Hard to understand how someone like this goes undrafted. Very productive college career at Louisville, good measurables at 6'5, 265, but being 25, they considered him old. Once I watched some of his plays, I knew he would have a shot to make the roster.
Rams are much better depth-wise than just 2 years ago. Still need work on kickoff coverage.
Lots of hard decisions. Baily was impressive, as well as Neil on defense. Hunter showed up. He looks explosive at times. He needs to be a little more patient before making his move at the line of scrimmage and use his peripheral vision. When he sees a clear look on the outside, he eats up yards.
Good play from backup WRs. Green is a load. Stetson looked much better.
Saints are beat up and maybe a bit tired. The Rams took it to them on both sides of the ball.

7 att for 38 (5.3) in the first half plus he had an 8th (for 15 yds) called back. That would have put him at 6.6 yds/att for the first half. In the second half he carried 5 time for 30. He ran strong all day IMO. 12 for 68 (5.6) with a TD.
Excellent analysis, sometimes you wonder why certain players continue to make the squad or the practice squad and watching Elias Neal go sideline to sideline as Havenstein pointed out made us all understand, what they like about him.

I thought that ER #47 Wesley Bailey has outplayed long time veteran Keir Thomas thus far.
IMO Bailey would be a better fit behind Garrett/ Young / Stewart @ ER. I would not cut #47 next Sunday
#11 Keir Thomas has been a Rams since 2022 = 6 tackles & zero sacks

Totally agree, the love Thomas, but Bailey has balled out and seems like he'll be an upgrade.
Based on PS 1&2:
For my money Bailey makes the 53. Kier is injured, PUP him.
With Trost and Dedich out maybe keep Blaske?
I liked Waters more than Hunter. Better vision.
Not in love with Keenan. Norton instead for backup NT?
Did like Zdroit. Alway pushing/penetrating.
Hope we can keep Presley on the PS. X insurance.
Not in love with Klare so far.
JMO FWIW.

That's the best game I've seen Stetson play in the Pre-season. I'm liking the fact that I believe we can get back to having a solid developmental practice squad like we used to have every year with the guys we have out there right now...
He's extremely athletic as well (RAS score for edge rushers had him ranked 40th out of 2,239, going all the way back to 1987). I don't care if it supposedly doesn't matter; that's amazing shit right there, and combined with the tape from Louisville, it's a shock that he wasn't drafted. I could see a role for him as a #3 edge rusher, I really could.
Best I can tell the following non starters who played last week, didn't play this week:
WR Xavier Smith
OL Beaux Limmer
DB Zech McPhearson
DL Ty Hamilton
EDGE/DL Desjuan Johnson
Injury? Or did they make the team?

Pretty sure X, Limmer and Desjuan make the team.
McPhearson over Lampkin? Hmm, is a ST demon?
Hamilton over Keenan/Norton? OOOKay, maybe he's improved.

Very good question.
My best guess is.....(Known) Rams Org. knows fully what Johnson/ Limmer & Smith can bring at this time. Johnson is highly prized, improving at all times & under valued by most fans in this defense.
IMO Ty Hamilton vs Keenan is no contest...Tim Keenan III was a steal coming to us in the 7th rd in May. Tim is a pure 100% NT that fits in great behind the outstanding NT Poona Ford. Hamilton would fit better in a 4-3 defense as a DT.
No solid thoughts on the past 4th rd. pick of the Eagles Zech McPhearson.
However it should be said: our CB room is loaded. Add in the problem 5th CB Cam Lampkin has been our best young cover corner in pre season thus far.
UDFA 2024 Cam has improved greatly since his rookie season & looked very good. ......to make things even harder those 2026 UDFA's rookie corners Al'Zillion Hamilton & Nyzier Fourqurean have excelled in camp & pre season.
Huh? Were you actually watching the Rams at the time? Define 2nd tier.

What in hell was that commentary team in this game? Horrible. One long freaking interview for 3 hours.
I would have been better off muting the tv.

The Rams announcers on this game are being trashed roundly on social media
One person said it was the worst announcing he's ever heard.
