And just like that, Kugbila isn't practicing today

[carolina-chuck]

jones has sucked but hey let's be impatient with Kug when the real problem is DG needs to sign some fuging guards

I'm not sure how much better Kug would have been if he had been playing.

which is why both were drafted in the later rounds.

that's not what i meant. we need to sign guards regardless if kug could play or not

Jones dropped bc of injury.

Kug wasn't even supposed to be drafted that high in the 4th.

Jones dropped bc of his lis franc injury. Nothing had to do with his playing ability.

 

I understand him being tough and all that, but sometimes, just sometimes, playing on an injury like that does a lot more harm than good.  

 

Could that be one of the reasons he's struggling so much in preseason?

 

Hmmmmm

[raleigh-panther]

Low grades.

 

I hear ya.

 

I guess its just a question of do you want someone who graded low in D1 or someone who couldn't make it to D1.

 

I liked Jones...and I just can't believe he was not better than our choice or the 2 guards we currently have...but, that is just me.

I'm sure DG has a plan, as well as Rivera.  It's not like us as fan's have a dog in the race, we don't get paid to make these personnel decisions, have faith in the guy's that do.

I'm not sure. I havent really seen much of him until yesterday. All I've been hearing is that he have struggled. But let's not overreact here. "Most rookies struggles" bc they're not used to the speed and strength of the NFL.

[Jai]

Pretty much, we'll be fine, my friends.

[carolina-chuck]

Well, his playing ability has been overhyped then. The Turf Times bloggers and fans haven't been impressed with him from the get-go (which is why he's seen so limited snaps in the preseason). Deal with it. We got Kug and we've yet to see what he can offer. So take your massive ego out of your enormous ass and wait to see whether or not he sticks.

 

What's sticking is your damn head inside your enormous ass. Get that damn head out of ass.

where does barrett jones fit with the rams?

 

Jones will be the tough, scrappy over-achiever who cannot get movement on in-line run blocks and constantly has trouble blocking the big 320+ pound DT’s, both on run blocks and in pass protection.

 

Daniel Jeremiah        ✔ @MoveTheSticks RT @tommy_t_256: Does Barrett Jones project as a C, G or T? > has to play inside at next level. Very limited athlete. On the ground too much

 

 

 

[carolina-chuck]

The NFL is diving deeper into these drafts for talent that has fallen inbetween the cracks. For instance, 10 years ago a player such as Jonathan Cyprien would have gone undrafted.

 

WHAT!

 

You're killing me with some of your posts. It's not sticking on the wall, so please quit.

[TheRumGone]

what happened with 10,000 posts and done chuck?

[BigBoss]

Jones is a Center. The Rams have already tried him at Guard during training camp to test his versatility. He sucked. Move on.

 

Barret played every position on the line in college. He could handle it. Especially more than some useless D2 prospect that can't even practice.
