    “The Rams’ defense was an elite unit in 2025, and though the Los Angeles secondary felt beatable at times, the group was generally a sound piece of the defense”

    It wasnt elite and it wasnt sound if the goal is to stop the other team from scoring points.

    I want it on the record that wv-ram is all-in on the Geno-Smith trade to the Jets. The former WVU star will… Play Good Football. And the Jets will win 9 games.

    So many questions about the future. I dont have questions about next year. Its pretty clear what they are doing.

    But after that…? Stafford? McVay? Rebuild? Tank?

    Adam Schefter@AdamSchefter
    Dolphins are signing former Rams free-agent wide receiver Tutu Atwell to a one-year deal, per source. Atwell is from Miami and now returns home.

    Well…he was not a bust. Had some good games.

    Rams could still use some speed at WR. I would think one of the top two picks will be a WR.

    Probably like a breakfast burrito in a campfire. I don’t have the list, and I don’t track the cap, and nobody knows anyway, but they will lose some good players.

    This is it. This is the year. The next window of opportunity is, at best, going to be 2-3 years down the road, and that’s if they get everything right, including a new QB.

    They also might lose McVay. He might not wanna be part of the post-stafford apocalypse. Or is it a dystopia? 🙂

    Course they may not totally tank in 27. Could be they play a scrappy brand of ball and challenge for a wildcard. That kind of thing. I dunno.

    But the Super Bowl window was last season and this season.

    CBS latest mock:

    (Sadiq to Carolina at 19 )


    13 Rams
    Jordyn Tyson WR
    Arizona State • Jr • 6’2″ / 203 lbs

    The Rams addressed their glaring cornerback issues in free agency with the trade and signing of Trent McDuffie plus the free agency signing of Jaylen Watson. That allows them to select Tyson, who is arguably the most explosive receiver in this draft. His film involves him blowing by people to turn decent grabs into big plays after the catch, and Davante Adams can help train Tyson into being his long-term successor.

    Draft Networks latest mock:

    ==================
    13. Los Angeles Rams (via ATL)

    Monroe Freeling, OT, Georgia

    The Los Angeles Rams have been aggressive with their acquisitions of CBs Trent McDuffie and Jaylen Watson. This aggressiveness frees them up to go after another positional need, which is OT. The Rams decided to shore up the protection for Matthew Stafford and draft Georgia OT Monroe Freeling. Freeling has high-end traits and has the ceiling to be a blindside protector for the next decade.
    14. Baltimore Ravens

    Kenyon Sadiq, TE, Oregon

    Welcome back to the first round, Baltimore Ravens! After they pulled out of the Maxx Crosby trade, they got their first-round picks back, and they also addressed the edge rusher position by signing proven veteran Trey Hendrickson. This frees the Ravens up to do what they do best: sit back, allow the board to fall to them, and take the best player available. In this spot, the Ravens go with Oregon TE Kenyon Sadiq. The Ravens lost Isaiah Likely in free agency, and to be completely honest, they could use a high-end playmaker on this offense. Sadiq proves he is a high-end athlete who tested like a WR. But he is also good as a run blocker, which means he could make the Ravens difficult to defend. In the era of two-tight-end sets, the Ravens could have the best in the NFL with Mark Andrews and now Sadiq.

    Just for fun, I offer a slight and doubtless pedantic correction. An unnecessarily expensive statue would be a trope from dyspotian fiction. In post-apocalyptic, they can’t afford expensive statues. Or any statues.

    Well, i get those two periods confused. What was the 2008 St.Louis Rams Oline — was that dystopian or post-apocalyptic?

    That’s bananas. How does this potentially impact their cap and all the FA that they intend to sign starting tomorrow. Are they going to be desperate to offload him?

    Too bad the Raiders and Ravens dont play this year. Woulda been fun 🙂

    well. if on the field, the rams defense doesn’t live up to expectations, that would reflect very poorly on shula. there’d be no one else to point the finger this time.

    maybe the rams could get another linebacker. maybe some dline depth, but they’ve done about as much as you can do. it’s up to shula to make this work.

    Seems like the front-4 tailed off as the season went along. Other than the Bear game, it seemed like they were not the wrecking-ball they had been early in the year.

    Maybe it was just nagging injuries. But i dunno.

    I remember the Roger Saffold thing. I cant think of a way the NFL can eliminate this kind of situation. If a player is coming off surgery its just a risk thats gonna be there until the medical eval is completed.

    I dont wanna see Hendrickson or Crosby in the NFC. Thats what matters here.

    Yeah, Crosby is still a Raider. Wonder if the Rams would spend their 13 pick for Maxx Crosby?

    curl will be in his age 27 season. lake in his age 27 season. kinchens will be 24. mcduffie 26 and watson 28. a young secondary that should be at or are around their prime years.

    On paper this is the best defense they’ve had in quite some time. On paper.

    I used “THEY” because I am not sure how ChatGPT identifies, and I was trying to play it safe.

    Well, you could have just asked her:

    “As an AI, I do not have a gender, gender identity, or personal pronouns. However, I am generally referred to in the singular “it” or “they” (as a gender-neutral singular) by users, as I am a digital assistant rather than a person.

    Gender-Neutrality: As a machine learning model, I do not possess gender identity, making “they/them” or “it” appropriate neutral terms for me.

    “They” as a Pronoun: In language, “they” is commonly used as a singular pronoun for individuals whose gender is unknown, or for entities that do not conform to traditional gender binaries.

    Would you like to know more about how I can adapt my persona to be more helpful in our conversations? “
