znModeratorNate Tice noticed the Rams quick snap count on third down:
I had a little moment of annoyance with them. They were laughing at how the Rams handled the Tampa D. At one point, they mention Whittington’s catch and run, where JW eludes a couple of would-tacklers and gets a few extra yards on what was at first just a 6 or 8 yard catch. They laughed at the Tampa D for not being able to tackle who they called “Jordan ordinary Whittington,” as in he’s just this JAG so what’s with missing a few tackles on him.
Well. Whittington was renowned at Texas for his run after the catch ability. I’ve seen enough plays with him since last year when they drafted him to know that that ability of his translates to the pros. In fact I think he has been under-used this year.
This is a picky little detail, but I thought they were being a little smug and dismissive about that.
Which, I know, is a first world problem. So here are a couple of analysts praising my team after a big win, and I am annoyed by one toss-off remark they make about what is to them just an obscure depth player.
But I stand by it. 😎

No one is playing better at QB than Matthew Stafford. He should be on the top of every NFL MVP list. Watching him play is like poetry in motion. You’d be hard pressed to find anyone with better arm talent at the age of 37.Mike Golic Jr@mikegolicjr

I’m gonna be straight up with you guys, this may be the best red zone defense I have ever seen on the rams… like ever.znModeratorJared Verse sells upfield with speed, then on second step plants and drives into Wirfs and by getting his hands INSIDE has leverage to drive him back.

Bucs QBs threw 17 incompletions tonight10 of them were either deflected or intercepted by Rams defenders
…
Secondary has become a strength. Even without Quentin Lake, the Rams’ secondary locked down the Buccaneers. Emmanuel Forbes Jr. broke up five passes, Cobie Durant knocked away a touchdown pass and scored his own touchdown on a pick-six in the first quarter and just about every player in the secondary is a sure tackler in the open field.
With Lake and Ahkello Witherspoon both expected to return at some point this season, the Rams’ secondary is only going to get better as the year goes on. Even right now, Emmanuel Forbes Jr. and Durant both look like No. 1 cornerbacks, with Darious Williams also playing well.

70% of the Earth’s surface is covered by water, the other 30% is covered by Landman.znModeratorfrom the wiki
Nathan Landman (born 19 November 1998) is a Zimbabwean-American professional football linebacker for the Los Angeles Rams of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the Colorado Buffaloes.[1][2]
Early life
Landman was born on 19 November 1998, in Harare, Zimbabwe, where his father, Shaun, was playing rugby union. When his family moved to the United States, they settled in Danville, California. He became a U.S. citizen during his second year of college.[3]He attended Monte Vista High School and played baseball, rugby union and football.[4] Landman played wide receiver as well as linebacker earning accolades in both positions. Over his four varsity years Landman amassed over 1,000 yards receiving and made over 160 tackles, 15 sacks and 4 interceptions. In his senior year Landman led Monte Vista in a state playoff run. In his final season Landman was the East Bay Athletic League MVP. He was awarded All-NorCal High School Football Team by MaxPreps and East Bay Defensive Player of the Year by the San Jose Times. He was named to all district and state teams for his final two seasons.
Landman was ranked as the 5th best linebacker and 57th best player in California by ESPN. Scout.com had Landman as high as 2nd and 33rd.[5][6][7]
College
Landman had offers from multiple major Division I programs, including Arizona, Boise State, Colorado State, Hawaii, Nevada, Oregon State, Washington State, and Wyoming.[8] Landman committed to Colorado on 20 July 2016.[9]
College career
Landman was given significant playing time as a true freshman, playing mostly special teams but also on defense. In his college debut against Texas State, Landman recorded one tackle for a loss. Later that year against Utah, Landman had six tackles and a forced fumble in a starting role.[10] Landman came into the 2018 Colorado football season as a starter; in the first game, he made a career-high 16 tackles[11] and had an interception against rival Colorado State.[12] Landman continued with 13 tackles and another interception against Nebraska on national television.[13]Landman finished the season with 104 total tackles (64 solo), four sacks, and two interceptions. In early 2019, Landman received an All-Pac-12 Conference from the coaches and media.[14][15][16][17]
Professional career
Atlanta Falcons
Landman signed with the Atlanta Falcons as an undrafted free agent on 2 May 2022.[20] He made the Falcons’ initial 53-man roster out of training camp. He was released on 10 December 2022, and re-signed to the practice squad.[21] As a rookie, he appeared in seven games in the 2022 season.[22] He signed a reserve/future contract on 9 January 2023.[23] In the 2023 season, he appeared in 16 games and made 14 starts. He finished with two sacks, 110 total tackles (66 solo), one interception, three passes defended, and three forced fumbles.[24]On 16 September 2024, Landman was placed on injured reserve.[25] On October 12, 2024, Landman came off injured reserve and was activated to the 53-man roster. [26]
Los Angeles Rams
On March 18, 2025, Landman signed a one-year deal with the Los Angeles Rams. [27] He was named a starting inside linebacker to begin the season. In Week 1 against the Houston Texans, he forced a fumble, had 10 tackles, and earned NFC Defensive Player of the Week honors.[28][29]znModeratorznModeratorSpeak of the devil. I was just saying this.
…
The Rams were smart to do this. Pointed out this week that as much dime defense as they play (the most in the NFL by far), their one linebacker on the field in all those packages had better have his stuff together. Landman is a dude. https://t.co/OiUdopmgpj pic.twitter.com/j22mxVPc2L

znModeratorWhy Landman and not Jones?
Theory:
1. Jones is good but he’s not as effective as Landman. Landman is one of the reasons the Rams can play dime defenses a lot while also stopping the run. So he has schematic value, not just individual player value–he allows you to scheme in things like the Rams run-stoppin dime defense.
2. Jones does not quite fit the Rams model of team leader. I am not judging that, just noting it. Landman seems more “Rams corporate” in his leadership style, while Jones was more rough-edged and outspokenly contentious.
Jones was very WWE. Landman is more like Woody from “Toy Story.” While also being a honed-in field assassin with some range in his skills.
