We had legit guys in Pharoah Cooper and Powell but 90% of the time McVay is just wanting to fair catch everything. Yeah and honestly I don't even look at kick returners. I may be wrong but it seems like league wide they're almost always touch backs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A touchback is fine since we aren't really surrendering yards. We do surrender yards almost every punt. Just makes it harder than it has to be for the offense. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah like the kid but Trammell was the worst punt returner in the league. Get an upgrade please! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NVRamsFan Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Good deal IMO hope he can keep producing as the #3/4 WR for us. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeotheLion Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Smart signing. Although I get why they like Robinson, I think Tutu is way underutilized. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tutu was underutilized when Kupp came back but I love bringing back Robinson. If it wasnt for him the Rams dont make their playoff run. He played a big role in that. Now you have an offseason to figure out how to utilize Kupp, Puka, Robinson, and Tutu in the offseason without really completely phasing out one of them in the process. Not to mention Allen the tight end who will have a bigger role since Higbee will miss significant time with his injury. Unless the Rams go out and draft a tight end or sign one in FA to start over Allen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quinyon Mitchell, CB, Toledo 52. Adisa Isaac, EDGE, Penn State 83. Christian Haynes, IOL, Connecticut 100. Spencer Rattler, QB, South Carolina 153. James Williams, S, Miami (FL) 154. Ainias Smith, WR, Texas A&M 177. Dillon Johnson, RB, Washington 191. Jared Wiley, TE, TCU 212. Joshua Karty, K, Stanford 217. Drake Nugent, IOL, Michigan 218.

I have no issues with us taking touchbacks every time on kickoffs. I honestly think if you return every single one your average starting field position would be worse than the 25. But the punts are just bizarre. Austin Trammell isn't worthy of a roster spot as a WR so I have no idea why we gave him a spot as a returner. Might as well have Kupp back there and fair catch everything like he use too. That's all Trammell does and he makes me nervous af back there. I think to your last point, I get wanting gadget and depth guys. I don't see how Trammell falls into either.

I think Trammel's really only gotten the spot because of the nagging-around injuries we've carried into seasons at the receiver position necessitating protecting guys who were definitely going to get way more reps at receiver and we knew we needed the depth. (i.e. Kupp coming off injury into last season, Jefferson the year prior); not that those guys would have been getting return reps, but - particularly on punts - Tutu had gotten some reps there as a rookie and could conceivably get some there this upcoming season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Ramster Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 (edited) https://www.instagram.com/reel/C3noGzRuA-P/?igsh=ZWI2YzEzYmMxYg== Lend a play league. Stafford does a better job of keeping Warner honest. From the play in which Gurley scored vs Dallas on the cut in. Feels good man.

Football_Bachelor08 Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 I don't expect the Rams to bring back Dotson, but maybe they'll surprise us. They probably have a better chance with Shelton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
