from Grok on twitter:
Bobby Peters (@b_peters12), author of the “2025 Los Angeles Rams Complete Offensive Manual,” comments on the Rams’ strong execution of four verticals passing concepts in 2025 despite McVay not being known for heavy use of it.
The post replies to ESPN’s Bill Barnwell breaking down a successful Rams play using four verts out of 13 personnel, freeing Puka Nacua for a big gain down the seam.
Peters, who coaches high school QBs in Illinois and engineers football scheme breakdowns, positions the Rams as one of the top four vertical teams he has studied recently.May 11, 2026 at 10:57 am #163924znModeratorSigmund Bloom@SigmundBloom
The most forward-thinking teams are putting together offenses that can morph between 3 TE and 3 WR sets at will and remain dangerous as a running and passing team in either modeMe: what a strange new development. I wonder who started that.

Stafford, a former Georgia Bulldog, ribbed Simpson for playing at Alabama.
“It was funny because, of course, he was like, ‘Welcome, man. I’m super pumped,’” Simpson said Saturday, via Gary Klein of the L.A. Times. “He was like, ‘Loved watching you play, but you played for the wrong jersey,’ because he’s pumping up Georgia.”
SEC rivalries are no joke, and now Simpson is outnumbered by two former Bulldogs in Stafford and Stetson Bennett.
May 13, 2026 at 12:14 am #163937znModeratorWhy didn’t the Rams do more in the draft to help their 2026 team? Because they believed they didn’t need to? Seriously, the reason the 2025 Rams fell short of the Super Bowl isn’t that they had some devastating deficiency. It’s that they lost two out of three to the Seahawks. Pick up a loose ball in the end zone on a two-point conversion try on a Thursday night the week before Christmas, and it might well have been the Rams holding up the Lombardi Trophy six weeks later instead of their division rivals.
Their two trouble spots were the secondary, where they made big moves in free agency to upgrade at cornerback, and special teams, where they made significant coaching staff changes they hope will help. You can make a compelling case that all the Rams needed were minor tweaks, not major upgrades.

May 15, 2026 at 2:15 am #163960znModeratorDuring an appearance on the “Not Just Football” podcast with Cameron Heyward, Donald revealed that the Pittsburgh Steelers asked him if he would play linebacker in the NFL. The Arizona Cardinals also saw him as a linebacker.
“There’s a chance I go to the Pittsburgh Steelers, but I was like, ‘Nah, they asked me, would I want to play linebacker?’ At the time, I’m like, ‘Yeah, I’ll play wherever y’all want me to play,’” he recalled.
Heyward’s reaction says it all.
“They wanted you to play linebacker?” Heyward asked, almost stunned.
“They wanted me to be a stand-up guy,” Donald said. “They wanted me to be – like, Arizona, the Steelers, had me on the board doing linebacker— just running through the stuff. They wanted me to kind of rush from a two-point stance. I never did it but hey, I work hard enough, I’ll get used to it.”

Donald is happily retired and has no interest in coming back, but that didn’t stop the Rams from talking to him about that possibility for two years.
Donald revealed on the “Not Just Football” podcast that the Rams talked to him about coming back for “the first two years.” But he says Sean McVay knew where he was at, and that the two of them talked.
“I’m going to say the first two years, they would still be talking that talk about it,” Donald said. “But it kind of quieted down because he kind of know where I’m at. That’s my guy. We had, we talked. So he kind of knows where I’m at with it.”
