znModeratorfrom https://theramswire.usatoday.com/2021/07/01/rams-sean-mcvay-quarterback-leader-matthew-stafford/
On the latest episode of the “Flying Coach” podcast with Peter Schrager, Rams coach Sean McVay shared what he looks for in a quarterback and what makes a great one.
…
“If you said, when do the really rare quarterbacks express themselves especially nowadays? It might be in the framework of the pocket when things go outside the rhythm of the play. Tom [Brady] does it differently than Patrick Mahomes and Aaron Rodgers are doing it, but all of which is beautiful and makes them elite at what they do,” McVay said. “You see some of the things and I’ve talked a lot about the excitement with Stafford. That’s one of the things I’m excited about him is, when it breaks down, getting through progressions, being able to move and manipulate, keep your eyes down the field.”
znModeratorPer source, the Rams new uniform for 2021 will be white with blue numbers, and “a little bit of yellow” (presumably the shoulders). Did not receive information on pants, but assuming since we already have yellow/blue pants, they will probably be white as well. #rams #uniforms

June 30, 2021 at 4:20 pm in reply to: Andrew Whitworth: It feels like this year will probably be the end #130675znModeratorI saw the article, & got too excited. Then an hourlater, I clicked in your post, & saw it was posted earlier.
No don’t worry about that. If I post something in a Rams tweets thread, it’s fair game for a poster to decide naw I want that to be its own thread. I then just delete or move the bit I put in the tweets thread.
The issue with repeating is if someone already started a whole THREAD dedicated to the article and than someone just starts another identical thread. But in this case no one did that. Never be shy about posting new threads out of material that previously just showed up as bits in a “Rams tweets” thread. As I said that’s fair game.

Why? I can delete whatever it is, if there’s something.

Darious Williams–Ankle flexion and short range explosion
Yeah and, as good as Williams is, in most scenarios he’s still going to be manned up vs. opponents’ WR2. Great anticipation, athleticism (can get higher than about anyone his height), etc.
Without all the restructuring that’s already been done maybe they’d be able to make a play for keeping him. But anything north of $8M/year seems impossible and I think $15M+ is very possible for him especially with the cap rising again. Just get the best you can from him this year, wish him well and take the 2023 3rd round comp.

znModerator2021 NFL offseason trade rankings: Rams’ push for Matthew Stafford headlines most impactful deals in offseason
Jared Dubin
The Rams do have a Super Bowl-ready roster, and now they have a quarterback with enough talent to lead it. They had to pay dearly to pick up Stafford while also dumping Jared Goff’s contract, and because they have such a star-laden team, that lack of depth could hurt them in future years. Their chance to win is right now. This year and next. That’s why the deal for Stafford was the most important swap this offseason.

from PFF, Ranking all 32 NFL defensive line units ahead of the 2021 season: https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-ranking-all-32-nfl-defensive-line-units-entering-2021-season
.4. LOS ANGELES RAMS
The Rams don’t have the same quality of depth as the other top-five defensive lines in these rankings. But does it matter when they boast the single most disruptive force in the NFL? Aaron Donald’s 456 pressures over the past five seasons are 86 more than any other defender despite the fact that he saw a consistent barrage of double and triple teams. The attention he commands frees up other players to enjoy career years, as Dante Fowler Jr. and Leonard Floyd can attest. Los Angeles will have to replace Michael Brockers, whose 5,658 regular-season snaps since joining the Rams in 2012 rank ninth among all players at the position.

Earlier this month, NFL.com contributing columnist Adam Schein compiled his annual league bandwagons to jump on. Among his nine this year: Rams second-year running back Cam Akers.
“I am very high on the Rams this year, believing they will represent the NFC in the L.A. Super Bowl,” Schein wrote as part of his analysis. “Akers is a huge part of that. He became the guy at running back down the stretch last season, and it changed the Rams’ offense.”

#1 Los Angeles Rams
Matthew Stafford and Sean McVay
It’s Super Bowl or bust for the Rams after they shipped out Jared Goff as part of a deal with the Lions for Stafford. With Goff’s 42-20 record (and a Super Bowl appearance) in four seasons under McVay representing the bar, the pressure is squarely on the shoulders of Stafford and McVay to capture a Lombardi Trophy. Considering the 13th-year pro has zero playoff wins and only four winning seasons on his resume, the Rams’ quarterback shuffle is a roll of the dice that could backfire on a team looking to make good on its current competitive window.
