NFL 2018: One roster cut each team should make, but won’t
By Dan Parzych
Los Angeles Rams: Troy Hill
What a difference a year made for the Los Angeles Rams last season after the team went from one of the biggest laughing stocks in 2016 with a 4-12 record to quickly becoming a serious threat in the NFC under Sean McVay. Originally, the plan for the Rams seemed like it would be taking a year or two to adjust to the new ways of McVay, but after winning the NFC West, expectations are higher than ever heading into the 2018 season.
Watching Los Angeles make history last year by becoming the first team to go from worst to first in scoring shows how much of an offensive mastermind McVay truly is, and one can only imagine how fun this unit is going to be to watch over the next couple of months. Of course, an offense like the Rams can only do so much on their own without the proper support from defense, but knowing McVay and Wade Phillips, they’ll make sure their players are ready.
One of the big stories on defense from the offseason was how Los Angeles brought in a new duo with Marcus Peters and Aqib Talib, meaning other cornerbacks like Troy Hill could be at a major disadvantage for playing time. Hill seemed like a lock originally for a roster spot, but with an up-and-down preseason, who knows what the Rams have in mind for the final cuts.
