The Rams signed a cornerback:Tre Brown, who has started 13 games for the Seahawks and was a 4th-round pick back in 2021.

Yes my hopes are modest too.
15-17 point win. That’s all.
September 16, 2025 at 12:57 pm in reply to: setting up “E-gals” game–roster stuff, injuries, comments, broadcast map #158051znModeratorRams are 2-0 against 2 0-2 teams.
Eagles are 2-0 against 2 teams that are 1-3 combined.
So we’ll see what’s what with both teams.
Right now the Eagles are 29th in offensive yard, 16th in offensive points, 9th in defensive yards, 12th in defensive points, and in terms of defensive stats are tied for 1st in TDs allowed but 25th in yards per attempt rushing.
The Rams are 7th in offensive yards, 11th in offensive points, 4th in defensive yards, 1st in defensive points, and in terms of defensive stats are tied for 1st in TDs allowed but 11th in yards per attempt rushing.
But then Phil. played Dallas and KC while the Rams played the Texans and Titans.
znModeratorThere aren't many WRs who run a simple in-breaker with this kind of pace variation to set it up.
It's also why there aren't many WRs like Davante Adams, but there should be more who get one step closer than they were yesterday. #RamsHouse pic.twitter.com/fQlhBRpS59

znModeratorWhy do I count the steps a ball carrier needs to transition from a perimeter runway to a downhill runway?
See Puka Nacua below
With force defenders coming downhill to cut off runners, the ball carry must be fast enough to avoid backside pursuit but cut inside the force man. pic.twitter.com/ipQT2nRjmK

Matthew Stafford through two games:71% completions
8.8 yards per attempt
107.1 ratingTiny sample, but these would be career highs.
But could this be the most effective version of him yet, given the passing attack he’s operating?

since joining the rams as hc in 2017, mcvay is .500 or better against 24 teams and has a losing record against just 7.one of those tough-out teams is eagles, he’s just 1-5 against them, with the only win coming in 2020, a 37-19 road trouncing in philly… beat the eagles!

Sunday marked Stafford’s 36th game with at least 240 passing yards and one passing TD since joining the Rams (2021). Only Patrick Mahomes has more such games over that span (45 times). He also passed Bob Waterfield (97) and moved to 7th in franchise history in passing TDs.Rams Wire@TheRamsWire

Per Sean McVay:Ahkello Witherspoon appears not to need surgery
Steve Avila is trending towards returning this week
Braden Fiske had a twisted oblique that limited his snaps
Jordan Whittington has a sore groin
Colby Parkinson is working towards his return

Braden Fiske tweaked his oblique during warmups in Nashville, which led to his decreased snap count. Sean McVay said the Rams will monitor that injury this week.September 15, 2025 at 5:08 pm in reply to: setting up “E-gals” game–roster stuff, injuries, comments, broadcast map #158034znModeratorRams Bros.@RamsBrothers
Yikes, Ahkello has a 12-week recovery timeline for his broken clavicle. Rams do have ~$12.5M in cap space if they’re interested in making a trade/taking on a contract.Nate Atkins@NateAtkins_
Ahkello Witherspoon shouldn’t need surgery to fix his broken clavicle, per Sean McVay.The Rams placed their top outside cornerback on Injured Reserve today.
Stu Jackson@StuJRams
Asked Sean McVay about internal vs. external options filling the void with Witherspoon on IR, and he said the Rams will “bring somebody in” but didn’t elaborate further.In addition to not expecting surgery being needed, McVay indicated CB Ahkello Witherspoon’s broken clavicle is not season-ending, but that return would be later in the year.
September 15, 2025 at 3:32 pm in reply to: Titans game — plays, tweets, analysis, highlights #158033znModeratorNever had a duo like Nacua and Adams?
I dunno. Kupp and OBJ were pretty good. Kupp and Robert Woods were pretty good.
w
vPretty sure Bruce and Holt surpass them as well.
It was receiving duos Stafford has played with.
You know on this board we frown on incorrect information. And this one is almost as bad as when you denied my assertion that Erik Dikcerson was the best TE the Rams ever had. What other TE ever got 2000 yards?
Anyway. Atkins doesn’t know about Kupp and OBJ. He’s a newbie.
September 15, 2025 at 2:51 pm in reply to: The Stafford thread…update 12/31: huge S.I. article #158031znModeratorStafford had a near-perfect passer rating in the second half (152.7)
After throwing an interception during the final minute of the first half, Stafford went back to the sideline and slammed his helmet on the ground. But then he thought to himself, “What’s the one thing I can do? I touch it every play. Let me go make up for it right now,” Stafford said postgame, and that’s exactly what he did.
In the second half, Stafford completed 14 of his 17 pass attempts for 191 yards and two touchdowns. His 152.7 passer rating in the second half was the third-best of the week, and was 5.6 points away from perfection. It was better than any second-half passer rating Stafford had last season and secured 10.8 expected points added to the Rams’ score, meaning his second-half performance raised the Rams’ expected score by nearly 11 points, via nflverse data.

znModeratorThere appears to be a new WR3
Tutu Atwell got a $10 million fully guaranteed contract as a free agent this year but that did nothing to ensure he’d have a bigger role on offense, apparently. Jordan Whittington played five more snaps than Atwell in Week 1, which we believed to be because of Puka Nacua’s injury.
However, on Sunday against the Titans, the gap between Whittington and Atwell widened. Whittington played 39 snaps compared to Atwell’s 26, which suggests Whittington has overtaken Atwell as the No. 3 receiver. They’ll both continue to play meaningful snaps but Atwell’s stock is slipping after catching just one pass for 4 yards in the first two games combined.
