53- Man Roster, 2017 Edition

[SJ76]

Still wish he would have been on the field tomorrow. Things are in our favor vs the Colts, but there is still a lot of the Fisher cultured hanging around this team like a smelly fart with this team at this point.

We need every advantage we can muster to get off to a good start this year until the McVay/Phillips culture takes hold.

It's still a moral boost and I don't think the defense needs him tomorrow. Could be wrong

Glad he made this decision and didn't keep holding out in to the regular season

 

[ANGELAKERAMS]

If he would've made this decision early in the week, he could've played week 1.

Still on him for not reporting sooner. What was the point of holding out for 5 extra days?

He was looking for the Rams to waive that ~$1.4M in fines. Not sure when the Rams made that offer but they told him he needed to report today if he wanted that waiver.

Dats still a lot of cash! Even for someone wanting $20M/year

So, after all is said and done, he gained nothing and cost himself a games worth of pay for a man pouting about his lack of pay.

Pretty much. If this could've happened by last Saturday or Sunday, the guy would have a good chance of being in the lineup for the game. And thus, could've probably improved our chances of winning.

No, he gets paid for tomorrow's game...

We signed another O-lineman from Detroit, Cornelius Lucas. Looks like McVay is becoming a younger version of Bellicheat-Not tolerating any dead weight even if you are on the PS. One of the O-lineman they signed on final-roster cutdown day is goneso. That would be J.J Dielman. PS people better wake-up because McSnead just cut Eldrenkamp who apparently has warn out his welcome on the PS! Probably also making room for AD who is on the unofficial starters list!

Rams Sign OT Cornelius Lucas, Waive Dielman and Jefferson

 

[Retroram52]

Maybe Wichmann is headed back to the PS. Maybe.

Starter or not they needed to make room for AD on the 53 man roster once he reported of course. But, my reply is about AD starting, not sure if he will start but I have heard an official report yesterday on NFL Radio that he will play!

Sounds like he dominated in practice yesterday.

Aaron Donald is already dominating Rams practices

Rams might limit Aaron Donald's snaps against the Washington Redskins on Sunday, but in practice he seemed up to speed

 

[Retroram52]

Turn the man loose if he is that dominant.

 

[Vitamike]

Turn the man loose if he is that dominant.

As rare as it may be, I gotta disagree with you here RR if your talking about the snap count.

Keeping AD 'available' will be job one for the Rams, until he is truly in game shape.

 

[Red_Chaos]

i guess this could be a blessing in disguise, less snaps means more playing time for rookies and in game scenarios on ok we gotta stop the offense without AD. Not to mention less opportunities to get hurt.
