Procrastinating is never a good idea, especially when it involves giving a quarterback a long-term contract. That’s why the Los Angeles Rams shouldn’t waste their time in handing Jared Goff an extension. The quarterback market in the NFL continues to skyrocket, with Russell Wilson and Carson Wentz receiving lucrative deals this offseason. As for Wilson, […]

Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley is one of the best in the NFL at his position. No one’s really going to deny that. However, there’s been a lot of talk about whether he is the pinnacle of the running back group in the League. This mainly stems from his injury concerns; that’s the […]

Back in February, the Los Angeles Rams fell to the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl by a score of 13-3 in a surprisingly anemic offensive performance. Now, with the 2020 campaign getting closer and closer, Rams running back Todd Gurley has put whatever happened this past season behind him, and that means he […]

Versatility is starting to become a prerequisite for safeties who are coming into the NFL. That’s why the Los Angeles Rams fell in love with Taylor Rapp out of Washington during the draft process.

New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton thinks the team is ready to move forward. The Saints, of course, are coming off one of the most devastating losses in recent sports history.

The left knee of Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley has been a hot topic of discussion since December. Gurley was knocked out of the final two games of the regular season due to a knee injury, but he returned in the Divisional Round of the playoffs and gashed the Dallas Cowboys for 115 […]

When Todd Gurley found out neither Roger Saffold or John Sullivan would be returning to the Los Angeles Rams’ offensive line this year, it hit him kind of hard. The Rams opted not to bring back either offensive lineman this year, allowing Saffold to sign with the Titans in free agency and declining Sullivan’s option […]

Any discussion about the Los Angeles Rams’ 2019 outlook starts with a question about Todd Gurley’s knee.

In just a couple of seasons after being drafted in the third round of the 2017 NFL Draft by the Los Angeles Rams, Cooper Kupp has become a focal point of Sean McVay’s offense. Kupp was on his way to a breakout season in 2018 before tearing his ACL. Before tearing his ACL in Week […]

On a Los Angeles Rams team that has weapons like Brandin Cooks and Cooper Kupp, Robert Woods is likely the most important receiver on the Rams.

The Los Angeles Rams have found relative success in getting into the title picture recently. After years of underperforming and underutilizing talent, they’ve found their groove with the current regime and players.

Having two members of the same family become professional athletes is pretty rare, but to have them both play for the same team at the same time is perhaps even more extraordinary. For Cooper Kupp and younger brother Ketner, however, that’s precisely what happened, and according to Cooper, life is extremely good right now. Speaking […]

The most important position for any team in the NFL is the quarterback position. As it stands now, we have some of the best play from under center than we’ve ever seen. Troll accounts on Twitter would probably dispute that, but the numbers don’t lie. Teams are incapable of winning with sub-par play from their […]

The Los Angeles Rams took yet another step forward in 2018 under Sean McVay. After making the playoffs in 2017, the Rams found themselves in the Super Bowl last season.

We’re in the middle of the NFL’s dead period, that awkward time on the league calendar between minicamps and training camp.

The Los Angeles Rams have Super Bowl aspirations going into the 2019 NFL season.

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay is one of the brightest coaches in the NFL, but even the league’s best coaches need some assistance. For McVay, that comes from defensive coordinator Wade Phillips, an elder statesman who has been around the game long enough to know that it’s, well, just a game: “That’s something […]

Los Angeles Rams offensive lineman Aaron Neary has been suspended for the first four games of the 2019 season for violating the NFL’s policy on substances of abuse, the league announced on Friday. Neary’s suspension likely stems from him being arrested in February on suspicion of driving under the influence. According to USA Today, local […]

Aaron Donald has taken the league by storm, and his nearly unprecedented success certainly didn’t catch former Rams teammate Chris Long by surprise.

Los Angeles Rams defensive lineman Aaron Donald is well on his way to the Hall of Fame as long as he stays healthy. It didn’t take Chris Long to figure out that out. Long was in his seventh year with the Rams when they drafted Donald in 2014 and he knew from the first year […]

For a quarterback who just threw for 4,688 yards and 32 touchdowns while leading his team to the Super Bowl, Jared Goff certainly catches a lot of flak, as some questioned this offseason whether or not he is the Los Angeles Rams’ quarterback of the future. Still, even though people may be a bit hard […]

The Los Angeles Rams had a fantastic 2018 campaign in Sean McVay’s second season as head coach. Notably, this offseason, the Rams added veterans like Clay Matthews and Eric Weddle to their roster.

The NFL is filled with plenty of transcendent talent among all 32 teams that the league has to offer. Some players are given more recognition than others—with some becoming “underrated”. Players like Patrick Mahomes, Tom Brady, and Aaron Rodgers are at the forefront of the quarterbacks that everyone mentions as “the best”—and deservedly so. Although, […]

Domata Peko isn’t ready to hang up his cleats. TMZ Sports recently caught up with the free agent defensive lineman, and Peko revealed he wants to keep playing. Peko said he feels like he still has a couple of years left in him, and that he’d like to play in Los Angeles since he’s a […]

We finally have a little more clarity on the status of Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley.

The Rams have been relatively quiet this offseason, but that could change if (when) they decide to start extending the multitude of players that will be in line for new contracts. Jared Goff, Marcus Peters, and Greg Zuerlein are among the first that come to mind. Sean McVay will likely get a raise soon, too. […]
