this season well we've all been there but today my friends we've got our hands on the Rams first unofficial depth chart and let me tell you there are surprises that will have you jumping out of your seat if you want to know who's rising in the coach's pecking order and who could be the team's next star stay tuned let's solve this puzzle together and find out what the future holds for our beloved team folks we finally arrived at the moment every fan has been waiting for the first depth chart of the season after keeping a close eye on the ota's the mandatory mini camp and the training camp we now have a clearer idea of how our team is shaping up for 2024 but beware this roster is unofficial which means it could still change it's as if the names were written in pencil not permanent marker still this map gives us an inside look at who is impressing the coaches and who might need to work a little harder so what do you think who are the players on this list that surprised you the most let us know your opinion in the comments let's dive into the biggest surprises and talking points of this first unofficial Rams depth chart get ready because there's a lot of interesting stuff for us to analyze quarterback also Matthew Stafford is our Undisputed starter but what really catches your eye is the backup situation Jimmy Garoppolo is listed as the immediate backup but we know he's suspended for two games this brings up some interesting questions how will the team handle the snaps in the preseason will we see Garoppolo in action to get up to speed before his suspension what role will ston Bennett play he'll likely be the backup for the first two games of the regular season what about young dresser win will he get a chance to show his potential this Dynamic at quarterback will go a long way in determining how the team performs early in the season running back and Karen Williams appears to be the starter with Blake km as the backup but make no mistake Rams Nation I think we'll see a much more even division of labor than this chart suggests Williams should get about 15 to 20 carries per game while corm could see 10 to 15 touches what intrigues me is the presence of Boston Scott as a third Stringer his experience as a returner could be a deciding factor in securing a spot on the final roster Zack Evans and Ronnie Rivers will have to impress in the preseason to move up the depth chart wide receiver um we have an exciting Trio of starters in pukan aqua Demarcus Robinson and the always reliable Cooper cup but what gets me excited are the names coming in right behind them Tyler Johnson as the first Reserve is a pleasant surprise he has the ideal frame to a consistent threat tutu Atwell remains on the radar and could be the secret weapon for explosive plays Jordan Whittington is a name to watch he could surprise a lot of people and we can't forget about Xavier Smith who despite not being an immediate starter has drawn a lot of attention in training camp his speed could make a difference tight end the injury to Tyler higgy ACL has created an interesting situation Colby Parkinson takes over as the starter followed closely by Davis Allen this shows the confidence the coaching staff has in these players Hunter long is further down the depth chart which is a surprise considering his experience will we see a fierce competition for this position during the pre-season and how will the team handle higgy's return when he's healthy offensive line This is an area that deserves special attention we have several injuries at tackle which could open up opportunities for lesser known names to shine Aller Jackson and Rob havenstein are the starters but both are dealing with ankle foot issues Joe not booom and Warren McLendon are the backups but McClendon is also injured names like Blake lson AJR cury and newcomers Matt casy and Conor McDermot could get valuable reps in the preseason the interior of the line seems more stable with Jonah Jackson Steve AA and Kevin doson as the starters but keep an eye on Logan bruss and Bose Slimmer who could surprise defensive line the depth chart shows only two starters Kobe Turner and Bobby Brown i i i suggesting we'll see a lot of the nickel scheme 525 this season Braden Fisk and lurel merchison appear as immediate backups but what's interesting here is the names like Tuli Lula gasa Tyler Davis and dwan Johnson are listed as next in line but I wouldn't be surprised to see them gain more ground over the course of the preseason Edge rushers Jared verse and Byron young are the starters and form a young and promising Duo Michael hoet and Nick Hampton as backups bring versatility to the group the surprise here is to see Brennan Jackson who has been praised in Camp listed further down he'll certainly be a name to watch in preseason games linebackers um Ernest Jones IV is the the Undisputed leader of this group but the big question is who will be his ideal partner Christian rosoom appears to be the starter alongside Jones with Troy reader and Jacob hmel as the backups what intrigues me is seeing rookies Omar spites and Elias Neil so far down the pecking order will they be able to move up the depth chart during the preseason cornerbacks um this group promises to be one of the strengths of the defense Darius Williams Tre avus white and Kobe Durant form a very solid starting Trio Jerry Jacobs and tree Tomlinson as backups show the depth at the position the injury to Daran Kendrick ACL is a blow but it looks like we have options to make up for his absence safeties Cameron curl and John Johnson I I I are an experienced and talented starting Duo what excites me are the backups ceron kinchin and Jason Taylor I I have the potential to be impact players when called upon Specialists some interesting surprises here Joshua cardi is emerging as the starting kicker over Tanner Brown on returns it is intriguing to see tutu Atwell listed as the primary option for both punts and kickoffs this could directly impact Boston Scott's chances of securing a roster spot in conclusion this depth chart gives us a lot to discuss and analyze it shows a team with an interesting mix of established veterans and young Talent ready to take the next step the preseason will be crucial in defining many of these positions and seeing who really stands out when the lights come on SO Rams
