Series Thread: Ogletree

[bluepigpen]

Now that the Rams have lost Ogletree for the season or at least a long period of time, who plays? Bates, Hager, Barron...... A heck of a lost.

 

[LongtimeRamsFan42]

Really is terrible...the guy had been a tackling machine for us this season. I think they mix it up between Bates and Barron.

I haven't heard anything officially? .....is he really done for the season?

I thought it was only a sprained ankle.

Ankle surgery! OMG! well Bates will have to fill in nicely. theoretically he could be back in time for the playoffs.

Rams expected to re-sign LB Jo-Lonn Dunbar to fill roster spot of injured LB Alec Ogletree.

Ayers to the weak side, Bates/Barron to strong side. Adding Dunbar could shake that up, as he's a better weak side fit.

Never a huge Dunbar fan but he is at least good for a big hit every game or two. I also like the fact that he should be able to plug right on in.

Ogletree was playing very well. The defense is going to take a hit but you figure thats why Fisher has made such an emphasis on defensive depth after the first part of last season.

Wasn't Dunbar supposedly a problem in the locker room? I thought that was one of the claims when he was cut. Not sure what to think about this...

I think the Dunbar signing is only due to the fact he knows the system and step in immediately and contribute. Bad break for Alec as he was off the a terrific start. Maybe we'll see him in 8 weeks at home against the Cardinals. The important thing is to get him healthy for 2016.

Very bad break, he was leading the NfL in tackle + assists total!

what the heck, i rather have hager and bates starting then Dunbar....

Agreed, especially if he really was the problem they claimed, seemed puzzling they'd add a guy who was a "problem" in the locker room, I don't care how well he knows the D...

 

[Jermaine133]

I'm not sure if i want a practice squad LB in Bates or a 7th round pick in Hager filling in.. But then again i don't have a choice...smh. Wish we would have picked up some quality backup LB's.

I would hope that getting cut and nobody else picking him up would shake some sense into him. Maybe he does everything possible to take hold of this opportunity.

 

[zeke2829]

Well at least there is a chance of Alec Ogletree coming back at the end of the season.

 

[Rambunctious]

I would think that Dunbar would be used as a back up to Bates. He knows the system so I think it's a good move.
