Rams agree to one-year deal with Houston LB Zac Diles

[RWDtexans]

Heh...he's from Tulare, CA? A central Cali guy; he should be easliy used to the heat in St. Louis this summer at TC.

Anyway great signing, good starter (hopefully)

If he can handle houston heat he can handle anything. Trust me its like a freaking oven down here

[AvengerRam]

Nice!

Primary Needs:

Offensive Guard [X] Harvey Dahl
Back-up Running Back [ ]
Defensive Tackle [ ]
Outside Linebacker: [X] Zac Diles
Safety [X] Quintin Mikell

Looking good so far!

Great signing, instant starter at OLB. Another great Devaney/Demoff move!

[THOLTFAN81]

"Zac is excited about the opportunity in St. Louis and is looking forward to helping the Rams hopefully reach the playoffs," said Diles' agent, Brian Ayrault.

THats what I like to hear

hey st loius new on this forum and my first post. im a texans fan here and im sad to see this guy go. This guy was playing at a borderline pro bowl level in 2009 when we had a respectable defense. But i can assure you he is going to blossom next to laurinitis

welcome to the clan.

i`m excited about our day now..Dahl and Diles.
at first i wasn`t too happy with it being just a 1 year deal because he`s only 26, but on reflection it will give him an extra incentive to bust a gut and win a longer contract with us (or elsewhere).

Another Devaney special.? A young player with the best football ahead of him, IF he can stay healthy.?
Not seen him play but he sounds an upgrade over most of the OLB the Rams own. WE WILL SEE

Excellent! It's great to see little animal get some much needed help. Very good pick up, keep'em coming.

Welcome to our forums RWD. Thankyou for our incite on him and I honestly didnt know anything about him but great insight by you.

BtW think this 1 year contract is the safest and most motivating for Zach and the Rams. Excited about this.

Diles had 71 tackles through 9 games last year before dealing with some irregular heart/dizziness issues that lasted the rest of the year.

Could be a major breakout year if he can overcome the health concerns.

Great pick up! Loving our front office this FA period. Now we need to sign Snelling!

[TheBritishRam]

Finally got a decent WLB, hopefully he will go on to earn a long term contract with the team.

When healthy he is a very versatile solid LB. I hope he stays healthy and can finally be the perfect compliment we need next to Lauranatis.We are a DT and RB away IMO if we sign Gibson and Clayton cheap.
