Back then the Rams were the only team in LA, so I imagine the fan support was strong. Really curious what it was like being a fan during that time.

Hopefully this worked...Sean McVay's AI interpretation of Stafford's injury.

So, my daughter Grace, some of you met her at the Tampa game some years back (We still talk about those ribs) works for TSA and was heading into work at 3:20 am and was hit by a drunk driver. Car’s totaled, but thank God she’s mostly okay. She’s got a fractured left clavicle that will require surgery and had 6 stitches on a deep cut on her right hand.

We’ve got it all locked down, physical, emotional, spiritual and financial support, but since some of y’all met her, figured I’d let you know.



This was her at the game. I gave her the hat and she still has it.

I'll call Tutu Atwell by his first name instead of Chatarius.

See, there might actually be a god!

This deserves its own thread.

Doubles second place in pga points on the year. A 40%ish lead over second in money. And then there's this.

Can we actually get McVay to implement this. . . I know it was super random and I would also still love to see the dudes get an actual game ball.

But there was something special about this, in my eyes, like no matter what we are celebrating this team accomplishment and a water bottle will be absolutely celebrated!

I may try and do this throughout the season as long as there is interest.
As the season goes on this could be an interesting way to track some rookies that we followed from college and through the draft.

I will try and find some solid sources to keep it accurate as possible ( just doing this on a whim for now)

For now this may have some inaccuracies and be a bit messy
(Starting it by phone while traveling and have a bit of time)

It will include some other notable info at times that isn’t solely rookies
Like 2nd and 3rd year players possibly breaking out or whatever it may be that makes them newsworty

It will certainly contain some hyperbole take it for what it’s worth.

Here’s a roundup of standout NFL rookie performances during the 2025 preseason (as of mid-August 2025):






Preseason Highlights: Rookie Standouts


Quarterbacks

• Shedeur Sanders (Browns, 5th round) – In his debut, completed 14 of 23 passes for 138 yards and 2 TDs, no interceptions. His strong outing has notably improved his Fantasy ADP (down 13 spots to QB26).
• Jaxson Dart (Giants, 1st round) – Threw for 154 yards and a TD, orchestrating three scoring drives.
• Cam Ward (Titans, top pick) – Preseason Week 1 grade of A−, displayed good pocket presence and accuracy. ( below will be a counterpoint )
• Cam Miller (Raiders, 6th round) – Completed 6 of 7 passes for 76 yards, led a fourth-quarter comeback for a tie; ranked 8th in QB efficiency in Week 1, alongside elite names like Joe Burrow.
• Tyler Shough (Saints, 2nd round) – Threw a 54-yard touchdown, finishing with 165 yards (15/22); outshined veteran Spencer Rattler in the same game.

Other Positions & Roles

• Jihaad Campbell (Eagles, LB) – Earned a solid B for his preseason debut.
• Drew Kendall (Eagles, C) – Received an A for playing consistently through major snaps.
• Darius Cooper (Eagles, WR, UDF) – Delivered an A+, impressing with route running and scoring a touchdown.
• Connor Colby (49ers, 7th-round OG) – Posted the highest PFF grade among 49ers offensive players in preseason; strong in pass protection and stepping up amid injuries.
• Shilo Sanders (Buccaneers, UDF) – Strong debut with 37 defensive snaps: no receptions allowed, a tackle, and a QB hit.
• Abdul Carter (Giants, EDGE) – Earned an A+ from CBS following an explosive debut: three pressures on three snaps.
• Tyler Warren (Colts, TE, 1st round) – Graded A in Week 1, showing strong hands and effective blocking, including a 23-yard catch.
• Eric Rogers (UDFA, Chargers, CB) – Intercepted two passes on Sunday, including a 43-yard pick-six vs. the Saints’ Tyler Shough.
• Jalon Walker, James Pearce Jr., Xavier Watts (Falcons, various rounds) – In Week 2, Pearce Jr. logged 3 QB pressures and 4 tackles; Watts had a pair of tackles. Both earned significant run as rookie safeties.

Interesting Special Mentions

• Cam Little (Jaguars, Kicker) – Set an NFL record with a 70-yard field goal during a 2025 preseason game.

Here’s a look at some of the most notable “disappointments” from the 2025 NFL preseason, focusing mainly on rookies and other notable
Players

1.


Cam Ward (QB, Titans – 2nd Pick)


Despite early optimism, Ward’s Week 2 showing was problematic—completing just 2-of-7 passes for 42 yards, with the first-team offense generating only 55 net yards and one first down during his time on the field. Fan reactions are split, and some accountability is being placed on performance rather than schedule or missing teammates.


2.
Chiefs’ Defensive Rookies (Omarr Norman-Lott, Ashton Gillotte, Jeffrey Bassa, Nohl Williams)

Kansas City’s defense was pummeled—especially by Seattle’s backfield—leading to concerns about their depth on the defensive line. The struggling rookies were particularly exposed; Williams even exited early due to a concussion.

3.
Bilhal Kone (CB, Ravens – 6th Round)

A devastating knee injury in his preseason appearance ended Kone’s rookie year prematurely. He tore both his ACL and MCL and will miss the entire 2025 season.

4.
Ashton Jeanty (RB, Raiders – 6th Overall)

Jeanty’s debut couldn’t have gone worse—-1 yard on three carries against the Seahawks. While offensive line issues were partially blamed, the result was still underwhelming for the highly drafted back.


5.
Jamon Dumas-Johnson (LB, Packers, UDFA)

A true preseason flop—he missed four tackles in only 25 snaps, earning the lowest PFF grade among all linebackers that week.

6.
Kaleb Johnson (RB, Steelers – 3rd Round)


Considered one of the key offensive additions for Pittsburgh, Johnson’s preseason didn’t impress: just 20 yards on eight carries (2.5 YPC). Analysts urge patience, but concerns remain about his lack of explosiveness and pass protection.

7.
Carolina Panthers Rookie Class


Once a promising group in camp, the rookies fell flat in their opener—marking the debut as “underwhelming.” While there were flashes (like McMillan’s catch or Scourton’s sack), miscues and lack of consistency held them back.

Eagles’ Performance Recap: Darius Cooper Shines, While Others Lag

In the Eagles–Bengals game, cornerbacks Kelee Ringo and Adoree’ Jackson were notable disappointments, with Ringo missing a critical tackle. The edge rushers also failed to generate pressure, dampening expectations

This story is still in the early stages and will certainly bring more information that will be needed to make a fair determination.
As it stands now with sign stealing allegations and recruitment violations now being talked about will we see a stripping of their 2023 trophy?

Should Washington be named the 2023 NCAA Champion?
This will be interesting to watch unfold over the next several months.

Here are a couple early articles

Just wanted to post some history of great Rams football.
Along with some disappointing playoff results.

Texans LT is injured at the moment, guess who the. back up is without z Jared Verse is licking his chops!! lets!! Fkin Goooooooo!

ESPN reports that the Cowboys are the most valuable franchise followed by the Rams and Giants.
I guess Jerry’s not a total idiot.

My English friend stopped by my office this morning and shared something with me to pass on to our UK Brethren. It has to do with the Rams vs jags game over there this season.

He listens to a UK Sports radio station called Talk Sport all day because he is a diehard soccer fan. That station just announced an amazing giveaway for The Rams game at Wimbly. Best he could remember... you'll receive 6 VIP tickets to the game with drinks and food included. You'll also receive $£5000.00 cash. You must live in the UK to play.

It's a drawing. Each entry is only $£2.00. I guess you can enter once free by mailing in a post card... but $£2.00 is nothing for that kind of return. Wow

He told me that you guys will all know that radio station... apparently it is the biggest sports radio station in the world.

The only thing that I'd like to require on this is... If any of you guys win, you gotta give me two of the tickets so the wife and I can fly over for the game! Seems only fair right? LOL

GOOD LUCK

In 2022 the Eagles became the 1st and only team in NFL history with 4 players having double digit sacks. Hassan Reddick (16), Javon Hargrave (11), Brandon Graham (11l, Josh Sweat (11) are the only to do it, so far. Does our quadheaded monster of Verse, Young, Turner and Fiske, who are already knocking on the door, have a chance to replicate this production this year? What would our teams' ceiling be this year if it were to happen? I am more optimistic this year than years past despite the unsettling situation with Stafford and AJ. I think this D is gonna be special this year, just a gut feeling maybe.

Just for the helluva it, let's set a new record and make it 5 when Stewart joins the mix with double digits sacks in a situational role, just like Sweat's role in '22.

From the Podium: OC Mike LaFleur and DC Chris Shula on upcoming joint practice with Saints, preseason standouts and more​

Aug 13, 2025 at 02:22 PM

Wyatt Miller
Staff Writer

WOODLAND HILLS, Calif. – The Rams have had to adapt to different circumstances recently. From scheduling a last-minute joint practice with the Saints after the Chargers canceled, to navigating quarterback Matthew Stafford's back injury, the coaching staff has had a busy week.
After Wednesday's jog through, offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur and defensive coordinator Chris Shula spoke with local media about their approach to Thursday's joint practice, preseason standouts and more. Here are the most significant quotes and talking points from those press conferences.

​

"We're doing our stuff (in the joint practice on Thursday), and it's rules ball right now. We're not necessarily game planning, whether it's a preseason game or an opponent." - Shula​

While the Rams aren't concocting an opponent-specific game plan for either the Saints on Thursday or the Chargers on Saturday, the fact that those two teams played each other in the preseason already means they are watching film from the same game, but on opposite sides of the ball. "It's a challenge, but at the same time, we're not putting a ton of stock into (it)."
The Rams play the Saints in Week 9 this year, which Shula said is always in the back of their minds as they prepare for the joint practice. Still, these practices are an opportunity for players to "try some things" against competition that isn't their own team. Still, they want to perform well, giving them a "heightened level of urgency."

​

"(Inside linebacker Pooh Paul Jr. on Saturday) was really good, communicated good, thought he played really hard... Pooh Paul's always been a guy, just talking to a lot of his college coaches and stuff at Ole Miss, when the lights come on, he shines the brightest where he tackles, he runs, he's physical. And when you can play full tackle football with pads on, that's where he's gonna shine the brightest. So I thought he did a really nice job with the green dot, especially for missing the first couple of weeks." - Shula​

Paul made five tackles (four of defense and one on special teams), including three stops (an unsuccessful play for the offense, via PFF), against the Cowboys on Saturday. He relayed plays to the defense and took 34 snaps in what was a successful day for L.A. Shula said he liked how the entire inside linebacker unit looked in that game.

Meanwhile, fellow rookie draft pick Josaiah Stewart has done a "great" job at outside linebacker, Shula said, even picking up his first NFL sack on Saturday. After missing the first few weeks of OTA practice with a hamstring injury, Stewart has shown that "he's physical, he's tough," and Shula has liked the way he's progressed, learning from veterans in his position group.
One of those veterans is reigning Defensive Rookie of the Year Jared Verse, who Shula said has diversified his pass rush throughout the offseason program. "In OTAs, training camp, before we got pads on, we're not really bull rushing too much, so it allows him to kind of work some hands, work some edges, work a different array of moves." Expect a more versatile Verse in Year 2.

​

"(Offensive lineman Willie Lampkin IV is) a strong, sturdy dude... Sometimes, obviously, the attributes don't get you drafted, but it doesn't matter. You just got to land, and we like what we've seen from him. I thought he had a really good game, I thought he got better as the game went on." - LaFleur​

Lampkin earned the second-highest overall grade (94.1) and run blocking grade (92.2) among all offensive linemen (min 20% snaps played) in the first week of preseason, according to PFF. At just 5-foot-11, 290 pounds, the undrafted rookie out of North Carolina has impressed not just Rams coaches, but a variety of football fans and analysts.

I know it's Game 1 preseason but i can't remember a rams Center serving pancakes like
this in a while..

I haven’t seen this posted anywhere, but it looks like the Rams are hosting the Saints instead of the Chargers tomorrow. The Chargers canceled joint practice with the Rams because of injuries.

Will be good enough to lead the way for the Rams this year? Will the offense be a more ground and pound play action type offense if JG winds up being the Qb? Somewhat similar to the Whiners style of offense under Garoppolo. If Garoppolo plays the majority of the season what is the Rams record and how much does your excitement/expectations drop off? I was extremely stoked coming into the season only to be kicked in the nuts with whats happening with Stafford.

This is an interesting video about a murder of a Marshall in the late 1800’s. It all starts with a photograph.
