Here’s OntarioRam… It sucks to see CMC going to SF, but I am not too worried about it. That team destroys their RBs. No way McCaffery holds up and stays healthy. I also don't think he will be much of an upgrade over Mitchell (who himself is quite the talent) in that particular system, which really is all about just hitting the hole as fast and hard as possible... you don't need a RB of CMC's tby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Here’s Oldnotdead… I just got off the phone to a friend who works for Fox Sports in Denver. He said there is talk of the Broncos talking to the Rams about trading Bradley Chubb, for Akers and either another player or a draft pick next year. I told him I'd haven't heard anything myself but it would make sense for Akers and the Rams. Chubb is in a contract year. They could extend the contracby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteLMU93 I much rather they go bargain hunting elsewhere. First I'll be curious if they really do get anything for Akers. A 2024 5th as Jourdan has speculated? Awesome... But as far as acquiring anyone I think back to the Corbett trade in mid-2019. A quality OG for a 2021 5th round pick.

I’ve said this before but I’ll say it again here. We have several weeks before OBJ is gonna be cleared to play. At least 4-6 weeks, they say. Not talking mere practice, I’m talking real play here. That’s probably best case scenario, btw.. We now have AR coming on and Jefferson returning together with Allen back as starting OC. So, why not see what we’ve got already on the roster?

I didn’t really want Rams to go after CM, although they apparently did quite aggressively. CM is an elite talent (when healthy) and Rams love to stockpile those kinds of players. But the huge problem is that he’s missed so many games due to injury. Like almost half of them in last few years? Truly, this was a high-risk, high-reward gamble on the 49ers part. That was the deal breaker for me.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com

Ramsey 2nd sack proves LA Rams D desperate for QB pressure . by Bret Stuter The LA Rams celebrated the second quarterback sack of All-Pro defensive back Jalen Ramsey’s career. Until this season, Jalen Ramsey had never recorded a quarterback sack. Now, in the 2022 NFL season, suddenly Jalen Ramsey is finding the range to take down opposing quarterbacks? That has prompted the player,by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com

In Week 6, LA Rams find answer to question: Is it OL or RB? by Bret Stuter Even though the LA Rams are entering their BYE week, there is a lot to ponder, analyze, and discuss regarding the first third of the season for this 3-3 team.

Jalen Ramsey: Rams are 'really in a good spot' despite slow start to season Before the season began, a quick look at the Los Angeles Rams’ schedule led many to believe they’d start the year 4-2 or better. Games against the 49ers, Bills and Cowboys were expected to be tough, but they also had the Falcons, Cardinals and Panthers on the docket. Through six games, the Rams are 3-3, whichby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com

Can’t disagree with a single word here. Heck, I’ve been pounding the table for edge help for several weeks. Doesn’t have to be Burns or Quinn or any other ‘big name’ player.

Currently, with no pass rush (outside of AD and a blitz from Ramsey) and a beat-up secondary, the Rams defense gives up 17.3 ppg.

QuoteLMU93 Don't put the cart before the horse.... How high is the Ram need for OL now that starters are returning, 93? Imo, it’s at most 3rd behind Edge and RB.

Here’s fanotodd… The only real negative I saw was the slow start, including another pick 6. We just don’t have many lousy teams on the schedule to allow us half of the game to figure it out.

I disagree with your premise #1. Once Allen and Shelton return then I consider our OL plenty good enough. Already discussed in another thread.
