For a guy as good at shaking defenders as he is, KC Concepcion seems to have no issues in traffic when it converges. One of the things that sets him apart from your standard speed guys. pic.twitter.com/hoHJ7qmrEm

This is why you get roughing the passer for breathing on QBs these days.

Yeah, it's weak, but we lived the alternative. https://t.co/CpGwkM2bNi

The Rams made their moves… but are they REALLY set? @erincoscarelli and I break down the entire depth chart—from the QB question behind Stafford to WR depth, O-line concerns, and sneaky roster battles

If this team is going all-in…what’s still missing?

Vandalizes defensive seams with impunity

I have to wonder what Sadiq could have done to the Roman Empire.

IMO? He would have Visigothized it.

Yeah, Kenyon Sadiq would be exciting.

This guy has Vernon Davis as the comp.

Sadiq has a lot of evaluators…oh…shaking their heads just a bit.

from https://www.nfl.com/prospects/kenyon-sadiq/32005341-4448-2340-2c14-326d6464aafc

Overview

A versatile tight end with a shredded physique and alluring potential as a volume target, Sadiq’s route tree will be full of branches. His athleticism and break quickness should allow him to uncover against man coverage on all three levels. He’s talented after the catch, with the ability to make things easier for play-callers and quarterbacks looking to move the sticks. He has the body control and hand strength to win contested catches but will occasionally allow balls to hit the ground on lower-difficulty plays. He’s adequate as a blocker, giving good effort in-line and locating and landing on linebackers as a move blocker. Teams looking to diversify their passing game options with a talented pass-catching tight end could make Sadiq a priority.

Strengths

Built like a bodyguard with a compact, well-defined frame.
Capable of running a robust route tree.
Gets in and out of breaks with good snap and separation.
Vandalizes defensive seams with impunity against man coverage.
Survives collisions with catches thanks to his hand strength.
Shows off agility and acceleration after the catch.
Fits up run blocks with proper positioning and base width.
Grips and presses forward with moving feet to stay connected.

Weaknesses

Shows some drift in his feet on zone-beater routes.
Inconsistent catch focus on throws above his numbers.
Average acceleration and pop into contact as a lead blocker.
Defensive ends will play across his face when he’s based up.
Needs to avoid leaning as a point-of-attack blocker.

Me: Different sites measure pressure rate differently.

Something changed. Its subtle, but her jabs at the Rams…oh…just have a teeny-tiny ‘edge’ to them now. Started noticing it after the first Seattle game. Around then.

Still enjoy her analysis. I dont really care about the ‘mina edge’ nowadays. But its there.

Could there be strains in the Rams/Mina relationship? … ie. referring to her doing preseason games.

Rosenthal mentions something i hadnt heard. Dunno what the source was, but maybe they floated a Davante Adams trade if an AJ Brown deal had been made.

That’s come up and then died down.

On Adams:

from https://heavy.com/sports/nfl/los-angeles-rams/davante-adams-trade-rumor-update-brown-waddle/

“No [the Rams are not trading Davante Adams]. They just paid him a $6 million roster bonus on Sunday,” Schefter said on “The Pat McAfee Show” on March 17. “You’re not paying the guy a $6 million bonus and then moving the guy the next day. So, that’s not happening anytime soon.”

On Brown, from the most recent “Rams tweets” thread:

….

from https://theramswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/rams/2026/03/16/rams-aj-brown-trade-rumor-update/89179523007/?taid=69b8141c75f02f0001613e77&utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_medium=trueanthem&utm_source=twitter

On Monday morning, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport shared an update on Brown’s future and which teams might be interested in him, including the Rams. Rapoport said the top two teams that pursued Brown were the Rams and Patriots, but Los Angeles has since bowed out of the race.

“The Rams were one, and they looked into it deeply. Ultimately, decided it was not for them. And they are essentially, as far as I can tell, out on the situation,” Rapoport said.

….

The Rams are out on A.J. Brown, and according to Mike Florio, they got "scared off" by some of the "preliminary medical research." https://t.co/MLeNNanBb0

Such an overblown and wrong narrative about this years draft class. Lack of QBs and blue chip talent at the top doesn’t mean a bad draft. There’s actually lots of depth and starters to be found at WR, C, EDGE, LB, CB and S.

Los Angeles Rams: WR, OT, LB

The Rams boast perhaps the fewest weaknesses of any NFL team, particularly after their spending spree in the secondary. Beyond Puka Nacua and Davante Adams, though, their next-highest yardage total from a wide receiver in 2025 came from Xavier Smith, who racked up just 303 yards. Adams is entering the final season of a two-year contract, so the Rams may look to the future at the position early in the draft.

Projected right tackle Warren McClendon Jr. (78.7 PFF overall grade in 2025) is also entering the final year of his rookie deal, so perhaps Los Angeles will look to develop new talent there. Additional linebacker depth could also be a need, depending on how the team feels about its options behind Nate Landman and Omar Speights.

What insight. None of us have thought of any of this before.

I want to go to NFL Expert School. I’m tired of just being a ho-hum fan.

Well, thats ridiculous. I’m a huge Macdonald fan, but he didnt ‘outclass’ McVay in any of the three games this year. Two great coaches, three great games.

It’s interesting to know that putting up 1060 yards and 64 points in 2 games on the league’s 1st ranked defense in terms of points allowed, is being outclassed.

I can’t wait until they’re rated evenly, to see what the McVay Rams look like against them at that point.

The Rams almost landed … but SHOULD they have? 🤔
