Rams make more roster moves

in 2011 St. Louis Rams preseason
Email
PrintThe St. Louis Rams re-signed wide receiver Mark Clayton today. That decision required a corresponding roster move to keep them at the 80-man limit. CB Jerome Murphy was placed on injured reserve, ending his 2011 season, to make room for Clayton. Devaney and the front office did not stop there either.
CB Marquis Johnson was added to the PUP list. A seventh-round pick last year, Johnson never saw action in training camp, recovering from offseason knee surgery. He will be eligible to return after week six. With a great deal of successful experience as a nickel corner during his playing days at Alabama, the Rams must have enough faith in Johnson to see what he can offer later this season and beyond.
Taking Johnson's spot on the roster is DT Marlon Favorite, an undrafted rookie in 2009 who played his college ball at LSU. Wait, he played his college ball at LSU? That means 3k ought to know something about the guy. Since being signed and released as a UDFA by the Panthers in 2009, Favorite has been on pretty much every roster in the league, so it seems. He spent a week on the Rams' practice squad in 2009, so the team at least knows what they're getting.
UPDATE: Clayton is on the PUP list for now, according to Howard Balzer at 101 ESPN. The Rams will have to decide by Saturday's roster deadline whether or not he stays there until week 6. If he does start the season on the PUP, he can't start practicing until week 6, remember. Players on the PUP cannot be activated or begin practicing until week 6. Once players resume practice, the team has three weeks to activate them.

Numero 89
Sir Clayton.
"I kind of stepped my swagger up. You look at the Madden game and the swagger's so low, maybe they'll bump me up. Before it was a meatball flex, so you've got to liven it up a little bit." - Animal Jr.
I'm sorry to see anybody hurt. But my gut tells me Murph just wasn't gonna make it anyway.
He and Milyard were our draft pick flops of 2010… Just like Pettis and Salas MAY be for 2011. I wonder if some team would tradeus their 2012 #2 pick for our 3rd & 4th?? We seem to strike gold with the 2nd pick and belly flop in rounds 3-7.
Yea, I think the writin was on the wall for Murph when we brought in the other LBs
In the cool still quiet hours of night, you can hear Eagles players softly uttering love words to themselves while kissing their hands and arms. "I am the Dream team-I am the Dream team"
naw he's a CB
We could still use him, at least, we haven’t found an equal yet, IMHO.

I should have said when we brought in so many new guys for the D backfield-
In the cool still quiet hours of night, you can hear Eagles players softly uttering love words to themselves while kissing their hands and arms. "I am the Dream team-I am the Dream team"
On that we agree
i think we need to think about a first and/or second round pick for our DBs
Wolf. Wolfgang Wolf
Oh and sorry
those anal anonymous sessions don’t seem to be doing me any good. Course I thought it was for something else.
Wolf. Wolfgang Wolf
Wait you mean the special teams ace Gilyard?
He has a total of 2 tackles and hasnt broken more than a 30 yd return but somehow we need this guy on our team! Ill tell ya what he probably is the best WR we have on our team especially with his proven production! Idk why anyone can honestly believe that Gilyard isn’t a huge draft success!
Marvelous assessment of Milyard's ST contributions.
The FO is just trying to find a way to hang onto him to save face cause he was a poor draft pick.
what are you basing that off of?
All the extensive time you have spent in training camp? Murphy was definitely going to make the team. Salas? Wondering if you have a pulse at this point.
If you love something, set it free. If it doesn't come back, find it and kill it.
No way Murphy was gonna get cut.
Furthermore, this is eerily similar to the Fletcher situation. Sucked his first year and everyone was bitching cause he was a huge bust and shouldn’t have been drafted where he was, etc. Then he tore his ACL and he comes back in his second season and had what we all would consider a pretty damn good year. Now we’re all hopeful that he’s one of the best young corners in all of football
Y’all need to quit bagging on the rookies and young players. Gilyard, Salas and Pettis come to mind in particular.
Not talking to Gomer, just making a comment to all the impatient morons out there.

Yep. He's pro-bowl material. Maybe they only misfired 5 of 6 times at 3rd an 4th picks?
And wow… how bout them later picks? Obog, Hall Davis, Sims, Null, Brooks Foster, Scott, Johnson…, etc. Now who can answer faster; Pyle or Shea?
Josh Hull?
George Selvie?
Fendi “I have potential” Onobun?
Uh-Oh?
They’re all 5th rounders or later. Not so bad.

by Pekka for Predator Pontiff on Aug 31, 2011 6:54 PM CDT up reply actions
Pretty dang bad.
None of these guys have done anything of note. And some may not even make the team. Selvie at 6’4" 245 is waaay to small to be an NFL DE. Even though some have claimed he’s gained 5-10 lbs (unsubstantiated), what chance has he got against a 300 lb+ OT?
Selvie had 2 sacks last year....
….which is as many or more than Cam Thomas, Glenn Dorsey, Brandon Mebane, Everson Griffen, Brian Price, Jared Odrick, Ron Brace and Brodrick Bunkley. All these guys were higer picks than Selvie, by a lot, and much more highly respected although Selvie had more sacks. What more could you want out of a 7th round pick?
And Josh Hull is the backup ILB and has played quite well for us in the preseason. Again, what more could you want out of a 7th round pick.
And Sims is at least still on the team as is Scott. Problem is that you’re choosing your spots to criticize and not giving the whole picture.
The late round pick glass is more than half full Ramchop.
The truth is always the right answer....
by Pekka for Predator Pontiff on Sep 1, 2011 11:31 AM CDT up reply actions
One of my concerns is that I don't want my team to have to play very many 6-7th rounders or UDFA's.
My philosophy on 7th rounders is just that I don’t realistically expect them to play up to NFL level. While there are a very few notable exceptions, the vast majority fail in the NFL. Look at some of our recent picks and think “how would I like to field a Ram team comprised of…Keith Null, Obog, Davis, Onobun, Selvie, Scott, Sims, Johnson, Pettis, Salas, Williams, Milyard, Murphy, Hull, Kehl, Chamberlain, Vobora, King…etc?”
inaccurate assessment of talent
Selvie and Hull were definitely worth their picks. Projecting their develoment to continue as it has been would have them as valuable contributors in their 3rd year, where most guys actually reach their potential.
What chance does he have? Seriously? Well, his forte’ is speed, and just like an OLB he would beat the 300 pound guy by blowing by him.
I gotta disagree
Our depth chart is full of guys who can play now and most of those guys are player we drafted. I like what we’re doing. I think this year Josh mcdaniels might have had too much say so in draft room matter but Salas appears solid with the potential to be a contributor and thats what you hope for in the forth round. I c

Update means we could hang onto either Avery or Alexander
IR Alexander and keep Avery, replacing him with Clayton when he gets injured again. Sorry Gilyard still no room for you. Luckily you will stick with another team and relieve us of the burden of making this decision again next year
Wolf. Wolfgang Wolf
Wait, so if Clayton is on the PUP list he wouldn't count against the 53-man roster for 6 weeks.
So basically it could allow the Rams to keep 7 wideouts not including Clayton to see who separates himself. There’s been basically no separation between Avery, Alexander, and Gilyard this camp but if they let that battle continue to week 6 by only cutting one of those guys, they can make a decision on who the other guy to cut is based on performance and health. You can cut Gilyard now because he sucks, then see how Alexander and Avery do. Both those guys have shown inconsistent production in the past and are coming off big knee injuries, so they are the likely guys the last spot comes down to. When Clayton comes back after 6 weeks (or perhaps longer), then you make the last cut.
Avery is clearly above Gilyard and so is Alexander
the only problem is Danario is extremely injury prone and cant be counted on to be healthy. Gilyard sucks and is gone.
So basically we can temporarily keep 7 receivers not counting Clayton.
See who earns their spot in the regular season Maybe Alexander and Avery both get cut. Maybe Gibson isn’t as good as we think and gets cut. Depending on how well everybody plays we either keep 7 receivers by cutting 1 when Clayton comes back, or we go down to 6 by cutting two.
If Clayton isn’t healthy by Week 6, can he stay on the PUP list? Or does the PUP list not exist after week 6 and he would have to count on the 53-man roster?
they have 3 weeks after week 6 to start practicing
and then they have 3 weeks to activate him once he starts to practice..otherwise he has to stay on the PUP list all season from my understanding
I think this is a great situation.
Because there’s really been no separation between Alexander, Avery, and Gilyard. Cut Gilyard because he’s never been good, then keep Alexander and Avery to have a prolonged battle. We’ll really see who separates himself when the games count.
Holy crap I thought that was a picture of SJAX on the cart for a second
I nearly cried.
Two things about me will never change. I will always root for the Rams, and I will always root against the Niners.
that picture should be banned regardless
Two things about me will never change. I will always root for the Rams, and I will always root against the Niners.
I hooe they just cut Alexander and dont prolong it
The dude can’t stay healthy for a full season and that’s not good, let him go its not worth it to have inconsistent at a position that we Ned to come in clutch for us this season.
Keep :
MSW
Clayton
Avery
Gibson
Pettis
Salas

He was easily our best WR last year. No chance he leaves.
Pettis is gonna be a good one. BLAM!
Oh sorry, didn't know you caught that a few comments later
Ignore this.
Pettis is gonna be a good one. BLAM!
Well, Clayton won't be playing for the first 6 weeks anyway.
Might as well keep Alexander at least that long and see how he does. Then cut the worst receiver when Clayton comes back.
Thats as of right now
But if hes healthy and he learns the playbook which I think he will then I’m picking Clayton over him.

by RG31 on Aug 31, 2011 5:33 PM CDT via mobile up reply actions
Perhaps that's the case.
But why not keep Alexander around when it doesn’t really cost us? He provides good depth when healthy, and what if something bad happens to another receiver? What if somebody tears his ACL, or what if Avery isn’t completely healthy? There’s not much risk to keeping Alexander at least until Clayton comes back.
This is true
Just don’t see the fetish many have for him besides hes a hometown superstar. If he’s backing up then sure but don’t want him starting.

He had a few huge games for us last year.
I’d be pretty sad to see him go, considering all the potential he has. Best receiver in the NCAA his senior year and we saw those great skills translate to the NFL at times last year. Plus he’s a freak of nature athletically. I think fans would love him even if he didn’t go to Mizzou.
Well cant stay healthy

to warrant the axe this preseason? I think he makes it too.

I don't necessarily think he's performed poorly
but Allen Iverson and I just think it’s practice…..and a few preseason games. If I’m looking at Amendola, Avery, Sims Walker, and Clayton (w/ the obvious inclusion of Pettis and Salas), then I just don’t know how ‘safe’ Gibson is. It’s more what he’s NOT proven to me
If we was to make the team, I wouldn't be disappointed
I just don’t think he’s a gimme based on a ‘solid preseason’
Dude! Clayton is BACK!! I am still stoked about it!

You are acting like a teenage girl who just got to meet Justin Bieber. Plus you are the same person who thinks Amendola needs to go. You obviously don’t know anything. Not to mention your congratulating yourself as if it was because of you that the Rams signed Clayton. The Rams had planned to resign him “as soon as his knee was healed.” You also claimed that the FO had failed through FA.

And forget the dude who said we made some terrible draft picks like Smith (2nd overall), Milyard, Murphy, Hall Davis, Null, Pettis, Salas, Scott, Sims, etc. Some Chopper dude even defended Mike Vick and wanted to sign him when everyone except Andy Reid hated the guy who just signed $100M contract. Chop also couldn’t stand a guy named Pat Shurmur. Who was it that said we needed OLBx2, RG, DT, b/u RB? Yep, the FO has done just about everything I hoped for and recommended except getting a true #1 WR. So yeah, I don’t know nuthin’ about Ram fb and need an expert like you to help me out. NOT!
Wow
So your psychic now because all those guys are gone? Tell me, who is left from that team, besides the 2 obvious franchise pieces?
All hope is lost when you let doubt creep in....
There were people all over this site...
that were Bulger apologists and those who wanted to keep nutcase Incognito. Some thought Barron should stay cause he wasn’t ever injured. Even Van was defending Vobora right up to the day he was released. I called Smith as an under-performer since his 1st camp. I’ve been an outlier with my predictions and philosophy among the TST faithful with has led to many many arguments. But the bottom line is that the team has moved precisely in the direction I had hoped for – except we still don’t have a #1 WR.
I agree we don't have a #1 WR.
But do we really need one? I think with the talent we have at the WR, TE and RB positions it will be hard for any team(including the Eagles) to cover them all. I also believe Bradford will be on his game and be able to find a mismatch or two in every play. Of course all this is barring injury.
All hope is lost when you let doubt creep in....
To be honest it's so easy to find someone to disagree with and then try to point out when your right and they are wrong.
Smith is barely entering his 3rd year. Yes, he has under-performed. But in this league it’s “What can you do for me now?” more than “What have you done for me lately?” You mentioned Pettis and Salas as being terrible picks a couple posts ago. How can you judge them if they haven’t even seen the regular season yet? Let alone the fact that they had a shortened off-season due to lock-out. Take that into consideration then hit me up mid-season and we will chat about these two and their progress.
All hope is lost when you let doubt creep in....
I consider the Pettis and Salas picks to be inane. We already had a stable of #2 and #3 WR's.
So why did we need to add more??? The #1 type WR receivers we really needed got gone in the 1st round (Green and Julio). Now one or both of these guys is gonna get cut or go to the ps OR either Milyard, Avery or DX are gone to make a place for them. Meanwhile, we didn’t, and still don’t, have a single good young b/u O-Lineman or OLB. The 3rd and 4th picks could’ve been much better utilized IMO.
Not every team is stacked with #2 & #3 DB's.
Every team has it’s weakness. It’s just part of the game. I’ll agree that we need good back-ups on the o-line and at OLB. Leber is not spectacular but you won’t find him out of place in the scheme and he’s almost a lock to stay healthy. Something we all often overlook is the fact that we have arguably the best current offensive and defensive minds coaching both sides. McDaniels will prepare our playbook for each opponent differently and attack their weaknesses. Same with Spags.

He has so many mismatches vs. any team in the league.
Think about it……..
RB = Jackson, Williams, Norwood
TE = Kendricks, Illinois Mike, Bajema, Uh Oh
WR = SkyWalker, Clayton, Avery, Amendola, Gibson, Salas, (Pettis)
that last one is 7th WR or PS
All hope is lost when you let doubt creep in....
RamChop's a smart fella and I appreciate that he puts his dick on the chopping block more often than some would like him to.
But you’ve been wrong too.
1. I believe you wanted Sue over Bradford, thereby making you a Bulger apologist also.
2. The Vick thing is irrelevant, although you did suggest we should pick him up, cause we have a franchise QB now. Just think, last year Vick would never have seen the field and all this hysteria over him would have been for naught.
3. You didn’t like the Saffold pick.
4. You didn’t like the Quinn pick.
5. You call Long and Smith busts.
6. Much of the criticisms you have for the Rams FO is based on rookie performances last year. That’s unfair cause you gotta wait for the youngsters to develop, which doesn’t occur at a uniform rate in everybody. If I recall correctly, you also used to bash Fletch last year, and now he’s one of the best young corners in the game.
I like you Chop and think much of some of your original opinions. But you’re also an alarmist.
The truth is always the right answer....
by Pekka for Predator Pontiff on Sep 1, 2011 11:49 AM CDT up reply actions
Fair enough.
(1) I am on record as having wanted Suh as 1st pick and Vick as our QB. I still think those two could’ve made invaluable contributions to our team. Vick and SJax in the same backfield would’ve been a nightmare for opposing defenses. A D-Line with Suh, Hall, Robbins and the much hyped Chris Long would’ve been awesome.
(2) I wanted Vick when he was considered a hated has-been and could’ve been had cheap. I was right.
(3) I was totally wrong about Saffold. He turned out to be a gem. Just like Smith turned out to be an over-hyped, overpaid, soft-headed average RT.
(4) I still don’t like the Quinn pick. The “health” concern will always be with him if he plays for a decade. I would have preferred Luiget.
(5) Smith (see description above) and Long were both 1st round picks and the 2nd and 3rd highest paid players on the team. Neither man has lived up to expectations. Long’s 29 tackles and 8.5 sacks don’t impress me much. Don’t see anyone clamoring to invite Smith or Long to the pro-bowl. Orlando Pace and Nadamakong Suh, they ain’t.
(6) Rookie performance can tell you alot. We think Sam is a superstar cause he led a 26th ranked offense last year against the weakest schedule in the league. Sometimes FO’s make bad picks. And this one has made a plethora, even while picking 2nd and 1st overall. Aside from JL, Sam, Saffold and maybe Fletcher and Kendricks, there are alot of questions about the quality of our draft picks. I mean without going down the whole list…just think; Smith, Milyard, Scott, Sims, Davis, Obog, Null, Murph, Onobun, Salas, Pettis… etc. Do these guys really look all that good. Heck no. And, finally, how long do you have to hang onto a project before you finally cut bait. We kept David Vobora over 3 years trying to make him into a starter when he just didn’t have the talent.
Those are my thoughts on your points above. Thank you for taking the time to thoroughly research my record and philosophy.
I didn't research anything....
….you just tend to leave an impression on me because of what a lightning rod you are.
On the last point, I brought up Fletch because this year Murphy in the EXACT situation Fletch was last year. So he could have also had a breakout year…not that we’ll ever know…but people, including you, weren’t even giving him a chance to be good. Everything on some of these guys, especially the late round picks is soooooo negative. Same thing with Gilyard. In these preseason games, I think he’s looked pretty damn good, in particular on ST but also in his limited action as a WR. But everyone has already cast him off, including you, as a busted 4th round pick, when he’s only entering his second year.
And I disagree with that philosophy, although I believe it comes from the fact that we don’t have a ton of depth and it’d be nice for the youngsters to really step up like JL and SAM and Saffold did. But we can’t expect that from each of our picks.
The truth is always the right answer....

"Rookie performance can tell you alot"
It can, but 90% it doesn’t.
The list of guys who had pedestrian rookie years and even second years, only to go on to the Pro Bowl is 100x times longer than the list of guys who blow up their rookie year.
Relying on rookie year to tell you a player’s value is stupid
Shurmur's style was different
Sam had pretty good success for a rookie. I think McD will give us more big play capability.

Confused
For years you have bashed the FO so I am confused with this post. Guess I need to use some deductive reasoning here. Ramchop thinks the front office sucks. The front office has done just about everything ramchop hoped for and recommended except getting a true #1 WR. Therefore Ramchop thinks Ramchop sucks?
It is milk it may be spilled it may be delicious.
Nice try.
The FO has done much better since Mr. Kroenke became owner. Like it or not, the team has moved in the direction I’ve been advocating a long time. About 3/4 of the bad players I ragged on are gone – with more to be leaving soon. And, after doing virtually nothing in FA for two years, we made a splash by finally getting Dahl, Mikell, Cadillac, Bannan, Leber, Poppy, et.al. Aside from Kendricks, I’m still not sure we did too good in the last draft. Quinn finally did good against the Chiefs 2nd and 3rd stringers. I’m on record as opposing the Quinn pick. I would’ve preferred Luiget. And, I think the Salas and Pettis picks were just plain lousy and stupid considering the team’s need for a #1 WR. In fact, one of the main problems I’ve had with the current FO is wasted draft picks. They struck gold with JL, Sam, Saffold and maybe Kendricks. Fletcher is ok. I have virtually nothing good to say about the other 20 draftees including Smith, Milyard, Murphy and another 1/2 dozen that have already washed out. So, with the big splash this year and ditching deadbeat players and Shurmur, RamChop thinks the FO sucks less and they’re finally moving in the right direction.
Only time will tell if they were lousy picks or not.
All hope is lost when you let doubt creep in....
curious
I am curious to know why you think we made a splash in FA. Cause I believe it is directly related to how the front office and coaching staff have made St. Louis a desireable team to play for.
It is milk it may be spilled it may be delicious.
No
I think he went there because of the OC and money. And if you say it’s because they were allowed to spend money then it was never the FO’s fault it was the owners fault.
It is milk it may be spilled it may be delicious.
Chip and co. wouldn't spend the bucks.
And, except for JL, Sam, Saffold and maybe Kendricks, our FO has been far from effective and efficient in getting high-quality players in the last 3 drafts. Heck, they’ve had over 20 draft picks. How many are really any good???
Obviously it takes longer than a year or two to find out the answer to that question
and asking it now doesn’t prove you’re right about the legitimacy of the selections, but rather that you don’t understand it takes a little time for players to reach their potential.
So your saying that the reason Bell re-signed was that multi-million dollar contract and not the fact that this team is attractive for players now?
All hope is lost when you let doubt creep in....
Bell would've gone anywhere they'd have offered him more cash. But nobody did. So he stay'd.
What about Atog? Think he went to the Skins cause they’re a better team than us?
No
But it’s obvious Spags didn’t want him, he wanted Mikell and got him.
All hope is lost when you let doubt creep in....
Atogwe went to Washington because we (FO) didn't want him and Haslett was a DC he was successful with.
All hope is lost when you let doubt creep in....
Same reason Mikell came to us--Spags, familiarity.
Admit it, between the coaching staff and up-rise in the team, not to mention smart and positive players, St. Louis is a place where free agents want to play. They want to be a part of success.
All hope is lost when you let doubt creep in....
I think you are Ramchop.
I think this is your other account that you use to remedy your bi-polar syndrome. Not to mention get back at everyone for annoying you.

plax blows
clayton will pick up the offense quickly and provide instant impact. Only thing, we have another knee to worry about.
My two favorite teams, the St. Louis Rams and whoever's playing the winers.
the whole idea behind signing clayton is that we CAN
stash him on the PUP list. Someone will get hurt by week six, they go IR and Clayton gets activated.
If you love something, set it free. If it doesn't come back, find it and kill it.
If we didn't have Sam, then yes, but Clayton is not what is going to keep our "hopes" alive.
C’mon, go jump into your jammies and get to bed, don’t you have school tomorrow?
OK NO MORE 3 AND OUTS CLAYTON MAKES OUR RUNNING BACKS
AND RECEIVERS SO MUCH MORE EFFECTIVE IF HE PLAYS LIKE HE DID LAST YEAR..AND HE WILL …THIS IS A WIN WIN SITUATION…AND I THINK THE WHOLE OFFENSE IS ESTATIC….ITS CALLED WINNING
You are Hobbs aren't you?
I finally figured it out. He was just like a family pet, kind of like you, who used to get out of the yard every once in a while and drive the whole neighborhood crazy. He said the same kind of crap with the same disregard for reason. He also typed in caps constantly, saying the same thing over and over again.

jswirb, let me ask you this....
For the same price, would you rather have had:
a) Mark Clayton
b) Sidney Rice
3) Vincent Jackson
d) Mark Clayton
???????
What is "estatic?"
and all the "…. " is that your brain stopping and going blank for 4 seconds?
I think it's fair to say that SJAX
is now the happiest running back in the NFL, due to the arrival of one of the greatest wide receivers of all time
Just to settle the lunacy im hearing
No way Amendola gets cut. Even if it ever logically made sense (which it doesn’t) no way it happens.

I know his reference.
But given the context. Why did he say it?
Really?
Mr. “Randy Moss will make us a playoff team.” I’m pretty sure you were like the 100th person to call Clayton back. In fact, if you look at our personal list of wide receivers, a lot of them had “with Clayton” and “without Clayton” lists, so please quit acting like a complete moron because you were not even close to be the only one to want/call this, nor were you even close to being the first.

Surely there are rules
against posting the same things over and over and over in all caps. It was worse than those advertising bots on yahoo that type the same messages over and over. I couldn’t read anything from other posters because he was obnoxiously typing the same thing over and over. At one point he was typing “I TOLD YOU WE SHOULD SIGN CLAYTON” “I TOLD YOU SO” “I’LL SAY IT AGAIN I FUKIN TOLD YOU SO” and then immediately after that “AND AGAIN I FUKIN TOLD YOU SO” and immediately “C,MON GUYS SHOW ME THE LOVE,” isn’t that against any rules? Seemed like he was doing it to annoy everyone. (end of rant) lol :)

js – it’s harder on the eye to recognize chacters when they’re in all caps like that. I know a lot people who use caps think its easier, but its not.

When Clayton is ready to play the “excess” receiver corps will already be reduced by injuries so no tough decision is necessary. Can you believe that the major discussion here is having too many receivers?
BTW…cussing is unnecessary and definitely not a sign of strength, just a little false bravado.
