Can Mike LaFleur’s Cardinals challenge Rams?

Only one team in the NFL went all 17 games without scoring at least 28 points this season: The Arizona Cardinals. Even the Jets, Browns, Raiders, and Titans all had at least one game with 28 points, but the Cardinals didn’t top 27 in any single game this year and that’s despite a high-priced quarterback […]

Rams 2027 free agents: Who should be extended?

With the Los Angeles Rams having been so close to the prize in the past two seasons, there should be remaining confidence that the window is still open for another deep run.

Will Bubba Ventrone be more of the same on special teams?

The Los Angeles Rams were quick to hire a new special teams coordinator at the end of the season.

Kobie Turner extension should be atop Rams’ to-do list

Most around the NFL expect the Los Angeles Rams to extend star receiver Puka Nacua this offseason. While that is certainly a major priority for the team, we also cannot forget about interior defensive lineman Kobie Turner.

Former Rams coach has important role in Super Bowl

Sean McVay’s coaching tree with the Rams has a wide reach, but one name that never comes up in those conversations is Thomas Brown.

Chris Shula not the issue with the Rams defense

Over the second half of the 2025 season, the Los Angeles Rams defense took a lot of criticism, with a lot of that landing on defensive coordinator Chris Shula. However, while the defense, and specifically the secondary, ended up being the downfall of the Rams’ season, Shula won’t be going anywhere. After interviewing for multiple […]

Rams draft: Prospecting for receivers that do double duty

If the Rams decide to keep Xavier Smith as the punt returner and WR #5, it won’t be difficult. As an Exclusive Rights Free Agent, for all intents and purposes, he’s tied to the Rams unless they want to dismiss him. Smith hasn’t been bad in L.A., actually a decent value, but he’s never really […]

5 Rams that performed below expectations in 2025

Last week, I wrote about 5 Los Angeles Rams players that exceeded expectations in 2025. But just as every story as “feel good” moments, there is also typically hardship and misfortune.

Is Davante Adams worth keeping for 2026?

There’s no denying Davante Adams’ arrival played a huge role in help to correct a years-long red zone issue for the Los Angeles Rams. Adams led the NFL with 15 receiving touchdowns through the regular season and playoffs. But Adams is not the same player he was in his prime. He’s still useful in a […]
