Turf Show Times has written some articles about Tyler Davis and whether or not he can help to fill the Aaron Donald void. In the CBS article below the writer seems to expect that Davis will be able to step up to assist the Rams this year. If the writer is right then LA got a steal at where they selected the defensive lineman. Do you have any thoughts about Davis? Do you expect him to contribute right away or could he take some time to develop?
Please comment on whatever you want, thanks for checking out Turf Show Times and have a great day!
NFC rookies picked after NFL Draft Day 1 who could earn key roles in 2024: Marshawn Lloyd among 16 sleepers (cbssports)
“Los Angeles Rams
DT Tyler Davis
Drafted: No. 196, sixth round
Impressive stat to know: Missed nine tackles on 2,034 snaps in his Clemson career
Yes, Braden Fiske is going to make noise next to Kobie Turner on the Rams defensive front. But he’s not the only defensive tackle picked by GM Les Snead who will do so.
Davis was, in my estimation, one of the finest run-stuffing defensive tackles in this draft class, and he demonstrated pass-rush capabilities too at Clemson next to Orhorhoro. And I’ll write this too — if Orhorhoro was an early Round 2 pick the Falcons needed to move up for, then Davis belonged somewhere on Day 2 or, at the latest, early Day 3. Not Round 6.”
“Washington’s story is set a year before Jackie Robinson revolutionized baseball, where his UCLA teammate, LA Rams running back Kenny Washington shattered the NFL’s color barrier, altering the course of sports history and igniting the civil rights movement. Despite overcoming five knee surgeries, Washington played three seasons in the NFL, averaging 6.1 yards per carry and still holds the Rams’ record for the longest run from scrimmage with a 92-yard burst in 1947. After being shunned by the NFL because he was black, the All-American Washington joined the LAPD and played minor league football for the Hollywood Bears on weekends.”
Rams News: Matthew Stafford’s Minicamp Status Revealed As Contract Talks Continue (si.com)
“The 36-year-old is hoping to earn more guaranteed coin during the last two seasons of his current contract, an issue on which L.A. has not budged. Thus far, Stafford has suited up for the club’s voluntary OTAs (Organized Team Activities). Head coach Sean McVay, for one, anticipates that Stafford will attend, per of Cameron DaSilva of Rams Wire.
Only (if that’s an appropriate word for this amount of money) $15 million of Stafford’s remaining two years and $58 million is guaranteed.”
