who got this right WAAY before I did. Sure I read all about how Tutu was working with Kupp after Year 1, getting every WR position routes down, etc, but I was one of those lamenting the loss of Creed over the positives of Tutu. Hats off to those of you who were right. <I'm Gladly Eating crow>by RamsFanSince69 - RamsFootballFans.com
At least he doesn't plagiarize her entire article. He leaves out key quotes from Lafleur and Puka himself (who gives credit to all the veteran Rams' WRs, including Skowronek, Tutu and Van) plus she described how Puka had to earn the right to join Stafford/Kupp's breakfast meetings, so he does omit key parts of Jourdan's writings. What I didn't like is that he's giving credit to the Athletic insby RamsFanSince69 - RamsFootballFans.com
DaSilva gives credit to the Athletic but it's her writing that he quotes. Cameron loves to plagiarize her great writing quotes and insights. It is what it is.by RamsFanSince69 - RamsFootballFans.com

Inside the record breaking rise of Rams rookie Puka Nacua LOS ANGELES -- Puka Nacua's 10th catch on Sunday set the record for most catches in a rookie's first two games. His 11th put him over 100 yards receiving for the second game in a row. But his 12th showed just who the fifth-rounder out of BYU is on the football field. On fourth-and-2 and trailing the San Francisco 49ers by 10 with 10:by RamsFanSince69 - RamsFootballFans.com
You're right - kudos for Wendell for taking on MM's guidance. I give MM/Wendy credit for the OL doing so well, and if they can tune up the OL running game, that'd be a true weapon. MM is a true Hall of Famer, baby!by RamsFanSince69 - RamsFootballFans.com
As I reported earlier this summer, Mike Munchak was consulting with the Rams OL and position coach Ryan Wendell through training camp. He is still in that role and McVay says team is “working through specifics” (i.e. terms) of what that looks like through the season.by RamsFanSince69 - RamsFootballFans.com
Man - watch that play where Avila chases Hargrove away from the tackle - every bit as fast as Hargrove. Loved the footwork, enthusiasm and the way this young mane FINISHES his blocks. Playing through the echo of the whistle.by RamsFanSince69 - RamsFootballFans.com

Goff makes the right play, following his progressions with a tight window for a critical 1st down. Goff had Amon-Ra St Brown for a TD if he goes off script. Stafford wins the playoff game when we were up 27-3, blew the lead, and answered with under a minute to play, With Ndamukong Suh IN HIS FACE !!! Stafford just sees stuff better, can adlib out of the progressions better. Awesome anby RamsFanSince69 - RamsFootballFans.com

Agreed. But it could also mean that they are less certain about Zach Thomas as Anchrum backup as well as NB being up during games and cross training allows them to keep only him active versus Thomas or other Guard only players. Interesting to note that Jackson played well as G last year but no mention of his cross training this year. Reading the tea leaves seems to imply he's got the inside trby RamsFanSince69 - RamsFootballFans.com
Thanks JY53 - we should rename you "the Professor"by RamsFanSince69 - RamsFootballFans.com
:worthy That's outstanding stuff - a million thank you's for educating what I don't know. I'm going to get my 16 year old son to "book up" on your drawings and maybe it'll improve his Madden game. Seriously Jim - thank you! :clapby RamsFanSince69 - RamsFootballFans.com
Hey JY53 Thx so much for posting this stuff, but the $95 question for me is when do you play what defense to take away what the offense is doing? I don't mean to get into McVay's playbook but it would be meaningful to know what each defense is trying to take away. The only one I know is the "2 deep coverage" tries to take away the long ball by double covering the outside WRs. Mby RamsFanSince69 - RamsFootballFans.com

I’m wondering how many Rams shave. Of the 88 players on the Los Angeles active roster over the weekend, 53 of them stepped foot in the Rams’ facility for the first time in the last 15 months—since the 2022 draft. That includes a startling 36 rookies. So 60 percent of the Rams are virtual NFL newcomers. Contrast that number, 53 newbies, to the two teams we probably think of as the biggestby RamsFanSince69 - RamsFootballFans.com
Settling the top 5 OL ASAP and getting them reps as much as possible. My biggest fear remains that they won't have time to gel and start the beginning of the year. McVay needs to understand what we need to be hitting on all cylinders as soon as the real games start.by RamsFanSince69 - RamsFootballFans.com
Good to see you back, my friend! ..and taking over a thread to boot - nice one! Cheersby RamsFanSince69 - RamsFootballFans.com
That was my belief as well, that Stafford took less money than what he could have, to help the Rams' cap situation. If that's true, it puts a different light on the whole situation, and I would have done the same as Matthew did.by RamsFanSince69 - RamsFootballFans.com
so the Rams and McVay have to "Show me" that they can do it. I think the early schedule will be key as I expect the Rams to finish the season strong. But the early games against tough competition will be a major challenge with so many moving parts to pull together. Biggest concern is injuries affecting key players we are counting on, with unproven backups not just Stafford, Kupp andby RamsFanSince69 - RamsFootballFans.com
I'd add that she also engages in conversations where you can ask your own questions / comments. Not all the time but it's pretty cool when you get the chance.

Ernie could take people out with his physical play. I still remember in the playoffs, some DB hitting his hip and getting concussed or something like that. So when Conwell blocked you, you were out of the play! I thought that he was an underused pass catcher, and loved whenever he got the ball, because he would just truck over somebody. In the finesse days of the GSOT, Ernie Conwell broughtby RamsFanSince69 - RamsFootballFans.com
