Would a slot or outside receiver help Cam the most?

I like what I see from TAustin and feel either out of the backfield or in the slot could be a real playmaker.I think we could pick up a big body receiver on the cheap for third downs and red zone.To me he is the most dynamic play maker in the draft.

Anybody here think Cam isn't accurate enough at the moment for a tavon Austin? recievers like him and Weller thrive on precesion

I think Cam is more accurate than Geno and he he was able to get the ball to him. I know he is not a popular choice but watch 3 hours of game film on him and and watch 3 hours on any other wr in the draft and draw your own conclusion.

All I know is Tavon in the slot is a mismatch for any nickel corner or LBer in coverage. Furthermore, he can open up the middle of the field for Olsen. I also wouldn't be surprised if his ability to go vertical developed nicely. He is just so agile, quick, and fast that he is going to get open especially when Cam is able to extend plays with his feet and buy some time. Defenses will have to account for Tavon and our opponents will usually have to have a safety whose job is to make sure he doesn't get behind them or get to the second level of a defense in the open field.

The kid flat out can move the chains. He will always make someone miss and when he does and gets into the open field...he is a home run threat to go the distance.

Guys like him with very strong arm, dinking and dunking doesn't work well. They get impatient. They're suited better with taller receivers. Smith is just too short to be a #1 for any team. Great player, but 5'8 players have to be in the slot like Welker and Cruz. When your slot is your #1 deep threat, well, you have the panthers.

Well, Steve is just losing steps....in his prime he could be the #1 on any team. Delhomme use to throw endzone fades to him routinely...he plays bigger. Was always the exception to the rule.

Cam doesn't need big...he needs fast and creates separation downfield. His legs are his pass game

The big time, home run receiver. Tall, lanky, can outrun the defense over the top.

Like CRA, Cam's game is about hitting the soft zones in the defense with 8-9 yard plays to the slot receiver, his game is about the 40 yard TD route after escaping.

Patterson would be the perfect fit, imo.

The move marks the first in-season coaching change that Rams head coach Sean McVay has made in his nine seasons in Los Angeles. Rams assistant special teams coach Ben Kotwica will take over and become the lead special teams coach, a source told Schefter. The Rams, 11-4 and second place in the NFC West, lost to the Seahawks on Thursday night in a game that included a Seattle punt return for a touchdown and a missed 48-yard field goal by Los Angeles kicker Harrison Mevis. The Seahawks (12-3) overtook the Rams for first place in the division and the top overall record in the NFC thanks to the 38-37 overtime victory. Though the Rams have lost only four games this season, three have involved special teams miscues. In the Rams' first loss of the season, 33-26 to the Eagles, Los Angeles had its final two offensive possessions end with blocked kicks. In the Rams' Week 10 victory over the Saints, kicker Joshua Karty missed an extra point and a 39-yard field goal attempt. After the game, McVay said the Rams' special teams issues "can't continue like this." Los Angeles replaced long-snapper Alex Ward with Jake McQuaide and Karty with Mevis, who had not missed a kick until Thursday night in Seattle. Blackburn, 42, was in his third season as the Rams' special teams coordinator. A former linebacker for the Giants and Panthers, he also has worked as an assistant with Carolina and Tennessee.
    • It was a bad play from Icky but the OL didn't give up a sack until late in the 4th quarter and Bryce just stood there like he was canatonic. If our 3rd year number one overall pick can't overcome one single sack against a rebuilding Saints team that should only have 2 wins this season then it isn't ever going to happen   This is your quote. I mean I’ve quoted it twice. It was followed by calling people that defended him fugers and several other meltdowns I can also quote.    Shame you for working for a living??? Wow this is a whole new level to your victim mentality thing you like to do. You don’t have to watch games live. Or don’t spend an entire thread arguing about something you didn’t get the full picture of. I miss parts of games all the time. That’s just life. Not even going into the whole losing all respect thing.
    • Rams ended up firing ST coach and former Panthers coach Chase Blackburn after the loss. Sounds all too familiar.
