The 49ers need Nick Bosa to be elite — not just good, not just top 10, but genuinely dominant. The host has been saying this since Week 1 of training camp: without elite pass rush, the defense can’t function. The problem? Nobody’s getting to the quarterback. When you can’t apply pressure to Matt Stafford and the Rams offense, your secondary gets torched. Plus: The offense has to carry the load with six-to-seven minute drives, scoring touchdowns, and controlling the clock — but that’s not susta...

Joe Cardone is the Rams’ long snapper for the next two years after being signed by LA this past offseason, and he’s good, very good. So good, in fact, that he’s now the third-highest-paid long snapper in the league. While a salary of $1.725 million doesn’t seem like a whole lot in a sport where […]

Well, most of us anyway. The Los Angeles Rams come into the season as a clear Super Bowl favorite. But not all of our Yahoo Sports experts picked L.A. to win it all. The Rams were the most popular Super Bowl pick, but not even the unanimous pick to win the NFC West. It was unanimous in predicting the A...
