Sean McVay confident in whichever 5 starting offensive linemen the Rams go with Cameron DaSilva Sean McVay has yet to reveal who his five starting offensive linemen will be in Week 1. We have a good idea of what it will look like, but it’s not as if this group is set in stone. Alaric Jackson is likely to start at left tackle, with Steve Avila next to him at guard.

Rams’ scary defensive prospects: secondary rated worst in the NFL Rams cornerbacks and safeties could not escape it. In June, the website Pro Football Focus ranked NFL secondaries for the 2023 season. The Rams were dead last, worst in the NFL. Fans took notice. “We’ve heard it, for sure,” safety Jordan Fuller said. Second-year cornerback Derion Kendrick said he was “very awby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
You take a backseat to no one in that department. My prediction remains the same, however. Rams will win 8-9 games. And Rams will be a scrappy and entertaining team to watch.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteSoCalRAMatic Overall, I lined the article, but have one little criticism. He wrote, " He already has three career interceptions after playing defensive snaps in just seven games last year, so he produced a lot of big plays in limited action." 3 is a few. 3 is not a lot. 8 would be a lot. Words matter. Yeah, as others have pointed out, it’s all about context here. 3 intby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
IOW, it wasn’t intentional, but once his hands were in the helmet he couldn’t instantly let go. This is the nature of face mask penalties in general. But I also see the reason why the league must enforce financial penalties. No one wants to see players injured in this way.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Can’t argue with this list at all. I expect big things from all of them. Plus a few more: Akers Avila Hopkins/Davis Allen Tomlinsonby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteShecky But you are disrespecting the WR3. How so?by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteCROMWELL21 He was the only kicker available. Sugarcoat it all you want Our front office has done amazing things but drafting and being mind numbingly short sighted at times is not one of them. The PK situation could have been handled much better, no question.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Time will tell, of course. Not predicting a SB, obviously, but I do think an 8-9 win season is attainable with these players and these coaches.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Sean McVay glad to land Brett Maher, who's kicked 'at a high level' for a while Cameron DaSilva icker this season. That wasn’t because of his performance in practice or the preseason, but because he was the only kicker on the team all summer. That experiment didn’t work out and the Rams were left without a kicker on their 53-man roster when final cuts were made. They’ve since signedby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com

He seems more like a young vet with his football smarts. Almost a Kupp-lite type of rookie candidate. As such, I think he’ll get some snaps and will impress. As quality snaps add up they will feed him more and more. Honestly, I suspect that he will be a solid #3 WR by mid season. No disrespect intended for WR’s 4-6 intended, btw. This is a very good and very deep WR corps.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
I just don’t see Kendrick starting ahead of Tomlinson. And this new Shelly looks like an intriguing wild card in our CB room. Kendrick might soon be trying to cling to the 5th CB position. I think Jackson has clearly won that LOT job over Boom. Shelton over Allen at OC. And Dotson likely to overtake Anchrum at RG early in season. Love our Safety room.

Not predicting a Todd Gurley type of season, mind you, but I am expecting a very productive season for this young man. All the planets are lined up for him to prosper. A contract year for Akers. Newly re-energized McVay re-discovering the running game. An OC with a strong background in run game appreciation. A rebuilt OL with size and physicality. An OL coach that really ‘gets iby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Robinson Johnson Dotson Witherspoon JJ And now Shelly. All affordable and reasonably effective. Hope they can work some magic at DL and/or Edge. I’m still projecting an 8-9 win team.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Not loaded with a lot of new rookies. Lot’s of quality players. New emphasis on running game and physicality. It’s the D where we see question marks. Edge DL CB (a little bit) The D is gonna be a work in progress for a while. Hopefully, they will grow on the job and be effective by mid season. If so, this will be a fun season to watch as we springboard into 2024. I’m cautiousby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Our WR room is still well stocked. Jefferson Atwell Nacua Skow Robinson And they can bring up Tyler Johnson if need be. Besides, hamstrings are not season ending injuries.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
If he can be an upgrade over Anchrum, so be it. The goal is to field ‘best 5’ and Dotson might soon prove to be one. As an aside, I’m pleased that this OL appears to be getting bigger and bigger not to mention more physical. Stafford and Akers are gonna thrive behind this OL, I think. Night and day better than last year. Hot Damn!by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
She deals with Ram defensive philosophy for this and prior years. Some eye opening stuff in this part. She said she’s been working on this one for weeks. She hints at new aggressiveness on D this year since Ram O is believed to be rejuvenated. In one of her replies to a fan she said that DL was her biggest concern, not Edge.

QuoteRamsdude We have seen enough of him to know exactly who he is. He has been "up and down" his whole time here. IMO, he is just average at best and the author summed it pretty well: "the fourth-year back who is among the biggest boom or bust candidates in the league". This is a contract year for Akers so I expect a little more effort, even if he's hurt. The questionby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com

After all those years of spending like a drunken sailor with both cap dollars and premium draft picks now the Rams are fiercely holding the line financially.

Rams are in the market for an edge rusher but they don't seem to love who's available Cameron DaSilva his season is jarring. They don’t have a single edge rusher from last year’s initial 53-man roster on this year’s team. Leonard Floyd, Terrell Lewis, Justin Hollins and all the other edge rushers are gone. Yes, Michael Hoecht is back on the team but this time last year, he was a dby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
