The Rams are old in the wrong spots: Matthew Stafford, Rob Havenstein, Davante Adams, Darious Williams
The Los Angeles Rams were the second youngest team in the NFL last season. They haven’t made many changes this offseason that would move the needle in a significant way, as even signings of older players like Davante Adams and Poona Ford were offset by losses such as Cooper Kupp, Demarcus Robinson, and Neville Gallimore.
Los Angeles figures to be one of the youngest rosters across the league again in 2025, which why the question “Are the Rams too old?” might not seem fair...

Do you think the San Francisco 49ers window is closing? I am starting to think they know what they are doing, and that they will be the biggest challenge to the Los Angeles Rams for the NFC West.
I think signing Brock Purdy will work out for them, I think they were smart to move Deebo Samuel, the extended Fred Warner. I think this team can make noise.
Disagree? Let us know in the comments below! And if you do disagree, I hope you are right! I would rather the 49ers [Super...

The Los Angeles Rams defense had a major problem stopping the run in 2024. In Week 1 against the Detroit Lions, they allowed David Montgomery to run the ball down the field, eventually ending with him in the end zone. The next week, James Conner rushed 21 times for 121 yards and a touchdown. Two games later, D’Andre Swift had his way with the Rams defense as he rushed for his highest output since Week 3 the season prior.
It’s true that the Rams run defense locked down in the second half of the season. From Weeks 7-17, they ranked...

The Rams have a history finding Day 3 gems at wide receiver and Konata Mumpfield could be next.
Throughout the Sean McVay era, the Los Angeles Rams have made it a habit of finding late-round gems, especially at the wide receiver position. Puka Nacua was a fifth-round pick and is currently the team’s top wide receiver. Jordan Whittington has shown promise as a sixth-round pick. That’s not to mention Ben Skowronek and Josh Reynolds, who were also Day 3 selections.
What’s even more unusual is that the Rams have selected two wide receivers in the second round, but it’s the...

The Jaguars and Texans have now tapped into the Sean McVay coaching pipeline
A new analysis of which coaching trees have had the most success on offense recently has shown that offensive coordinators who previously worked for Sean McVay have consistently made their new teams better. While none of McVay’s disciples have done nearly as well as McVay himself has done since taking over for the Los Angeles Rams in 2017, they’ve all improved their new team’s success rate, most by a significant margin.
A study by Tyler Greenwalt of TheAnalyst.com shows that McVay improved L.A.’s success rate by a...

NFL players should be able to participate in the upcoming Summer Olympic Games for flag football, and so now the question is do teams and fans want those players to perform in those games, or would you rather the players focus on NFL football?
Look, I want the Los Angeles Rams to focus on the Super Bowl, but shoot if someone can take a chance at winning a gold medal, why would I stand in their way? Both feats seem pretty rad to me.
Do you have an opinion on this? I...

Is Darious Williams the most overpaid player on the Rams salary cap?
Under normal circumstances, Darious Williams would have been an obvious cap casualty candidate in L.A. Rams training camp this fall, if not being cut weeks ago. However, the Rams guaranteed Williams his entire salary and roster bonus in 2025, making any decision to release him entirely based on whether or not he’s the worst cornerback expected to make the team.
Does that make Darious Williams the most overpaid player on the Rams roster right now?
It does not seem...

What would you like to get off your chest about the Rams, the NFL, and not banning the tush push?
Despite a tremendous effort by the NFL, the league was not successful in banning the “tush push” play this week. The proposed rule changes that would have effectively ended the tush push fell a couple of owners short of passing, so it is possible that the Philadelphia Eagles will continue to be a dominant force on short yardage in 2025.
Perhaps the question left is: Do the owners who decided not to ban the play feel optimistic that they’re catching...

Lions withdrew proposal on Wednesday after failing to get traction around the league
The Los Angeles Rams benefited from the NFL’s current playoff format when it hosted the Vikings in January. L.A. won four fewer games than Minnesota, yet hosted its wild card matchup by winning the NFC West. The current playoff seeding is deeply flawed, and changes to the format must be revisited in 2026.
Earlier this offseason, Detroit proposed that teams with the best regular season records would receive higher seeds in the playoffs. Unfortunately, the Lions withdrew the proposal on Wednesday before league owners could discuss it....
