The 2020 second-round pick has just not been effective in Los Angeles.

The Los Angeles Rams have finally seen enough of Cam Akers and have sent him to the NFC North.

Akers has been traded to the Minnesota Vikings for what can best be described as extremely low compensation.

Minnesota has had virtually no running game through two weeks and their backfield prior to this trade consisted of Alexander Mattison, Ty Chandler, and former Washington Huskies star Myles Gaskin.

Akers was a healthy scratch against the San Francisco 49ers, a week after he put up one of the least effective...

DK Metcalf, Riq Woolen, and Will Dissly were among the DNPs for the Seahawks.

The Seattle Seahawks’ first practice ahead of Sunday’s Week 3 home game against the Carolina Panthers was pretty light on players who actually practiced.

If you want good news, it’s the fact that Jamal Adams was a full participant as promised by Pete Carroll. Doesn’t mean that the safety will be playing this weekend, but it shows he’s closer to his season debut. Noah Fant and Derick Hall were also on the injury report but practiced in full.

Evan Brown missed a few plays against the...

The Rams have finally parted ways with 2020 second round pick Cam Akers, reuniting him with Kevin O’Connell

After being a healthy scratch from Sunday’s game against the San Francisco 49ers, ESPN’s Adam Schefter is reporting that Los Angeles Rams running back Cam Akers has been traded to the Minnesota Vikings for a swap of 2026 draft picks. Los Angeles will receiver a future 6th round pick for Akers and a 7th.

Akers had a fall out with head coach Sean McVay last season, which saw the running back almost traded, however, it seemed the two were able to work...

The Arizona Cardinals are 0-2 and now enter the tough part of their schedule.

It has not been a good, or really bad start to the season for the Arizona Cardinals, but more an expected result with a positive process.

That may be ending this week though, as the Arizona Cardinals open up a tough stretch of games against some of the top contenders in the NFL, and they start it off this week against a team in the Dallas Cowboys who have looked like one of the best teams in the league.

The Cowboys have a devastating defense and...

Does Sean McVay have a role for both Kupp and Puka at the same time?

What 16-year NFL veteran receiver Steve Smith had to say about Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp has to be heard by L.A. Rams fans. There’s good in it, no question. There’s a lot of good in it.

There’s also some aspects to what the former All-Pro and Pro Bowl receivers had to say about the Rams offense, Matthew Stafford’s tendencies, and Kupp’s hamstring that should give fans reasons for concern.

In the latest episode of the Cut To It podcast, which I’ve queued up here...

The 49ers are heavy favorites after an excellent start to the season.

The San Francisco 49ers have proved to be one of the best teams in the NFL through the first two weeks of the season. Relatively healthy after a pair of comfortable victories, the Niners will have a quick turnaround before facing the New York Giants on Thursday. The Giants have already had a pair of disappointing performances, losing a blowout to the Cowboys before nearly losing to the tanking Arizona Cardinals last week.

Due to our sponsorship with Tallysight, we have to pick every game. But, as usual,...

The Seattle Seahawks escaped Ford Field with an overtime victory over the Detroit Lions, and while they avoided any serious injuries in the process, several players were dinged up and could potentially miss time going forward.

One of the names that fans were most concerned about regarding a possible injury was tight end Will Dissly, as the reports that the Seahawks were looking to poach a blocking tight end off the practice squad of the Philadelphia Eagles sent alarm bells off for many. The fears of those fans were confirmed by Seattle head coach Pete Carroll Wednesday, as he stated...

The former Michigan star will need surgery on his injured shoulder.

It looks as if Mike Morris’ rookie season with the Seattle Seahawks is already over.

The former Michigan defensive lineman was placed on injured reserve on Wednesday, but since it’s the regular season there’s the chance of returning off the IR list. In Morris’ case, his injured shoulder will need surgery, and Pete Carroll has confirmed that his recovery timetable will pretty much be a season-ender.

Morris played in the preseason opener against the Minnesota Vikings before missing the rest of August with the aforementioned shoulder injury. Pete had...

The New York Giants will be without Saquon Barkley, Andrew Thomas, Azeez Ojulari, and Ben Bredeson.

The New York Giants injury report just came out. We already knew they’d be without running back Saquon Barkley, as he has an ankle injury. But according to New York’s beat reporters, three other starters were ruled out Wednesday afternoon.

Left tackle Andrew Thomas, was a second-team All-Pro selection in 2022, was ruled out with a hamstring injury. Thomas is a stud. So much so that he signed a five-year, $117.5 million contract this past offseason.

Left guard Ben Bredeson was ruled out with...

Still early but LA has a strong chance to make a playoff push in a rebuilding year

Remember when some of these so-called “experts” predicted that the Los Angeles Rams would be lucky to win one of their first five games? Some even thought LA would start the year 0-5.

I suppose it’s still possible for the Rams to lose out in their opening slate but I’d say the team has already surpassed early expectations. Now this is no time for a victory lap. Yet, when sorting through the remainder of LA’s schedule, it doesn’t seem quite as daunting as...
