Ty Simpson doesn’t need to be great during the preseason
Ty Simpson is going to see the field during the preseason for the Los Angeles Rams. Coach Sean McVay confirmed as much this weekend. Ideally, he’ll play quite a bit. But while it’s completely understandable if Rams fans want to see him ball out and go ballistic during the exhibition slate, that feels like a […]
Sean McVay confirms Ty Simpson’s preseason plan
The Los Angeles Rams will “definitely” play rookie quarterback Ty Simpson in the preseason, a dramatic difference between how Sean McVay typically treats the franchise’s most important players, but also one that has been expected since the draft. With Simpson needing as many reps he can get after a limited number of starts in college, […]
Sean McVay praises defense for suffocating offense in practice
The Los Angeles Rams could have the best defense of the Sean McVay era. Is it too good for the Rams’ offense to handle in practice anymore? That was the case in Saturday’s practice, the first at Woodland Hills this year, as McVay said that L.A.‘s secondary had their best day of training camp as […]
Sean McVay doesn’t want to talk about Rams’ Australia travel plans
Reporter Gary Klein asked Sean McVay about the Los Angeles Rams travel plans for Australia and the head coach wouldn’t answer the question. L.A.‘s head coach is usually very approachable, but in this interaction not so much. McVay just didn’t want to talk about it, so the rumors continue of a quick trip Down Under. […]
Kurt Warner, not Torry Holt, was the GSOT beneficiary
Whenever the “Greatest Show on Turf” is discussed, the spotlight almost always lands on Kurt Warner. As a two-time NFL MVP, Super Bowl champion, and Pro Football Hall of Famer, Warner’s story is one of the greatest in football history. His journey from stocking grocery store shelves to leading one of the most explosive offenses […]
Cardinals might not be the pushover we expect
The Arizona Cardinals, and especially Carson Beck, turned a lot of heads Thursday night. Most everyone expects the Los Angeles Rams’ divisional foe to be one of the NFL’s worst teams, but could the Cardinals actually surprise this season? Before we go too far off the deep end, this was only one preseason game. A […]
How Horrible is Nick Wright’s Aaron Donald Take?
The worst version of Aaron Donald that we’ve ever seen was still the best interior pass rusher in the NFL, but sports commentator Nick Wright still thinks that was a sign of too much of a decline for the L.A. Rams’ great to return to the team this year. Is Wright’s take on Aaron Donald […]
Report: If Aaron Donald returns, it should be soon
If the rumors about Aaron Donald’s desire to come out of retirement to join the Los Angeles Rams for 2026 come true, then the three-time Defensive Player of the Year will probably announce a decision in the near future, according to ProFootballTalk’s Mike Florio. Donald has been dominating the NFL news cycle more than basically […]
As Rams put off extending guards, another gets paid
The Los Angeles Rams have two starting guards entering a contract year, but as general manager Les Snead mulls over what Kevin Dotson and Steve Avila are worth, the Buffalo Bills struck a four-year, $78.4 million deal with O’Cyrus Torrence. The Bills extending Torrence to a deal paying him almost $20 million per season may […]
Terrance Ferguson is the unlikely key to Rams’ next step
The Rams player who could be L.A.’s most direct path to hitting their next level on offense is second-year tight end Terrance Ferguson. It’s easy to get overlooked on a team this talented, and Ferguson’s rookie season was one he’d probably like to forget on some level, but he may also hold the key to […]
Terrance Ferguson can take the Rams to another level in 2026
It’s hard to improve on being the best team at anything in the NFL. The talent gap, even between the best and worst teams, is truly quite slim, and the league is constructed in a way that generally pulls the great teams down over time and lifts the bad teams up. The Los Angeles Rams […]
Why Puka Nacua hired a new agent
Puka Nacua is showing up for the Los Angeles Rams but he, like many around the United States, wants to be paid for his services and he wants to be paid market value. Right now, Nacua is on his rookie deal and considering his stats, he’s well below what many other wide receivers who have […]
Pressure on, Ty Simpson?
Carson Beck was stellar in his preseason debut in the NFL Hall of Fame Game for the Arizona Cardinals. The rookie third-round pick completed 15 of 19 passes for 188 yards with a score. He also added two rushes for three yards on the ground. His most impressive moment was leading a 13-play, 96-yard touchdown […]
Seahawks rookie vocal about disliking the Rams
The Seattle Seahawks lost a few notable free agents this year, but one of their new replacements from the draft isn’t afraid to say that he already hates the Rams and 49ers despite not even playing his first game in the NFL yet. Rookie safety Bud Clark told Seattle Sports radio this week that just […]
Will Rueben Bain be the Rams’ ‘One that got away’ in draft?
When the Los Angeles Rams opted to draft Ty Simpson, after months of speculation that the team would select receiver Makai Lemon, few questioned if the right choice would be Miami edge rusher Rueben Bain instead. However, with a strong training camp and high praise from former Bucs head coach Jon Gruden, Bain could have […]
What are the best and worst Rams trades under Sean McVay?
Since Sean McVay arrived in Los Angeles in 2017, the Rams have never been afraid to make bold trades, but do they win more deals than they lose? After reviewing every Rams trade in the past 10 offseasons, Les Snead and McVay do have a winning record. Could Myles Garrett and Trent McDuffie end up […]
Can Myles Garrett Lead the Rams to the NFL Sack Record?
The Denver Broncos have already set the bar. This week, Broncos defensive tackle D.J. Jones boldly predicted that Denver can break the NFL record for sacks in a season. After falling four sacks shy last year, the Broncos have the record on their mind. But now that they have Myles Garrett, and possibly Aaron Donald, […]
Former head coach had high praise for Rams and Sean McVay
Former Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott recently visited training camp for the Los Angeles Rams. He joined The Jim Rome Show to talk about his experience. McDermott was highly complimentary of Sean McVay’s operation in Los Angeles. It seemed to be an enlightening experience for someone who will likely be back in the head […]
The Toughest Roster Battle on the Rams Might Be at Defensive Tackle
The Los Angeles Rams may have one of the NFL’s deepest defensive tackle rooms entering 2026, even without adding Aaron Donald. Kobie Turner has already developed into one of football’s premier interior pass rushers. Poona Ford helped transform the Rams’ run defense. Braden Fiske is looking to rebound, Tyler Davis earned a larger role last […]
Rams defensive line is deep and versatile
Los Angeles Rams defensive line coach Giff Smith has created an interchangeable unit for defensive coordinator Chris Shula’s ever-mutating defensive schemes. There is very little pattern to where individual players line up and each player can man every position in the formations. The Rams put a lot of weight on the shoulders of the defensive […]
Trent McDuffie Got Mad When He Found Out He Was Traded
The Los Angeles Rams were one of the busiest teams of the offseason, trading for Trent McDuffie in the spring and then Myles Garrett in the summer, and both deals had players upset that they were changing teams unexpectedly. In the case of the Garrett trade, it was Jared Verse who got caught off-guard, and […]
L.A. Rams News: Matthew Stafford wants to win for Davante Adams
In a story that should surprise no one, Matthew Stafford enjoys winning, he enjoys winning with Davante Adams, and specifically, he’d love to help Adams get to and win a Super Bowl. The Rams were close last year, but sometimes, “If you ain’t first you’re last.” The Rams weren’t last last year. They certainly weren’t […]
Which Ram falls off the roster if Aaron Donald returns?
With each passing day, Aaron Donald’s return to the Los Angeles Rams seems more and more likely. Donald worked out with team equipment on Wednesday, which required the Rams to report his activity to the league office. Sean McVay and the team have maintained that Donald would not return unless he was confident he could […]
Aaron Donald has official ‘workout’ with Rams
For the first time in two years, Aaron Donald is officially involved in Rams training camp. Donald, who has been mulling a return from retirement over the last couple of months, worked out with the team on Wednesday. The “workout” was submitted by the team to the NFL, per league rules, because Donald was using […]
Rams predicted to win NFC West in 14-3 tiebreaker
The Seattle Seahawks may have won the NFC West by two games last year, but that alone doesn’t paint a clear picture of just how close both the Los Angeles Rams and San Francisco 49ers came to winning the division and earning the number one seed. The 12-5 Rams had multiple opportunities to beat the […]
