Cameron DaSilva
[theramswire.usatoday.com]

Aaron Donald is the talk of the town as the Los Angeles Rams get set for training camp. He’s continuing to mull over the possibility of returning to the Rams for this season, working out in the weight room and training on the team’s practice field.

He sure seems like he’s working toward a return, but nothing has been determined yet. NFL Network’s Steve Wyche believes it’s probably going to happen, though.

Wyche said on Friday after the “Rams Revealed Live” event on Thursday night that “every indication” suggests that he’s “probably going to do it.”

“Aaron Donald is putting in the on-field work to really see if this is something he’s about to do. And every indication that I got was that he’s probably going to do it,” Wyche said.

Donald was recently seen working out at the Rams’ facility, which Wyche says wasn’t a “one-off” and that he’s been ramping up his training regimen in advance of a potential comeback.

“I spoke to someone who said, ‘Remember that video a couple weeks ago of Aaron Donald working out at the Rams’ facility doing the on-field work? That was not a one-off. He is putting in the work on the field to see if this is something he really wants to do.’ But he is training as if he’s going to take it up to, ‘OK, I really got this. I can really, really do this,’” Wyche reported.

The timeline for Donald to possibly return is fluid. From the people Wyche has talked to, it seems like if Donald does come back, it will be at some point during training camp to get acclimated to his new teammates.

“Everyone you talk to with the Rams organization says if he does this, Aaron Donald does nothing halfway,” Wyche added. “They would expect him to come back at some point during training camp, not only to get himself physically ready, but to indoctrinate himself into a roster to which he hasn’t been a part of for two years.”

The ball is in Donald’s court now, as the Rams (and every one of their fans) wait with bated breath.]]> Rams_43 RamsFootballFans.comSat, 25 Jul 2026 10:49:10 -0400 https://ramsrule.com/herd/read.php?19,1246580,1246580#msg-1246580 https://ramsrule.com/herd/read.php?19,1246580,1246580#msg-1246580 Arkansas Ram RamsFootballFans.comFri, 24 Jul 2026 13:25:21 -0400 https://ramsrule.com/herd/read.php?19,1246552,1246552#msg-1246552 https://ramsrule.com/herd/read.php?19,1246552,1246552#msg-1246552

I paraphrase: If a team that is drafting at a certain position in round one sees a QB that they think is a round 1 QB talent when it is their turn to draft, it overrides all other choices. It doesn't matter if you have a great QB already. Doesn't matter if you have a need for another player at a different position. The QB is so valuable above all other positions, that if you take that QB and all he does is sit and develop for a couple of years behind your star QB, and then plays enough to show he's growing and has got true high level starting NFL potential, at worst you have a player with great trade value.

There are obvious caveats, such as the player is just a bust. But you can't draft on that basis. If your brain trust is convinced of that QBs talent level, you pull the trigger. If you can't rely on your own organization to properly evaluate, and you don't trust yourself to make the right call, then you are in big trouble.

IMO he's generally correct. Green Bay used that philosophy for a long time and it worked out quite well. I think that the Rams took all factors into account this past draft, and knew the chances were high that Simpson would be there at 13. The Rams brain trust was convinced he was a round one talent QB with the exact attributes McVay wants for his style of offense. Doesn't matter what other teams thought. 23 other teams thought GB was wrong about Aaron Rogers. Rams could have had Lemon or a couple of other players that might have contributed more this year. But, QB overrides that.

One more thing: Polian remarked that it is fool's gold to be so sure that next year will be a great QB draft. Last year at this time, it was the same thought for this past draft. But, several of the "sure things" played far below what was expected, others stayed in school, and voila... only 2 QBs are drafted in round 1. No GM worth his salt would plan and make decisions this year assuming those same QBs will all be in line next April as solid 1st round picks.

Again, this is a GMs perspective. I realize fans, media podcasters, perhaps even coaches might see it differently. But, the guy who makes the decisions is the GM. So, take this for what its worth.]]> RockRam RamsFootballFans.comSat, 25 Jul 2026 12:46:28 -0400 https://ramsrule.com/herd/read.php?23,1246535,1246535#msg-1246535 https://ramsrule.com/herd/read.php?23,1246535,1246535#msg-1246535 BerendsenRam Rams ChroniclesFri, 24 Jul 2026 17:38:14 -0400 https://ramsrule.com/herd/read.php?19,1246526,1246526#msg-1246526 https://ramsrule.com/herd/read.php?19,1246526,1246526#msg-1246526

Someone recently posted about Deacon Jones autobiography so I thought I'd go ahead and buy a copy. Little did I realize it was over 550 pages! But I'm an avid reader so I took on the challenge.
This is a book that is very difficult to put down! Co-written by John Klawitter, the text just flows. It starts out, as most biographies, with Deacon's young life at home, about the strictness but family closeness of his upbringing, then getting into his high school and college life. There is a lot about the extreme racist life in the South, which is understandable and shaped much of Deacon's feelings on right and wrong. He witnessed a lot of the wrong, including an event where a car loaded with white teenagers wildly drove into his town and threw a watermelon at a church picnic, where it struck a black elderly woman with her passing several weeks later from her injuries.
Deacon's road into the NFL was not an easy one. Again, racist attitudes were just changing in the NFL and the Rams were also a part of that. Dan Reeves was not the cleanest owner but then very few in the NFL were. The last 2/3rds of the book goes through the seasons with the Rams, almost week by week. There are many interesting stories about fellow Rams, especially Dick Bass, Merlin Olsen, Lamar Lundy, and Roman Gabriel.
I was about 100 pages into the book when I finally noticed that I had a signed copy! So cool!
