Rams urged to trade for DeMario Douglas; should they?

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 […]

L.A. Rams News: 49ers with the better offense?

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 […]

Will Jarquez Hunter find a role in 2026?

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 […]

Aaron Donald inches closer to Rams return

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 […]

Matthew Stafford not ranked as #1 quarterback

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 […]

Will it be the “Running Rams” in 2026?

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 […]

Power ranking my 5 favorite articles from 5 years at TST

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 […]

L.A. Rams News: Training with the enemy

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 former 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 […]

Does Ty Simpson have potential to surpass Matthew Stafford?

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 […]

Opinions split around the NFL about the Rams offensive line

If you love to talk about offensive line play, it’s been a banner week of NFL content for you. ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler is publishing his annual lists of the top 10 players at each position in the NFL, as voted on by coaches, scouts and front-office personnel. That includes the lists of best tackles and […]

The Rams have a free agent problem

While every general manager would like to have the type of draft that Les Snead experienced in both 2023 and 2024, it comes with a high price tag four years down the road. After enjoying some very stellar play at the discounted prices that go hand in hand with rookie contracts, it’s time to start […]

Aaron Donald’s potential unretirement isn’t only a Rams story

The potential unretirement of Aaron Donald has been one of the bigger offseason storylines across the NFL. The speculation started around when the Los Angeles Rams traded for Myles Garrett. Until that trade, there was no real sense that Donald had any plans to suit up in the NFL again, but after that move, fans […]

L.A. Rams News: The Seahawks still have a great defense

All eyes on the Los Angeles Rams, but the defending Super Bowl Champion Seattle Seahawks should not be overlooked. They had a tremendous defense last year, and like many teams who win a Super Bowl, they lost some players. But they also gained some players, and they retained some absolute studs. This Seahawks team will […]

Aaron Donald works out at Rams’ facilities as star mulls comeback

TMZ Sports released footage of Los Angeles Rams franchise legend Aaron Donald working out at the team’s practice facilities as he reportedly considers a 2026 comeback. Usually it’s a bad sign for fans when TMZ reports on star players. In this case, fans will likely be excited about the news and it will only fuel […]

Of all Rams TE’s, Colby Parkinson is the most important

When you think of Los Angeles Rams breakout candidates on the offensive side of the ball, Terrance Ferguson is one of the first to come to mind. Pass catches usually get all the glory, and statistically Ferguson is primed for the biggest jump. But if the Rams continue their more frequent deployment of multiple TE […]

Rams should reach out to Derek Carr and offer a backup job

Derek Carr is open to returning to the NFL for the right situation, and if his dream is to win a Super Bowl and get his game straight by finally playing with a great team, then the Los Angeles Rams could be the “special” opportunity that the veteran quarterback says he needs right now. Appearing […]

Rams 2026 training camp

With NFL summer time lull winding down, the Los Angeles Rams 2026 Training Camp is primed to begin. There’s less than three weeks remaining until the July 25 reporting date for both veterans and rookies. For the third consecutive year, L.A. will be guests at Loyola-Marymount University and under a newly expanded deal, the Rams […]

Andrew Whitworth shares thoughts on Myles Garrett, Aaron Donald

During football season, it’s usually not too hard to find Andrew Whitworth. After all, the big man plays a big role on the desk crew for Thursday Night Football. This week, however, the Super Bowl LVI champion has been making the media rounds while also playing a few rounds of golf at the American Century […]

L.A. Rams News: Michael Irvin is rooting for Puka Nacua

Michael Irvin (Dallas Cowboys legend) was recently on a podcast with former NFL players Jarvis Landry and Leonard Fournette (I think they have both retired?) when Irvin was asked about Puka Nacua. Irvin seemed to be rooting for Nacua to succeed despite any setbacks he’s had the last year. You can check out the quote(s) […]

Build a Rams offense on a $15 budget

Every NFL fan loves a good roster-building exercise, but this one comes with a twist. Imagine you’re tasked with constructing the ultimate Los Angeles Rams offense using only $15. Sounds easy until you realize that some of the greatest players in franchise history come with premium price tags. The rules are simple. You must build […]

The Rams should flourish with 13 personnel

During the 2025 season, no team used “13” personnel more often or more effectively than Sean McVay and the Rams offense. “13” means there is 1 running back and 3 tight ends on the field for a particular play. This generally forces the defense to match up with base personnel of 3 linebackers and 4 […]

Rams fans: What are you sicking of talking about?

The 2026 offseason has been an extremely busy year for the Los Angeles Rams, but perhaps an even more taxing time for their fans. Between Matthew Stafford’s retirement plans, drafting Ty Simpson because of Stafford’s uncertain future, trading for Myles Garrett and Trent McDuffie, and wondering if Aaron Donald is going to come out of […]

Kobie Turner snubbed, doesn’t get honorable mention

In a survey of NFL execs, scouts, and coaches by ESPN, L.A. Rams’ defensive tackle wasn’t ranked in the top-10 at his position. Or even as an honorable mention. Turner only qualified as “got votes”. Also receiving votes: Cameron Heyward, Kobie Turner, Osa Odighizuwa, Kenny Clark, David Onyemata, Ed Oliver It’s not the treatment usually […]

L.A. Rams News: Ty Simpson’s learning a lot, who knew?

I can’t say whether Ty Simpson has had a great start to his career with the Los Angeles Rams, but if you check out Simpson’s quotes (you can see some below), he seems to be trying his best. On some level, that is all that can be asked. Try your best. Now, depending where you […]
