Puka Nacua has had a significant physical and mental workload since OTAs.
I asked OC Mike LaFleur today, how can a coach tell when a young WR really gets “it”?
“When they break the huddle. There’s a lot of things that are said in that huddle, for a rookie receiver, that theyhave never experienced in their life … He’s just grown every single day, every single week. You can tell the comfort he has, breaking that huddle. Matthew (Stafford) is like poetry in that huddle, too. It’s easy to follow as any quarterback I’ve been around. So kudos to him
for that. (Nacua) is mature for his age, for sure. … You can see it in the look in their eyes. Every guy is gonna be a little bit different … It’s fun watching how every individual does it. Some, when the first parts of the play call come in, they’re pointing to what
direction they have to break to go to the huddle. You can almost kind of see them playing the play out with their hands, stuff like that. For Puka, he just breaks it with confidence. And then he goes.”

Nacua, Shelton, Yeast, Jones all listed as questionable on Rams injury report but sounds like all are expected to play on Sunday.

Sean McVay with a small status update on WR Cooper Kupp today, after
LATimesklein question about his IR timeline: “We’re hopeful about that. I want to be careful what (to say) but the reason we put him on IR was so that you know that if it’s gonna be those 4 weeks that he’s
.
mandated (to) miss, we can take him off the IR and be available that fifth week. That was the reason that we made that decision that we did last week, just because you don’t know what’s gonna come up. It doesn’t put a time table on rushing him back. … I want to be careful

(not) to put the cart before the horse, so they say, but I’m hopeful about that.”znModeratorThere's approximately a 200% chance that Kyle Shanahan tests Michael Hoecht throughout the game on his edge discipline.

znModeratorIn the spring, Byron Young was just trying to find his way as a rookie. But as he began to understand how much he would be counted on, he stepped up his preparation to meet those expectations.

“He has a motor, and it’s insane,” said Rams rookie offensive lineman Steve Avila, when asked what it’s like going against Young in practice. “He’s a very, very, very quick and hybrid linebacker. He’s very, very quick. He’s come around on a couple of twists sometimes, and honestly, if you blink universal. That’s exactly how it is.”
Playing alongside defensive tackle Aaron Donald has been an added benefit to Young’s development. Young said that Donald has taught him a lot since he’s been with the Rams and willingly provided tips and advice.
“Every time I rush, he just telling me I gotta sell it better, or I gotta do this and that, different things just to improve my game,” Young said.
znModeratorStu Jackson@StuJRamsRams OC Mike LaFleur on RB Kyren Williams: “Another guy that’s just super smart. … There’s hearing it, but then actually seeing it, and he’s a guy that once you tell him once, once he gets one of those reps, he’s got that stuff locked in.”.More LaFleur on RB Kyren Williams: “There’s really nothing he can’t do in terms of protection, pass game, run game. So I believe he’s just getting started with where he’s at.”.“There’s a lot of things that are said in that huddle for a rookie receiver that they’ve never experienced. … He’s just grown every single day, every single week, and you can tell the comfort he has breaking that huddle.”znModeratorSam Monson@PFF_SamEagles averaged 2.7 yards BEFORE contact vs Minnesota last night.

Lauren Boebert was kicked out of the theater because she was smoking & the pregnant woman behind her asked her to stop. Boebert refused & then her BF offered to buy the pregnant woman an alcoholic drink.
This must have been a day she didn't have to pretend to care about babies.

No you’re thinking of Robert E. Stonewall.
znModeratorThe #Rams have placed rookie QB Stetson Bennett on the reserve/NFI list, taking him off the active roster
Was Bennett or Rypien the backup to Stafford?
Rypien was the back-up in Seattle.
The Rams elevated Brett Rypien from the practice squad to serve as their backup quarterback in Week One and they’ll make the arrangement more permanent this week. Tom Pelissero of NFL Media reports that the Rams will sign Rypien to their 53-man roster ahead of Sunday’s game against the 49ers.40 mins agoRams to sign Brett Rypien to 53-man roster – NBC Sports
