid the biggest name at the position. What about Sam Shields from the Packers? He'll be 26 next year. Fits the whole sign-younger-players-entering-their-prime thing that the FO has made a focus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laron Burgundy Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 I suspect we continue our trend of high upside picks now that our roster seems fairly settled. With alleviated cap space we should easily be able to resign our important free agents. Early assumption, but I expect Fletcher and Moss to retire. For biggest upside we might be looking at Antone Exum from VT. Converted safety, and supposedly he'll return in October from an acl tear he suffered last january, but his 2012 games look pretty solid. Broke up the 4th highest amount of passes in college football, his talent is pretty evident. A good tackler for a corner. He doesn't give you the leaping ability or length of someone like Amerson, but he tenaciously covers his receiver, rarely allowing an uncontested throw. If his recovery is slow, he might fall to the 2nd or lower, making him a high upside target for us. Doubling down on corners in back to back years may not be awful if we struggle defending the pass again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I am a homer.I'm still not a big fan of Reese. He doesn't have particularly good hands and I just don't see the explosiveness you'd expect of someone who could survive in the pros at his size. If there is a player I hope we get to replace Moss it's got to be Robert Herron. He's got fantastic hands and great acceleration, good agility but not an elite level. Plays almost exclusively in the slot at Wyoming. Only downside on him is experience (route-running, playing the sidelines, etc) and injuries, but he hasn't had anything major. Concussion as a freshman and a shin injury (looks like shin splints) as a junior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
