znModeratorMcVay said he always felt like he had to call the perfect play every down because Goff couldn’t make adjustments off script. It was more about QB experience than attitude. McVay never questioned Goff’s willingness to do what was asked of him, just his ability to do it.
I don’t think that was the issue. I thought that the issue was McV getting openly, publicly critical of Goff in the worst ways–and I don’t mean constructive criticism, I mean dismissive, angry stuff. On the sidelines, in front of the team, and so on. I think he got impatient with Goff’s development. One former Rams offensive coach said that McV knew how to tear Goff down, not how to build him back up. It became a confidence issue for Goff. In Detroit, he has a rapport with his coordinator and they communicate. McVay himself said that communication was an issue with Goff. Natually McV respects the much more veteran Stafford so those issues don’t come up.
I don’t know what it is with Akers. Now sure what that story is yet. So I don’t have any speculations about it.

znModeratorI wouldn’t be at all surprised if Akers revives his career a bit with the Vikes and is productive there.

znModeratorYesterday @DMRussini shed some light on the Cam Akers situation. Why wasn't it a fit with the Rams?
"The personality in the locker room isn't in sync with what they expect from their players."
Goes back to McVay looking for the right guys. "What we're looking for in a Ram". pic.twitter.com/dw53uPmTtW

znModeratorMcVay maybe is not a great psychologist when it comes to managing individuals,
And even that just might have been a young qb. Other positions, he doesn’t show the same kinds of frustrations he did before with the qb. Except maybe Akers? But who knows on that.
znModeratorAlready posted the shorter version of this. This is the longer version, which goes on into the discussion for another couple of minutes, though it includes “the FG” that busted the betting points.
znModeratorWatch Joe Noteboom get to the second level and get to Fred Warner. Rams really missed him in the second half.
Nice work from Jackson and Avila as well. pic.twitter.com/RnW8qjl6hI

znModeratorSteve Avila can MOVE!
That man is 330-pounds and in a full out sprint to get to his block at the second level!
Nice job by Noteboom as well here. pic.twitter.com/JUgmMOlgp8

znModeratorJourdan Rodrigue@JourdanRodrigueAkers “and a conditional seventh round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft to the Minnesota Vikings in exchange for a conditional sixth round pick in 2026” per team press release confirming the trade.
znModeratorCome for the Kyren Williams touchdown. Stay for the Steve Avila celebration. Avila's celebration on Williams' touchdown is EVERYTHING.
Nice play design. Avila moves really well in space. Finds his block at the second level which allows Williams to get in the end zone. pic.twitter.com/mLCMs6aO6y

znModeratorLove the way Steve Avila competes.
Gets bull-rushed back into the pocket by Javon Kinlaw. Recovers nicely and moves Kinlaw around Stafford.
Nice rep by Coleman Shelton as well.
Stafford's pocket movement in this game was next level. pic.twitter.com/7a9vh908Sw

znModeratorThe Stafford–>Nacua throw last week got a lot of buzz.
This one to Atwell is also very impressive. Far hash to far sideline throw. Good pocket movement.
Fantastic catch by Atwell who comes down with the ball despite Deommodore Lenoir draped over him. pic.twitter.com/mKZGiPSR6Y

znModeratorReally think this play from Steve Avila and Alaric Jackson deserves a lot of recognition.
This shows a comfort level and trust. Nice stunt by SF as Bosa begins outside and then comes inside. Avila recognizes this, passes his guy off to Jackson, and comes off to block Bosa. pic.twitter.com/O7juUkCjV3

znModeratorJ.B. Long@JB_LongIf you’ve been impressed with the Rams through two weeks, just wait until they get a takeaway on defense or throw a touchdown to a receiver or tight end.
znModeratorCameron DaSilva@camdasilvaPuka Nacua and Kobie Turner were both among PFF’s highest-graded rookies in Week 2.Blaine Grisak @bgrisakTSTAn underrated performance for the Rams on Sunday was Kobie Turner. Turner currently has the 9th-best run defense grade via PFF. Second-highest graded rookie defensive lineman behind only Jalen Carter. Put together a really solid performance against the 49ers..
I was impressed w/ rookie DT Kobie Turner vs. the 49ers
Quite the butt-kicker for a 289-pound DT. Some shades of Grady Jarrett to his game pic.twitter.com/vbE1NrJkx4
