Quotepromomasterj I wish it were so, but odds are there's a reason they're on the bench. There’s a few players that might benefit from snaps: Williams McCutcheon Atwell Hardy Durant Lake No guarantees, obviously, but there just might be a gem or two amongst them. What’s to lose, anyway?

Quotepromomasterj 'Drain the bench'? Is that a business plan for a multi-billion dollar franchise. Advertisers and ticket sellers just love the preseason with all the empty seats and local ads. C'mon. The NFL isa massive global business. You need something to advertise - and team tryouts on television are not it.

It’s time for the Rams to pull the plug on 2022 Sitting at 3-6, the chances of making the playoffs are near zero, it’s now time to turn the focus onto the 2023 season CliffJackson Coming off of the second Super Bowl in franchise history, the 2022-2023 Los Angeles Rams had lofty expectations as the defending champions.

I fear that McVay has acquired tunnel vision in play calling, or maybe he has simply lost his fastball. OTOH, his options are greatly limited by assorted injuries. Not eliminated but definitely limited. But given McVay’s stubbornness and ego don’t hold your breath waiting for him to hand over play calling duties.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Sean McVay isn't giving up play-calling duties coach in the NFL is his play calling. Sure, he’s a tremendous leader and puts together strong game plans, but his play calling makes him one of the better coaches in football. His play selection and situational calls this season have come into question during the offense’s painful struggles throughout the year. The Rams rank 29th in poinby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Quoteh2omelonhead Interesting that Kupp gets injured the week after he called out that Grass should be used for Football games, not Turf. And then Stafford gets a concussion.. maybe on Turf. Will the Rams make a move on the Field situation? Changing from turf to grass at SOFI is simply not doable. And it’s not about the cost. The field is in a gigantic pit 100 feet below ground level.

Rams need a major reload. Not quite a rebuild, but kinda close. Clock is ticking on both AD and maybe Stafford. Which means Snead/McVay need to NAIL this draft and FA. ‘Pretty goods’ won’t be enough to pull us out of this ditch.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com

Hear me out… McVay kept starting the useless Evans which jeopardizes his QB among other things. Sure enough, Stafford suffers a concussion which probably cost us not only a game from him but probably a win vs hapless Cards. As a result of Stafford’s concussion Wolford starts. He not only embarrassed himself but his poorly placed passes reduced Kupp to 4 catches for -1 yards AND got Kuppby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com

There will be ample opportunity to discuss offseason moves and the draft in detail after the season. But some generalities for now? Gotta ‘fix’ the OL. Not gonna sugarcoat it.
