znModeratorI dunno. As a receiver, whats his Yards per Catch number ?
w
v22.
Which btw is tied for 2nd among all NFL receivers.
So I say, why not trade him for a cornerback?
znModeratorI am also thinking of the long one on the right side of the field, where Adams gets open with a move so subtle I had to replay it to even see what he did.

znModerator…
Alongside drafting Aaron Donald, trading for Jalen Ramsey, and renting Von Miller for half a season, Les Snead’s decision to acquire Trent McDuffie will go down as one of the best moves he’s ever made….
On Monday night, the former Kansas City superstar was right at home, recording his first interception with the franchise in their win over the New York Giants. McDuffie was spectacular, displaying the balance of strength and grace that allows him to shut down the NFL’s best playmakers.
The way he’s able to walk the fine line between physical and fundamental play without drawing repeated penalties is remarkable when we consider how sticky he is with receivers who can change direction quickly. McDuffie is an eliminator, and the rest of the secondary looked so much better because of it.

The Rams have placed RB Ronnie Rivers on injured reserve.They’ve replaced his roster spot by signing S Maximus Pulley. He played 26% of the Eagles’ special teams snaps in the season opener. That’s Rivers’ main role.
But L.A. does have an opening for a third running back.

Rams poach rookie safety off Eagles’ practice squad, place RB on IR
The Rams put Ronnie Rivers on IR Wednesday and filled his spot on the 53-man roster by signing rookie S Maximus PulleyCameron DaSilva
The Los Angeles Rams made a pair of roster moves on Wednesday ahead of this weekend’s game against the Denver Broncos. They placed running back Ronnie Rivers on injured reserve due to a calf injury that he suffered on Monday night and filled his roster spot by poaching rookie safety Maximus Pulley off the Philadelphia Eagles’ practice squad.
Rivers will miss a minimum of four games, leaving the Rams with only two running backs on their 53-man roster. They do have Dean Connors and Jordan Waters on the practice squad, so it’s likely at least one of them will be promoted to the game-day roster on Sunday.
Pulley is a rookie out of Wofford who made his NFL debut on Sunday in the Eagles’ win over the Titans. He played six special teams snaps but didn’t see the field on defense.
At his pro day, he ran a 4.52 in the 40-yard dash and jumped 38.5 inches in the vertical, showing good athleticism at 5-foot-11 and 197 pounds.
Rivers has been a key contributor on special teams, so Pulley will likely help fill that void on Bubba Ventrone’s unit.

znModerator3 lessons Rams can learn from Broncos’ Week 2 win vs. Jaguars
The Broncos took down the Jaguars in their last game. Here’s what the Rams learned about Denver ahead of Sunday’s matchup.Brock Vierra
The Los Angeles Rams picked up their first win of the 2026 season this and will look to advance to 2-1 during their trip to Denver to face the Broncos. The matchup, which will be on Sunday Night Football, will contain two emerging offenses and two defenses that are finding their rhythm.
The Broncos got a head start on their film study after defeating the Jacksonville Jaguars, 20-13, on Sunday. Here are three lessons from that contest that the Rams will be considering as they design their game plan for this week.
Waddle is finding his footing
Jaylen Waddle came alive last week. The former Alabama speedster recording eight receptions for 138 yards in his home debut for Denver. Waddle was electric and opened up the rest of the field for his teammates to exploit. With another home contest against the Rams on the horizon, he’ll be looking to show off in prime time.
The Rams have to manage Waddle, along with a variety of other top pass catchers, including Courtland Sutton, Troy Franklin, Pat Bryant, and Evan Engram. This game should be a barometer for how strong the team’s secondary really is.
The Rams can win this game by winning in the red zone
First-year offensive coordinator Davis Webb is working through some of the growing pains that come with being a new playcaller. Denver has yet to put a consistent effort together; they’ve struggled to score, especially when the field shrinks. In Week 1, they only scored 10 points, and in Week 2, the Broncos went 2-for-5 in the red zone, walking away with two touchdowns, two field goals, and one interception.
Bo Nix can be baited into throwing a bad ball in the red zone. As long as the Rams score touchdowns and force difficult throws from Nix in that area of the field, Los Angeles should be in control of this one.
Denver will attack the outside with speed
The Broncos have speed at every offensive skill position, and they will hurt the Rams if Los Angeles plays 7 yards off the line of scrimmage. Waddle is already a problem, especially as he can hit the quick out with ease. If R.J. Harvey is healthy, he’ll play into that.
Expect everything from Denver. QB designed runs, outside runs, screens, reverses, trick plays, the works. The Broncos will test the Rams’ corners to see if they want to play close to the line of scrimmage and if they’re willing to make tackles.
If they’re successful, Denver will use various faints to the outside, regardless of level, to attack inside. To put it simply, Denver’s top offensive asset is speed, and the only way they can use it effectively is to get the ball away from Aaron Donald as quickly as possible.

znModeratorRams Wire@TheRamsWire
No QB has more games with 4-plus TD passes than Matthew Stafford since 2021
znModeratoron Adams. There were three plays that he made that weren’t just “good,” but which were funking great. One was the second? touchdown pass he caught? Both Stafford’s throw and his catch were just ridiculous. But he caught a few passes that no human being can catch during the game. This guy, Adams, is not just a random addition to a team. He is legend.
That was a great play. It looked like they were just playing catch against open air. Pretty much every catch was great in one fashion or another. I am also thinking of the long one on the right side of the field, where Adams gets open with a move so subtle I had to replay it to even see what he did.
This play. He basically gets the DB to lose his balance by pivoting on him, but it’s not just some garish big obvious move, it’s a subtle shift of a couple of inches from the fake–where Adams gets the DB to commit to covering outside toward the sideline–to the take off. All taking place in a split second.



Intentional route running + no indicators = separation.
Davante Adams just understands leverage and route pacing at an elite level.
Young WR’s pay attention. You don’t need to make an extraordinary move to get open. Subtle manipulation works.☝🏾 pic.twitter.com/DXXjnCkiuj

znModeratorfrom Albert Breer, https://www.si.com/nfl/albert-breer-notes-bears-investment-qb-room-smart-move#inline-text-18
Los Angeles Rams
The Rams’ deployment of the running back spot has been interesting the past couple of weeks, with the team moving closer to a true platoon between Kyren Williams and Blake Corum. Williams played 39 offensive snaps in Week 1 and 34 in Week 2, and had 14 touches each week. Corum played 14 snaps against the 49ers and doubled it in the Giants game, with 10 touches in the first game and 13 in the second game.
The production has been relatively even. Williams has 175 yards on 28 touches, and Corum has 146 yards on 23 touches. Corum’s average per touch is marginally higher—6.35 to 6.25.
But it’s pretty clear that the Rams are giving Corum a bigger role in the offense, and he earned it with a really strong camp. It’ll be interesting to see how it goes from here, too, though if you’d consider this a problem, it’s a really good one to have.
