Week 1’s in the books. How did 3k adjust his 53-man roster projection?" 2019 Los Angeles Rams Offseason2019 Los Angeles Rams Preseason2019 preseason Week 2 Los Angeles Rams depth chart review http://www.theramslockerroom.com/authentic-joe-namath-jersey , 53-man roster projectionNew,38commentsWeek 1’s in the books. How did 3k adjust his 53-man roster projection?CDTPosition parentheticals denote the number of players at the position that make the 53-man. Rookies and undrafted rookies are also noted in parentheses.Previous projectionsApril 29, post-2019 NFL DraftJune 13, post-minicampJuly 27, pre-training campAugust 6, post-training campQB (2)In: Jared Goff, Blake BortlesOut: Brandon Allen, John WolfordChanges from last projection: N/AWell Week 1 certainly went to Wolford. Will he get the QB3 looks moving forward? Even if he does, it likely doesn’t change things for the 53-man but could get Wolford onto the practice squad if this is what to expect moving forward.RB (4)In: Todd Gurley, Darrell Henderson (rookie), Malcolm Brown, John KellyOut: Justin Davis, Matt Colburn (UDFA)Changes from last projection: N/AKelly actually got the start against the Oakland Raiders. Is that a sincere indication of his status on the running back depth chart? I’d still note Davis was significantly more favored on special teams.WR (6)In: Brandin Cooks,Robert Woods, Cooper Kupp, Josh Reynolds, JoJo Natson, Mike ThomasOut: KhaDarel Hodge, Austin Proehl, Alex Bachman (UDFA), Nsimba Webster (UDFA), WR Johnathan Lloyd (UDFA)Changes from last projection: N/APressure here to bump Hodge, but I’ll stash him on the practice squad. If he continues to ball with Thomas’ plus camp and practice work Nolan Cromwell Jersey , maybe the Rams go seven-wide here and cut somewhere else?TE/FB (3)In: Gerald Everett, Tyler Higbee, Johnny MundtOut: Romello Brooker (UDFA), Kendall Blanton (UDFA), Keenen Brown (UDFA)Changes from last projection: Mundt IN, Brown OUTI really thought Brown could catch on, but he’s apparently at the back working up. I mentioned the option for adding Hodge and cutting elsewhere. This could be an option with just Young Gerald and Hygz making the roster.OL (9)In: Andrew Whitworth, Rob Havenstein, Joseph Noteboom, Brian Allen, Austin Blythe, Bobby Evans (rookie), David Edwards (rookie), Jamil Demby, Aaron NearyOut: Jeremiah Kolone, Chandler Brewer (UDFA), Vitas Hrynkiewicz (UDFA), Brandon Hitner (UDFA), Matt Kaskey (UDFA)Changes from last projection: N/AOL depth for the 53 is always hard to parse. I’ll stick with this for another week at least.DL (6)In: Aaron Donald, Michael Brockers, Sebastian Joseph-Day, John Franklin-Myers, Greg Gaines (rookie) Womens Brian Allen Jersey , Morgan FoxOut: Tanzel Smart, Bryant Jones (UDFA), Marquise Copeland (UDFA), Boogie Roberts (UDFA)Changes from last projection: N/AA little wacky up front this early, but not budging here yet.LB (8)In: Clay Matthews, Micah Kiser, Cory Littleton, Samson Ebukam, Dante Fowler, Jr., Bryce Hager, Dakota Allen (rookie) Trevon YoungOut: Ogbonnia Okoronkwo,, Troy Reeder (UDFA), Natrez Patrick (UDFA), Josh Carraway, Landis Durham (UDFA), Justin LawlerChanges from last projection: Young IN, Lawler OUTSo with Lawler getting foot surgery, I’ll go with the guy Skye tabbed last week in Young. He was heavily involved last week. Another good showing could put him in the driver’s seat.CB (6)In: Marcus Peters, Aqib Talib, Nickell Robey-Coleman, David Long (rookie) Jacob McQuaide Jersey , Troy Hill, Dominique HatfieldOut: Kevin Peterson, Darious Williams, Donte Deayon, Ramon RichardsChanges from last projection: N/AThe depth here played pretty well save for Peterson’s special teams penalty early. Really intrigued for this group on Saturday.S (6)In: John Johnson III, Eric Weddle, Taylor Rapp (rookie), Marqui Christian, Nick Scott (rookie), Travin HowardOut: Steven ParkerChanges from last projection: N/AGonna need more to work through this group. While Rapp took some headlines (and deservedly so), it’s a deep group with special teams implications.ST (3)In: Greg Zuerlein, Johnny Hekker, Jake McQuaideOut: Miller BrockFF >><hr class="p-entry-hr" id="HprlI0">Two changes. One on production, one on injury.The practices are more motivation for the coaching staff as they get ready to cut this roster from 90 down to 53. While not seeing those, at least we get a sense from the rotation in preseason games of what they’re seeing in private work.With three games to go before the rosters are due, plenty can change. On the surface, sports teams residing in the same market support each other. At a deeper level, do they really?More importantly, should they?I’ll get to that in a minute. For now, the news: Dodgers players showed up out of the blue on Friday at the Rams’ facility to congratulate them on making it to the Super Bowl and wishing them luck when they face the Patriots in eight days.Via Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com, running back Todd Gurley and defensive tackle Aaron Donald greeted a contingent of Dodgers players, including Justin Turner, Walker Buehler http://www.theramslockerroom.com/authentic-johnny-hekker-jersey , Cody Bellinger, and David Freese. (I’m proud to say I’ve previously heard of none of them.)Gurley and Donald were impressed by the gesture, and it makes senses that, among pro athletes, there’s a common bond and shared respect because they live, work, and compete in the same city. The question becomes whether, at the upper reaches of the various sports organizations in the same market, support of other teams is expressed only as a perfunctory P.R. gesture.Ultimately, the various sports teams in a given market compete with each other. The locals only have so much discretionary income and free time, and they’ll be more inclined to invest in the most successful of the local teams. While there’s not much overlap between baseball and football season, the modern era permits far greater engagement than simply showing up for or watching games.In some markets, it may not matter. Bostonians seems to find a limitless supply of cash and zeal to support all of their local teams. But even in situations like that, there’s a real incentive to be regarded as the top dog.In L.A., where the fan base is fickle and where the warming up to the return of the Rams has progressed like a crock pot set on extra low, ownership of the Dodgers would surely prefer (but would never admit) that the Rams continue to be regarded as second-class citizens. And ownership of the Rams would surely prefer to leapfrog the Dodgers and the Lakers as the local darlings.That’s why for years the NFL frowned upon its owners owning non-NFL sports teams in markets where those non-NFL sports teams would coexist with an NFL team owned by someone else. Ultimately, those various home teams are like a houseful of kids competing for the affection of their parents, even if to the outside world there’s an abundance of laughs and smiles and an absence of wedgies and noogies.
