The battle continues to heat up at the WR position. Many guys are fighting for their NFL lives at this position and many other positions too. Some camp standouts so far :
Austin Pettis has not dropped a ball I've heard. This is terrific news. He was drafted because he has an excellent set of hands and hopefully he can showcase them all season. He has been doing great so far in camp.
Lance Kendricks has been playing like a man possessed. He is big, physical, strong, and very fast. He has been catching balls left and right and has been lined up all over the place. Terrific news because this is a complex offense and this rookie TE is killing it!
Brandon Gibson has had an excellent camp too. Surprised to see another WR? Well, these guys are going all out with the amount of competition at this position. I heard he stills drops some easy balls which is unacceptable. Though he has done very good as of so far. He is making a statement. Clearly he wants to stay here and get a job.
Darian Stewart has been nothing short of spectacular. He has been flying all over the field and continues to impress. He was an undrafted free agent last year and saw some playing time in nickel and dime packages. He is making a run for the FS position. The battle between him and Craig Dahl will be very interesting to watch.
Even on Robert Quinn's first day of practice I heard he is killing it. This kid is going to be a scary pass rusher lined up across from Chris Long. He hasn't had much practice because of all the complications of his agent, his new son, and his old knee issue. He is good to go now though! Great news for all Rams fans.
Chris Long has been absolutely bullying Jason Smith. This is excellent practice for a youngster like Smith. Long has been dominant in both passing and running situations. This is good to hear because a lot of the Rams defensive success came from the defensive line creatine pressure.
And some bad news. The Rams have had a few injuries. Eugene Sims and Mike Hoomanawanui both had concussions. Jerome Murphy has a fractured foot and will miss around 10 weeks. Terrible news and hopefully he recovers quickly. Maybe this makes the Al Harris signing even more important.
