DOs and DON'Ts - 3 days ago

He seems to get it... - 3 days ago
He received a nice, short-term, payday at the conclusion of his rookie deal but, if he wants to maximize his career earnings, this is a key season for him. If that motivates him to come in to camp in top shape, all the better for us.by AvengerRam - RamsFootballFans.com
Kyren Williams, "System RBs," and the Other Two Guys - 4 days ago
Kyren Williams has been extremely productive in the past two years, averaging over 1,200 rushing yards, 1,400 yards from scrimmage, and 15 TDs per year. This, despite some deficiencies we all can see. Yes, he's quick and has good vision... but he's average, at best, in acceleration and top end speed. Yes, he's tough... but he's not exactly Steven Jackson when it comes to power. Yeby AvengerRam - RamsFootballFans.com

No, I don't think the league is corrupt. - 10 days ago
Has the league, through certain actors, done things that can be described as "corrupt"? Perhaps. Is the league, on a whole and as an institution, "corrupt"? I don't think so. The league is, first and foremost, a business seeking to increase revenue and profits. They are also a strange hybrid that can seem like a paradox... a collective consisting of semi-independeby AvengerRam - RamsFootballFans.com
Without the text of the opinion, my response is somewhat limited, but... - 11 days ago
It seems that that the evidence showed that a recommendation was made by the NFL Management Council to reduce guarantees offered to veteran players, but that there was insufficient evidence to prove that the teams abided by this recommendation to a level that collusion could be found. Seems like a minor issue to me. The Management Council meets with the teams to discuss business operations anby AvengerRam - RamsFootballFans.com

That's not news to me. - 12 days ago
I'm well aware of the potential for a long-term issue that could impact his ability to play this year and, possibly, beyond. There is also a possibility that his current condition can be treated and that he can resume playing. Without, as you note, all the details, there's no way for us to know. I'm simply making a prediction (which, admittedly, reflects my hope).by AvengerRam - RamsFootballFans.com
Ten Rams Predictions: 1 for Every Month (July 2025 - April 2026) - 12 days ago
This is a sort of time capsule. We'll see how well I do! July 2025: The Rams will watch as Jalen Ramsey is traded elsewhere. August 2025: Alaric Jackson will recover and prepare to start the season. September 2025: The Rams will not sign Kyren Williams to an extension before opening day. October 2025: The Rams will finish the month with a winning record for the first time since 2021.by AvengerRam - RamsFootballFans.com

What is Sean McVay's biggest weakness/area needing improvement? - 17 days ago
Sean McVay has established himself as one of top head coaches in the NFL. What he has accomplished in his first HC stint at an unprecedented young age is remarkable to say the least. But he's not perfect. If you had to pick one weak area or, put more constructively, an area which he should focus on improving, what would it be? I'm going to say it's his timidity when playing with a lead.by AvengerRam - RamsFootballFans.com

Hopefully, time is on his side. - 22 days ago
In 2022, Jackson's blood clots were discovered in the middle of the season, resulting in him being shut down. This time, he has nearly 3 months to deal with the issue before the season starts. I'm going to hold out hope that proper treatment will address the issue and he'll be in the lineup on opening day.by AvengerRam - RamsFootballFans.com
How can the Rams have better 1st Quarter Starts in 2025? - 25 days ago
I've been looking back at last year's games, it struck me how close many games - both wins and losses - were. Both for their overall competitive advantage,and my blood pressure levels, I'd love to see a few more "easy wins" in 2025. It was also my perception, based upon my memory and watching highlights, that the Rams were not a good first quarter team in 2025. The numbers confirby AvengerRam - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteRams43 QB (other than trading up for talent or FA, no real home grown talent) Jared Goff was home grown. We then traded for Stafford. I'm not sure that the failure to obtain another starter-quality QB with selections outside the top 100 picks is all that noteworthy. RB. Been a bit iffy since Gurley. Even Kyren has his issues.

In a word, yes. In another word, CONTINUITY. - 26 days ago
I believe that continuity - which has become more and more elusive in today's NFL - is hugely important. The Rams' will likely have only 4 new starters: Center: Coleman Shelton replaces Beaux Limmer (upgrade, and Limmer remains as a key reserve) Wide Receiver: Davante Adams replaces Cooper Kupp (I'll call it equal, but if Kupp can't get/stay fully healthy, it's an upgrade).

It absolutely matters HOW the season ends - 26 days ago
It's not about a moral victory or consolation prize. It's a barometer of just how close the team is to being able to make it to the Super Bowl. The Rams showed that they are close. That's why their depth chart has only 4 likely new starters (5 if we acquire Jalen Ramsey), and they're all either lateral moves or upgrades. The Rams are close.by AvengerRam - RamsFootballFans.com
Well... not exactly - 26 days ago
Okay... but it's not like those subscriptions (other than Sunday Ticket's cost over and above YouTubeTV) only provide access to football. To me, the price of going to a game in person is closer to being at an exorbitant level than TV access.by AvengerRam - RamsFootballFans.com
Packers releasing Jaire Alexander - Ramsey alternative? - 26 days ago
Would the Rams have any interest in Jaire Alexander as a Jalen Ramsey alternative? He's younger, but has missed a lot of time due to injuries. He'd probably be significantly cheaper. If not, perhaps another Ramsey suitor will sign Alexander and put the Rams in a better bargaining position. Or should the Rams just go to battle with their current group of CBs?by AvengerRam - RamsFootballFans.com

Rams' New Credo: "We BEFORE Me" - 4 weeks ago
At first glance, it's a subtle change from the old "We Not Me" credo, but I think it's interesting and potentially meaningful. Both statements have the primary purpose, of course, of promoting actions that are calculated to benefit the team first and foremost. The term "not me," though, could be interpreted as a complete rejection of self-serving action. That is,by AvengerRam - RamsFootballFans.com
5 things that will make the preseason (relatively) interesting - 4 weeks ago
I'm not a big fan of preseason games. Who is? That said, there are a few things that should be worth watching this year: 1. The Running Back Room I doubt that Kyren Williams will suit up in preseason, but it will be interesting to see how his backups are used and how they look. Blake Corum will be first in line, I'd expect, to be the RB2, but Jarquez Hunter will almost certain get hisby AvengerRam - RamsFootballFans.com
