He is so not sure what they do behind Stewart. But then we do like to play people out of position up there so who knows.

If you have a chance to re-watch Sunday's game, Johnson played a lot; and, almost entirely, at Edge.
He was a down lineman the prior two years but was used quite a bit at Edge in the pre-season.
Can confirm. PFF has detailed listings of where players have taken every snap. DJ has taken every snap this year at right or left OLB just like Hampton has.
Also can just watch the game. It's clear where Johnson lined-up and how he was used on Sunday ... at Edge.
I noticed one play (in the 1st half) where he was in a down, D-Line position. Really just right there to see.
What they do going forward ... Who knows? They have an experienced Edge on the Practice Squad in Luketa. Highly doubt they only have three Edge players (Verse, Young and Stewart) active on game-day.
They have had success playing Dlineman at edge though. Hoecht for instance.

Not really surprised, Hampton was kinda whack. He had ample time to prove himself and hasn't done anything. Good luck to him though.

He's not going to crack the top 3 nobody who replaces Hampton will and I'm not really worried about it. The only surprise to me was his ST time and he was good there. That's important to the team hope they can replace him there.
Karty 's transaction said waived, no recall and he's on the practice squad.
That’s not what no recall means. Once he clears waivers they can certainly sign him to practice squad

Yeah the no recall is just the designation for a player that isn't vested. You become vested after completing 4 years in the NFL has nothing to do with the PS as you point out.

Wasn't aware of that. Isn't he our backup C?Some here thought it would be Limmer that got waived. (might still happen). Guy has been in the doghouse all season

He is not sure why we'd cut him since the only other person who's played center on the team is Avilla to back up Shelton.
I wonder if he’s in the dog house or is just not been showing well in practice. Either way, I hope not to find out because our line is playing well and probably the only way he sees the field is due to injuries.Some here thought it would be Limmer that got waived.

Justin Dedich can also play center.
Played mostly center in college at USC.
Limmer has only been active three games this year; whereas Dedich has been active for 12 games.
On Sunday, when the Rams emptied the bench for most of the fourth quarter, Dedich went-in at center, with Humphries at LT and Quessenberry at RG.
Dedich came in the 4th qtr along with Quesenberry at LG, Humphries at LT and Dedich at C. they all got 12 snaps. I;'m guessing fron that Didich is the backup C.
With a guilt-inducing tone: Oh, so now it's not enough for a fan to watch the game just once, you're assigning homework now?
Just kidding, glad for the heads-up. Didn't realize they had a position switch for Johnson.

I can totally get that part but my guess is the Rams probably feel better about replacing that part plus adding better depth to the defense.
