Rams may be desperate enough to reunite with a player despite the huge price tag

4 days ago | ramblinfan.com | Bret Stuter

Is it ever too expensive to win a Super Bowl? No, never. The Los Angeles Rams are certainly content to run it back this year. At least, that is the feeling you get after the team seemed to be limited in free agency and the 2025 NFL Draft. Some changes to the Rams roster happened, but not as many as you may have expected. And there are some opportunities for rookies to earn a spot and role with the team, but not nearly as many as in years past.
How difficult will Rams find getting off to a fast start in the 2025 NFL season?

Slow starts in 2023 and 2024 have some Rams fearful about 2025. Have the Rams run into a streak of bad luck, or bad habits? The Los Angeles Rams opened slowly in the past two seasons. In 2023, the Rams were 3-6 before winning seven of their last eight games to finish with a record of 10-7. In 2024, the team opened the season with a record of 1-4 before turning things around and winning nine of the final 12 games to finish the year at 10-7 once more.
Rams might be desperate enough to bring back a name fans never expected

The Rams didn't address this need in the draft. But perhaps they are already thinking outside the box? The Los Angeles Rams are not set at quarterback. At least, that seems to be the consensus among Rams fans in chat rooms, post article comments, and even on social media. Now, don't misread that as asserting that fans are outright concerned or alarmed at the status of the Rams' quarterback room. There is no shortage of confidence in starting quarterback Matthew Stafford.
There is a mountain of fight and confidence in Rams 5-foot-10 IOL Willie Lampkin

While the Los Angeles Rams are rather secure with offensive linemen, there is always room for more. To that end, the Rams have signed undrafted interior offensive lineman Willie Lampkin. While you may think that undrafted limits Lampkin's chances with the Rams football team, you may want to rethink that conclusion. The Rams boast starting left tackle Alaric Jackson, who is an undrafted signing in the 2021 NFL Draft.
NFL Schedule leak sets the stage for Puka Nacua to honor mentor Cooper Kupp

Cooper Kupp became a rising NFL star on the international stage. Can Puka Nacua follow his mentor's footsteps in 2025? The 2025 NFL schedule release happens this week, and the Los Angeles Rams will soon learn the details of when, where, and who they face this season. But as is often the case, news of this magnitude is not locked down completely. Some bits of information get leaked before the official schedule release.

He has set out to prove the skeptics wrong, and did it every step of the wayWhen it comes to the Los Angeles Rams, the door of opportunity swings wide open for anyone who wants it badly enough. It's not necessarily a matter of choice or preference. Because this team has had to learn how to find contributors, rotational players, and even starters without the benefit of early draft choices in the annual NFL draft, the team has developed a unique survival strategy over time.
A Rams 2025 opponent learned shocking news that has major consequences for team

Win the battle. But, what about the war? The Los Angeles Rams may be drafting a future quarterback successor to veteran starting quarterback Matthew Stafford. But it is not this day. While the Rams know that they need to plan and execute a true succession plan at the quarterback position, they are satisfied that their 2024 quarterback configuration of Matthew Stafford, Jimmy Garoppolo, and Stetson Bennett will do nicely in 2025. Of course, the New Orleans Saints thought so before May 10, 2025, too.
Sean McVay now has a golden opportunity to revive a recent 49ers draft bust

5 days ago | ramblinfan.com | Bret Stuter

Should the Rams rub salt into the 49ers wound? Why not? You know they would if the tables were turned. When it comes to the Los Angeles Rams' pass rush, there are high expectations from a group that shredded both the Minnesota Vikings and Philadelphia Eagles offensive lines for 16 combined quarterback sacks. That's pretty impressive, as the Eagles' offensive line was barely nudged out by the Detroit Lions for the top offensive line ranking in 2024.

McVay: Let’s not kid ourselves, we’re not getting (anything) done football-wiseThe Los Angeles Rams coaches and players suffered great personal loss during the 2024 wildfires. Fires repeatedly sprang to life and ravaged many communities in and around the Los Angeles, California, community. It was the presence of those wildfires and the accompanying smoke that forced the Rams to host their playoff game in Arizona, and not at SoFi Stadium.
Rams may have overshot the mark at drafting Michael Hoecht's replacement

6 days ago | ramblinfan.com | Bret Stuter

The Rams needed a rotational edge rusher. They may have drafted much much more. From the moment that the Los Angeles Rams allowed DT/OLB Michael Hoecht to sign with the Buffalo Bills, the rapidly developing pass rush of Chris Shula's defense faced a fork in the road. While he was not the star edge rusher, Hoecht was a versatile and headsy workaholic who was a driving force in the locker room. He was a guy who worked harder, played smarter, and motivated everyone else on the team.
