I remember post draft watching and reading about this guy.
And then when the preseason rumblings from camp and games.
I remember Early on @den-the-coach and I concurring that this kid was a ball player.
I know we weren't alone in that assessment. Not on ROD. Too many skilled eyeballs.
I had him taking over a starting spot early. He did earn that spot
though a bit later than my projections. And then being impressive enough
as a Rookie to be given the dot. It looked like he was about to explode.
The difference in our run defense with him playing the majority of the snaps was noticeable.
Unfortunately for him, teammates and ourselves the injury bug hit him right as he was really
coming into his own.
The playoffs hit and I am praying that he could get back and be healthy
the break between the championship and
the Super Bowl allowed him to get caught up physically and mentally.
A small tweet from Jourdan prior to the SB that Reeder would not be wearing the dot
seemed to be a sign that Jone's PT was going to be full go for the SB.
How did the kid respond on the biggest stage of the game? Nothing short of excellent.
7 tackle's 6 solo - 1 sack - 2 TFL'S and a huge pass defense with 3 QB hits
I personally , am fast becoming a Huge E.J. fan. They talked about his lack of range coming out of college,
While he may not be a all out speedster by ILB standards, he appears to be a very cerebral type.
You know the type of player who puts himself in the right place through great instincts and opponent study.
I know Rams fans have heard the too slow , too small stories before .
But for me what I see is another big time Ram on the up. If he stays healthy....
He makes a huge jump and LA will have the best ILB we've seen in a while.
Who is your "FIXIN TO EXPLODE" Ram prospect?
