The problem is outside speed. Whittington and Mumpfield are not burners.

i do wonder if ferguson could be a downfield target. he’s got good speed combined with good size. too fast for a linebacker and too much size for a defensive back. plus a qb with the arm to find him down field.

This ends the months of uncertainty around his future and unites the future Hall of Famer with a team that desperately needs a quarterback. https://t.co/HB3179GNXp

Higby gets ignored by nonram fans.
But if he can get back in top form they could really have a top notch offense.

I loved the Higbee play last year where it’s his first game back, it’s the Jets, and he catches one in a short red zone play short of both the first down and the goal line. He rumbles for some yards but is about to be stopped–so leaps in for the TD. You could just see that he wanted it so bad after so much time off.

Andrew Whitworth@AndrewWhitworth
Felt good to be back out there with the fellas at @RamsNFL OTAs.

There’s something about being on that field—seeing the work, the bond, the grind—that hits different. Reminds you why you fell in love with this game in the first place. “Chasing something bigger than all of us—while becoming the best version of yourself along the way!”

“We then me!!”

The standard is being built every rep.

Rams are the last team Mina looks at in the vid

They emphasize Ford, which is a good point. It’s worth noting that to work on the same problem–run defense–the Rams also signed or acquired Nat Landman, Chris Paul, and Shaun Dolac.

So we’ll see if time will tell.

Mina, it should be noted, made no literary references. No Monkey’s Paw, no nuthin. Yet another sign that civilization is collapsing.

10 Observations from Rams’ second open 2025 OTA practice: Tutu Atwell capitalizing on opportunities, Emmanuel Forbes’ playmaking and Terrance Ferguson’s touchdown catch

https://www.therams.com/news/10-observations-from-rams-second-open-2025-ota-practice-tutu-atwell-capitalizing-on-opportunities-emmanuel-forbes-playmaking-and-terrance-ferguson-s-touchdown-catch

WOODLAND HILLS, Calif. – The Rams held their second OTA practice on Tuesday. Wide receiver Tutu Atwell made the most of the opportunities that went his way, cornerback Emmanuel Forbes Jr. effectively picked up where he left off in the first OTA practice, and rookie tight end Terrance Ferguson had one of the best catches of the day.

Here are some of the notes and observations from it:

1) Foundational context: As mentioned in the first 10 observations of the spring, Los Angeles mixes it up in team drills with the projected first-team offense facing the projected second-team defense, the projected second-team offense facing the projected first-team defense, and so on.

2) Atwell’s reliable hands: The fifth-year wide receiver made noise in the first OTA practice for hauling in a deep touchdown pass from quarterback Matthew Stafford, but today it was for his success on the other end of Stafford’s short and intermediate throws, catching the first four passes thrown his way.

3) Forbes continues to shine: A pass breakup early in team drills on a Jimmy Garoppolo pass intended for rookie wide receiver Mario Williams drew praise from head coach Sean McVay afterward. Between that moment and Forbes’ interception in the first OTA practice, the third-year cornerback has impressed this spring.

4) Stafford sharp: What you’d expect from a 17-year veteran quarterback, but the biggest example of this was the way he threaded the needed between multiple defenders for his first completion to Atwell. He later had a pinpoint throw to wide receiver Britain Covey in team drills.

5) Play of the day: Stafford connecting with tight end Terrance Ferguson on a back-shoulder throw in the corner of the end zone for a touchdown during the team’s competitive “mamba” period during red zone drills.

6) Play of the day, Part II: After misconnecting with running back Kyren Williams on a potential touchdown, Stafford zipped the ball through a tight window over the middle to tight end Tyler Higbee for the touchdown the very next play in that same mamba period.

7) Almost: Veteran cornerback Ahkello Witherspoon nearly came up with an interception on the very first play of team drills when Garoppolo’s pass went through wide receiver Britain Covey’s hands and almost into his.

8) Almost, Part II: Forbes was also active in the mamba period, nearly picking off a juggled pass.

9) Fiske in action: Defensive end Braden Fiske was an active participant in Tuesday’s workout.

“He’s been awesome, he’s gotten out there on the grass, taken a few reps these last few days, and he just looks like himself,” defensive coordinator Chris Shula said.

10) Another special guest in attendance: Rams legend and former left tackle Andrew Whitworth was on hand for Tuesday’s workout, taking some time to give pointers to the offensive linemen before watching practice from the sidelines.

McVay is a great coach. I’m just wondering if McVay’s burnout issues are not just about losing games. But maybe also about the fact that so many built-in dynamics almost force coaches to be full of shit.

That wasn’t so grumpy.

This doesn’t address your points, which I take as well put and right on, but I’m just adding on to the general conversation. I think Rodrigue kind of avoids a lot of the dynamic of 2022. They couldn’t achieve anything because of injuries. It was a year when nothing went right for McV, something that had never really happened to him before–and the psychology of his reaction that season was kind of telling. He basically wanted it to all come from him and then got impatient with others when that didn’t work. As a coach, he may have learned from all that, because they came out of a 1-4 start in 2024 and found their footing. He was more resilient and found ways to make the team more resilient in 2024. Early 2024 was because of OL injuries too.

My issues are not as far-ranging or searching as WV’s. There is no solution to the capitalist game inside the NFL game, except to end that capitalist game. I voted to end it, but, no one listened.
