Did any of these guys ever see the field? I don’t remember seeing that much beef on the DL. Does anybody know anything about these 300lbers? Is there any chance there’s a PS guy in there to develop?

These guys were not cut from the Rams, they were other teams cuts.

He is a space eater, nothing more, who offers little vs the pass. They may resign him to the practice squad but he played with the 3rds and obviously didn’t impress in the final preseason game.

He is a JAG who never developed as a 3rd round pick in Baltimore. He has had his share of injuries, one suspension and bounced between teams. IMO nothing to see here

No he's not. I watched him as a Charger. He's undersized and plays like it.
Is this the same Desmond King who was an all-pro while a Charger? If so, we might assume he played pretty well or at least most everyone else saw him differently :)

Not saying this is our guy but we desperately need a space eating run stuffer and not as much a pass rusher so he's in the ball park.

Pass rush is needed but nowhere near as much as a run stuffer. Not gonna be able to rush the pass if we can't stuff the run.
 
You can say the same about Marcus Peters. Desmond was the same type of CB, who defended the pass most of the time but gave up a lot of big plays because of like Peters he freelanced too much. Like Peters the OC could influence him to drop coverage by route design.

Why do you think the Chargers traded him for a 6th round pick? He lasted a whole year with TN. Then he lasted 2 years with Houston. If you think noteable is just name recognition then fine. But he's not as good as perhaps his hype.
