” The Rams did have four players claimed off waivers: Willie Lampkin was claimed by the Eagles, Brennan Jackson heads to the Raiders, Charles Woods was claimed by the Patriots and the Seahawks claimed Derion Kendrick.”

Chris Paul also signed by the Seahawks after going unclaimed. Guess Rams really didn’t want him on the squad.

Great. The Eagles of course end up with the stud OL guy. We shoulda found a way to keep him. Those those trench guys are so valuable. Pretty pissed about that one. Now we have hope he fails in another uni. Stupid IMO. Would rather have Lampkin over Mumpfield or D.Allen.

Yep no surprise Philly claimed him…………

I actually live Davis. Just needs more snaps IMO. Hard to get that on this team with them still committed to Higbee. I’d like to see the future being Ferguson n Davis soon………

The Rams had the most players (4) claimed off waivers than any other team. A testament to how deep this team is heading into the regular season.

Posted: **August 27th, 2025, 12:51 pm**

I was hoping we could get Lampkin and Paul back. The rest are just OK guys. I'm hoping we can keep Presley and Ingle.

Posted: **August 27th, 2025, 8:02 pm**

Really upset how Lampkin was handled we could have designated him on IR and stashed him. Not happy about Paul over Reeder wtf? Luckily a couple others were not claimed.

Regarding Lampkin you are 100% correct. Why didn't they put on IR?

Posted: **August 27th, 2025, 8:25 pm**

Saw this:

“ In the NFL, there’s an unwritten rule that teams don’t claim waived/injured players. It’s a courtesy so the original team can stash them on IR without losing them.”

“31 teams respected that with #Rams OL Willie Lampkin. The #Eagles (Howie Roseman) broke tradition and claimed him.”

Posted: **August 28th, 2025, 2:58 am**

I think Rams had most losses through claims (if that's a thing!!!).. excellent drafting and UDFA work.

My question as well. :?

Posted: **August 28th, 2025, 8:29 am**

Maybe they were happy with Bowles and McMahon going to the practice squad and having Shelton and Limmer on the 53. I also wonder if they foresaw more injuries in Lampkin’s future going against giants on opposing DLs.

Lot of criticism about an undersized center and a 5th round ILB getting away. People acting like they’re HOF players.

Posted: **August 28th, 2025, 9:34 am**

I agree - these players do not merit all the discussion - bottom roster players with ??? Up side IMO .

Again regarding Paul it’s him being cut and Reeder still here……………..

Do we really want Reeder getting starting snaps at ILB if say Speights and/or Landman went down? Have we not been there done that with Reeder already…………………

ILB 3 let alone 4 rarely play in this scheme. I do think there’s a skill to being a good special teams player and Reeder is good at it. No one knows if Paul is good and I get that Reeder has proven he’s a JAG at best, but I trust McVay. Guys like Paul are a dime a dozen in the draft. Dolac an UDFA made it over Paul.

Understood. That being said you really didn’t answer my question. If those 2 went down do you really want Reeder getting snaps at ILB. Me? Hell no. Ive seen enough of him and JMO i think the ST comment by MCvay is weak. Again your are telling me Paul would be that big of a liability on ST while possibly being a much bigger improvement over Reeder @ ILB if needed.

Hey I get the trust McVay thing. Ive said it many of times in here. No one a bigger supporter of him than me in here. But sorry I just don’t get this decision. And those stating it’s a 5th round draft pick get over it well again see Nacua and Kyren…………..

Reeder is a penny to 4 dozens @ ILB………………

I don’t know if Paul is good. At all. Seems like he wouldn’t have even been added to PS even if he wasn’t claimed. McVay does value experience and ST and Reeder has that over him in droves. End of day neither Paul nor Reeder should be getting snaps. It will take 2-3 injuries in front of them from a position group Rams FO doesn’t value much.

As for Lampkin, he’s 5’10 280 tops. Very small for a center.

Just me I’m not concern with the Lampkin cut even though it sounds like Philly picked him up in a way that isn’t common in the NFL…………..

As far Paul’s playing ability I’ll just leave it at with various publications last year he was 1st team all American, Second team all SEC, And SEC LB of the year. SEC Conference. I doubt he lost his ability to play the game over the spring and again he didn’t play bad this preseason. As others have said it has to be something else other than his ability to play. And again I don’t but the ST reason.

Solid back and forth…………….

Posted: **August 29th, 2025, 10:22 am**

I hope Reeder never sees snaps at ILB. ST only. I am not in love with Paul, but I know Reeder's ceiling. He's ok, but much rather have a young upside guy like Paul to develop. I am glad Dolac is here- he seems better than Paul to me just from the pre season stats and talk about how smart he is.

Lampkin....I feel like OL guys are like MLB pitchers...can never stash enough good ones in case starters fail/injured. He was mauling Dallas- and he was part of that NC OL that gave their RB all the blocking to put up big numbers. F the Eagles.

That's the thing. McVay and all the other coaches watched him for a few months in practice and OTA's and they didn't even want him on the practice squad. That's good enough for me and I think we won't hear much from Paul after this.

Posted: **September 1st, 2025, 11:19 am**

Losing Lampkin to the Eagles concerns me with their reputation for developing O line. They just stashed him on the IR. Rams could have done that.

I don’t like cutting Paul.

Kendrick I’m glad they cut and I don’t care who signs him. He’s not good. And the others are whatever

Posted: **September 1st, 2025, 12:20 pm**

How did Kendrick get called for offside at the end of his last Rams game? Even the announcers were baffled about how he pulled off that one. That requires special talent.

Posted: **September 1st, 2025, 12:24 pm**

Regarding Lampkin, I think they saw more injuries in his future because of the giants he would be going against. I also think they’re very happy to have Bowles and McMahon—ironically poached from the Eagles PS last year—signed to the practice squad.
