St. Louis Rams add DT Justin Bannan

DT Justin Bannan is the newest member of the St. Louis Rams.

The St. Louis Rams added another free agent today. Joining the team on a three-year deal is veteran defensive tackle Justin Bannan. Bannan was released by the Broncos after one season in Denver. 

What can Bannan do for the Rams' DL?

Star-divide

Coming from the Ravens, Bannan was just another player lost in Josh McDaniels, uh, spotty personnel management while running the Broncos. Bannan can play in both the five- and three-technique spots. He has that versatility, but will mostly be featured as an inside tackle with the Rams. Pass rushing isn't really his forte, but he is strong at the point of attack and a can occupy blockers and clog lanes. He also tackles well. 

Bannan is 32, so it's another 30+ DT to join Robbins. However, with Quinn and Spagnuolo's proclivity for stockpiling defensive ends, he won't be a three down player. 

Here's a thorough breakdown of Bannan from Mile High Report, complete with the Xs and Os football junkies will love.

This probably signals that Gary Gibson, a free agent, will not return.

So our DTs are

Robbins, Scott, Cudjo, and now Bannan. Not the worst group to go into the season with, especially with the great DE’s we have in Long, Hall, Selvie and Quinn

a poor push up front will negate our great ends.

this is why i have been begging for a DT, so far i am unimpressed.

Big upgrade.

Biiiig upgrade. Not close to Mebane, but not close to Gibson as well (in a good way).

You think Okoye is a possibility for injecting youth to the DT spot? Is he still with the Texans or is he cut?

Easily an upgrade over Gibson.

Would have loved him back for depth but oh well, every move we’ve made has easily been an upgrade. Clayton and Snelling, we need you both.

Starter.

He’s not Robbins, but he’s certainly an adequate second starter, which we did not have last year. I meant I would like Gibson back for depth.

I wanna keep 7.

Seriously. Did we keep 4 tight ends on the 53-man roster last year? Because I know we kept 6 receivers. If we did, then I could see Hoom, Kendricks, Onobun and Bajema kept as TE’s and Clayton, MSW, Avery, Amendola, Alexander, Pettis and Salas for receivers. No fullback, Kendricks and Hoom both capable as H-backs.

My bet is either Sims Walker,DX, or Pettis

We have DX,Avery,Sims Walker,Pettis,Salas,Amendola. I have a feeling Clayton is done, the longer it goes without signing him, the better the chances are he is gone. Wouldnt mind to have him back tho. Still ALOT better at the WR position than we were last year!

if he’s not back then 6 receivers it is, but I really want him back.

Gibson

is apparently tearing it up in camp as we speak. Might have spoken too soon, can’t be good for DX… Arguably the most talented receiver we have but 5 surgeries sadly makes him the most expendable out of those 6.

His knee is too big of a risk

by King Sam Rules! on Jul 30, 2011 3:45 PM CDT via mobile up reply actions  

Yeah, you're probably not a doctor

Let’s quit speculating DX off the roster. Especially just because Gibson looks good in a freakin walkthrough practice! DX is among our most talented playmakers why on god’s green earth would we cut him just on the basis that he might injure his knee? Every receiver we have is only one play away from a career ending injury. If our medical staff clears him and he’s one of our top receivers he stays.

I don’t belittle the likelihood that DX’s career will likely be cut short due to hus knee issue but there is no reason to doubt we can get a few good years out of him.

I’m sorry but you’re not going to convince me that our WR corps are so strong that we can afford to cut DX due to his risk factor. Ludicrous!

90% of Broncos fans wanted Bannan to stay with them

On this Mile High Report page. That’s comforting.
He was a 3-4 DE, should be intersting to see if he fits well, probably gives Spagnuolo a little more flexibility

by CoachConnors on Jul 30, 2011 3:40 PM CDT reply actions  

I like this pick up.

Bannan may not be the best but he is consistent. A definite upgrade at DT. Another hole filled and all we need now is a back up RB.

This guy's tackle and assist stats are double Gibson's. And he even had a sack.

Bannan is 3 years older than Gibson, but apparently a significant upgrade. Happy trails Gibbs! Quinn, Robbins, Bannan and Long with TWO real LB’s behind them could be a real defensive force. BUT, the future is now with Bannan, Robbins and Mikell in their 30’s. And I’m fine as frog hair with that approach. Who wants to build for 3 years down the road when SJax will be extinct?

Funny how you were getting crucified up until recently.

I’ve always liked your postings and comments. Some of your worrying has been a bit premature in my opinion though. For example, your lambasting of this past year’s draft and the suggestion that we wouldn’t be able to fill the remaining holes on O and D via free agency. Nevertheless all (most at least) your concerns were valid and I commend you for sticking to your guns.

AND….it sounds like you’re warming up to the front office and coach, which will be a welcomed addition in the future.

The truth is always the right answer....

Somebody on one of these recent threads posted a link to a Falcons thread

The Falcons thread looked a lot like our Rams thread. GM is an idiot because he didn’t sighn this guy or that guy that genious poster wanted. The thread starter posted that the Falcon’s slow, methodical, and thought out approach to free agency had yielded very good results in the last couple of years. Like only 6 losses.
The Rams front office seems to be taking a similar approach. I hope so.

They are part of why people aren't drafting runners that high

Neither were worth the pick, and your right, but unless an AD or McFadden show up, runners aren’t gonna be valued as high. Ivory and Blount were both better than Spiller and Matthews, so there is value at that position.

The way offenses are set up now

you need two capable RB’s to splite carries. I remember when Emmitt was Dallas’s only option for year’s. Now you have to have a solid starter but also someone else to carry the partial load. SJax is the only real RB left in the league. Also would love to have Lamichael James’s (sp?) speed on our offense, that would be dangerous. But he is like a Sproles or Bush, not an every down back.

by jpcisco on Jul 30, 2011 4:10 PM CDT up reply actions  

Foster

carried the load and Peterson can too. So can CJ, shockingly. SJ is old fashioned though with his style and mentality.

Another move to shore up a weak spot for the short term

These signings of older, productive, short term players implies that they hope to solidify these positions in future drafts. I think it’s a pretty good plan. We know we had way too many holes to fill for the last 2 or 3 drafts to address them all. Plus I think the Rams approach of not relying on rookies is a great idea if your plan is to win the west. Ramchop I know you and I agreed that the right guard spot was our biggest need and I am ecstatic that they fixed that position with the guy I wanted all along.

He and Robbins in the rotation will be solid. I’d like to keep Cudjo and Gibson as depth, also rotated in.

That’d be a nice balance of experience and youth.

He wasn't drafted,

and he was waived by his first team, he’s gonna be as cheap as they get… I doubt he’d make our roster too.

In 2007? released in 2008 and not played since then.

Couldn’t crack the pack’s lineup with Lenon in it? Brother was a Ram.

Off a Wiki page

Don’t know if its true. I’ve never heard of him or his brother. His sis played volleyball for Utah or Utah state. THAT i’d like to have seen.

I'm really hoping for Snelling

But I will say this, I doubt we’ll start the season withour BU RB addressed. Our FO is on fire… let’s start winning NOW

Thats great. It really is.

I don’t care which ones we keep. Just, hopefully, 5 or 6 that can play. Play WR that is. Catch the ball maybe.

Gibson shows flashes

But I think we have a pretty good idea of what he is. Not a real playmaker, a decent receiver but not a difference maker. If he makes the team it means other players with more potential have failed i.e. DX, Gilyard, rookie etc.

by 2cents on Jul 30, 2011 5:50 PM CDT up reply actions  

we don't know yet

He has a lot of potential. Big frame, solid hands, good route running and YAC.

Only issue is inconsistency and lack of focus at times. When he is, he’s a beast. If he can’t focus in his 3rd season, then I agree, he’ll never be a dynamic playmaker, but the potential is DEFINITELY there.
