Puka Nacua entering Year 2: 'The standard is still set very high, and I don't think I'm close to reaching it' THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. – Puka Nacua raised the bar for a rookie season by an NFL wide receiver in historic fashion in 2023, but by his own admission, it's nowhere close to the very high standard he has for himself – in part because of an accomplished veteran teammate within the Rams' wiby RamsFanSince69 - RamsFootballFans.com

Past years I don't recall seeing kickers (excuse me if that's my mistake). Thanks for including them but I'm also interested in how you rated them? Thx for all you do....by RamsFanSince69 - RamsFootballFans.com
Hey 43, this is no reflection of you but Mr Stuter is grasping at straws here. 1) You don't trade for a practice squad player, you just sign them. Bruss is not worth a bag of peanuts, sorry to say. 2) Long may have decent value this coming year, as long as he can stay healthy. The new KO rules make blockers more important (as there is less ground between 'lines') so a TE with blocking skiby RamsFanSince69 - RamsFootballFans.com

Actually, it was Bruce on the SB winner, then Bruce's 4 TDs (with tears in his eyes on the 3rd TD) against the hated Whiners. But Bulger to McD I saw in person and was hoarse for a WEEK afterwards. Play starts at the 5:50 mark.by RamsFanSince69 - RamsFootballFans.com

Rams front office seeing parallels to 2018 Super Bowl season ORLANDO, Fla. -- When team president Kevin Demoff sat down for an interview at the league meetings in Phoenix a year ago, he noted that the 2023 season reminded him of where the Los Angeles Rams had been in the past: entering Sean McVay's first season as head coach. Demoff admitted at the time that he knew he was being optimistic,by RamsFanSince69 - RamsFootballFans.com
I think this guy - nicknamed Stretch - has the potential to have a huge difference for McVay and the Rams next year. Here's what I took from a recent Jourdan article: John Streicher — game strategy and game management What edges and leverage points will you present to McVay and will he use them? At least McVay had the awareness to joke about adding the role, to help him “not use my timeby RamsFanSince69 - RamsFootballFans.com
From same article - Breer speculating on Wilson • The Rams have been a logical landing spot for Jets QB Zach Wilson. I’d say maybe even more so now with Jimmy Garoppolo signed in Los Angeles. Wilson could use a reset, and to sit for a year, so going somewhere he’d be third string, would afford him such much-needed time. I’ve also heard his old OC from the Jets, Rams OC Mike LaFleur, would be vby RamsFanSince69 - RamsFootballFans.com
How Aaron Donald Knew His Unparalleled NFL Career Was Complete As Los Angeles attempts to map a football team without its star defensive tackle, coach Sean McVay says the three-time DPOY leaves behind a legacy on and off the field.

The fact that McVay did not want him back speaks volumes.... Staley lost something when he became a head coach - my guess is poor communication with his players from what I heard. McVay is totally the opposite.by RamsFanSince69 - RamsFootballFans.com

Want Wentz running the Rams version of the Tush Push behind Avila and our beefy Gs. Hope they can make it happen!by RamsFanSince69 - RamsFootballFans.com
Darious Williams adds another 3 year deal. That 2023 draft class will need serious cap space if they can continue their rookie success. Loved to hear Kobid Turners "Get back to work" after not winning DROY and saw Puka working out in Cooper Kupp's garage. Always love the way the Rams look ahead. No VOID years too gives flexibility and future options. Gotta love it.by RamsFanSince69 - RamsFootballFans.com
Jourdan Rodrigue @JourdanRodrigue · 3h This is *in the story* but at a certain point watching this Shelton and C market, Rams knew they could go a different direction with Avila’s ability to move inside + didn’t want to miss out on a guy who was available who they liked. They waited in FA before and it went poorly. Me: Dotson and Avila made Coleman better. Now with Avila at C, supported bby RamsFanSince69 - RamsFootballFans.com
Puka, Kobie Turner, Byron Young and Avila all will need new contracts then. Davis Allen too. Perfect planning by the Rams to sign both Gs and TE to 3 year deals!by RamsFanSince69 - RamsFootballFans.com
The synergy in our OL made Dotson worth more to our O than other teams. With Avila set we are good for 3 years plus. IMHO a 5 year contract with 3 years guaranteed would have been an overpay. As it stands with 48M for 3 years with 24M guaranteed, that's a 2 year deal that he can be cut in year 3 if he regresses.

Still don't know the details on how it was calculated, as some reports had it being a 5th instead of a 6th.by RamsFanSince69 - RamsFootballFans.com
I can barely keep up with both of you!!! Many many thanks and appreciation to you both! Cheersby RamsFanSince69 - RamsFootballFans.com
Dotson moved to RG when he came to the Rams. After playing 1000s of snaps as a RG in college. Dotson himself stated that it was his comfort level was better at RG than LG. Maybe it's a subtlety that the normal journalists omit but ESPN used to be the gold standard. Now, it seems like only Jourdan is aware of these small but crucial differences. It may also be why Dotson was more comfortable reby RamsFanSince69 - RamsFootballFans.com

You're right, I remember there was speculation that Baker would get a better pick (5th instead of 6th) right after the season ended, due to the decent season he had. But all of the fan sites (turfshowtimes, ramswire, etc) since then had us getting 3 6ths and no 5th or 7th, because the fan sites always forget that Morris' pick was an addition to the max 4 comp picks. So my expectations were thatby RamsFanSince69 - RamsFootballFans.com
