What NFL record are you surprised hasn’t fallen yet?
Last season, new Los Angeles Rams defensive end Myles Garrett set an NFL record with 23 sacks during his final year with the Browns. It was a record that was destined to happen eventually, given how T.J. Watt nearly broke it a few seasons ago. With all that in mind, what’s an NFL record that […]
L.A. Rams News: They could use a ‘career backup’
Calling a quarterback in the NFL can come across as incredibly insulting, but if you consider how hard it is to play QB in the NFL, being called a “career backup” is a bit of a compliment. Is Ty Simpson a career backup? We don’t know yet, but I can tell you I have been […]
How recent quarterbacks have fared after MVP seasons
Matthew Stafford was the 13th consecutive quarterback to win the AP Most Valuable Player after bringing it home for the Los Angeles Rams in 2025. The last time a non-QB won was Adrian Peterson with his superhuman season in 2012. It’s a quarterback award for the most part these days, and the list of recent […]
Longtime NFL writer puts 5 Rams in his top 100 players
It’s the unofficial ranking season for the NFL, when the real news slows to an agonizing crawl and to fill the void, the writer/blogger/podcaster class fills their time with rankings of players, teams, divisions, uniforms, etc. Pete Prisco, a longtime NFL writer over at CBS Sports, recently published his list of the top 100 players […]
L.A. Rams News: Byron Young a top-100 player?
It will be interesting to see where Jared Verse and Myles Garrett end up on the NFL top-100 list, but Byron Young has cracked the list for the Los Angeles Rams and that’s really exciting for him and the team. It will be interesting to see how many Rams end up in the top-100. This […]
Could Matthew Stafford have multiple years left?
Matthew Stafford is at the stage of his career now where the topic of retirement comes up every offseason, but the Rams’ MVP quarterback says he has no plans to plan ahead. “It is year-to-year because I think it’s fair to the team, I think it’s fair to me, my family—I don’t want to sit […]
Rams announce death of franchise great LeRoy Irvin
LeRoy Irvin has died after a long battle with throat cancer. He was 68. The two-time Pro Bowl cornerback for the Rams was drafted by the team in 1980 and had an immediate impact, forcing turnovers as early as his rookie season, and then being named as a first-team All-Pro in 1981. Irvin spent 10 […]
Matthew Stafford can’t escape disrespect after new PFF rankings
Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford is coming off a career year and is the reigning MVP. Yet Pro Football Focus rated him only the fifth-best starter heading into the 2026 season, suggesting he continues to be disrespected by the media to some degree. PFF’s Dalton Wasserman and Max Chadwick’s rankings of the NFL’s 32 […]
Where did the Rams go to college?
Each year, 250+ college prospects are drafted by NFL teams and another 500+ are signed as undrafted free agents. These roster candidates are provided by 800+ college football programs from coast-to-coast. 93 percent of NFL 53-man active rosters came from NCAA FBS schools in 2025. According to drafthistory.com, Notre Dame (538) has had the most […]
Build your perfect Rams offensive lineman
The Los Angeles Rams have been blessed with some of the best offensive linemen in NFL history. From Hall of Famers to overlooked role players, every era of Rams football has featured trench warriors who helped define championship-caliber offenses. Whether your memories begin with Tom Mack, Jackie Slater, Dennis Harrah, Kent Hill, and Doug Smith, […]
L.A. Rams News: More uniforms?
The Los Angeles Rams may be revealing another new uniform this year, maybe. We don’t actually know, but it sounds like something the Rams marketing team would do. For me, I gotta say I miss the St. Louis uniforms. I also think the classic Eric Dickerson (if you will) uniforms have a nice touch to […]
Inside CJ Daniels’ winding college journey to the Rams
The Los Angeles Rams and wide receiver CJ Daniels kept tabs on each other long before their paths crossed in the 2026 NFL draft. Daniels, who Los Angeles traded up 10 spots with the Eagles to acquire in the sixth round, told the Rams’ official website that he models his game, specifically his releases, after Davante […]
ESPN hates the Rams’ offseason
The Los Angeles Rams have been getting positive marks for their acquisitions all offseason, starting and ending with two blockbuster trades for Trent McDuffie and Myles Garrett. But the whole could be worse than the parts, at least according to ESPN. Seth Walder, the network’s analytics expert, posted his annual offseason grades on Wednesday and […]
How Rams could fall apart by the time Ty Simpson takes over
The Los Angeles Rams earned some endearing names for their aggressive team building approach: “F them picks”, “stars and scrubs”, and “veteran-centric”. Despite “F them picks” enduring as the lasting moniker, I find that “stars and scrubs” most accurately represents how the Rams were able to accumulate key veterans, stay under the NFL salary cap, […]
Draft class 2024 check-in: 4 Rams no longer on team
40% of the Los Angeles Rams’ 2024 draft class is no longer with the team: The Rams made 10 picks total three drafts ago. Braden Fiske is now the top-billed remaining player after the team shipped Verse to the Cleveland Browns in the Myles Garrett trade package. Those who are still on the roster figure […]
‘Major disappointment’ if Rams don’t win Super Bowl?
Travel back in time about a month ago when the Los Angeles Rams traded for Myles Garrett. Garrett was formally introduced to L.A. during a press conference and one of the media members said the quiet part out loud for L.A. when they described not winning the upcoming Super Bowl as a “major disappointment”. Perhaps […]
Rams have 6 RBs on All-Time Top 100 list: Is that enough?
Will Kyren Williams become one of the top-100 running backs of all-time? If so, the Rams’ current starter could become the seventh running back in the history of the franchise worthy of that designation. L.A. already has six of the top-75, according to one website. Windy City Gridiron published a list of the top-100 running […]
Giants could be harder game for Rams than you think
Will the New York Giants give the Rams a tougher battle than anticipated in Week 2? With a combined record of 7-27 over the past two years, one would think not, but if you look a little deeper at the Giants then the outcome may not be as cut-and-dry as an easy win for the […]
Better Rams offseason: 2017 or 2026?
The last two times the Rams had an offseason as explosive as 2026, they were much worse teams the year before. Coming off of a 4-12 season in 2017, the Rams hired Sean McVay, signed Andrew Whitworth and Robert Woods, traded for Sammy Watkins, and drafted Cooper Kupp. And following a 10-6 season in 2021, […]
L.A. Rams News: The roster is strong in this one
Top-heavy or not, this Los Angeles Rams team has a strong roster. They have quality starters all over the field. At least, that is the expectation. This team may make mistakes, they will make mistakes, but they shouldn’t have any consistent holes. That’s the plan. That is the hope. The roster is strong in this […]
Two Rams draft picks from a year ago ranked worst at their positions
Two of the Los Angeles Rams’ 2o25 draft picks standout in a negative light in comparison to their rookie peers from a year ago. Konata Mumpfield and Ty Hamilton ranked among the worst at the receiver and defensive tackle positions, respectively, in their first seasons. This is particularly problematic because the Rams did not make […]
Ranking the Rams’ non-divisional games from worst to best
The Los Angeles Rams have several important games on the 2026 schedule, several of them involving NFC West foes. Fans know that matchups against the Seahawks and 49ers will be a blast, but there are plenty of exciting games outside of the division as well. Here is a full ranking of the Rams’ non-divisional games […]
Are the 49ers better or just a little bit different?
The Rams will meet their arch-rivals from the NFC West, the San Francisco 49ers, about 10 weeks from now. Looking at the changes that the 49ers have made in the offseason, including the addition of Mike Evans and the return of Nick Bosa from a torn ACL, it’s not clear to me if San Francisco […]
Which 2026 first round pick is most likely to become a future Ram?
Yesterday, I wrote about how the Rams DO value first round picks. They have acquired 24 former first round players in the 15 years with Les Snead constructing the team as the general manager. So with the Rams having a history of being considered aggressive buyers and or willing to make blockbuster deals, it’s fair […]
Can Sean McVay “scheme around” offensive line vacancies?
While the drama swirling around Los Angeles Rams starting left tackle Alaric Jackson and whether, or not, he’ll face NFL disciplinary actions is disconcerting, the situation is not untenable. In just the past three years, L.A. has faced the problems of having one or more offensive line starters missing a number of times. It won’t […]
