Rams | Michael Brockers to start inside

Fri, 27 Apr 2012 10:05:45 -0700

St. Louis Rams head coach Jeff Fisher said rookie DT Michael Brockers, the team's first-round selection, is explosive and instinctive. Fisher said it was important for the team to add a player like Brockers in their division, which features some downhill runners. "One person I know that's smiling right now is (LB) James Laurinaitis," Fisher said.

Brockers will likely start inside next to free-agent additional Kendall Langford. Fisher said Brockers is "NFL ready" and not a project for the team.

"But I think it's just that constant awareness of, 'Hey, don't try to be perfect, but still aim for it.' If you don't, (mistakes) become acceptable. And you can't let them be acceptable."
