BStanRamFan Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Gerald Everett- Made a nice play vs Oak in week 2 of Preaseason for 25 yards catching the ball out of the backfield. Showed his elusiveness and potential to be a Jordan Reed Type player. Cooper Kupp- Not going to beat you over the head with more on him, but he should be in contention for OROY if he catches 80+ balls as us Rams fans are projecting. Goff's safety net. John Johnson- Will contribute on special teams. Came up with a pick against Goff in practice last week. I see him being groomed more for next year if we can't resign Joyner or Mo Alexander. Josh Reynolds- Came up with a big TD vs Oak last week. Finally healthy and showing well in camp. I can see him being our #4-#5 WR this year. Samson Ebukam-Been injured. Nothing to share Tanzel Smart- He might actually end up playing significant time at DE for us with Easley out for the year and Donald holding out. Sam Rogers- Will lock up a roster spot as the sole FB on the team. First guy on the practice field every day. Will occasionally catch passes out of the backfield and pick up a first down. Ejuan Price- Will make the roster and come in as a 3rd down rusher. Played well in the first preseason game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BladeKor Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Takk McKinley had about 10 snaps against Steelers and boy he looked fast, he didn't get a sack, but he did get real close. He did get a QB hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He added another TD run on a nice bootleg; He shook a defender who had him dead to rights and hop-stepped into the end zone. The debate for week one still remains, but odds are that Tom Savage will get the nod. Welp, that debate is over. O'Brien confirms that Tom Savage is the starter.

candyman93 Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Kizer just got named starter. He's been the only decent QB in preseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only go off of boxscores - how has Brock looked so far? The numbers are pretty bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has looked as the numbers. He doesn't read defences well, if his first read isn't open, he runs. His throws are off target. He throws the ball low.

Hate to lose the 2nd rounder, but you guys did us a major solid on that. It's honestly a win/win - you guys got a ton of draft capital, we got to wash our hands of that guy, and you guys don't even have to play him. Thanks!

Jabrill Peppers has been great on special teams. Njoku hasn't done anything. tbf, Njoku would have had a deep TD catch if Kizer didn't over throw him in the Giants game. Njoku beat his defender and had several steps on him... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a big problem, when your fundamental flaw as a QB is passing. But no trouble, personally I thought we should of tried to get more off you, like an additional 3rd or 4th. My concern is that we have wasted too much time on Brock, Kizer and Kessler both could of had more first team reps if he wasn't here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ninjapirate Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Derek Barnett is good at football. Kid could be great. Sidney Jones is still rehabbing. Rasul Douglas gets a lot of practice love and has done ok in the games. Mack Hollins has impressed everyone since day 1. Donnel Pumphrey hasn't looked that great. Might need a red shirt year. Shelton Gibson has been bad. Might not make the team. Elijah Qualls hasn't done well in practice but has played better in the games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he is serviceable in protection, he will get reps quicker, but getting chunk yards is something neither Turbin or Gore are known for. If either current starter gets injured, I would nab him quick for an FF league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingsrule Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Dalvin Cook and Pat Elflein both should be opening day starters. They've both stood out so far. Murrays injury has opened the door for Cook to get the bulk of the workload. Jaleel Johnson has also had a nice camp and excellent preseason. I think it's just a matter of time before he's starting at UT. Datone Jones and Tom Johnson aren't everydown UTs and last year's UT Shamar Stephen is more of a NT. Ben Gedeon has been getting first team reps at OLB, good chance he's the third LB opening day. Rodney Adams and Stacey Coley have looked decent at WR, but haven't impressed on ST. Both should make the roster with Floyds suspension. cant say much else about the other rookies. I'm curious to see how Bucky Hodges will be used.

SteelKing728 Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 @vikingsrule You forgot to mention Tashawn Bower, who's been a nightmare to face off against in preseason. Granted, its vs guys who are 2nd/3rd stringers, but I don't think we can afford to put him on PS. Still needs technical refinement, but the ability is there. Hodges is a good receiver, especially out wide, but apparently his in line play and blocking need more work. He will make the roster though. Danny Isodara moved up to second string and has been okay. He'll make the roster because of that, and because TJ Clemmings is awful. Ifeadi Odenigbo has shown some flash, but our DE depth is deep. Likely PS material who hopefully won't be stolen away. Currently battling Stephen Weatherly for a roster spot. I had no idea who Eric Wilson was, but he looks like a Zimmer SLB. Flies around the field, good tackler, solid instincts. He'll be Anthony Barr's backup this season. Jack Tocho will be a PS candidate. I don't think he's anything special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
