Great roster it seems! Excluding keeping reeder and cutting Paul. But, I’m not a coach and I do trust who’s in that building ❤ so hopefully a great year
Why cut Chris Paul Jr? That was a decision we will regret.
Thanks Gary. You're awesome Stew.
Cutting Pooh and Lampkin is crazy work
Coach you made bad decisions this time reeder is f old and slow number 62 is a stud lamkin you f up
HUGE mistake letting Pooh go for the garbage Reeder. I doubt the Rams are gonna be able to get Pooh on the Practice squad. He is gonna sign with a team and contribute day one. Just gotta hope it's not a contending team or a rival.
My heart breaks for Willie Lampkin. He would have made it if not for injury. I'm gonna watch that situation unfold. Might be another mistake.
WHAT IS TROY REEDER PAYING YOU?!?!?!?!!
My wife just listened to me lose my mind about Troy Reeder Over Chris Paul Jr. Troy Reeder has never made an impactful play for the Rams. Season after season hes been cut and let go to another team or cut and put on the practice squad. Give me a real answer because nobody in their right mind would believe Troy Reeder is a quality LB especially over a younger faster meaner and tougher Chris Paul Jr.
From what I've read/heard Pooh's leg injuries hampered him to the point where they felt, despite his upside, he was still a year behind Reeder in development, and with Stafford's back, the Rams want to win THIS year.
It's that time of year again the whiner gang fans out to complain they know better than Sean and Snead as if they are the ones designing and calling plays for players every week. This is McVay's 8th season with the Rams. Every season he proves he knows his stuff. You are not insiders you don't know why they made such decisions and their planning. He already said he trusts the medical staff. That is all that you need to know.
💯
Just admit Reeder is your boy , that’s why you gave him a roster spot because he definitely didn’t earn it 🤣
Rams fan too emotional over one player that hasn’t played a down yet for the rams .. beside preseason, yikes
Hopefully we get Pooh on the practice squad🙏🙏
I'm disappointed for coach because this is clearly the wrong decision, and it's not the first time.
That injury early messed up Paul. Did RB Jordan Waters make the team?
There has to be SOMETHING really wrong with Pooh. There’s no way they give him up for NOTHING
Reeder got pics of Mcsnead with farm animals, Paul is gone. Cut Reeder and he's there all season waiting for only one team to call. IgnorantAF
You can see his discomfort talking about Pooh. There had to be something diabolically wrong with Pooh for this to happen. Reeder is holding this team ransom.
WHO CARES ABOUT CP Jr. PLAYING SPECIAL TEAMS WELL!
You could’ve waived Reeder and NOBODY would claim him…
Could’ve had your cake and ate it too.
He sound like he don’t even want Pooh on the practice squad
Keep Willie Lampkin after he clears waivers!!!!!!
Makes me laugh that so many people think they can evaluate talent better than McKay😂😂.😂😂😂
They don't value black players 😮
😢 Very poor decision. You mean to tell me that an athlete like Paul can't play on the special teams? And why is Reeder still on the team? And why did you bring Reeder back when you know he cannot tackle? It seems like to me you guys are playing favoritism. And remember this, what goes around comes around. 😢😢
We gave up two 6th round picks to get Paul?? Makes absolutely zero sense and typical Snead gets absolutely fleeced move
They're going to get him on the practice squad because they think 💬 no one is going to claim him meaning Pooh Paul
Really guys ? Les knows what he doing. The rams are top notch.
Bad decision. Troy reeder is a terrible football player
I can’t understand the love affair between the rams and Troy miss tackle reeder
Sorry but after the Jones f**k up that led to the team getting trashed by the run game last sesson. I don't blindly trust them anymore. McVay said that was what was best for the team. A complete f**k up. Same here.
Get a MF microphone into the crowd
I HATE THIS TEAM & LB's!!! This is EXACTLY why they haven't got back to the SB, because they are IGNORANT when it comes to LB
Troy Reeder is gonna BALL OUT this season! LET'S GO TROY! TO THE MOON! He definitely isn't on the roster because of any potential blackmail material he definitely DOES NOT have on McVay, Snead, Demoff, and Kroenke. Also they definitely couldn't have risked putting Reeder on the practice squad. All 31 other teams would've been in a bidding war trying to get Reeder on their rosters in such a scenario. He could be the highest paid linebacker in the whole league.
This don't make sense I feel the answer but Troy Reeder hasn't showed he can even stay healthy and not having a backup safety with Quinten lake playing Nickelback is beyond me Troy Reeder was the worst decision over Pooh Paul still
Try to pick up Malachi Corley. Great YAC WR.
