Do Rams have a rookie blind spot?
For another year, the Los Angeles Rams are unlikely to get much value out of their rookie class. Given the success that recent Super Bowl winners have had thanks to contributions from rookies, is the draft Les Snead’s biggest blindspot and could it hold the Rams back from winning the Super Bowl in 2026? 2026 […]
5Qs, 5As with Canal Street Chronicles: Is a division title ‘in sight’ for Saints?
The Los Angeles Rams head to SoFi Stadium for the second week of preseason action against the New Orleans Saints. This will be LA’s only preseason game in front of the Ramily, and won’t play in front of the home crowd until Week 2 in a Monday Night Football date with the New York Giants. […]
Ty Simpson’s first impression matters in a big way
First impressions are extremely important in the NFL, especially for first-round picks and even more so for quarterbacks. While Ty Simpson was far from setting the world ablaze on Saturday against the Kansas City Chiefs, he still had a strong debut with the Los Angeles Rams. The rookie first-round pick left a positive impression that […]
What message did Tom Brady give Ty Simpson?
Ty Simpson was taking part in a Fanatics event when he was gifted a message of encouragement and a signed jersey, all from Tom Brady. The video is below, as is the quote from Brady to Simpson and it’s all very wholesome. If you can forget for a moment that Brady won two Super Bowls […]
5 Rams questions I have after first preseason game
Saturday’s game between the Los Angeles Rams and the Kansas City Chiefs brought answers and left us with some significant questions. There remain two exhibition games to collect information ahead of the page turning to the regular season. If searching for answers to the leftover burning questions, these are the areas I would start: 1 […]
Myles Garrett, Puka Nacua absences will be prolonged
Neither Myles Garrett nor Puka Nacua were supposed to be missing this many practices based on initial reports, but the Los Angeles Rams don’t expect to get either star player back this week, according to Sean McVay. Although McVay stated last week that Nacua would return to practice, the head coach has now pushed his […]
Liam Coen regrets decision to leave Rams after 2022 season
Liam Coen was on The Pivot Podcast when he spoke about one of his biggest coaching regrets, and it boiled down to Coen leaving the Los Angeles Rams and Sean McVay at the end of the 2022 season after L.A. finished with a win/loss record of 5-12. 2022 was McVay’s only losing season with the […]
Matthew Stafford ranked 1st on controversial top-10 list
As the reigning MVP, Matthew Stafford is no stranger to being called the best quarterback in the NFL right now, but maybe the order behind him is up for debate. Dave Portnoy released his top-10 quarterbacks list on Monday and the L.A. Rams’ QB was first, unsurprisingly, but Lamar Jackson was nowhere to be found. […]
What happened at Aaron Donald’s second Rams workout?
Aaron Donald had another workout with the Los Angeles Rams this past Sunday, as he and the team continue to figure out if he can give the 2026 season an honest go. Many assume that Donald will be back with the Rams at some point, but he could decide that he wants to stay retired […]
Re-setting the Rams depth chart after first preseason game
If Sean McVay is using the preseason to make a decision on who Matthew Stafford’s backup should be, then Ty Simpson has taken a lead over Stetson Bennett. The rookie was clearly the better quarterback of the two in Saturday’s preseason opener against the Chiefs, but will McVay stubbornly stick to Bennett, or go sign […]
Aaron Donald completes 2nd official Rams workout
Aaron Donald had his second official workout with the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday, adding another chapter to what has become one of the biggest NFL storylines of the summer. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported the latest development via the league’s transaction wire, providing another indication that Donald is seriously considering a return to the team […]
Rams make surprising addition to roster on Sunday
The Los Angeles Rams signed punter Jack Bouwmeester on Sunday, giving them two on the 90-man roster headed into their second preseason game against the New Orleans Saints this week. Bouwmeester is Australian and qualifies for the league’s international pathway program exemption, meaning that the Rams can control his rights without him counting against their […]
Myth busting narratives surrounding Ty Simpson’s NFL debut
It’s true that Los Angeles Rams rookie quarterback aced his first NFL game. The first round pick led LA to a victory over the Kansas City Chiefs on Saturday. Simpson was accurate on over 90% of his throws. He demonstrated a level of mobility that is foreign to recent Rams quarterbacks. Simpson’s arm strength was […]
C.J. Daniels is no Puka Nacua
Two of the biggest winners in the L.A. Rams preseason opener on Saturday were receivers who didn’t even suit up, which includes Konata Mumpfield and Jordan Whittington, because on Sean McVay’s team it’s not how you play in the preseason but how often you don’t play that really matters. And whereas Brennan Presley and Xavier […]
Upon further review: Brennan Presley’s big day
Brennan Presley had one of the most productive games of any player in the Los Angeles Rams’ 20-12 preseason win over the Kansas City Chiefs Saturday. In what will be an uphill climb to make the roster, it was a strong first step for the former Oklahoma State Cowboy. As a speedy but especially small […]
Good, Bad and Ugly: Ty Simpson, defense showed out in KC
The Los Angeles Rams came away victorious in their preseason opener with a 20-12 win over the Kansas City Chiefs on Saturday. LA put together a strong showing in Kansas City, as Ty Simpson and the defense showed out this weekend. Here is the good, the bad and the ugly from the Rams’ preseason matchup […]
Rams PFF Grades: Stetson Bennett finished last on offense
Pro Football Focus (PFF) published the Los Angeles Rams’ first grades of the 2026 season. LA earned an exhibition victory over the Kansas City Chiefs on Saturday. The highlight, of course, was first-round quarterback Ty Simpson’s debut. PFF was kind to him in their grading, and there is more to come on that. After each […]
Rams preseason snap counts: What we learned for 53-man roster
The Los Angeles Rams have been consistent in their approach to the preseason in the past decade under Sean McVay. We know this will be a very competitive roster to make. There may only be a few spots up for grabs on the margins. Sometimes McVay’s most telling move is who sits out. There were […]
Ty Simpson compared to Baker Mayfield after 1 preseason game
People have ways of hedging their bets when it comes to highly-touted quarterbacks in the preseason, and Ty Simpson’s successful debut for the Los Angeles Rams on Saturday was prime real estate for hedging. You see, if Simpson played poorly, then believers would say “It’s only the preseason, who cares?” and skeptics would say, “I […]
Rams giving Aaron Donald all the time he needs
Even when the Los Angeles Rams actually take the field, the looming possibility of Aaron Donald returning to the team still makes headline news. After the Rams knocked off the Kansas City Chiefs 20-12 in their preseason opener Saturday, coach Sean McVay was asked about Donald’s potential return, and he responded with an understandably measured […]
Rams’ Winners & Losers: Ty Simpson is bringing the future
Ty Simpson was pinpoint accurate in his debut for the Los Angeles Rams on Saturday, as the first-round pick led his team to a 20-12 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs. Starter Stetson Bennett got just two drives to open the game before leading to Simpson, a potential glimpse into the future and the rest […]
Undrafted safety steals show for Rams against Chiefs
While it would seem impossible to outshine quarterback Ty Simpson in his preseason debut, L.A. Rams safety Nick Andersen gave the first-round pick all the competition for attention that he could handle. Andersen, an undrafted rookie out of Wake Forest, has made an outstanding case to make the Rams 53-man roster after his debut performance […]
Rams-Chiefs preseason final score: Ty Simpson leads L.A. to win in NFL debut
The Los Angeles Rams beat the Kansas City Chiefs by a final score of 20-12 in their first preseason game of 2026, as rookie quarterback Ty Simpson led the way with two touchdown passes to running back Dean Connors. It was a low-scoring affair for about three quarters, until the Rams pulled away after Simpson […]
Rams-Chiefs preseason Week 1 game thread
The Los Angeles Rams travel to take on the Kansas City Chiefs for some preseason Week 1 NFL action. This game will not be Matthew Stafford vs. Patrick Mahomes. That should come later in the regular season. This game will apparently feature some Stetson Bennett and Ty Simpson, so there’s a lot to watch for […]
Rams-Chiefs preseason: Keys to victory
The Los Angeles Rams will open their 2026 preseason schedule Saturday afternoon against the Kansas City Chiefs at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium. The game is scheduled for August 15 at 4 p.m. ET, and with the Rams expected to keep their starters on the sideline, the focus will be less about the final score […]
