The Los Angeles Rams offensive line has been one of the worst in the NFL to start the 2025 season, especially when it comes to pass-blocking. Every week, Ben Baldwin shares a pass protection ratings chart that ranks each offensive line in the NFL based on their composite scores from different analytics outlets. After Week 3, the Rams rank 31 out of 32 teams and are only ahead of the Cleveland Browns.

Throughout the Les Snead era, the Rams haven’t been afraid to make moves on the offensive line when it’s been needed. In 2023, they traded for Kevin Dotson...

The Los Angeles Rams (2-1) host the Indianapolis Colts (3-0) for a 4:05 (ET) kickoff in Week 4 of the NFL season and I am taking the Rams in this one by a final score of 24-21. Both teams have plenty to gain and plenty to lose in this matchup.

The Colts are looking to show they are not just a flash in the pan, not just a top team in the AFC South, not just a top team in the AFC as a whole, but to show they are one of the best teams in the NFL.

The Los Angeles Rams made the decision this past offseason to bring back Coleman Shelton to play center. While Beaux Limmer started at center for much of the 2024 season, the Rams brought back Shelton to raise the floor at the position even if he didn’t have the physical ceiling of Limmer especially in the run game. Shelton was a player that brought an element of familiarity in the offense with quarterback Matthew Stafford.

However, through three weeks, it’s fair to wonder whether or not the Rams made the correct decision bringing Shelton back. When the Rams moved on from...

The Los Angeles Rams must lick their wounds from last week’s debacle before taking on the undefeated Indianapolis Colts. Both teams are facing off for the first time since the Rams won a 29-23 overtime thriller in 2023. Puka Nacua scored his first career touchdown in that matchup, so he could be due for another big game this weekend.

Before we get too ahead of ourselves, I spoke with Stampede Blue’s Chris Shepherd regarding Indy’s red-hot offense, Daniel Jones and more. Much appreciation to Chris for taking the time to answer the 5Qs this week!

**Q – The Colts are...

There has been a lot rumbling about how Matthew Stafford has been doling out targets on pass plays this season. Although it is still very early in the season, the Rams have so far concentrated their targets amongst only two receivers and many are wondering if this is a problem or not.

That all depends on what Sean McVay wants his offense to be moving forward, but it’s certainly unusual.

Through the first three games of the season, Stafford has zoned in on Puka Nacua and Davante Adams for an amazing 69% of his throws, 67% of catches, and 74%...

Puka Nacua has had a remarkable and historic career with the Rams already but there’s one thing he hasn’t done yet: Puka has surprisingly never won an NFC Player of the Month award. The NFL leader in catches and yards through three games, Nacua could finally check that box if he has another monster performance against the Colts on Sunday.

Do you expect Puka Nacua to hit 100 yards again and will his resume be good enough to win the NFC Offensive Player of the Month award for September?

I don’t know who all follows the logic of Jerry Jones waiting to traded Micah Parsons right before the season, and his defense of the blockbuster move, but the Los Angeles Rams have picks, and if they wanted to trade for some stars now, they may be able to use those their dract capital for some moves.

Is that the smart thing to do, trade those high picks now? Probably not, but you never know when a superstar will become available, and we’ve all seen the Rams use that “‘forget’ dem picks strategy”.

What’s funny about Jones is that he...

Over the past decade, the Los Angeles Rams have benefitted from having one of the stronger front offices in the NFL. This was a front office that went for it in 2021 and it resulted in a Super Bowl title. After a lot of analysts predicting that the Rams would fall off after trading away high draft picks, they have recovered and remained competitors.

After ranking eighth among front offices per The Athletic in 2024, the Rams came in at number three in 2025. Several executives around the league praised general manager Les Snead and the job that he’s done...

The Los Angeles Rams are in need of a physical cornerback on the outside. After losing Ahkello Witherspoon for three months due to injury, the Rams are lacking a bigger presence on the outside. While Emmanuel Forbes has length, his frame can still be taken advantage of on the perimeter. The same can be said about Darious Williams and Cobie Durant.

The turning point of the Rams losing to the Philadelphia Eagles was Jalen Hurts attacking the perimeter with AJ Brown. Brown is a top-10 wide receiver for a reason. However, the Rams defensive backs consistently got taken advantage of...

Many view former Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald as the greatest player to ever don the horns, and some would even argue he’s the greatest NFL defensive player of all-time. No doubt jersey retirements and Hall of Fame jackets were in Donald’s future after his retirement in 2024, and on Monday the first post-retirement domino fell as it was announced his alma mater the University of Pittsburgh would be retiring his college No. 97 jersey during their November 15, 2025, game against Notre Dame.

Athletic director Allen Greene surprised Donald with the news in a video shared by the school....

The Los Angeles Rams have shifted part of the identity of the offense in 2025. Throughout much of head coach Sean McVay’s tenure, the Rams have primarily been an 11 personnel team, operating with three wide receivers on the field. However, this season, the Rams have mixed in a lot more 12 personnel, utilizing two tight ends in the offense with depth at the position.

This season, the Rams have operated in 11 personnel at a 68.7 percent clip which is the 13th highest rate in the league. For comparison, this was 82.4 percent last year. That ranked second in...

When the L.A. Rams host the Indianapolis Colts this weekend, it will feature a quarterback who is on a Hall of Fame trajectory and Matthew Stafford will be there too. We often compare quarterback reclamation projects to previous quarterback reclamation projects (“he’s the new Geno Smith”; “he’s the new Sam Darnold”) but Jones’s situation is a little more unique because some are calling him the new Saquon Barkley.
