n the back-end of the Los Angels Rams defense this fall as the team added 12-year veteran Eric Weddle following his release from the Baltimore Ravens.Johnson is getting set to enter his third season in the league. Lamarcus Joyner has served as his counterpart at safety with the Rams the last two seasons. While Joyner had some decent moments for the Rams Earl Thomas Jersey 2019 , Weddle’s track record of six Pro Bowls and two first-team All-Pro selections brings a different dynamic to the Rams secondary.“He’s just a genius. I haven’t seen anybody like him,” Johnson said on NFL Network on Monday. “I haven’t been in the league long but I know he’s a special one and I’m excited to see what we can do. Not just how it can make me better but I’m excited to see what he and I can do for this whole defense.”The Rams signed Weddle in early March just days after his release from the Ravens. Weddle returns to Southern California, where he spent the first nine years of his career with the San Diego Chargers. Weddle has also vowed to help Johnson take the next step in his game.“I’m here to push him to that next level. He’s got a chance to be an exceptional safety for a long time and I can see it in him,” Weddle said in Mat. “He’s got to get there, so I’ll push him every day that’s for sure.”Weddle may not be the player he used to be at his peak, but he’s coming off three straight Pro Bowl appearances from his time in Baltimore. Having a veteran voice in the secondary could be a big boost for Johnson and the rest of the Rams defensive backs.

General Manager Eric DeCosta could attack the position from several different angles, whether it be via free agency, trades or the draft, and it just so happens that a Pro Bowl running back is potentially available:Entering his fourth season, Jordan Howard eclipsed 1,000 rushing yards in his first two years and fell just 65 yards short in 2018. Howard has recorded an impressive 24 rushing touchdowns in his career and was named to the Pro Bowl as a rookie when he rushed for 1,313 yards and six touchdowns as well as catching 29 passes for 298 yards and a touchdown.With two picks in the third Ty Montgomery Jersey 2019 , fourth and sixth rounds of the draft, Baltimore certainly has the ammo to acquire Howard if Chicago is actually looking to trade, although it’s unclear what what the Bears asking price would be. Howard averaged only 3.7 YPC last season, and he never seemed to truly acclimate to new head coach Matt Nagy’s offense. Starting fresh in the Ravens power running game could reinvigorate Howard’s production. One could say that Howard is too similar to Gus Edwards, the undrafted running back who rushed for 718 yards and two touchdowns for Baltimore last season. While Edwards certainly flourished alongside quarterback Lamar Jackson, Howard is the more proven player with three productive seasons under his belt. However, Edwards is under team control for a couple of more years Womens Hayden Hurst Jersey , and Howard is entering the final year of his rookie contract, meaning that the Ravens could be trading for a one year rental. With Ty Montgomery and Javorius ‘Buck’ Allen as pending free agents, Baltimore lacks a true pass-catching back on the roster. Unfortunately, Howard does not provide much in the passing game either. All in all, a trade for Howard could be tempting on the surface but ultimately would not make a ton of sense for the Ravens when they can simply take a running back in the upcoming draft. Free agency, which starts this Wednesday, also presents other options at the position. Those potential players include Le’Veon Bell Hayden Hurst Jersey White , Mark Ingram, Tevin Coleman, Jay Ajayi, Spencer Ware, Adrian Peterson, Marshawn Lynch, Doug Martin https://www.theravenslockerroom.com/authentic-hayden-hurst-jersey , T.J. Yeldon, Latavius Murray and Carlos Hyde, who was recently cut from the Jacksonville Jaguars.
