It appears Kendall has the size to play inside or outside. Even if he can't get to the quarterback, at 6' 6" he's got a good chance of getting one of his big mitts on the ball. Fish will coach him up .. Looks as if J.J. is a seasquawk

He's a solid young player that should be a reliable member of the defensive line rather than the patch-jobs the Rams have been cycling through. I'm not expecting spectacular numbers as much as I am consistent performance (which for a lineman usually goes unheralded anyways).

54 sacks?!
Wait never mind, it also includes hits and hurries.

Yeah, they probably shouldn't have led with sacks there. As long as he transitions between the systems well, it should be a solid signing. After releasing both our starting defensive tackles, we kind of had to do something about the position in free agency.

I'm not the biggest Langford fan, but I've got to admit...you guys are absolutely killing this offseason. I'd be stoked if I were a Rams fan.

Id still like to see the Rams to draft a one or two technique, to compliment Langford. Apart from Dontari Poe, who could you see the Rams taking to fill this role in the draft.?

Brandon Thompson in the second is a really good option. He plays on top of the center and I would be very happy if the Rams got him. If the Rams want to get a Jason Jones clone, they can look at Kendall Reyes in the second as well. Reyes may be drafted late in the first by a 3-4 team however like the Patriots.

Thompson is exactly who I thought of after Jones chose Seattle and we got Langford. Type his name in youtube and he has 4 games highlighting him (VA Tech, GA Tech, NC State, Maryland). Very very good player.

I like the signing! Underrated player, and good against both the pass and run.

He had an off year last year... I think we picked up a nice player.

Just thought I'd post this part of the quote Rambos posted again to highlight some spectacular detective work by the journalist:

The Dolphins lost defensive lineman Kendall Langford to the Rams.

That explains why former Dolphins defensive lineman Kendall Langford agreed to terms with the St. Louis Rams on Saturday.

[SLSG]

After reading a Dolphins message board, they seem to think very highly of Langford.

Physically this guy looks like his awesome, and from what we hear he looks awesome. Not gonna lie stats don't look good. But I trust this and I feel like this is one of those signings where he will instantly show up next year and will be a huge playmaker in the NFL? not just rams ourselves



Good stuff Fishnead goodstuff

If you are looking at stats when trying to judge a 3-4 defensive ends play, then you have already failed...
