When Aaron Donald retired from the NFL and the Los Angeles Rams, Donald expressed that he felt full, complete and finished with his playing career. Flash forward a few years later and AD is thinking that he either has something left in the tank worth putting on the field, and or he feels he can achieve more than he already has, but will AD find the “passion” to play again?

We all know that Donald knows what it takes to have a successful NFL season, does he still have the drive all these years later? There are so many questions...

When fans think about the greatest pass rushers in Los Angeles Rams history, several names immediately come to mind. Every era has featured edge defenders who brought something different to the field. Some overwhelmed offensive tackles with rare explosiveness, while others relied on refined technique, relentless power, or an endless arsenal of pass-rush moves. Today’s Rams have continued that tradition with another exciting group of edge defenders, making the debate just as fun for modern fans as it is for those who remember the franchise’s legends.

But instead of asking one simple question—who is the greatest Rams edge rusher of...

The Los Angeles Rams had so much success with 12 and 13 personnel in 2025 that in many ways Sean McVay once again revolutionized the NFL and set trends for the following season. That was good for last season, but could it really work for McVay’s Rams next season, now that the league knows what to expect from L.A. when they put two or three tight ends onto the field in 2026?

What’s McVay’s next trend, not his last trend?

Warren Sharp of Sharp Football Analysis did an interview with Awful Announcing on Tuesday and was asked, *“If the Rams...

The Los Angeles Rams need a third receiver behind Puka Nacua and Davante Adams, and a potential trade target could be waiting for them on the East Coast. Bleacher Report’s Moe Moton said L.A. should consider trading for Patriots receiver DeMario Douglas, if New England doesn’t deal wideout Kayshon Boutte this summer.

“The Rams have one of the league’s best receiver tandems with Puka Nacua and Davante Adams, but the No. 3 spot is wide open. Although Nacua and Adams frequently shift inside the formation, the offense could fit in a primary slot receiver.

Los Angeles may...

The Los Angeles Rams, San Francisco 49ers and Seattle Seahawks are all expected to compete for a postseason spot this year. Which team will be the best out of those three? A fair question. Depending on who you ask, you can likely make an argument for each team being the best.

Do I think the 49ers have a better offense than the Rams? I wouldn’t say that, but I do think it could be said. Mike Evans should be interesting and if the 49ers can stay healthy, they should be better off than they were last year.

NFC West looks...

This spring the Los Angeles Rams snapped a nine-year streak of drafting running backs.

On the surface that seems like a good news and an endorsement for second-year back Jarquez Hunter, who effectively took a redshirt year as a rookie. The bad news for Hunter is that Ronnie Rivers slotted ahead of him on the depth chart last season and will return again for 2026.

Here’s how the lineup should look when training camp opens later this month:

1A – Kyren Williams

1B – Blake Corum

First reserve – Ronnie Rivers / Jarquez Hunter

**Likely camp bodies – Jordan Waters,...

Aaron Donald has not told the Rams yet that he wants to return to the NFL, but the three-time Defensive Player of the Year did go to the team facility to workout last week with the intention of seeing how it would feel. This is according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, who told the Pat McAfee Show on Monday that Donald’s appearance at the Rams’ facilities last week was not one of the routine check-ins that he’s been doing for the last couple of years during retirement.

It was, in fact, a practice run to “see how he felt” and “how...

Matthew Stafford is the reigning MVP, but not the NFL’s best quarterback, at least in the eyes of the league personnel who was polled by ESPN. In a top 10 ranking posted by ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, Stafford ranked as the third-best quarterback behind Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes.

Stafford’s MVP campaign vaulted him into the top three in convincing fashion. Stafford earned an impressive 17% of the first-place votes. He has not been a fixture in the top half of the voting since the inception of our top 10 lists in 2020, but Stafford produced the fourth season in...

While most of the hoopla around Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay is about being a quarterback whisperer and wide open offense guru, he doesn’t stray that far from traditional offensive football values.

Over his nine seasons, the Rams have only been within the NFL’s Top 12 in pass play percentage once, 8th in 2019. He has been very consistent year-to-year, averaging around a 57/43 pass to run mix. As part of the run game, he has not been blessed with mobile quarterbacks to pump up those run play percentages.

He has though, [not been afraid to mix up...

With some time before the Los Angeles Rams training camp begins, I’ve noticed myself in a reflective mood lately. Part of that can be attributed to ongoing life changes, and remembering that this week marks five years since I started writing for Turf Show Times.

That can’t be right — has it really been five years already? Man, where does the time go? Indeed, it’s true what they say: time flies when you’re having fun, and I’ve had a blast being part of this community.

I began my time at TST completely by chance. One day, I was surfing the...

Cooper Kupp and his Seattle Seahawks are coming off a Super Bowl win, and apparently, he’s in Los Angeles training with Puka Nacua. It’s cool to see the fomer Los Angeles Rams’ teammates still working together, despite being on separate teams. Who knows what the future holds? Perhaps someday they’ll be on the same team again, that doesn’t seem the most likely, but you never know!

What we do know is it’s July and players have to start getting ready (if they haven’t already) for all the football that lies ahead. I hope Nacua and Kupp enjoy their training together,...

The Los Angeles Rams must feel pretty good about the success of their monumental 2021 trade that swapped Jared Goff and a cache of picks for Matthew Stafford. The move resulted in a Super Bowl championship at the team’s home in SoFi Stadium.

Years later Stafford is finding new heights in his career. He just put a bow on his most productive season yet and earned the NFL’s Most Valuable Player honors.

Even with things going so well, the Rams understand quarterback is the most important position in football. Stafford’s career continuation is on a year-to-year basis. He could easily...
