QB Matthew Stafford & WR Davante Adams spoke w/ me about the challenges of facing the #BigBlue defense

Stafford: “They have a good scheme and those guys attack. When you watch them play, even the first play of the game against the Cowboys, Abdul Carter just blowing up the back sift or whatever that was. You look at those plays and you go, ‘Man, these guys, they play with their hair on fire. They really get after it.’”

Adams: “Sometimes in a situation like what we have, we have a lot of good interior guys and guys up front to where on the back end, those guys may not have to work quite as hard and quite as long. You look at who they have up front and that’s where it starts on every team. They have some guys that can get to the quarterback and put some pressure on you in the run game and all those facets.”

The Rams have signed S Tanner Ingle from the practice squad to the active roster and signed DT Jaxson Moi to the practice squad.

The Rams defense is a bit banged up at the moment, but it should get a jolt on Monday night against the Giants.

Aaron Donald plans to play.

For the first time in two years.

Puka Nacua dealing with injury, might not play for Rams vs. Giants

Aaron Donald will play on Monday night against the New York Giants, but Rams star receiver Puka Nacua did not practice and is questionable for the game at SoFi Stadium, coach Sean McVay said Saturday.

“He’s got a little bit of soreness in that groin, being smart with him as a skill player,” McVay said. “Whether or not he plays is to be determined, and so we’ll see how he’s feeling.”

McVay confirmed that Donald will play for the first time since retiring after the 2023 season. The three-time NFL defensive player of the year said on Friday that he was planning to play against the Giants.

“He said it, he’s going,” McVay said. “Whatever Aaron says I support.”

Nacua, an All-Pro who led the NFL in receptions last season, was sidelined for a few weeks of preseason practices because of a psoas injury. But he caught five passes for 74 yards in the Rams’ season-opening defeat by the San Francisco Giants in Australia.

He practiced Thursday, but did not practice Friday.

McVay said the current injury is separate from the preseason issue.

“This is a different thing,” McVay said, adding that Nacua on Thursday, “felt good but didn’t feel totally like himself, his ability to be able to kind of open up and really hit full speed.”

Nacua is not the only receiver dealing with an injury.

McVay said receiver Jordan Whittington (quadriceps) is doubtful for the game against the Giants.

Receivers Tutu Atwell and rookie CJ Daniels were inactive against the 49ers.

Safety Kamren Kinchens (hamstring) is out for Monday’s game, McVay said.

from Giants Receive Concerning Injury News Before Rams Game

https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/giants-receive-concerning-injury-news-210325411.html

The New York Giants defeated the Dallas Cowboys in Week 1, but not without some nicks and bruises along the way.

Case in point, the Giants will be heading into their Monday night matchup against the Los Angeles Rams with some injury concerns in their secondary.

Cornerback Paulson Adebo did not participate in practice on Thursday due to a knee injury, and fellow corner Deonte Banks was limited with a calf issue.

While neither player has been ruled out for Week 2 just yet, the fact that New York has two players nursing injuries at a position where the club is already thin is worrisome.

The Falcons are not even a professional operation right now. This is hideous.

Props to the Minnesota Vikings on the win. Brian Flores and your defense are legit. It will be absolutely criminal if he doesn’t get a HC position after this season.

Ben Johnson is having one of the worst games I’ve seen from an NFL play caller. If this was a Lions game fans would be losing their minds with all the 2nd-&-10 runs. Every sequence has been incomplete pass on first, run on 2nd, slop on 3rd. Punt.
